New monokernel decoder boosts Muse Spark on MI355X GPUs by up to 57%
This update improves how the key-value (KV) cache size is determined for GPU memory by measuring actual free memory after CUDA graph capture and warmup, rather than relying on pre-capture estimates. It reserves the full cache address space upfront but only allocates physical memory as needed, reducing memory waste and improving efficiency on CUDA and ROCm platforms.
