A detailed analysis of vLLM optimizations on NVIDIA L40S GPUs, using Llama 3.1 8B Instruct, reveals that continuous batching is the most significant performance enhancer, offering a 73x throughput increase and substantial energy efficiency gains. FP8 quantization also provides a notable boost, increasing throughput by approximately 50% with minimal quality loss, while speculative decoding offers further, though less dramatic, improvements depending on the workload. The research emphasizes the importance of high concurrency for maximizing efficiency on this hardware. AI
