DynaResize: Runtime GPU Reallocation for Disaggregated LLM Post-Training

arXiv:2607. 22614v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: RL-based LLM post-training increasingly disaggregates Rollout and Training across separate GPU resources, but static GPU partitioning suffers from severe pipeline bubbles under long-tail rollout latency.

WattGPU: Predicting Inference Power and Latency on Unseen GPUs and LLMs

Large Language Model (LLM) inference workloads are a rapidly growing contributor to data center energy consumption. Optimizing these deployments requires matching specific LLMs to the most efficient GPUs, but operators currently lack the tools to do so without exhaustively profiling each combination.
