Queue Management for SLO-Oriented Large Language Model Serving
Archit Patke, Dhemath Reddy, Saurabh Jha, Haoran Qiu et al.
TL;DR — A queue management framework that enforces latency SLOs for LLM serving by dynamically routing and prioritizing requests across heterogeneous inference capacity.
Why notable — As LLM deployments move into production clouds, meeting strict time-to-first-token and total latency SLOs becomes critical; this work directly addresses that gap with a practical, deployable solution. It is one of the first papers to treat LLM serving as a cloud SLO-management problem rather than a pure model-optimization problem."><meta name=author content="Publish Assistant"><link rel=canonical href=https://pub.sqrt.fr/vincent/publish-assistant/cloud-edge/digests/socc-2024/><link crossorigin=anonymous href=/vincent/publish-assistant/assets/css/stylesheet.d72f07832e13c592b3edba91680bfe70f01daac396179bcace0ac36e8e0494c6.css integrity="sha256-1y8Hgy4TxZKz7bqRaAv+cPAdqsOWF5vKzgrDbo4ElMY=" rel="preload stylesheet" as=style><link rel=icon href=https://pub.sqrt.fr/vincent/publish-assistant/favicon.ico><link rel=icon type=image/png sizes=16x16 href=https://pub.sqrt.fr/vincent/publish-assistant/favicon-16x16.png><link rel=icon type=image/png sizes=32x32 href=https://pub.sqrt.fr/vincent/publish-assistant/favicon-32x32.png><link rel=apple-touch-icon href=https://pub.sqrt.fr/vincent/publish-assistant/apple-touch-icon.png><link rel=mask-icon href=https://pub.sqrt.fr/vincent/publish-assistant/safari-pinned-tab.svg><meta name=theme-color content="#2e2e33"><meta name=msapplication-TileColor content="#2e2e33"><link rel=alternate hreflang=en href=https://pub.sqrt.fr/vincent/publish-assistant/cloud-edge/digests/socc-2024/><noscript><style>#theme-toggle,.top-link{display:none}</style><style>@media(prefers-color-scheme:dark){:root{--theme:rgb(29, 30, 32);--entry:rgb(46, 46, 51);--primary:rgb(218, 218, 219);--secondary:rgb(155, 156, 157);--tertiary:rgb(65, 66, 68);--content:rgb(196, 196, 197);--code-block-bg:rgb(46, 46, 51);--code-bg:rgb(55, 56, 62);--border:rgb(51, 51, 51);color-scheme:dark}.list{background:var(--theme)}.toc{background:var(--entry)}}</style></noscript><script>localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="dark"?document.querySelector("html").dataset.theme="dark":localStorage.getItem("pref-theme")==="light"?document.querySelector("html").dataset.theme="light":window.matchMedia("(prefers-color-scheme: dark)").matches?document.querySelector("html").dataset.theme="dark":document.querySelector("html").dataset.theme="light"</script><meta property="og:url" content="https://pub.sqrt.fr/vincent/publish-assistant/cloud-edge/digests/socc-2024/"><meta property="og:site_name" content="Publish Assistant"><meta property="og:title" content="SoCC 2024 Digest"><meta property="og:description" content="12 papers selected.
