ZipBatch: Multi-Tenant GPU Batching with Dual-Resource Regulation

GPU multiplexing is a widely-adopted strategy in GPU clusters for improving overall throughput and lowering the total cost of ownership. To mitigate inter-task interference in compute power and memory bandwidth on multiplexed GPUs, existing techniques divide a GPU into instances with limited predefined rigid configurations. Low utilization arises from the mismatch between heterogeneous burstiness and immutable resource configurations: 1) bursty inference traffic forces the scheduler to launch underfilled batches that cannot saturate the instance; 2) bursty kernel resource utilization leads to bubbles in compute power and memory bandwidth.
