## Data Structure Layout
### Memory Format
Each layer maintains two pre-allocated tensors:
```
keys: (B, H, S_max, D) float32
values: (B, H, S_max, D) float32
```
| Symbol | Meaning | Example (GPT-4 class) |
|--------|--------------------------------|----------------------|
| B | Batch size | 164 |
| H | Number of attention heads | 32 |
| S_max | Maximum sequence length | 8192131072 |
| D | Head dimension (d_model / H) | 128 |
**Why BHSD layout?**
The dimensions are ordered so that the sequence axis (S) is stride-D
contiguous. This means:
1. **Append is a simple slice copy**`cache[b, :, pos, :] = new_kv`
writes D×H floats to a contiguous region.
2. **Attention matmul is efficient** — the inner `Q @ K^T` reads K along
the S dimension, which is stride-D contiguous.
3. **GPU-friendly** — maps directly to a CUDA tensor with no transposition
needed between the write and read paths.
### Auxiliary State
```
seq_lens: int[B] — valid prefix length per batch element
```
Positions `[..., :seq_lens[b], :]` contain valid data. Everything beyond
is garbage and must be masked out during attention.
## Update Logic Per Step
### Prefill Phase (processing the full prompt)
```
Input: prompt tokens of length S
Output: cache filled with S key-value pairs
for each layer:
Q, K, V = project(prompt_embeddings) # (B, S, d_model) → 3× (B, S, d_model)
K = reshape(K, (B, H, S, D)) # split into heads
V = reshape(V, (B, H, S, D))
cache.write(positions=[0, 1, ..., S-1], K, V) # bulk write
# Self-attention within the prompt (causal mask)
attn_output = attention(Q, cache.read()) # O(S²) — one-time cost
```
### Decode Phase (one token at a time)
```
Input: single new token
Output: logits for next token prediction
for each layer:
q_new, k_new, v_new = project(token_embedding) # each (B, 1, d_model)
k_new = reshape(k_new, (B, H, 1, D))
v_new = reshape(v_new, (B, H, 1, D))
# ── CACHE UPDATE: O(H·D) — write 1 token ──
cache[pos] = (k_new, v_new) # 2 × H × D floats
# ── ATTENTION: O(S·H·D) — query vs ALL cached keys ──
K_all, V_all = cache.read() # (B, H, S+1, D)
scores = q_new @ K_all.T / √D # (B, H, 1, S+1)
weights = softmax(scores)
output = weights @ V_all # (B, H, 1, D)
```
**Key insight**: Without caching, each decode step would require O(S²) work
(recomputing attention for all S previous tokens). With caching, it's only
O(S) — the new query attends against the cached keys/values.
## Attention Computation Using Cached Keys/Values
```
┌───────────┐ ┌───────────────────────────────────┐
│ Q_new │ │ Cached K (all past tokens) │
│ (1, D) │ × │ (S_valid, D) │
│ │ │ │
│ │ │ [k₀] [k₁] [k₂] ... [k_{S-1}] │
└─────┬─────┘ └───────────────────────────────────┘
│ │
▼ ▼
┌────────────────────────────────────┐
│ scores = Q · K^T / √D │ → (1, S_valid)
│ weights = softmax(scores) │ → (1, S_valid)
│ output = weights · V │ → (1, D)
└────────────────────────────────────┘
```
This is performed independently for each head H and batch element B.
## Memory Growth Analysis
### Linear Growth
The cache grows **linearly** with sequence length:
```
Memory per layer = 2 × B × H × S × D × sizeof(dtype)
= 2 × B × d_model × S × sizeof(dtype)
```
For a GPT-4-class model (32 layers, d_model=4096, FP32):
| Seq Length | Per Layer (MB) | Total (MB) | Total (GB) |
