arXiv:2607. 26491v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The energy consumption of Large Language Model (LLM) serving is becoming a major system challenge as deployment scales, driven by hardware power and thermal constraints and rising electricity costs.
A comprehensive guide to optimizing LLM inference by eliminating padding overhead with hardware-aware sequence packing. The post I Built a C++ Backend So My GPU Would Stop Eating Air appeared first on Towards Data Science .
arXiv:2608. 08382v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As LLM inference shifts to multi-tenant GPU clusters, co-batching improves throughput but obscures per-tenant usage and limits control.
The paper reports the development of 2‑bit microkernels for CPUs and mixed‑precision 2‑bit kernels for Intel Xe2 GPUs, achieving near‑roofline performance. Integrated into LLM inference pipelines, these kernels deliver up to 7× speedup over 16‑bit inference on CPUs and 6.7× on GPUs, surpassing the current state‑of‑the‑art bitnet.cpp runtime by 2.2×. The work demonstrates that ultra‑low‑bit LLM models can be deployed efficiently, offering significant gains in latency, memory, throughput, and energy consumption.
