arXiv:2602.24044v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Language Model (LLM) adapters enable low-cost model specialization, but introduce complex caching and scheduling challenges in distributed serving systems where hundreds of adapters must be hosted concurrently. While prior work has largely focused on latency and throughput optimization, minimizing GPU resource requirements through near-peak utilization remains largely underexplored. This paper presents a data-driven pipeline that, for a given workload, computes an adapter placement that serves the workload with the minimum number
The proliferation of LLMs and increasing demand for specialized applications necessitate efficient serving solutions to manage rising operational costs and resource demands.
Optimizing GPU utilization for LLM-adapter serving directly addresses the critical bottleneck of compute resources, impacting the economic viability and scalability of AI applications.
The focus shifts from solely latency/throughput to minimizing GPU requirements, making AI model deployment more cost-effective and accessible, particularly for complex, multi-adapter workloads.
