xlite-dev/Awesome-LLM-Inference

Awesome-LLM-Inference is a curated collection of research papers and code implementations focused on large language model and vision-language model inference optimization techniques.

The collection addresses the challenge of efficiently deploying and running large language models by gathering papers and implementations covering key inference optimization approaches. These include attention mechanisms like Flash-Attention and Paged-Attention, quantization methods such as INT8 and INT4, parallelism strategies, and other performance enhancement techniques. The repository serves as a centralized reference point for developers seeking to understand and implement state-of-the-art inference optimization methods.

This resource suits researchers, machine learning engineers, and practitioners building or optimizing LLM inference systems who want to explore the landscape of available techniques and their implementations. It works well for teams evaluating which optimization strategies to adopt for their specific deployment scenarios, whether targeting reduced latency, lower memory consumption, or improved throughput. The collection includes a comprehensive PDF guide covering foundational inference optimization concepts, making it accessible to those new to the field while also providing references to cutting-edge techniques for advanced practitioners.

The project maintains active engagement with the inference optimization community, regularly updating its collection to reflect emerging techniques and implementations. The repository tracks developments across multiple inference frameworks and optimization approaches, incorporating new papers and code references as they become available. Updates include coverage of recent model architectures and their associated optimization strategies, ensuring the collection remains relevant to current inference challenges.
