Why Is Speculative Decoding Fast?
AI summary
Editorial policyThe article explains that speculative decoding is fast not because it reduces the total amount of work, but because it changes the type of work the GPU performs.
Key points
- •The speedup of speculative decoding is not due to reducing the total amount of computational work.
- •Performance improves by changing the type of work the GPU executes.
- •Algorithm design that accounts for GPU processing characteristics is the key to this speedup.
