SpecInfer: Accelerating Generative Large Language Model Serving with Speculative Inference and Token Tree Verification
Creators: name: Cheng, Xinhao
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2024
Subjects: Computer Engineering

description:  The high computational and memory requirements of generative large language models (LLMs) make it challenging to serve them quickly and cheaply. This paper introduces SpecInfer, an LLM serving system that accelerates generative LLM inference with speculative inference and token tree verification. A key insight behind SpecInfer is to combine various collectively boost-tuned small language models to jointly predict the LLM’s outputs; the predictions are organized as a token tree, whose nodes each represent a candidate token sequence. The correctness of all candidate token sequences represented by a token tree is verified against the LLM in parallel using a novel tree- based parallel decoding mechanism. SpecInfer uses an LLM as a token tree verifier instead of an incremental decoder, which significantly reduces the end-to-end latency and computational requirement for serving generative LLMs while provably preserving model quality. Our evaluation shows that SpecInfer outperforms existing LLM serving systems by 1.3-2.4x for distributed LLM inference and by 2.6-3.5x for offloading- based LLM inference, while preserving the same generative performance.

description: The present study was concerned with the preparation of potato flour with various treatments and to formulate the chapatti and biscuit incorporating potato flours were prepared by treating the raw potato slices as blanched, blanched plus potassium meta-bisulphite (KMS) treatment and one as control. Various substitution levels from 15 % to 30 % of potato flour was used in the formulations of chapatti and biscuit in conjunction with wheat flour. Chapatti and biscuit prepared with either blanched or blanched plus KMS treated sample of potato flour had very good physical and baking quality. And chapatti prepared with 20% potato flour and biscuit containing 25 % had the most suitable baking properties among other proportions. The statistical analysis of sensory evaluation data indicated that the baked products prepared with potato flour from blanched plus KMS-treated samples ranked very well and were more acceptable than those made from blanched sample.

description: There is a well-known stellar parameter discrepancy for late K and M dwarfs, in that the observed radii and temperatures are often respectively larger and cooler than predicted by theory by several percent. In an on-going effort to elucidate this issue, we examine the double-lined Kepler eclipsing binary star system KIC 8736245. We supplement the near-continuous 4-year Kepler light curve with ground-based multicolor photometry from Mount Laguna Observatory and spectroscopy from the Hobby-Eberly Telescope. The binary has an edge-on, circular 5.07 day orbit with stellar masses equal to $0.987\pm0.009$ and $0.782\pm0.009\,\text{M}_\odot$ and radii of $1.311 \pm 0.006$ and $0.804 \pm 0.004\,\text{R}_\odot$, respectively, and an estimated age of 7-9 Gyr. We find that the stellar radii are consistent with theoretical models within the uncertainties, whereas the temperature of the secondary star is $\sim$6% cooler than predicted. An important aspect of this work is that the uncertainties derived from a single epoch (individual night of observations) underestimates the overall system parameter uncertainties due to the effect of the 1-4% fluctuations caused by stellar activity. Our error estimates come from the spread in parameters measured at 8 epochs. From the periodicities in the light curve and from the eclipse times, we measure candidate spin periods to be approximately 4.98 and 5.87 days for the primary and secondary star. Surprisingly, these imply super- and sub-synchronous rotation compared to the orbital period. Thus KIC 8736245 serves as an interesting case study for the exchange of angular momentum and general stellar astrophysics as stars in binaries evolve off the main sequence.

description: An experiment was carried out with Barbodes gonionotus for 4 months (120 days) in the experimental ponds of size of 2.8 decimal each with the same stocking densities of 57 fish/dec. in all the treatments. Each pond was divided into two equal halves by synthetic net fixed with bamboo. Three treatments (T1, T2 and T3) each with two replicates were used. The fish were reared in only fertilized pond (T1), in fertilized and rice bran fed pond (T2) and only rice bran fed pond (T3). During the study period the water quality parameters such as temperature, transparency, water depth, dissolved oxygen, pH and plankton biomass in all treatments were within productive range. The observed growth parameters such as mean weight gain were 36.24 g, 65.85 g and 44.41 g, percent weight gain were 120.80%, 219.52% and 148.03%, the average daily gain were 1.28 g, 2.37 g and 1.64 g, the specific growth rate were 0.66%, 0.97% and 0.77%, in T1, T2 and T3 respectively. The gross total productions of Sharpunti were 844.64, 1292.85 and 930.36 kg/ha/120 days. The net productions were 462.49, 888.39 and 555.35 kg/ha/120 days in T1, T2 and T3 respectively. The gross and net total productions in T2 were highest compared to T1 and T3. Sharpunti showed highest growth performance in T2 when fine rice bran was used as feed and simultaneously the pond was fertilized.

