Gahow Wang 05592e6adc Agentic workload PD separation analysis with trace-driven benchmarks ...

Systematic study of prefill-decode disaggregation for agentic LLM workloads
using production GLM-5.1 coder trace (2.1M requests, 71B input tokens).

Key findings:
- Cache-aware routing improves TPOT p90 by 15% and APC from 20.8% to 44.7%
  without PD separation, matching PD-Sep's decode isolation benefit
- PD separation adds +72% TTFT overhead (KV transfer) with no TPOT gain
  when using the same cache-aware scheduler
- Prefill remains compute-bound even at 95% KV cache reuse (AI >1000x
  vs decode AI <2), but absolute FLOPs drop 71% from cache hits
- For agentic MoE workloads, cache-aware routing > PD separation

Infrastructure:
- Trace sampler preserving session structure + hash_ids for prefix sharing
- Async trace replayer with streaming TTFT/TPOT/E2E measurement
- Unified cache-aware + token-level load-balanced global scheduler proxy
  supporting both PD-colocated and PD-disaggregated (Mooncake/RDMA) modes
- vLLM 0.18.1 scheduler patch for KV transfer abort race condition
- Roofline analysis tool for prefill/decode compute characterization
