摘要
Prefill and decode are complementary in resource usage, but often divergent in parallelism preferences. Executing the two phases separately preserves their preferred parallelism but leaves complementary resources underutilized, while co-batching improves utilization but often requires a uniform parallel configuration that hurts execution efficiency. To resolve this utilization-efficiency dilemma, we propose Conflux Parallelism (XP), a parallel execution abstraction that co-executes prefill and decode with different parallelism within the same batch. Conflux Parallelism exploits operator-level Transformer structure to construct a heterogeneous execution path with different batching and parallelism strategies across operators, combining the best of co-batching and phase-specific execution. Building on Conflux Parallelism, we design ConfluxServe, an SLO-aware serving system that maximizes cluster goodput under TTFT and TBT constraints. Evaluation on production workloads shows that ConfluxServe improves serving goodput by 1.26-1.62x over the strongest baselines.
