Netpreme X-Mem™ advances LLM sparse attention throughput

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Netpreme has developed XM-Sparse, a new testbed that pushes the boundaries of sparse attention in large language models. By utilizing Netpreme X-Mem™ technology and SGLang HiSparse, XM-Sparse demonstrates significant improvements in decode throughput and reduces time per output token (TPOT). These advancements are achieved through high-bandwidth access to offloaded KV cache and increased memory capacity, outperforming traditional host DRAM. AI

IMPACT This development could lead to more efficient and faster inference for large language models by optimizing memory access and throughput.
