Pagedattention Based Kv Cache Management With Memory Pooling

via “pagedattention-based kv cache memory management”

High-throughput LLM serving engine — PagedAttention, continuous batching, OpenAI-compatible API.

Unique: Introduces block-level virtual memory paging for KV caches (inspired by OS page tables) rather than request-level allocation, enabling fine-grained reuse and prefix sharing across requests without memory fragmentation

vs others: Achieves 10-24x higher throughput than HuggingFace Transformers' contiguous KV allocation by eliminating memory waste from padding and enabling aggressive request batching
