EPD-Serve: A Flexible Multimodal EPD Disaggregation Inference Serving System On Ascend

With the widespread adoption of large multimodal models, efficient inference across text, image, audio, and video modalities has become critical. However, existing multimodal inference systems typically employ monolithic architectures that tightly couple the Encode, Prefill, and Decode stages on homogeneous hardware, neglecting the heterogeneous computational characteristics of each stage. This design leads to inefficient resource utilization and limited system throughput. To address these issues, we propose EPD-Serve, a stage-level disaggregated inference serving system for multimodal models. EPD-Serve decouples the inference pipeline into independent Encode, Prefill, and Decode stages, enabling logical isolation and flexible co-located deployment through dynamic orchestration. Leveraging the Ascend interconnect topology, EPD-Serve introduces asynchronous feature prefetching between Encode and Prefill stages and a hierarchical grouped KV cache transmission mechanism between Prefill and Decode stages to improve cross-node communication efficiency. In addition, EPD-Serve incorporates multi-route scheduling, instance-level load balancing, and multi-stage hardware co-location with spatial multiplexing to better support diverse multimodal workloads. Comprehensive experiments on multimodal understanding models demonstrate that, under high-concurrency scenarios, EPD-Serve improves end-to-end throughput by 57.37-69.48% compared to PD-disaggregated deployment, while satisfying strict SLO constraints, including TTFT below 2000 ms and TPOT below 50 ms. These results highlight the effectiveness of stage-level disaggregation for optimizing multimodal large model inference systems.

RelayGR: Scaling Long-Sequence Generative Recommendation via Cross-Stage Relay-Race Inference

Real-time recommender systems execute multi-stage cascades (retrieval, pre-processing, fine-grained ranking) under strict tail-latency SLOs, leaving only tens of milliseconds for ranking. Generative recommendation (GR) models can improve quality by consuming long user-behavior sequences, but in production their online sequence length is tightly capped by the ranking-stage P99 budget. We observe that the majority of GR tokens encode user behaviors that are independent of the item candidates, suggesting an opportunity to pre-infer a user-behavior prefix once and reuse it during ranking rather than recomputing it on the critical path. Realizing this idea at industrial scale is non-trivial: the prefix cache must survive across multiple pipeline stages before the final ranking instance is determined, the user population implies cache footprints far beyond a single device, and indiscriminate pre-inference would overload shared resources under high QPS. We present RelayGR, a production system that enables in-HBM relay-race inference for GR. RelayGR selectively pre-infers long-term user prefixes, keeps their KV caches resident in HBM over the request lifecycle, and ensures the subsequent ranking can consume them without remote fetches. RelayGR combines three techniques: 1) a sequence-aware trigger that admits only at-risk requests under a bounded cache footprint and pre-inference load, 2) an affinity-aware router that co-locates cache production and consumption by routing both the auxiliary pre-infer signal and the ranking request to the same instance, and 3) a memory-aware expander that uses server-local DRAM to capture short-term cross-request reuse while avoiding redundant reloads. We implement RelayGR on Huawei Ascend NPUs and evaluate it with real queries. Under a fixed P99 SLO, RelayGR supports up to 1.5$\times$ longer sequences and improves SLO-compliant throughput by up to 3.6$\times$.

TurboGR: An Accelerated Training System for Large-Scale Generative Recommendation

Generative recommendation (GR) has emerged as a promising paradigm that replaces fragmented, scenario-specific architectures with unified Transformer-based models, exhibiting scaling-law behavior where recommendation quality improves systematically with increased model capacity and training data. However, deploying GR at scale on Ascend NPUs faces fundamental system-level challenges. These challenges are further exacerbated on Ascend NPUs due to the absence of high-performance implementations for jagged operators and the architectural mismatch between irregular sparse primitives and NPU's dense-computation-optimized design. In this paper, we present \model, an Ascend-affinity training system for generative recommendation that systematically addresses these bottlenecks through three core innovations: (i) Ascend-affinity jagged acceleration, including fusion operators that eliminate padding redundancy and dynamic load balancing that reduces inter-device imbalance from 47\% to 2.4\%; (ii) distributed communication optimization, comprising hierarchical sparse parallelism, semi-asynchronous training with proven convergence guarantees, and fine-grained pipeline orchestration that sustains 94\% NPU utilization; and (iii) negative sampling optimization via asynchronous offloading, jaggedness-aware FP16 quantization, and intra-batch logit sharing that expand the effective negative space without additional embedding lookups. Evaluated on the KuaiRand-27K dataset, \model supports training at up to 0.2B parameters and achieves 54.71\% MFU with near-linear scalability (0.97).

A unified theory of information transfer and causal relation

Information transfer between coupled stochastic dynamics, measured by transfer entropy and information flow, is suggested as a physical process underlying the causal relation of systems. While information transfer analysis has booming applications in both science and engineering fields, critical mysteries about its foundations remain unsolved. Fundamental yet difficult questions concern how information transfer and causal relation originate, what they depend on, how they differ from each other, and if they are created by a unified and general quantity. These questions essentially determine the validity of causal relation measurement via information transfer. Here we pursue to lay a complete theoretical basis of information transfer and causal relation. Beyond the well-known relations between these concepts that conditionally hold, we demonstrate that information transfer and causal relation universally originate from specific information synergy and redundancy phenomena characterized by high-order mutual information. More importantly, our theory analytically explains the mechanisms for information transfer and causal relation to originate, vanish, and differ from each other. Moreover, our theory naturally defines the effect sizes of information transfer and causal relation based on high-dimensional coupling events. These results may provide a unified view of information, synergy, and causal relation to bridge Pearl's causal inference theory in computer science and information transfer analysis in physics.

TimeReplayer: Unlocking the Potential of Event Cameras for Video Interpolation

Recording fast motion in a high FPS (frame-per-second) requires expensive high-speed cameras. As an alternative, interpolating low-FPS videos from commodity cameras has attracted significant attention. If only low-FPS videos are available, motion assumptions (linear or quadratic) are necessary to infer intermediate frames, which fail to model complex motions. Event camera, a new camera with pixels producing events of brightness change at the temporal resolution of $μs$ $(10^{-6}$ second $)$, is a game-changing device to enable video interpolation at the presence of arbitrarily complex motion. Since event camera is a novel sensor, its potential has not been fulfilled due to the lack of processing algorithms. The pioneering work Time Lens introduced event cameras to video interpolation by designing optical devices to collect a large amount of paired training data of high-speed frames and events, which is too costly to scale. To fully unlock the potential of event cameras, this paper proposes a novel TimeReplayer algorithm to interpolate videos captured by commodity cameras with events. It is trained in an unsupervised cycle-consistent style, canceling the necessity of high-speed training data and bringing the additional ability of video extrapolation. Its state-of-the-art results and demo videos in supplementary reveal the promising future of event-based vision.
