vLLM engine boosts LLM inference throughput by 24x

The vLLM inference engine significantly improves LLM server efficiency by implementing PagedAttention, a technique adapted from operating systems. This method allows for better GPU memory utilization, reportedly leading to a 24x increase in inference throughput on the same hardware. This optimization addresses a common issue where LLM servers waste a substantial portion of their GPU memory. AI
