Boosting LLM/RAG Workflows & Scheduling w/ Composable Memory and Checkpointing // MLOps Podcast #270 with Bernie Wu, VP Strategic Partnerships/Business Development of MemVerge. // Abstract Limited memory capacity hinders the performance and potential of research and production environments utilizing Large Language Models (LLMs) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) techniques. This discussion explores how leveraging industry-standard CXL memory can be configured as a secondary, composable memory tier to alleviate this constraint. We will highlight some recent work we’ve done in integrating of this novel class of memory into LLM/RAG/vector database frameworks and workflows. Disaggregated shared memory is envisioned to offer high performance, low latency caches for model/pipeline checkpoints of LLM models, KV caches during distributed inferencing, LORA adaptors, and in-process data for heterogeneous CPU/GPU workflows. We expect to showcase these types of use cases in the coming months. // Bio Bernie is VP of Strategic Partnerships/Business Development for MemVerge.
