Latency Prediction for LLM Inference on NPU Systems (opens in new tab)

Deploying Large Language Models (LLMs) requires exploring a large configuration space spanning parallelization strategies, batching techniques, and scheduling policies. Exhaustive measurement across this space is impractical, making latency prediction essential for system optimization. While NPUs have emerged as accelerators designed for LLM inference, no prediction methodology has been established for them. Specifically, applying prior work to ...