description: In order to determine the reproductive characteristics of Liza parsia, a fish of commercial importance, the GSI, egg diameter, sex ratio and fecundity were examined in 331 specimens caught monthly for a period of ten months from September 2006 to June 2007. According to the GSI and egg diameter, the reproduction period of Liza parsia was determined to be in November to March with two peaks in the months of December and February. The maximum GSI values obtained for male and female were 1.49 and 14.71 respectively in the month of February. In December, the gonadosomatic index decreased in female (13.5) and in male (1.4). The average egg diameter of Liza parsia ranged from 0.35 to 0.50 mm. The sex ratio (Male:Female) of the investigated fish was1:1.21. Fecundity of the fish ranged from 18,950 to 1,71,210 during the period of study. Linear relationships between fecundity and total-length, bodyweight, gonad-length and gonad-weight were found and fecundity was more related to the ovary length (r=0.8172) and ovary weight (r=0.8552) than the fish length (r=0.7538) and fish weight (r=0.7592).

description: This study examined the socio-economic characteristics and agro-economic performance of cotton producers in the municipalities of Banikoara, Gogounou, and Kandi in Northern Benin. Using statistical analyses, including the Kruskal-Wallis and Wilcoxon tests, the study explored the relationships between the producers' characteristics (gender, education level, access to credit) and their agricultural practices.

The producers were predominantly male (96.3%) and married (92.8%), with strong participation in agricultural groups (100%). 62.3% benefited from agricultural credit, and 91% used plant protection equipment, although agroforestry was poorly adopted (5.3%). The annual income of the majority of households (54.6%) ranged from 100,000 to 1,000,000 FCFA.

The results showed a significant relationship between gender and equipment rental expenses, with men spending less than women. Additionally, education level significantly affected spending on organic fertilizers, with more educated producers spending less. Finally, access to agricultural credit was associated with lower crop losses and better cotton marketing.

These results highlighted the importance of socio-economic factors in the performance of cotton producers and offered insights to improve productivity and sustainability in this region.

description: We present an absorption line study of the physical and chemical properties of the Leo HI Ring and the Leo I Group as traced by 11 quasar sightlines spread over a 600 kpc X 800 kpc region. Using HST/COS G130/G160 archival observations as constraints, we couple cloud-by-cloud, multiphase, Bayesian ionization modeling with galaxy property information to determine the plausible origin of the absorbing gas along these sightlines. We search for absorption in the range 600 km/s - 1400 km/s consistent with the kinematics of the Leo Ring/Group. We find absorption plausibly associated with the Leo Ring towards five sightlines. Along three other sightlines, we find absorption likely to be associated with individual galaxies, intragroup gas, and/or large-scale filamentary structure. The absorption along these five sightlines is stronger in metal lines than expected from individual galaxies, indicative of multiple contributions, and of the complex kinematics of the region. We also identify three sightlines within a 7-degree X 6-degree field around the Leo Ring, along which we do not find any absorption. We find that the metallicities associated with the Leo Ring are generally high, with values between solar and several times solar. The inferred high metallicities are consistent with the origin of the ring as tidal debris from a major galaxy merger.

description: An experiment was conducted to determine the impact of fish and prawn culture on some physicochemical parameters of water, weeds, benthos, and rice yield under simultaneous method for a period of 5 months from July to November 2007. The experiment was comprised of five individual treatments having three replicates for each. The treatments were: rice combined with fish and regular urea fertilization (treatment І, T1), rice combined with prawn and regular urea fertilization (treatment ІI, T2), rice combined with fish and supplementary feeding (treatment ІII, T3), rice combined with prawn and supplementary feeding (treatment ІV T4) and treatment V (T5) was kept as control i.e., without fish and prawn. The physico-chemical parameters of water were monitored at weekly interval and were within the suitable range for fish culture. Among the treatments evaluated, the highest number of zoobenthos (worms, chironomids) was recorded in T5 without fish (control) and the lower number of the same was obtained in rice-fish culture treatments (T1 and T3) than the other treatments, indicating higher feeding preference of common carp and tilapia on zoobenthos. However, significant abundance of the weed biomass was observed in the rice-prawn farming treatments (T2 and T4) and also in control treatment. The net fish yield in T1, T2, T3 and T4 were 314.32±222.14 kg/ha, 30.98±40.86 kg/ha, 440.14±79.81 kg/ha and 81.92±62.83 kg/ha, respectively. The highest yield was recorded in T3 than the rest of the treatments. The yield was significantly higher in rice-fish treatments than those in the rice-prawn plots. Based on the results of the study, it can be suggested that the treatments with fish may be recommended for dissemination to rural farmers considering higher yields and economic benefits.

