arXiv:2607. 22785v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Apple-Silicon SoCs share CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine over one unified memory system, raising the question of whether transformer inference can be accelerated by splitting single operators across units.

arXiv:2607. 23933v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As LLM agents increasingly rely on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to invoke isolated external sandboxes, disaggregated sandbox deployment introduces a fundamental tension between resource utilization and interactive tail latency.

The paper introduces an elastic key‑value (KV) cache for large language model (LLM) serving that dynamically reclaims a pre‑allocated reserve during decode‑heavy phases and restores it before prefill, using a userspace CUDA virtual‑memory trick that requires no driver changes. The authors implement this mechanism, test it under realistic workloads, and find that it offers only marginal benefits—about a 1 % difference in time‑to‑first‑token for large prefill chunks—and that simpler strategies such as lowering the maximum batch size can achieve similar results. The study also notes that the reserve’s impact diminishes with higher tensor‑parallelism levels.
whyItMatters":"The work demonstrates that a dynamic KV cache reclamation strategy can be implemented without driver patches and that its practical benefits are limited, guiding future LLM serving optimizations toward simpler approaches."

AgentPerfBench is a new benchmarking suite designed to evaluate the inference performance of agentic large language models (LLMs) that handle multi‑turn, tool‑using, and context‑expanding tasks. It builds on real traces from agentic benchmarks such as SWE‑Bench and TerminalBench, and generates synthetic profiles that reflect realistic input/output lengths and turn counts. The suite also provides kernel‑level Nsight Compute traces and a multi‑dimensional roofline model to identify hardware bottlenecks and quantify the gap between traditional chat benchmarks and agentic workloads.
