HiDVFS: Hierarchical Multi-Agent DVFS for Real-Time OpenMP DAG Workloads

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2601. 06425v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Leakage power in multicore embedded systems now rivals dynamic power, so DVFS schedulers must respect deadlines and thermal limits, not just average makespan.

DualPace: Decoupled Scheduling and Cooperative GPU--CPU Decoding for LLM Serving

DualPace is an LLM serving runtime that decouples scheduling between a GPU engine and an AMX‑enabled CPU engine, allowing the CPU to independently batch and advance decodes while still cooperating with the GPU for dense stages. This design expands key‑value cache capacity into host memory and reduces bursty CPU progress, leading to significant throughput gains—up to 43.2 % over NEO and 90.6 % over vLLM—without increasing latency. The system also maintains low time‑to‑first‑token and supports higher request rates at comparable tail latency.

TOPAS: Workflow-Aware Prefix-State Scheduling for Multi-Agent LLM Serving

TOPAS is a Task‑Oriented Prefix‑Aware Scheduler designed for multi‑agent large language model serving. It jointly decides which agent prefixes to retain in a shared key‑value cache and which requests to schedule, balancing the reduction of each task’s longest remaining service path against the benefit of downstream prefix reuse while accounting for movement and preemption costs. Experiments on synthetic DAGs and MetaGPT software‑development workflows show that TOPAS can reduce mean and p99 job completion times by up to 39.8%/49.4% and 22.0%/26.6% respectively compared to the best baselines.

Sustainable Edge Vision via Empirically Calibrated DVFS: Eliminating Thermal Throttling on Passively Cooled Hardware

The paper presents an empirically calibrated, state‑aware Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS) scheduler that eliminates thermal throttling on a passively cooled Raspberry Pi 5 during sustained YOLOv8n inference. By using time‑domain guards, absolute temperature bounds, and derivative triggers, the scheduler outperforms a temperature‑only baseline with a 6.8% higher frame rate and 1.9% less energy per frame, and it surpasses an actively cooled reference in energy efficiency. The study also identifies that the passive operating envelope closes at ambient temperatures above 27 °C, where nonlinear leakage undermines DVFS control, and demonstrates that correct scheduling can make mechanical cooling unnecessary within the mapped envelope.