description: Statistical modeling is a key element in many scientific fields and especially in High-Energy Physics (HEP) analysis. The standard framework to perform this task in HEP is the C++ ROOT/RooFit toolkit; with Python bindings that are only loosely integrated into the scientific Python ecosystem. In this paper, zfit, a new alternative to RooFit written in pure Python, is presented. Most of all, zfit provides a well defined high-level API and workflow for advanced model building and fitting, together with an implementation on top of TensorFlow, allowing a transparent usage of CPUs and GPUs. It is designed to be extendable in a very simple fashion, allowing the usage of cutting-edge developments from the scientific Python ecosystem in a transparent way. The main features of zfit are introduced, and its extension to data analysis, especially in the context of HEP experiments, is discussed.

description: Spectral-timing techniques have proven valuable in studying the interplay between the X-ray corona and the accretion disc in variable active galactic nuclei (AGN). Under certain conditions, photo-ionized outflows emerging from central AGN regions also play a role in the observable spectral-timing properties of the nuclear components. The variable ionizing flux causes the intervening gas to ionize or recombine, resulting in a time-dependent absorption spectrum. Understanding the spectral-timing properties of these outflows is critical for the determination of their role in the AGN environment, but also the correct interpretation of timing signatures of other AGN components. In this paper, we test the capabilities of the Athena X-IFU instrument in studying the spectral and spectral-timing properties of a black hole system displaying a variable outflow. We take the narrow-line Seyfert 1 IRAS 13224-3809 as a test case. Our findings show that while the non-linear response of the absorbing medium can result in complex behaviour of time lags, the resulting decrease in the coherence can be used to constrain gas density and distance to the central source. Ultimately, modelling the coherence spectra of AGN outflows may constitute a valuable tool in studying the physical properties of the outflowing gas.

description: We present late-time images of the site of the peculiar jet-driven TypeIIn supernova SN2010jp, including HST images taken 2-5 yr post explosion and deep ground-based images over a similar time. These are used to characterise its unusually remote environment and to constrain the progenitor's initial mass and age. The position of SN2010jp is found to reside along a chain of diffuse starlight that is probably an outer spiral arm or tidal tail of the interacting galaxy pair NGC2207/IC2163. There is one bright HII region projected within 1 kpc, and there is faint extended Halpha emission immediately surrounding the continuum source at the position of SN2010jp, which has $M_{F555W} = -7.7 (\pm 0.2)$ mag. In principle, the lingering light could arise from late-time circumstellar material (CSM) interaction, an evolved supergiant, a host star cluster, or some combination of these. Steady flux over 3 yr and a lack of strong, spatially unresolved Halpha emission make ongoing CSM interaction unlikely. If an evolved supergiant dominates, its observed luminosity implies an initial mass of roughly 22 $M_{\odot}$ and an age older than roughly 8 Myr. If the source is a star cluster, then its colour and absolute magnitude imply an age of 8-13 Myr and a modest cluster initial mass of log($M/M_{\odot}$) = 3.6-3.8. Extended Halpha emission out to a radius of 30 pc reveals a faint evolved HII region, pointing to recent star formation with at least one late O-type star. Based on these various clues, we conclude that the progenitor of SN2010jp had a likely initial mass of 18-22 $M_{\odot}$.

description: Within an imaging instrument's field of view, there may be many observational targets of interest. Similarly, within a spectrograph's bandpass, there may be many emission lines of interest. The brightness of these targets and lines can be orders of magnitude different, which poses a challenge to instrument and mission design. A single exposure can saturate the bright emission and/or have a low signal to noise ratio (SNR) for faint emission. Traditional high dynamic range (HDR) techniques solve this problem by either combining multiple sequential exposures of varied duration or splitting the light to different sensors. These methods, however, can result in the loss of science capability, reduced observational efficiency, or increased complexity and cost. The simultaneous HDR method described in this paper avoids these issues by utilizing a special type of detector whose rows can be read independently to define zones that are then composited, resulting in areas with short or long exposure measured simultaneously. We demonstrate this technique for the sun, which is bright on disk and faint off disk. We emulated these conditions in the lab to validate the method. We built an instrument simulator to demonstrate the method for a realistic solar imager and input. We then calculated SNRs, finding a value of 45 for a faint coronal mass ejection (CME) and 200 for a bright CME, both at 3.5 $R_{\odot}$ -- meeting or far exceeding the international standard for digital photography that defines a SNR of 10 as acceptable and 40 as excellent. Future missions should consider this type of hardware and technique in their trade studies for instrument design.

