HorizonServe: Coordinating Request Scheduling with GPU Sharing for Omni-Model Serving
The pith
A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.
Core claim
The paper's central claim is that SLO-satisfied goodput on one GPU collapses under omni traffic not because of raw load alone, but because temporal sharing of the shared stage and spatial sharing with downstream generators reinforce each other: a long-path request consumes shared-stage slots, then adds memory-bandwidth pressure that inflates short-path TTFT, and the tightest-SLO class degrades first. HorizonServe establishes that both sides must be controlled together. It admits requests based on remaining slack, hides non-phase requests from the scheduler view for one step to rotate paths, caps ordinary long-path admissions, and maps a smoothed memory-pressure signal to a bounded shared-sta
What carries the argument
The load-bearing object is the omni-specific feedback loop connecting four signals: output-path admission into the shared stage, deadline slack, downstream activation from admitted long-path requests, and the bounded shared-stage SM cap. It is realized by two coupled schedulers: a temporal scheduler that shows the base runtime a filtered queue view (keeping protected and decode work visible, stashing ordinary non-phase prefills, rotating short/long phases, and capping long-path prefills), and a spatial controller that selects an SM cap from an offline ladder based on a normalized, EWMA-smoothed memory-activity signal. The cap is the crucial mechanism: because fixed-SM profiling shows decode
Load-bearing premise
The system assumes that the offline calibration — decode throughput stops improving past roughly 64–80 SMs and full allocation during co-running sharply inflates short-reply latency — remains true under the live workload; if real traffic changes that scaling behavior, the SM-throttling mechanism could hurt instead of help.
What would settle it
Run the same three workloads and arrival rates on a GPU or model where shared-stage decode keeps getting faster well past the calibrated SM cap, with no early throughput saturation and no memory-bandwidth cliff. If bounding the shared stage to the cap then yields lower SLO attainment than allowing full allocation, the central throttling claim fails. A cheaper check: in a long-path sweep, verify that the controller's memory-activity pressure signal tracks measured achieved memory bandwidth; if they diverge during co-running, the controller is steering by a stale proxy.
If this is right
- Short-path requests keep their first-response SLO even when a burst of speech or image requests is queued; the tightest-SLO class stops being the first casualty.
- SLO attainment gains appear on two GPU families with different SM counts and memory bandwidths, so the mechanism is not an artifact of one hardware profile.
- Shared-stage token throughput is essentially preserved (p50 TPOT changes at most about 0.5 ms/token, p95 at most about 1 ms/token), so the latency gains are not bought by throttling decode.
- The policy stacks on any base serving runtime that exposes scheduling-step boundaries and a per-stage SM cap; the control loop costs under 1% throughput.
- The design generalizes across three downstream generation patterns — speech synthesis, audio-code/waveform generation, and image diffusion — covering the spectrum of current omni outputs.
Where Pith is reading between the lines
- A natural extension is to apply the temporal half — slack-aware path rotation and long-path admission caps — to disaggregated or multi-GPU omni serving, where the spatial SM split becomes less relevant but path admission still shapes downstream device load.
- The fixed number of long-path phases and the offline SM ladder are calibration choices; one could make both adaptive online, for instance inferring saturation from runtime TPOT-versus-SM observations instead of a one-time sweep.
- The memory-pressure proxy in the prototype is tied to one vendor's activity counters; the same ladder logic should port to other hardware via equivalent counters, which is testable on non-NVIDIA GPUs.
- The 5x SLO multiplier is a policy knob; under tighter multipliers the same feedback loop may need more aggressive path rotation, a regime the paper does not report.
Editorial analysis
A structured set of objections, weighed in public.
