Using lmcache Can Significantly Improve TTFT in Model Inference
· β˜• 10 min read
1. Introduction to LMCache TTFT is the time from when a request is issued until the model generates its first token. Because the Prefill phase has to encode the input context into a KV Cache before generation can begin, producing that first token requires a large amount of computation, which makes TTFT high.

What Is Prefix Cache
· β˜• 3 min read
1. What Is Prefix Cache In model inference scenarios, caching mechanisms are often used to improve throughput and performance. There are two common caching mechanisms: Key-Value Cache (KV Cache), which is oriented toward the internals of a single request, caching the intermediate computation results (Key and Value) of the Transformer model to avoid redundant computation.

1. What Ray Is In 2016, UC Berkeley’s RISELab released a new distributed computing framework called Ray. In 2017, after the Ray paper was published, it drew broad attention across the industry; in China it was mainly Ant Group that adopted and contributed to Ray. In 2020, Ray released version
