...Its architecture centers on a high-performance transfer engine that provides unified data transfer across different storage and networking technologies. This engine enables efficient movement of tensors and model data across heterogeneous environments such as GPU memory, system memory, and distributed storage systems. Mooncake also introduces distributed key-value cache storage that allows inference systems to reuse previously computed attention states, significantly improving throughput in large-scale deployments. The system supports advanced networking technologies such as RDMA and NVMe over Fabric, enabling high-speed communication across clusters.

PowerInfer is a high-performance inference engine designed to run large language models efficiently on personal computers equipped with consumer-grade GPUs. The project focuses on improving the performance of local AI inference by optimizing how neural network computations are distributed between CPU and GPU resources. Its architecture exploits the observation that only a subset of neurons in large models are frequently activated, allowing the system to preload frequently used neurons into GPU memory while processing less common activations on the CPU. This hybrid execution strategy significantly reduces memory bottlenecks and improves overall inference speed. ...