description: We explore and develop the mathematics of the theory of entanglement measures. After a careful review and analysis of definitions, of preliminary results, and of connections between conditions on entanglement measures, we prove a sharpened version of a uniqueness theorem which gives necessary and sufficient conditions for an entanglement measure to coincide with the reduced von Neumann entropy on pure states. We also prove several versions of a theorem on extreme entanglement measures in the case of mixed states. We analyse properties of the asymptotic regularization of entanglement measures proving, for example, convexity for the entanglement cost and for the regularized relative entropy of entanglement.

description: 1SWASP J162545.15-043027.9 (WASP 1625-04) has been announced as one of EL CVn candidates showing total primary eclipses and ellipsoidal variations. This paper presents the absolute properties of the binary star, based on our high-resolution spectroscopy conducted from 2015 through 2020. From the spectral analysis, the radial velocities (RVs) for both components were obtained with the effective temperature $T_{\rm eff,1} = 8990 \pm 200$ K and the rotational rate $v_1\sin$$i=53\pm5$ km s$^{-1}$ for the more massive primary. The RV measurements were analyzed with archival WASP photometry. From the modelling we obtained: $M_1 = 1.745 \pm 0.013$ M$_\odot$, $M_2 = 0.187 \pm 0.002$ M$_\odot$, $R_1 = 1.626 \pm 0.008$ M$_\odot$, $R_2 = 0.290 \pm 0.003$ M$_\odot$, $L_1 = 15.5 \pm 1.4$ L$_\odot$, and $L_2 = 1.84 \pm 0.16$ L$_\odot$. In the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, WASP 1625-04 A lies on the zero-age main sequence and its companion accords well with the helium-core white dwarf models of 0.19 M$_\odot$ in the constant luminosity phase. Our improved results demonstrate that WASP 1625-04 is a typical EL CVn-type binary with a low mass ratio and $M_2$ combination in the thin-disk population and is the product of the stable, non-conservative mass transfer of the precursor binary.

Efficiency of isothermal active matter engines: Strong driving beats weak driving

description: We study microscopic engines that use a single active particle as their "working medium". Part of the energy required to drive the directed motion of the particle can be recovered as work, even at constant temperature. A wide class of synthetic active particles can be captured by schematically accounting for the chemical degrees of freedom that power the directed motion without having to resolve the exact microscopic mechanism. We derive analytical results for the quasi-static thermodynamic efficiency, i.e., the fraction of available chemical energy that can be recovered as mechanical work. While this efficiency is vanishingly small for colloidal particles, it increases as the dissipation is increased beyond the linear response regime and goes through a maximum at large propulsion speeds. Our results demonstrate that driving beyond the linear response regime has non-trivial consequences for the efficiency of active engines.

description: In noncommutative spaces, it is unknown whether the Pontrjagin class gives integer, as well as, the relation between the instanton number and Pontrjagin class is not clear. Here we define ``Instanton number'' by the size of $B_α$ in the ADHM construction. We show the analytical derivation of the noncommuatative U(1) instanton number as an integral of Pontrjagin class (instanton charge) with the Fock space representation. Our approach is for the arbitrary converge noncommutative U(1) instanton solution, and is based on the anti-self-dual (ASD) equation itself. We give the Stokes' theorem for the number operator representation. The Stokes' theorem on the noncommutative space shows that instanton charge is given by some boundary sum. Using the ASD conditions, we conclude that the instanton charge is equivalent to the instanton number.

description: Additional ethical claims were tested with mock organic egg labels in five EU countries. The attitudes towards the advertising labels were assessed by multiple copy testing measures. A total of 156 individual responses were analysed. The study confirms the difficulty of conducting advertising research in a multicultural framework, and shows that additional local/ regional claims can reinforce the appeal of organic products.

description: Results from a comprehensive new analysis on the excitation spectrum of the QCD string are presented. A rapid onset of string formation is observed in the spectrum on a length scale of 2 fm, with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The crossover from the short distance spectrum towards string excitations and an observed fine structure in the 1--3 fm range are related to effective string theory. The deficiencies of the Nambu-Goto bosonic string model in describing the observed spectrum are briefly discussed.

