Understanding LLM System with 3-layer Abstraction – Huizi Mao –
Performance optimization of LLM systems requires a thorough understanding of the full software stack. Somehow I couldn’t find a comprehensive article that covers the big picture yet, so instead of waiting for one, I decided to write this article. This article is not a comprehensive review or best practice guide, but rather a sharing of my overall perspective on the current LLM system landscape.

First, any system is designed to achieve specific objectives within given constraints. For LLM systems, the most critical objectives are throughput and
