Since KV blocks are not required to be contiguous in physical memory, PagedAttention can dynamically allocate blocks on ...

Design and understanding of the computer system as a whole unit. Performance Evaluation and its role in computer system design; Instruction Set Architecture design, Datapath design and optimizations ...

In this paper, the authors analyze the trade-offs in architecting stacked DRAM either as part of main memory or as a hardware-managed cache. Using stacked DRAM as part of main memory increases the ...

A new technical paper titled “Accelerating LLM Inference via Dynamic KV Cache Placement in Heterogeneous Memory System” was published by researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and IBM.

Choosing, buying and learning to use an IBM-compatible personal computer is daunting enough. But as computers have grown more powerful, the issue of memory has become complicated to the point of ...
