Key point
eLLM, a CPU-based LLM inference framework, has been released, delivering higher performance than GPUs on long-context tasks.
Details
A new approach that goes beyond GPU-centric AI infrastructure, eLLM, has been released. eLLM is a CPU-only LLM inference framework.
A single Xeon CPU server can outperform an H20 server equipped with 8 GPUs on workloads with a high share of prefilling and long contexts.
The key technical features are as follows:
- Large memory utilization: Long prompts can be prefilled at once, avoiding chunked execution or repeated parameter loading.
- Large cache utilization: Attention heads are computed one at a time, reducing repeated loading of the KV cache.
