Researchers have introduced ReplaySSM, a novel method designed to optimize the performance of State Space Models (SSMs) in AI applications. This technique addresses bottlenecks caused by frequent state input/output operations in hybrid models by treating the state as a checkpoint and a buffer of recent inputs. By periodically updating the checkpoint, ReplaySSM significantly reduces memory traffic and improves speculative decoding efficiency. The implementation in vLLM for models like Mamba-2 and Gated DeltaNet has shown acceleration of up to 1.47x over standard decoding and nearly double the throughput of existing speculative decoding methods on large models.
