<h1>KV Cache Manager<a class="headerlink" href="#kv-cache-manager" title="Link to this heading">#</a></h1>
|
||
<p>In Transformer-based models, the KV (Key-Value) Cache is a mechanism used to optimize decoding efficiency, particularly during autoregressive generation tasks.
|
||
Since KV Cache requires memory to store, it is also an important resource.
|
||
In TensorRT LLM, KV Cache is managed by the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">KVCacheManager</span></code>.</p>
|
||
<p>For details of the TensorRT LLM <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">KVCacheManager</span></code> implementation see <a class="reference internal" href="#../advanced/kv-cache-management.md"><span class="xref myst">KV Cache Management</span></a>.</p>

<h2>KV Cache Manager Introduction<a class="headerlink" href="#kv-cache-manager-introduction" title="Link to this heading">#</a></h2>
|
||
<p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">KVCacheManager</span></code> is a type of resource manager, inheriting from <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">BaseResourceManager</span></code>.
|
||
Therefore, it implements the interfaces declared by <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">BaseResourceManager</span></code>.</p>
|
||
<p>Note: As the project evolves, these interfaces may change.</p>
|
||
</section>
|
||
<section id="interfaces">
|
||
<h2>Interfaces<a class="headerlink" href="#interfaces" title="Link to this heading">#</a></h2>
|
||
<p>The interfaces from <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">BaseResourceManager</span></code> include:</p>
|
||
<ul class="simple">
|
||
<li><p><strong>prepare_resources</strong>: Called at each step before model forward in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">PyExecutor</span></code> for the current batch.
|
||
In <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">KVCacheManager</span></code>, this involves allocating KV Cache memory. This allocation varies depending on the request type.
|
||
For requests entering the context phase for the first time, KV Cache needs to be allocated for the entire context.
|
||
For requests already in the generation phase, KV Cache is allocated for the upcoming step.
|
||
If KV Cache is organized in blocks and free space is available within a block, actual allocation may not occur.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><strong>update_resources</strong>: Called at the end of each step for the current batch to update allocated resources.
|
||
For KV Cache, updates may not be necessary, so this function currently performs no operations.
|
||
If KV Cache reuse is supported in Python, updates like KV Cache Radix Tree management occurs here.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><strong>free_resources</strong>: Called when a request finishes to free the resources allocated for that request.
|
||
For KV Cache, if reuse is not enabled, the KV Cache memory used by the request should be recycled.
|
||
In the C++ binding implementation, this might involve calling the binding’s <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">remove_sequence</span></code> method to free the KV Cache memory related to that request.</p></li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>There are also two interfaces designed for <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CapacityScheduler</span></code>:</p>
|
||
<ul class="simple">
|
||
<li><p><strong>get_max_resource_count</strong>: Queries the maximum number of resources available. For <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">KVCacheManager</span></code>, this is usually the maximum number of KV Cache blocks.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><strong>get_needed_resource_to_completion</strong>: Computes the resources needed for a single request to complete.
|
||
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CapacityScheduler</span></code> uses this to sum up the total resources needed and determine if new requests can be accommodated.</p></li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>In addition to the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">BaseResourceManager</span></code> interfaces, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">KVCacheManager</span></code> has interfaces related to the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">ModelEngine</span></code> in use.
|
||
For <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">PyTorchModelEngine</span></code>, common interfaces include:</p>
|
||
<ul class="simple">
|
||
<li><p><strong>get_batch_cache_indices</strong>: Takes a list of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">LlmRequest</span></code> and returns a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Dict[List[int]]</span></code>, indicating the block IDs for each request.</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><strong>get_buffers</strong>: Returns the buffer of the KV Cache pool for a given layer, used by the attention backend. The shape might be [<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">num_blocks</span></code>, 2, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">num_tokens_per_block</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">num_kv_heads</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">head_dim</span></code>].</p></li>
|
||
<li><p><strong>get_num_free_blocks</strong>: Returns the number of free blocks available for allocation.</p></li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>There are also interfaces for warming up <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">PyTorchModelEngine</span></code>, especially when using CUDA graphs:</p>
|
||
<ul class="simple">
|
||
<li><p><strong>add_padding_request</strong>: Adds a sequence of context length 1 to KV Cache as a warmup request.
|
||
This is optional if CUDA Graph is not used in your proof of concept.</p></li>
|
||
</ul>

|

<p>To customize <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">KVCacheManager</span></code>, implement all the necessary interfaces.

Then, integrate it into the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">PyExecutor</span></code>.

<p>For local testing or proof of concept, update these lines to use your implementation.

Then, test it to ensure the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">PyExecutor</span></code> runs with your customized <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">KVCacheManager</span></code>.</p>
