KV cache is a major VRAM consumer and a direct limiter on long-context concurrency.
LATENCY & PERFORMANCEAI SRE
KV Cache Reliability
KV cache stores attention state for processed tokens so the model does not recompute them for every decode step.
The GPUs have compute headroom, but requests queue because KV cache allocation is nearly exhausted.
Do capacity alerts monitor KV cache separately from overall GPU utilization?
REMEMBERA GPU can be compute-idle and still be memory-constrained by KV cache.