|-----------|---------------|-----------|-----------|
| 128 | 0.67 | 21.47 | 0.021 |
| 1,024 | 5.37 | 171.79 | 0.172 |
| 4,096 | 21.47 | 687.19 | 0.687 |
| 16,384 | 85.89 | 2,748.77 | 2.749 |
| 65,536 | 343.59 | 10,995.08 | 10.995 |
| 131,072 | 687.19 | 21,990.16 | 21.990 |
**Observation**: At 128K context with batch=1, you need **~22 GB** just for
the KV cache — before accounting for model weights, activations, or
gradients.
### FLOPs Savings
| Scenario | Without Cache | With Cache | Speedup |
|----------|--------------|-----------|---------|
| 1024 prompt + 100 decode | 4.2e14 | 2.0e12 | ~200× |
The speedup grows quadratically with sequence length.
## Optimizations
### 1. Paged Attention (Virtual Memory for KV Cache)
**Problem**: Pre-allocating `(B, H, S_max, D)` wastes memory for short
sequences and causes fragmentation when sequences finish at different
times.
**Solution**: Divide the cache into fixed-size blocks (pages):
```
Physical Memory:
┌────────┬────────┬────────┬────────┬────────┬────────┐
│ Block 0│ Block 1│ Block 2│ Block 3│ Block 4│ ... │
│(H,B,D) │(H,B,D) │(H,B,D) │(H,B,D) │(H,B,D) │ │
└────────┴────────┴────────┴────────┴────────┴────────┘
Page Tables:
Seq 0: [0] → [3] → [1] (3 blocks = 3 × BLOCK_SIZE tokens)
Seq 1: [2] → [4] (2 blocks = 2 × BLOCK_SIZE tokens)
Seq 2: [5] (1 block)
Free: [6, 7, 8, ...]
```
**Benefits**:
- Memory allocated only as needed (no S_max pre-allocation)
- Finished sequences free blocks immediately → higher throughput
- No external fragmentation
- Enables sharing of KV blocks across sequences (e.g., prefix caching)
**Implementation**: See `PagedKVCache` in `optimizations.py`.
### 2. Chunked Prefill
**Problem**: Processing a 32K-token prompt requires a 32K×32K attention
matrix (1 billion floats = 4 GB) just for the prefill.
**Solution**: Split the prompt into chunks of C tokens:
```
Prompt: [t₀, t₁, t₂, ..., t_{S-1}] (S = 32K)
Chunk 0: [t₀..t_{C-1}] → cache write → attention vs cache (0..C)
Chunk 1: [t_C..t_{2C-1}] → cache write → attention vs cache (0..2C)
Chunk 2: [t_{2C}..t_{3C-1}] → cache write → attention vs cache (0..3C)
...
```
Peak attention memory: O(C × S) instead of O(S²).
**Benefits**:
- Bounded peak memory regardless of prompt length
- Can interleave prefill chunks with decode steps from other sequences
- Better GPU utilization (uniform work items)
### 3. Cache Quantization (INT8 / INT4)
**Problem**: 22 GB for a 128K context is unsustainable.
**Solution**: Quantize cached K/V to lower precision:
| Precision | Bytes/Element | Memory Savings | Typical Quality Loss |
|-----------|-------------|---------------|---------------------|
| FP32 | 4 | 1× (baseline) | 0% |
| FP16 | 2 | 2× | <0.1% |
| INT8 | 1 | 4× | <0.5% |
| INT4 | 0.5 | 8× | 1-3% |
Quantization is per-token: `scale[b,h,t] = max(|K[b,h,t,:]|) / (2^bits - 1)`.
```
Storage:
k_quant: uint8 (B, H, S, D) or packed uint8 (B, H, S, D/2) for INT4
k_scale: float32 (B, H, S) — one scalar per token per head
Dequantize during attention:
K_float = k_quant * k_scale — in registers before matmul
```
**Benefits**:
- 4-8× memory reduction → longer contexts or larger batches
- Minimal quality loss for most tasks
- Hardware support on modern GPUs (FP8 on Hopper, INT8 on Ampere)

