A new research paper proposes a "Floor-First" triage workflow for optimizing Large Language Model (LLM) serving. This method prioritizes estimation over heavy profiling, modeling each decode step as a resource vector to determine overlap quality before resorting to profilers. The approach allows for deployment alternatives to be compared by identifying which resource will become a bottleneck first as load increases, rather than relying solely on point benchmarks. As a case study, the paper analyzes a DeepSeek-V3.2-style 671B MoE/MLA model on NVIDIA H20 GPUs, demonstrating how this workflow can inform critical deployment decisions regarding attention layouts.
