UnverifiedMemory bandwidth, rather than compute (FLOPS), is the core bottleneck determining local LLM inference speed, because generating each token requires reading nearly all model weights from memory into the compute units78% similarVerifiedThe Prefill stage of LLM inference is compute-intensive with GPU utilization close to 100%, while the Decode stage is memory-bandwidth-intensive with the bottleneck being HBM VRAM bandwidth.75% similarUnverifiedBandwidth-bound means data transfer speed cannot keep up with computation speed, which is common in scenarios with large weights but low compute volume (such as single-step LLM decoding), and quantization to compress weight size is an effective approach.73% similarUnverified稀疏激活技术通过条件计算机制仅激活与当前输入最相关的参数子集，可减少从HBM加载的权重数据量，缓解内存墙带宽瓶颈73% similar
