A new research paper details a method for decomposing speedups in AI model serving, separating gains from runtime, kernel optimizations, and quantization. The study, conducted on four NVIDIA RTX A5000 GPUs, found that runtime improvements accounted for approximately two-thirds of the total speedup. Quantization offered a smaller, at most 1.5% gain across tested models, but significantly increased the number of concurrent users supported. The research also explored optimal instance configurations, suggesting that workload and model size dictate whether sharding or multiple independent instances are more effective. AI
