UnverifiedThe KV Cache (Key-Value Cache) strategy stores already-computed attention key-value pairs in GPU memory for reuse, which consumes a large amount of GPU memory resources.80% similarVerifiedKV缓存将已计算的Key-Value矩阵存储在显存中实现增量计算，代价是显存占用随序列长度线性增长80% similarUnverifiedKV Cache memory usage is proportional to the number of layers × number of attention heads × context length × precision; GQA reduces cache size by having multiple query heads share the same set of Key-Value heads, and this design has been adopted by the Llama 2/3 and Qwen series.79% similarVerifiedThe VRAM usage of KV Cache grows linearly with sequence length; for a 70-billion-parameter model using GQA, the KV Cache usage can reach tens of GB when processing 100,000 tokens.76% similarUnverifiedPrompt caching saves pre-computed KV matrices on the server side, reducing the processing of repeated prefixes from O(n²) to O(1) cache reads, enabling up to 90% compression in latency and cost.75% similar
