UnverifiedThe prefill stage of LLM inference processes all input tokens in parallel and generates the initial KV Cache; it is a compute-intensive operation and the direct determinant of TTFT.74% similarUnverifiedThe prefill stage is compute-bound, requiring all input tokens to be processed at once to generate the KV Cache, with attention matrix computation complexity of O(n²).72% similarVerifiedLLM 推理分为预填充阶段（Prefill，计算密集型）和解码阶段（Decode，内存带宽密集型）两个阶段70% similarUnverified大语言模型的内存占用由模型参数量、精度格式和推理过程中产生的KV Cache三部分共同决定70% similarVerified推测解码（Speculative Decoding）是目前最主流的大模型推理加速路径之一，使用小型草稿模型快速生成候选token再由主模型并行验证68% similar
