Researchers have developed BlockServe, a new framework designed to improve the efficiency of serving diffusion large language models (dLLMs). This system addresses the challenge of convergence heterogeneity in batch processing by implementing block-grained scheduling, which allows for the immediate eviction of completed requests at block boundaries. BlockServe also utilizes mixed-state execution and a compute-aware admission controller to expand effective batch capacity. Experiments on Dream and LLaDA models across various benchmarks demonstrated that BlockServe can achieve 1.9x to 10.6x higher throughput compared to Fast-dLLM, while maintaining similar generation quality.
