怎么上手

由 README 提炼,执行前请确认
python3 download_pdfs.py
硬件要求按 README 说明

README 未说明

需要 CUDA多卡 / 张量并行
下载:源码 zip·GitHub Releases(安装包)本站不镜像安装包

项目说明

由 README 自动翻译提炼

一份按主题整理的 LLM/VLM 推理论文与代码清单,帮你快速找到 FlashAttention、PagedAttention、量化、并行等方向的原文和实现

整理大模型与多模态推理加速论文和配套代码的资源清单,涵盖 Flash-Attention、Paged-Attention、低比特量化与并行策略等方向,方便快速定位和复现关键技术。

核心能力

  • 按 MLA、并行、P/D 分离、KV Cache、量化等主题分类索引论文
  • 每条论文附 PDF 链接与对应开源代码仓库
  • 提供 500 页入门 PDF,覆盖 FlashAttention、PagedAttention、WINT8/4 等
  • 附 download_pdfs.py 脚本批量下载全部论文 PDF

容易踩的坑

这是论文清单仓库而非可运行推理框架,不要指望 pip 安装后直接跑模型;批量下载脚本由 AI 生成,运行前建议先确认网络与目标目录

内容由模型根据 README 生成,可能不完整或不准确,以官方文档为准。看原文 README
