Understanding, Analyzing, and Optimizing Agentic AI: A CPU-Centric Perspective
The paper discusses the optimization of agentic AI execution from a CPU-centric perspective. It identifies system bottlenecks and proposes scheduling optimizations to improve CPU-GPU utilization. Experimental results show significant reductions in latency for both homogeneous and heterogeneous workloads.
- ▪Agentic AI converts LLM-based inference into autonomous problem-solving capabilities.
- ▪The paper characterizes and analyzes system bottlenecks introduced by agentic AI workloads.
- ▪Two scheduling optimizations, CPU-Aware Overlapped Micro-Batching and Mixed Agentic Scheduling, are proposed to enhance performance.
