The scaling of Large Language Models (LLMs) is increasingly constrained by memory communication overhead between High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM) and SRAM. Specifically, the Key-Value (KV) cache size scales with both model dimensions and context length, creating a significant bottleneck for long-context inference. Google research team has proposed TurboQuant, a data-oblivious quantization framework designed to achieve near-optimal […]
