Disaggregation also enables independent scaling and optimization of each phase. With separate nodes, each phase can be tuned independently: different parallelism strategies, different batch sizes, and different memory allocation ratios. The ratio of prefill to decode nodes can also be matched to the workload’s input-output length ratio. For instance, prefill-dominated workloads (long input, short output e.g., summarization, RAG, agentic coding with large context windows) allocate more prefill instances. Decode-dominated workloads (short input, long output e.g., chain-of-thought reasoning, long-form generation) allocate more decode instances. Workloads with high cache hit rates also tend toward more decode, since reused KV cache entries from shared system prompts or multi-turn conversation history skip prefill entirely.

Evidence

For a model like DeepSeek R1 with 61 layers and FP8 KV cache, an 8192-token prefill produces roughly 500MB of KV data that must cross the network, adding directly to TTFT

② Atomic Claim

以 61 layers、FP8 KV cacheDeepSeek R1 為例,8192-token prefill 會產生約 500MB KV data,需要跨網路傳輸,因此直接增加 TTFT
