Scepsy: Serving Agentic Workflows Using Aggregate LLM Pipelines

Scepsy is a serving system designed to efficiently schedule arbitrary multi‑LLM agentic workflows on GPU clusters. It leverages the observation that each LLM’s share of execution time remains relatively stable across requests, profiling LLMs under various parallelism levels to build an Aggregate LLM Pipeline that predicts throughput and latency. Using this predictor, Scepsy searches for optimal GPU allocations—balancing fractional GPU shares, tensor parallelism, and replica counts—and then heuristically places them on the cluster to reduce fragmentation and honor network topology, achieving up to 2.5× higher throughput and 1.0–3.3× lower latency compared to baseline approaches.

KernelGenBench: Can LLMs and Agents Write Efficient Kernels Across Operator Sources and Hardware Platforms?

KernelGenBench is a unified benchmark that evaluates large language models and agentic systems for generating efficient Triton kernels across diverse operator sources and hardware platforms. It covers 210 operators from PyTorch ATen, vLLM, and cuBLAS, and tests a 110‑operator subset on six different chips, consuming over 15 billion tokens in evaluation. The study finds that no single method dominates across all sources and platforms, with significant variations in correctness and performance depending on the operator source and hardware, and that agentic approaches require millions of tokens per successful operator.
