Summary
SLIM identifies that increasing batch size in LLM serving improves throughput only up to a deployment-specific plateau, beyond which gains are marginal and latency and GPU memory use increase. Prior explanations focused on memory bandwidth limits, but SLIM provides a more detailed performance model.
AI-assisted summary based on the listed source.
What happened
Large language model (LLM) serving commonly increases batch size to improve throughput, but performance eventually reaches a deployment-dependent plateau beyond which larger batches provide marginal gains while increasing latency and GPU memory consumption. Previous studies have attributed this behavior to...
