LLM Inference - KV Cache Offloading to ONTAP with vLLM and GDS

KV (key-value) caching is a technique that is used to optimize LLM inference by storing previously calculated values in a KV cache so that these values don't need to be calculated again for every new token that is generated, which would otherwise be necessary. As model context windows grow ever larger, and inference platforms are utilized by more and more users, the size of the KV cache can quickly outpace the amount of available GPU memory....
