Large language models (LLMs) excel at processing long sequences, boosting demand for key-value (KV) caching. While recent efforts to evict KV cache have alleviated the inference burden, they often fail to allocate resources rationally…

The key-value (KV) cache is a foundational optimization in Transformer-based large language models (LLMs), eliminating redundant recomputation of past token representations during autoregressive generation. However, its memory footprint…

When LLM conversations grow beyond the context window, old content must be evicted -- but how does the model recover it when needed? We propose cooperative paging: evicted segments are replaced with minimal keyword bookmarks ([pN:keywords],…