Referee Report
Summary. HorizonServe targets single-GPU serving of omni-models whose requests share an initial multimodal backbone and then diverge into short text-output paths or long speech/image-generation paths with heterogeneous first-response SLOs. The paper makes three observations (§3): heterogeneous latency regimes make shared-stage delay asymmetric across classes, long-path traffic collapses short-path goodput, and full shared-stage SM allocation under co-running downstream stages degrades short-request TTFT. It then presents a serving system that combines (i) offline profiling of per-class solo p95 latency and fixed-SM decode TPOT, (ii) a temporal scheduler with path rotation, slack protection, and a long-path admission cap (§4.3), and (iii) a spatial controller that maps a smoothed GPU memory-activity signal to a shared-stage SM cap via Eq. (1) (§4.4). The evaluation (§6) covers three omni-model pipelines (Qwen2.5-Omni, MiMo-Audio, BAGEL) on two GPUs, comparing against Vanilla, EDF, MPS, and EDF-MPS baselines. The paper claims up to 4.9× SLO-attainment improvement in arrival-rate sweeps and 7.0× under downstream-heavy traffic, with per-class p95 first-response latency reductions of 38.4–63.7%, while preserving shared-stage TPOT and adding <1% throughput overhead.
Significance. If validated, HorizonServe addresses a genuinely new scheduling problem: the feedback path from output-path admission to downstream GPU pressure and back to shared-stage SM allocation. The paper identifies a real workload pattern in recent omni-model architectures and proposes a coherent joint temporal–spatial control loop. Strengths include: implementation on top of vLLM-Omni, evaluation across three distinct downstream-generation patterns and two GPU platforms, ablation of the two main mechanisms (§6.5), direct measurement of scheduling overhead (Table 4), and an honest statement in §6.4 that the hardware-signal trace is not a standalone performance comparison. The empirical claims are, however, supported by representative single runs without error bars, and the spatial controller’s key calibration is validated only by a correlation that is partly circular. These issues do not disprove the central idea, but they mean the quantitative contribution is not yet established at the level expected for a systems venue.
major comments (4)
- [§4.4, Eq. (1), §3.3, Fig. 4] The spatial controller is calibrated entirely from an isolated fixed-SM sweep: §4.2 chooses S_cap as the smallest SM count with near-best decode TPOT from Fig. 4(b), and Eq. (1) never lets the runtime cap exceed S_cap. Fig. 4(b) is measured with a fixed batch and a specific downstream stage, outside the mixed workloads of Fig. 8. Nothing in the paper shows that the TPOT saturation knee or the TTFT degradation curve is invariant to batch composition, KV-cache state, downstream generator type, or arrival rate. If the knee shifts, the fixed cap either over-throttles shared-stage throughput (adding queueing delay) or under-throttles (reproducing full-allocation contention). This is load-bearing because the paper’s stated contribution is the feedback loop itself; if S_cap is miscalibrated under the actual workload, SM throttling can actively reduce SLO attainment. I request a concrete robustn
- [§6.4] The 0.926 correlation between the smoothed memory signal and the selected SM cap is presented as validating the bandwidth proxy. This is circular: s*_shared is a deterministic monotone function of the smoothed pressure signal through Eq. (1), so a high correlation follows by construction and says nothing about whether the proxy or the cap is correct. The paragraph does acknowledge the figure is not a standalone performance comparison, but the correlation statement still overinterprets the trace. To validate the proxy, compare the PyNVML signal against an independently measured memory-bandwidth counter (e.g., GPU hardware performance counters) under the same traffic, or show that a controller driven by the proxy outperforms one driven by an oracle bandwidth signal. As written, the runtime evidence for the pressure-to-cap mapping is lacking.
- [§6.2 and §6.1] The main quantitative claims rest on single representative runs without error bars or confidence intervals. The paper says 'We observed consistent trends across repeated runs and report representative runs' but does not report the variance. In a systems evaluation, the 4.9× and 7.0× improvements (Figs. 8, and the per-class latency claims in §6.3) should be accompanied by repeated-run statistics, especially under Poisson arrivals where stochastic variability can be substantial. I request at least mean ± spread over a small number of seeds for the key stressed points, or a statement of why single runs are sufficient on this platform. This does not invalidate the qualitative direction, but it prevents the reader from assessing reliability of the specific improvement factors.
- [§6.1, baselines] The comparison set (Vanilla, EDF, MPS, EDF-MPS) is quite simple. EDF and MPS are primitives, not state-of-the-art serving policies. The paper argues that existing VLM/LMM and GPU-sharing systems do not handle omni output paths, which is fair, but a more informative baseline would combine a modern scheduling policy (e.g., priority-aware or shortest-remaining-time admission within vLLM-Omni) with a modern spatial-sharing mechanism (e.g., MIG if available, or a fixed-SM split chosen by an offline optimizer). At minimum, an ablation that separates path rotation from SM throttling is present (§6.5), but the absence of any competitive serving baseline makes the claimed gains relative only to a weak default. I would like to see at least one stronger baseline or a discussion of why such baselines cannot be adapted without already adopting HorizonServe’s feedback structure.
minor comments (4)
- [§6.1, Fig. 8] Inconsistent naming: the figure legend says 'EDF+MPS' while the text and §6.2 use 'EDF-MPS'. Please unify.
