arXiv:2607. 27090v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models are increasingly deployed with persistent personalized context, such as accumulated memory profiles or long conversation histories, that is shared across a user's many requests.

arXiv:2608. 02560v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) imposes a prefill cost proportional to retrieved context length, and -- with Transformer backbones -- a KV-cache that grows with each generated token.

arXiv:2606. 02964v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Model (LLM) inference relies on key-value (KV) caches to avoid redundant attention computation.

KVMem is a KV-context virtualization system that allows large language model agents to maintain workspaces exceeding both GPU key‑value capacity and the model’s native context window. It stores overflowed history as paged KV state across GPU memory, host memory, and NVMe, using lightweight, model‑native attention‑space indexes to retrieve relevant historical blocks. Evaluations on long‑context agent benchmarks show that KVMem improves task utility and inference efficiency, enabling up to one million‑token workspaces on consumer GPUs and achieving interactive responsiveness in local deployments.