Tidal effects in the equations of motion of compact binary systems to next-to-next-to-leading post-Newtonian order

description: As a first step in the computation of the orbital phase evolution of spinless compact binaries including tidal effects up to the next-to-next-to-leading (NNL) order, we obtain the equations of motion of those systems and the associated conserved integrals in harmonic coordinates. The internal structure and finite size effects of the compact objects are described by means of an effective Fokker-type action. Our results, complete to the NNL order, correspond to the second-post-Newtonian (2PN) approximation beyond the leading tidal effect itself, already occurring at the 5PN order. They are parametrized by three polarizability (or deformability) coefficients describing the mass quadrupolar, mass octupolar and current quadrupolar deformations of the objects through tidal interactions. Up to the next-to-leading (NL) order, we recover previous results in the literature; up to the NNL order for quasi-circular orbits, we confirm the known tidal effects in the (PN re-expansion of the) effective-one-body (EOB) Hamiltonian. In a future work, we shall derive the tidal contributions to the gravitational-wave flux up to the NNL order, which is the second step required to find the orbital phase evolution.

Resistivity testing of palladium dilution limits in CoPd alloys for hydrogen storage

description: Palladium satisfies most of the requirements for an effective hydrogen storage material with two major drawbacks: it has a relatively low gravimetric hydrogen density and is prohibitively expensive for large-scale applications. Pd-based alloys should be considered as possible alternatives to a pure Pd. The question is how much one can dilute the Pd concentration in a variety of candidate materials while preserving hydrogen absorption capability. We demonstrate that the resistivity measurements of thin-film alloy samples can be used for a qualitative high-throughput screening and study of the hydrogen-absorbing properties over the entire range of palladium concentrations. Contrary to palladium-rich alloys where additional hydrogen scattering indicates a degree of hydrogen content, the diluted alloy films respond by a decrease of resistance due to their thickness expansion. Evidence of significant hydrogen absorption was found in thin CoPd films diluted to just 20% of Pd.
Matching Rota-Baxter algebras, matching dendriform algebras and matching pre-Lie algebras

description: We introduce the notion of a matching Rota-Baxter algebra motivated by the recent work on multiple pre-Lie algebras arising from the study of algebraic renormalization of regularity structures~[10,18]. This notion is also related to iterated integrals with multiple kernels and solutions of the associative polarized Yang-Baxter equation. Generalizing the natural connection of Rota-Baxter algebras with dendriform algebras to matching Rota-Baxter algebras , we obtain the notion of matching dendriform algebras. As in the classical case of one operation, matching Rota-Baxter algebras and matching dendriform algebras are related to matching pre-Lie algebras which coincide with the aforementioned multiple pre-Lie algebras. More general notions and results on matching tridendriform algebras and matching PostLie algebras are also obtained.

description: The objective of this paper is to offer qualitative and quantitative insights on the perceptions of the actors in the EU food supply chain on a broad spectrum of topics that characterise its operation and conduct, highlighting also potential differences in North and South European countries. Issues explored pertained to actors’ relations with up- and downstream partners, the future dynamic and challenges of the food sector, the influence of policy intervention and attitudes towards genetically modified products (GMPs) and organic production. For this purpose, a total of 34 food supply chain actors in Denmark and Greece were interviewed using a semi-structured interview process. A comparative analysis of the interviews pinpointed many similarities in the behaviour and the perceptions of the Greek and Danish farmers, cooperatives, processors and retailers alike. Still, while it is evident that companies and farmers of both countries struggle with a lot of the same problems, several differences in perceptions are also identified. These refer mainly to attitudes towards mergers and acquisitions, innovations, GMPs and the effects and limitations of EU policy intervention.

description: I show that the potential $$V(x,m) = \big [\frac{b^2}{4}-m(1-m)a(a+1) \big ]\frac{\sn^2 (x,m)}{\dn^2 (x,m)} -b(a+{1/2}) \frac{\cn (x,m)}{\dn^2 (x,m)}$$ constitutes a QES band-structure problem in one dimension. In particular, I show that for any positive integral or half-integral $a$, $2a+1$ band edge eigenvalues and eigenfunctions can be obtained analytically. In the limit of m going to 0 or 1, I recover the well known results for the QES double sine-Gordon or double sinh-Gordon equations respectively. As a by product, I also obtain the boundstate eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the potential $$V(x) = \big [\frac{β^2}{4}-a(a+1) \big ] \sech^2 x +β(a+{1/2})\sech x\tanh x$$ in case $a$ is any positive integer or half-integer.
