Publication number: 20250139136Abstract: A technique partitions a user's original query into plural smaller component queries, each of which has a common part and an instance-specific part. The technique distributes the component queries to plural processor instances of a processor. The plural processor instances transform the respective component queries into query-component responses by acting in parallel, independent of each other. The technique generates a final response based on the query-component responses, e.g., by assembling the component-query responses into the final response. The technique reduces latency because the processor instances work on parts of the user's original query at the same time, rather than as a single stream of consecutive tokens. The plural processor instances have access to a shared cache memory, and utilize relevant data that has been computed in response to previous queries.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2023Publication date: May 1, 2025Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Sayan Dev PATHAK, Osama ABUELSOROUR, Christopher Hakan BASOGLU, Harini KESAVAMOORTHY, Girish Milind MAHAJAN, Salman Mohammad QUAZI, Valeriy Viktorovich KIRSHIN