- [§4.2] The definition of S_cap is split between §4.2 and §4.4; Eq. (1) uses S_cap, S_min, and S_aggr, but the reader must infer the relationship S_aggr > S_cap > S_min from the text. A formal definition or a small table of the ladder would improve readability.
- [§6.4, Fig. 10] Figure 10(c) y-axis label 'Stage0 SM cap (%)' and the referenced values (63, 100) are not clearly tied to the SM ladder levels. Please clarify whether the percentage is of total SMs and how ladder levels are converted.
- [§6.1] The SLO multiplier is set to 5× for all classes, which is a reasonable and explicitly stated choice. However, the paper should state whether results are sensitive to this multiplier; a single value leaves the reader unsure whether the observed gains are specific to the chosen SLO tightness.
Circularity Check
Headline SLO/latency results are empirical and independent; only the Section 6.4 correlation is self-referential, and the paper itself disclaims it as standalone.
specific steps
-
self definitional
[Section 6.4 (Figure 10) vs. Section 4.4 Eq. (1)]
"Across this run, the correlation between the smoothed memory signal and the selected cap is0.926, showing that the controller tracks the pressure signal while staying within the cap range motivated by Figure 4."
Eq. (1) defines the selected cap s*_shared(t) as snap_S(S_min + rho(t)(S_cap - S_min)) when downstream is active, where rho(t) is the clamped normalized EWMA of the same B_hat(t) signal. Hence the 'smoothed memory signal' and the 'selected cap' are input and deterministic monotone transform of input by construction; a high correlation between them is baked into the control law and cannot independently validate the PyNVML pressure proxy. The paper explicitly says this is not a standalone bandwidth measurement and it is not used to derive the main SLO-improvement claims, so the circularity is minor and non-load-bearing.
full rationale
HorizonServe's central contributions are supported by direct measurements: SLO attainment (Fig. 8), per-class p95 latency (Fig. 9), TPOT (Table 3), and ablations (Fig. 11) compare HorizonServe against Vanilla/EDF/MPS/EDF-MPS in the same runtime, so the headline 4.9x/7.0x and 38.4-63.7% numbers are empirical, not derived from fitted parameters. The offline S_cap and SM-ladder calibration (Sections 3.3, 4.2) is standard isolated profiling, not fitting to the test workload, and the SM-throttling equation bounds the cap rather than encoding the outcome. The paper's self-citation ([74]) appears only in a related-work enumeration and is not load-bearing. The one genuinely self-referential passage is the 0.926 correlation in Section 6.4, which is between the controller's input and a deterministic function of that input by Eq. (1); the paper itself cautions that it is not a standalone bandwidth measurement. Because the main results do not rest on this correlation, the overall circularity is minor.

Omni models unify text, speech, image, and multimodal reasoning in a single serving backend, but this unified deployment exposes a new scheduling problem. Requests with different output modalities may share an initial multimodal backbone and then diverge into downstream generation stages, creating heterogeneous first-response metrics and service-level objective (SLO) targets on the same GPU. Existing large language model (LLM) and multimodal serving systems mainly optimize token progress or input-side processing, and they do not jointly control temporal sharing in the shared stage and spatial sharing among co-running stages. This paper presents HorizonServe, a single-GPU omni-model serving system that coordinates request admission and GPU allocation under heterogeneous SLOs. HorizonServe profiles per-class first-response latency, protects requests with limited slack, rotates shared-stage opportunities across execution paths, and throttles the shared-stage streaming multiprocessor (SM) allocation when downstream stages are active. Across three omni-model workloads and two GPU platforms, HorizonServe improves SLO attainment by up to 4.9$\times$ in arrival-rate sweeps and 7.0$\times$ under downstream-heavy traffic, and reduces per-class first-response latency by 38.4--63.7\%.
