PALS: Power-Aware LLM Serving for Mixture-of-Experts Models

ArXi:2605.21427v1 Announce Type: new Large language model (LLM) inference has become a dominant workload in modern data centers, driving significant GPU utilization and energy consumption. While prior systems optimize throughput and latency by batching, scheduling, and parallelism, they largely treat GPU power as a static constraint rather than a controllable resource. In this paper, we present a power-aware runtime for LLM serving, PALS, that treats GPU power caps as a first-class control knob and jointly optimizes them with software parameters such as batch size.
