KV Cache Offloading:
Free GPU Memory in Long-Context LLM Serving

A practical framework for deciding when to offload KV cache

LLM inference workloads diverge in concurrent users, context length, and traffic patterns, each shifting where KV cache pressure lands on GPU memory. This guide maps workloads to the right offloading verdict, weighs the three cost variables that decide it, and pinpoints where offloading would actually regress performance.
