Managed attention key-value caches with paged blocks, flexible sharing and copy-on-write, supporting higher-throughput serving in the vLLM system.
Scientific scope
Managed attention key-value caches with paged blocks, flexible sharing and copy-on-write, supporting higher-throughput serving in the vLLM system. PagedAttention and the original vLLM system are one package. Throughput comparisons depend on hardware, model, requests and sampling strategy; later vLLM features are not included.
Evidence
The linked original sources describe the stated contribution and its evidence limits. WRS has not independently rerun the experiments or certified a proof. PagedAttention and the original vLLM system are one package. Throughput comparisons depend on hardware, model, requests and sampling strategy; later vLLM features are not included.
