arXiv:2606. 17059v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Prefix caching can reduce LLM inference latency by reusing KV caches across requests with shared prompts, but cluster-scale reuse is challenging because caches are partitioned across nodes.

arXiv:2607. 22648v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Inspired by the design of client caching in Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), PTStore distributes and replicates popular tensors that form reusable KV cache prefixes, which are the main technique used by state of art approaches to accelerate inferences.
arXiv:2608. 19677v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Prefix caching avoids prefill only when a repeated request returns to a server that still holds the prefix KV.
The paper investigates cache replacement strategies for large language model (LLM) prefix reuse, analyzing production traces from two companies and testing 14 eviction algorithms in both high-bandwidth memory (HBM) and large memory-pool environments. It finds that sophisticated policies designed for traditional caches offer little advantage over simple LRU, because prefix reuse is largely driven by the regular pacing of active sessions, making recency a strong predictor. The study also highlights new challenges such as heavy-tailed session footprints and variable miss costs, and proposes a compute-savings ratio along with two offline oracles to better quantify these effects, suggesting that effective prefix-cache management should combine recency with selective quick demotion, compute-aware partial eviction, and capacity-dependent granularity.
arXiv:2607. 02525v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present PEEK, a lightweight scheduling and eviction framework for both online (streaming) and offline (batch) LLM serving; this paper focuses on the online regime.
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).
arXiv:2606. 00946v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Efficiently serving large language model (LLM) inference tasks is crucial both for user-perceived latency such as time-to-first-token (TTFT) and for GPU utilization.
