Description
Proposal to Enhance Memory Efficiency and Performance in MoE W8A8
Background:
Last week, a pull request (PR) (see PR #580) introduced optimizations on memory usage for MoE W8A8, which significantly enhanced the handling of key-value caches (kvcaches). However, a recent commit (5c6d05a) appears to have rolled back some of these optimizations, potentially impacting memory efficiency.
Observations:
Memory Management: Efficient memory usage is crucial as it directly impacts the number of kvcaches that can be maintained, which are integral to model performance and scalability.
Performance Trade-offs: While speed is essential, excessive memory usage can lead to constraints on larger dataset handling and model scaling.
