Uncovering the Secrets of LLM Inference Optimization

This article dissects the major bottlenecks of large‑language‑model serving—prefill vs. decode, sparsity, memory bandwidth, KV‑cache growth—and walks through concrete engineering tricks such as paged attention, radix‑tree KV caches, compressed attention, speculative decoding, FlexGen weight scheduling, FastServe queuing, plus a runnable vLLM code snippet.
