VerifiedThe KV Cache (key-value cache) mechanism accelerates inference by caching the Key and Value vectors generated by the self-attention layer to avoid redundant computation, but the longer the context, the more vectors must reside in VRAM, causing memory pressure to grow in a near-linear fashion.77% similarUnverifiedKV cache compression is an important direction in current large model inference optimization, and reducing VRAM usage, extending context, and lowering costs are industry-recognized value points.75% similarUnverifiedKV Cache往往占据推理总显存的30%至70%，是制约大模型推理吞吐量和上下文长度的主要瓶颈73% similarVerifiedThe KV cache grows linearly with context length, increasing the memory read volume per step in the decoding phase, which is the fundamental reason decoding speed decreases as context grows.72% similarUnverifiedIn ultra-long context inference scenarios, the performance bottleneck is often not compute but the KV cache itself.72% similar
