① SA Source

Context Before

The Cost/Perf per TCO vs Interactivity/End-to-End Latency curve mostly follows the Throughput vs Interactivity/End-to-End Latency Curve: More tokens/hour leads to a lower cost per token as fixed $/hour costs are amortized over more tokens produced.

Prefill and Decode Phases

Evidence

Each forward pass loads the entire KV cache for a sequence from HBM, while only performing the computation for a single token, making decode memory (bandwidth) intensive

Context After

When prefill and decode performed on the same engine, prefill constantly disrupts decode batches leading to worse overall performance.

Disaggregated Prefill

② Atomic Claim

每次 forward pass 都必須從 HBM 載入整段 sequence 的 KV cache,但只計算一個 token,因此 decode 屬於記憶體頻寬密集型工作。

⑤ Human Review

請在 Properties 逐項確認:

  • 原文 → Atomic Claim 是否忠實
  • Atomic Claim → Semantic Frame 是否忠實
  • Canonical Entity mapping 是否正確
  • Epistemic mode 是否保留原文語氣
  • 最後選擇 review_action