┌──────────────────────────────────────────────┐

│ ~255 registers/thread │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
### Kernel Mapping
| Operation | CPU (this impl) | GPU Kernel |
|-----------|----------------|------------|
| Cache write | `cache[b,:,pos,:] = new_kv` | `cudaMemcpyAsync` or block-level scatter |
| Q×K^T | `q @ k.T` | Batched GEMM (cuBLAS) or FlashAttention |
| Softmax | `_softmax(scores)` | Online softmax (FlashAttention) |
| Weights×V | `weights @ v` | GEMM (part of FlashAttention fused kernel) |
| Quantize | `_quantize_token()` | Block-reduce + scale + convert |
### FlashAttention Integration
The attention computation in this codebase performs the naive:
```
S = Q × K^T # materialize full (S_q, S_kv) matrix
A = softmax(S) # another (S_q, S_kv) matrix
O = A × V # output
```
On GPU, **FlashAttention** fuses these three operations:
```
for each tile of Q:
init: O = 0, m = -∞, l = 0
for each tile of K, V:
S_tile = Q_tile × K_tile^T # in SRAM
m_new = max(m, max(S_tile))
P_tile = exp(S_tile - m_new) # in SRAM
l_new = l + sum(P_tile)
O = O * (l/l_new) + P_tile × V_tile # accumulate
m, l = m_new, l_new
O = O / l
```
This keeps the O(S²) attention matrix entirely in SRAM, avoiding
HBM reads/writes. The KV cache is read tile-by-tile from HBM.
### Paged Attention on GPU
The `PagedKVCache` page table translates to a GPU indirection:
```cuda
// CUDA pseudocode for paged attention
__global__ void paged_attention(
float* Q, // (B, H, 1, D) — new query
float* K_pool, // (num_blocks, H, BLOCK_SIZE, D)
float* V_pool,
int* page_table, // (B, max_pages_per_seq)
int* seq_lens, // (B,)
float* output // (B, H, 1, D)
) {
int b = blockIdx.y;
int h = blockIdx.x;
int S = seq_lens[b];
// Load query into registers
float q[D];
load_query(q, Q, b, h);
// Iterate over pages
float score[S_MAX_LOCAL];
for (int page = 0; page < ceil(S / BLOCK_SIZE); page++) {
int phys_block = page_table[b * max_pages + page];
// Gather K/V from scattered physical blocks
for (int i = 0; i < BLOCK_SIZE; i++) {
float k = K_pool[phys_block * H * BLOCK_SIZE * D
+ h * BLOCK_SIZE * D + i * D + d];
score[page * BLOCK_SIZE + i] = dot(q, k) / sqrt(D);
}
}
// ... softmax, multiply by V, write output
}
```

## Running
```bash
python test_kv_cache.py
```
All tests run without any external dependencies beyond NumPy.
## Key Design Decisions
1. **Pre-allocation**: The base `KVCache` pre-allocates to `S_max` to
avoid GPU memory allocation during inference (malloc is expensive).
The `PagedKVCache` trades this for on-demand block allocation.
2. **No cross-contamination**: Each batch element maintains its own
valid prefix via `seq_lens`. Attention never attends to garbage
positions from other sequences.
3. **Separation of concerns**: Cache update (write) and attention
(read) are decoupled. The caller controls when each happens,
enabling chunked prefill and prefix sharing.
4. **Quantization at cache boundary**: K/V are computed in FP32,
quantized on write, dequantized on read. This keeps the attention
computation unchanged while reducing memory.

KV-Cache for Autoregressive Transformer Inference
===================================================
Memory layout
-------------
Each layer stores two tensors:
keys: shape (B, H, S_max, D) — float32
values: shape (B, H, S_max, D) — float32
Where:
B = batch size
H = number of attention heads
S_max = pre-allocated max sequence length
D = head dimension (d_model / H)
The layout is BHSD (batch, head, seq, dim) which is contiguous along
the sequence axis — ideal for appending one token at a time and for
the inner attention matmul.
A companion `seq_lens: list[int]` (length B) tracks how many positions
are valid in each batch element. Positions beyond seq_lens[b] contain
garbage and must never participate in attention.
No external frameworks are used. All kernels are pure-NumPy for
correctness; the design maps 1:1 to CUDA kernels (see README).

KV-Cache Optimizations
======================
Three production-grade optimizations for the base KV-cache:
1. PagedAttention — block-based virtual memory for the cache
2. Chunked Prefill — split long prompts into fixed-size chunks
3. Cache Quantization — compress K/V to lower precision
Each optimisation is a drop-in wrapper around the base KVCache

# Problem
# -------
# The base cache pre-allocates (B, H, S_max, D) per layer. If S_max
# is large (e.g. 128 k tokens) this wastes enormous memory for short
# sequences and fragments GPU memory when sequences finish at different
# times.
#
# Solution (cf. vLLM / PagedAttention)
# -------
# Divide the cache into fixed-size *blocks* (pages) of BLOCK_SIZE tokens.
# A per-sequence page table maps virtual positions → physical block ids.
# Blocks are allocated from a pool — freed when a sequence finishes and
# immediately reusable by a new sequence.
#
# Memory layout (physical):
# k_pool: (NUM_BLOCKS, H, BLOCK_SIZE, D)
# v_pool: (NUM_BLOCKS, H, BLOCK_SIZE, D)
#
# Per-sequence metadata:
# page_table: list[list[int]] — page_table[b] = [block_0, block_1, ...]
# seq_lens: list[int]
#
# GPU mapping: the page table lives in GPU memory and is indexed by a
# custom CUDA kernel that performs the gather from scattered blocks.
# On CPU we simulate it with index arithmetic.
