Fast-Track for Long-Context LLMs

Fast-Track for Long-Context LLMs

Optimizing LLM serving with unified sparse attention

LServe introduces a novel system to dramatically improve long-sequence LLM performance by addressing the two major bottlenecks: attention computation and KV cache memory usage.

  • Unifies sparse attention approaches for both prefilling and decoding stages
  • Achieves up to 2.3× latency reduction and 5.8× throughput improvement
  • Maintains high accuracy while significantly reducing memory footprint
  • Demonstrates practical implementation across different LLM architectures

This research resolves a critical engineering challenge by making long-context LLMs more feasible for real-world applications, enabling more efficient text generation while preserving quality.
