Fine-grained MoE Load Balancing with Linear Programming

Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) has emerged as a promising approach to scale up deep learning models due to its significant reduction in computational resources. However, the dynamic nature of MoE leads to load imbalance among experts, severely impacting training efficiency. While previous research has attempted to address the load balancing challenge, existing solutions either compromise model accuracy or introduce additional system overhead. As a result, they fail to achieve fine-grained load balancing, which is crucial to optimizing training efficiency. We propose a novel parallelization strategy to achieve fine-grained load balancing in MoE systems. Our system is capable of achieving optimal load balancing in every micro-batch through efficient token scheduling across GPUs. Our experimental results demonstrate that MicroMoE improves the end-to-end training throughput by up to 47.6% compared with the state-of-the-art system, and almost consistently achieves optimal load balance among GPUs.

Not All Tokens Are Worth Caching: Learning Semantic-Aware Eviction for LLM Prefix Caches

Prefix caching is a key optimization in Large Language Model (LLM) serving, reusing attention Key-Value (KV) states across requests with shared prompt prefixes to reduce expensive prefill computation. However, its benefit depends critically on the eviction policy as GPU memory is scarce, and existing policies such as LRU largely treat cached blocks uniformly. This view ignores a fundamental property of LLM prompts: not all tokens are equally worth caching. We show that different token types within a prompt, including system prompts, user queries, tool outputs, model responses, and chain-of-thought reasoning, exhibit up to 756x variation in reuse rates, yet no existing eviction policy exploits this signal. In this paper, we present SAECache (Semantic-Adaptive Eviction for prefix caches), a semantic-adaptive prefix cache eviction policy that addresses this gap through three innovations: (1) a multi-queue architecture that routes KV blocks to task-specific queues with tailored priority metrics, capturing both session reuse in multi-turn requests and structural reuse in templated single-turn requests; (2) a semantic-aware token weighting mechanism that learns the reuse value of different token types online through eviction feedback; and (3) a fully adaptive online learning schema for all parameter updates, including log-normal timing parameters, position decay power, queue weights, and meta-parameters, which eliminates manual tuning and enables automatic adaptation to deployment-specific workload characteristics. Through extensive evaluation across heterogeneous workloads, we demonstrate that SAECache achieves 1.4x-2.7x TTFT improvement over production-style baselines, while fixed-parameter alternatives can degrade by up to 2.7x under workload mismatch -- a failure mode our adaptive approach avoids entirely.

Efficient Data-Plane Memory Scheduling for In-Network Aggregation

As the scale of distributed training grows, communication becomes a bottleneck. To accelerate the communication, recent works introduce In-Network Aggregation (INA), which moves the gradients summation into network middle-boxes, e.g., programmable switches to reduce the traffic volume. However, switch memory is scarce compared to the volume of gradients transmitted in distributed training. Although literature applies methods like pool-based streaming or dynamic sharing to tackle the mismatch, switch memory is still a potential performance bottleneck. Furthermore, we observe the under-utilization of switch memory due to the synchronization requirement for aggregator deallocation in recent works. To improve the switch memory utilization, we propose ESA, an $\underline{E}$fficient Switch Memory $\underline{S}$cheduler for In-Network $\underline{A}$ggregation. At its cores, ESA enforces the preemptive aggregator allocation primitive and introduces priority scheduling at the data-plane, which improves the switch memory utilization and average job completion time (JCT). Experiments show that ESA can improve the average JCT by up to $1.35\times$.
