Record completeness
Claims
experimental results show that compared to the state-of-the-art solution vLLM, FastServe improves the throughput by up to 31.4x and 17.9x under the same average and tail latency requirements, respectively.
That token-level preemption and the skip-join MLFQ assignment based on input length incur low enough overhead to deliver the reported gains without hidden costs in real workloads.
FastServe adds token-level preemption and a skip-join MLFQ scheduler to LLM serving, delivering up to 31.4x higher throughput than vLLM at equivalent average and tail latency.
