Dooly: Configuration-Agnostic, Redundancy-Aware Profiling for LLM Inference Simulation

Read the original on arXiv AI →

Dooly is a profiling tool for large language model (LLM) inference that eliminates the need to re‑profile every operation for each configuration. By labeling input dimensions with taint propagation and only profiling operations missing from its latency database, Dooly builds a configuration‑agnostic, redundancy‑aware latency database that can be used as a drop‑in backend for simulators. In experiments across two GPU platforms, three attention backends, and multiple model architectures, Dooly achieves simulation accuracy within 5% MAPE for time‑to‑first‑token and 8% for total‑processing‑time while cutting profiling GPU‑hours by 56.4% compared to traditional methods.

HoliBench: A Cross-Platform Benchmarking and Deployment Toolkit for Foundation Models in CPS-IoT Applications

HoliBench is a modular benchmarking and deployment toolkit that jointly measures accuracy, latency, and energy for foundation models across a wide range of devices, from single-board computers to GPU servers. It provides a platform abstraction layer that calibrates cross-device measurements and supports multiple model modalities, inference engines, and quantization levels. Using HoliBench, the authors evaluated 20 models on 7 device types, revealing tradeoffs such as limited latency gains from quantization on low‑precision hardware and diminishing accuracy returns relative to energy consumption, while also showing that single-model profiles can predict multi-model pipeline performance within a few percent.
