GraniKV boosts AI multi-agent throughput with asymmetric KV-cache paging

Researchers have developed GraniKV, a novel KV-cache paging system designed to enhance the efficiency of multi-agent AI systems, particularly those with long shared prefixes. GraniKV employs an asymmetric granularity approach, allocating the shared prefix contiguously and the per-request suffix with fine-grained allocation. This system integrates a dispatcher that selects the optimal backend based on workload characteristics, leading to significant throughput improvements over existing production baselines. For instance, GraniKV achieved up to 2.16x higher output-token throughput on Llama-3.1-8B and demonstrated substantial gains in heterogeneous multi-agent serving scenarios where traditional methods faltered.
