UnverifiedThe scaled deployment of next-generation inference chips and GPU clusters has spread out and reduced the per-unit computing cost.70% similarUnverifiedThe number of special function units (SFUs) on a GPU is far smaller than the number of ordinary CUDA cores or tensor cores, making SFUs highly prone to becoming throughput bottlenecks when a large number of threads simultaneously request transcendental function computations.70% similarUnverifiedTransformer autoregressive generation is divided into the Prefill stage (compute-intensive, with higher GPU utilization) and the Decode stage (bandwidth-intensive, generating tokens one at a time)69% similarUnverifiedMainstream Transformer architectures avoid redundant computation of already-processed tokens through the KV Cache mechanism.68% similarUnverifiedThe Inductor backend lowers computation graphs to efficient Triton GPU kernels or C++ code for CPU.68% similar
