Summary
ATEST is a resource-aware test-time scaling framework that adapts large language model sampling based on query difficulty and GPU load, improving energy efficiency. It addresses the rising energy cost of inference under GPU contention by optimizing the number of samples dynamically.
AI-assisted summary based on the listed source.
What happened
Test-time scaling (TTS) improves large language model (LLM) reasoning by sampling multiple answers, but fixed sampling budgets ignore both query difficulty and the changing energy cost of inference under GPU contention. We measure up to a 4.1-fold increase in energy for the same four-sample query as GPU load...
Why it matters
By considering both query complexity and real-time GPU resource availability, ATEST can reduce unnecessary energy consumption during LLM inference. This approach enables more efficient use of computational resources while maintaining reasoning quality.
