arXiv:2608. 17336v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-context prefill in large language models (LLMs) incurs substantial computation and memory traffic because dense self-attention computes quadratic query-key scores.

arXiv:2606. 13392v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Ultra-long-context capability is becoming indispensable for frontier LLMs: agentic workflows, repository-scale code reasoning, and persistent memory all require the model to jointly attend over hundreds of thousands to millions of tokens, yet the quadratic cost of softmax attention makes this untenable at deployment scale.
Autoregressive large language model (LLM) serving is increasingly limited by key-value (KV) cache movement rather than dense matrix multiplication. Modern paged-attention systems reduce KV-cache fragmentation and mature kernels such as FlashInfer provide highly optimized native-paged decode attention.
arXiv:2608. 11519v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Full self-attention is a strong token mixer for PDE surrogates on irregular domains, but its quadratic cost limits its use on high-resolution problems.
arXiv:2606. 26666v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autoregressive large language model (LLM) serving is increasingly limited by key-value (KV) cache movement rather than dense matrix multiplication.
arXiv:2606. 02964v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Model (LLM) inference relies on key-value (KV) caches to avoid redundant attention computation.
arXiv:2512. 20968v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Distributed attention is essential for scaling large language models (LLMs) to long contexts, yet existing methods either have limited parallelism or incur high communication costs.
