PTStore (Prefix Tensor Store): Distributed Prefix Caching and Replication for High Throughput Inference Serving

arXiv:2607. 22648v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Inspired by the design of client caching in Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), PTStore distributes and replicates popular tensors that form reusable KV cache prefixes, which are the main technique used by state of art approaches to accelerate inferences.

DPS: Dual-Mode Precision LLM Serving with Semi-Unified Memory

DPS (Dual-Mode Precision LLM Serving) is a system that treats model‑weight memory as elastic by using a multi‑precision representation. Under normal load it serves the full‑accuracy model, but when KV‑cache pressure spikes it switches to a lower‑precision variant and reallocates unused weight memory for KV cache blocks. Built on Semi‑Unified Memory and implemented on top of vLLM, DPS boosts sustained throughput by 2.1–3.3× and effective pass@1 by up to +41 pp over static FP16 while maintaining FP16‑class accuracy.
