The paper proposes DCO, a dynamic cache orchestration scheme for multi-core AI accelerators that uses application-aware policies and dataflow information to guide cache replacement, bypass decisions, and thrashing mitigation. Using a cycle-accurate simulator, the authors demonstrate up to 1.80× speedup over conventional cache architectures and validate the approach with an analytical model and RTL implementation. The design occupies 0.064 mm² on a 15 nm process and operates at 2 GHz, showing that a shared system-level cache can simplify programming while boosting performance for large language model workloads.

PrefixBench-H100 is a reproducible benchmark that evaluates how reusing prompt prefixes affects LLM serving performance on NVIDIA H100 GPUs. It tests two popular runtimes (vLLM and TensorRT-LLM) across varied workloads, measuring metrics such as time-to-first-token, latency, throughput, cache hits, and GPU memory usage. The study identifies when prefix reuse significantly reduces first‑token latency and when cache pressure diminishes those gains, noting that cache effectiveness is largely unaffected by concurrency or output length, while differences arise mainly in scheduling.

arXiv:2606. 06302v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-turn Large Language Model (LLM) serving is critical for consistent user experiences, yet the linear growth of the Key-Value (KV) cache imposes significant pressure on GPU memory and bandwidth.
