| 4 | |
| 5 | Automatic Prefix Caching (APC) allows the vLLM engine to reuse cached |
| 6 | KV (key-value) pairs from previous prompts if a new query shares the same |
| 7 | prefix. This reduces redundant computation and improves inference speed. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | To enable APC, set `enable_prefix_caching=True` when initializing the |
| 10 | vLLM engine. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | This script uses a long Markdown table as the shared prompt prefix and |
| 13 | compares the generation time for two queries that share the same prefix |
| 14 | but ask different questions. |
| 15 | |
