Unlocking LLM Performance with eBPF - Optimizing Training and Inference Pipelines

Explore how to optimize Large Language Model (LLM) performance using eBPF in this 38-minute conference talk from the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). Discover techniques for achieving observability in LLM training and inference processes without disruption, including Memory Profiling for model and training data loading performance, Network Profiling for data exchange performance, and GPU Profiling for analyzing Model FLOPs Utilization (MFU) and performance bottlenecks. Learn about the practical effects of implementing eBPF-based observability in PyTorch LLM applications and the llm.c project to enhance training and inference performance. Gain insights into overcoming the challenges of improving GPU utilization in LLM processes that handle vast amounts of data and consume significant computational resources.
