Generation Meets Verification: Accelerating Large Language Model Inference with Smart Parallel Auto-Correct Decoding (2024.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing autoregressive models generate tokens sequentially and are memory-bound, resulting in a memory-based inference stage that is memory-limited. |
| Approach: | They propose an approach to accelerate the inference speed of large language models with billions of parameters by integrating semi-autoregressive inference and speculative decoding capabilities. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach has demonstrated inference speedups of 2.7x-4.0x on humanEval-X while maintaining output quality. |
