原文摘要
Mixture-of-Agents (MoA) systems improve reasoning accuracy by routing each query to multiple expert LLMs and aggregating their outputs. Efficiently executing this workload on limited GPU resources has bottlenecks. Skill-based routing creates skewed expert demand, and combining instruction-tuned LLMs with long-reasoning models results in extreme variability in generation lengths. Consequently, traditional scheduling strategies suffer from significant GPU idling and throughput collapse due to load imbalances. We present MOSAIC, a scheduling framework for accelerating batch-oriented MoA workloads. MOSAIC uses two-stage workload-aware scheduling: an expert placement stage, where an integer linear program (ILP) decides expert placement, followed by a query-sequencing stage that schedules requests based on predicted output lengths. Additionally, MOSAIC uses confidence-aware adaptive aggregation, leveraging inter-expert agreement to bypass the heavy aggregator LLM for consensus queries. On a 4-GPU system, MOSAIC achieves 2.7-3.4x end-to-end speedups over round-robin scheduling and reduces the mean time-to-answer by 3.9-7.8x, while matching accuracy within +/-1pp.
