PipeLive introduces a method for live, in‑place reconfiguration of pipeline parallelism in large language model serving. By redesigning the KV cache layout and extending PageAttention, it enables dynamic resizing of the cache without interrupting inference. The system also uses an incremental KV patching mechanism to keep KV states consistent during reconfiguration, achieving significant reductions in reconfiguration time and improvements in latency metrics.

The paper presents a method for distributing large language model inference across multiple Intel AI PCs by splitting the model into pipeline shards, each pre‑compiled into an OpenVINO graph. Three key techniques—beam_idx Gather to enable GPU optimizations, speculative decoding on stateful models, and interleaved micro‑batching—allow a two‑node Llama 3.1 8B INT4 pipeline to serve two users at 1.79× the throughput of a single‑node model, while a four‑node deployment can run a 70B model that no single PC can hold. The authors provide code, benchmark logs, and reproduction scripts on GitHub.
