Weight Reuse and Shared Cache Architecture

general · architecture diagram.

About This Architecture

Weight reuse and shared cache architecture optimizes GPU memory utilization by intercepting model parameters, serializing weights to disk via IPC handles, and aligning them in physical memory for zero-copy access across prefill and decode instances. CPU orchestration coordinates three phases: parameter interception, serialization with save/load modes, and physical memory alignment, enabling multiple GPU instances to access identical weights without duplication. This pattern reduces memory footprint and improves inference throughput for large language models by leveraging memory-mapped IPC paths and persistent weight caching. Fork this diagram on Diagrams.so to customize the architecture for your inference serving stack, adjust phase timing, or integrate with your orchestration layer. The placeholder load mode with zero-dimensional tensors avoids redundant allocations during decode, making this design ideal for batched inference workloads.

How can I reduce GPU memory usage by sharing model weights across multiple inference instances?

Weight reuse and shared cache architecture intercepts model parameters, serializes them via IPC handles to persistent storage, and aligns them in physical memory so prefill and decode GPU instances access identical weights without duplication. This three-phase approach (parameter intercept, serialization, memory alignment) eliminates redundant allocations and enables zero-copy access through memor
