PowerInfer
Fast LLM inference on consumer GPUs using neuron-aware sparse computation.
About
PowerInfer from Shanghai Jiao Tong University is a CPU and GPU inference engine that exploits activation locality in large language models, keeping frequently activated hot neurons on the GPU and cold neurons on the CPU. This design speeds up inference on a single consumer GPU, reporting up to an eleven-fold gain over llama.cpp for large ReLU-based models with limited VRAM. Released under the MIT license.
