KV Cache stores the Key and Value matrices of all previous tokens during the Decode phase, grows with conversation turns and context window size, and can occupy anywhere from a few GB to tens of GB of memory in long-text scenarios

Unverified上下文越长，模型需要缓存的 KV Cache 越大，KV Cache 使模型生成新 Token 时无需重新计算所有历史 Token 的注意力权重79% similarUnverifiedMethods for compressing the KV Cache include quantization, low-rank approximation, and evicting old tokens by importance; their direct effect is to increase the number of tokens (capacity) that a unit of GPU memory can hold, rather than to save compute or transfer.76% similarVerifiedKV Cache avoids redundant computation by caching already-computed Key and Value matrices, and advanced techniques such as PagedAttention further optimize cache memory management efficiency.75% similarUnverifiedWhen implementing a KV cache, one should compare the cached and uncached versions token by token on greedy output over long sequences (e.g., more than 200 tokens) rather than only performing single-step validation, in order to effectively verify cache correctness.75% similarUnverifiedKV Cache（键值缓存）用于避免自回归生成时对历史 token 的重复计算，但长上下文场景下预填充阶段需占用大量 HBM 显存带宽，拉长首 token 延迟（TTFT）75% similar
