The paper introduces the Denoising Workload Surface (DWS), a two‑dimensional probability surface that captures the block‑autoregressive generation structure of diffusion large language models (dLLMs). By preserving both output block and within‑block denoising step information, DWS enables a lightweight, prompt‑only predictor to estimate per‑request inference cost accurately, even on a single CPU core. In real‑world serving experiments, DWS reduces cost‑prediction error by up to 2.5× and improves end‑to‑end latency for online chatbots by up to 1.92×.

arXiv:2607. 08930v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Efficient serving of diffusion large language models (dLLMs) is hindered by convergence heterogeneity: when batching multiple requests, different sequences converge at different rates, causing faster requests to stall behind slower stragglers and introducing compute bubbles and tail latency.

arXiv:2606. 07571v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Key-value (KV) caching for shared prefixes is essential for high-throughput large language model (LLM) serving, but it faces critical challenges in emerging diffusion language models (DLMs).
