iS-KV: Online Low-Rank KV Cache Compression via Block-Incremental SVD
TL;DR
iS-KV is a novel online low-rank key-value (KV) cache compression method that maintains historical representation consistency while achieving significant memory savings. It demonstrates up to 5.64-fold compression with high accuracy on autoregressive models.
✦ Why It Matters
Consider implementing iS-KV for efficient memory management in your autoregressive models today.
Key Takeaways
- Adopt iS-KV for efficient memory management in autoregressive models.
- Utilize block-incremental SVD for online cache compression.
- Maintain historical state representation to improve reasoning accuracy.
- Evaluate performance against traditional token-eviction methods.
How It Works
iS-KV employs block-incremental singular value decomposition (SVD) to compress the KV-cache while ensuring that the representation of historical states remains consistent. It updates the basis for new tokens and synchronizes the coordinates of older tokens, preventing drift in the representation.
This allows the model to retain important historical information while reducing memory usage.
