TokenRouter is a new serving system designed for token‑level routing of large language models (LLMs). It adopts a request‑centric programming model and launches a dedicated subserver for each LLM, using delayed‑batching schedulers whose hyperparameters are derived from a throughput model. Across various routing algorithms, workloads, and model pairs, TokenRouter delivers 2.01‑64.15× higher decoding throughput than existing systems, markedly improving the efficiency of token‑level LLM inference.
arXiv:2412. 04504v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: As large language models (LLMs) grow in popularity for their diverse capabilities, improving the efficiency of their inference systems has become increasingly critical.
arXiv:2504. 11320v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models now serve millions of users daily, with providers incurring costs exceeding $700,000 per day.
arXiv:2606. 00516v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Mixed batching (MB)--interleaving prefill and decode in a single batch--has become the standard scheduling strategy for large language model (LLM) inference due to its efficiency in maximizing compute and memory utilization.
arXiv:2608.28044v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language model (LLM) inference serving is priced by tokens, but GPU energy is consumed over inference windows. This accounting mismatch makes t...
Scorpio is an LLM serving system that optimizes for heterogeneous Service Level Objectives (SLOs) such as Time to First Token (TTFT) and Time Per Output Token (TPOT). It uses adaptive scheduling across admission control, queue management, and batch selection, featuring a TTFT Guard that reorders requests by least-deadline-first and rejects unattainable ones, and a TPOT Guard that employs VBS-based admission control and a credit-based batching mechanism. Predictive modules support both guards, and evaluations show Scorpio can increase system goodput by up to 14.4× and improve SLO adherence by up to 46.5% under high load compared to state-of-the-art baselines.
