LMCache optimizes the speed of reasoning for large language models through key-value cache reuse techniques. The specific solution is as follows:
- Installing LMCache: Follow the official documentation to install and ensure environment compatibility (Linux+Python3.10+CUDA12.1)
- Configuring vLLM Integration: Install the latest version of vLLM and set KVTransferConfig to enable LMCacheConnector
- Adjusting Cache Parameters: Control of cache block size (LMCACHE_CHUNK_SIZE) and storage backend (LMCACHE_LOCAL_CPU) via environment variables
- Monitor optimization results: Check prefiller.log, decoder.log and other log files to analyze performance improvement
According to official tests, this approach achieves 3-10x inference latency optimization and is particularly suitable for long context scenarios.
