Tiered KV Cache Boosts Large LLM Inference on SageMaker HyperPod
Running large language model inference at scale often involves a trade-off between large GPU instances and slow time-to-first-token due to KV cache limitations. This post describes building a tiered KV cache on Amazon SageMaker HyperPod, extending the cache into a shared, distributed NVMe pool with Curvine, allowing replicas to reuse cache at near-local-disk speeds on cost-efficient instances.
