HPE puts storage to work on AI’s expensive memory problem
By holding inference state that would otherwise be evicted from GPU memory, HPE's solution achieved up to 20x faster time to first token and 17x higher throughput in tests with NVIDIA H200 GPUs. This approach reduces the need for GPUs to repeatedly recalculate the same context in agentic workflows.
Key points
- HPE Alletra Storage MP X10000 offloads KV cache to reduce GPU workload.
- Tests showed up to 20x faster time to first token.
- The solution improves AI economics by reducing repeat processing in agentic workflows.
