PowerInfer
High-speed Large Language Model Serving for Local Deployment
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...
