Moonmoon Mohanty’s work on Deferred prefill for throughput maximization in LLM inference accepted in EuroMLSys 2025

A team of researchers from IISc—Moonmoon Mohanty, Gautham Bolar, Preetam Patil, and Prof. Parimal Parag—in collaboration with IBM Research, have developed a new method to significantly improve the speed and efficiency of large language model (LLM) systems like ChatGPT.

Instead of refilling the model’s memory every time a new user request arrives, their method waits until a few previous requests finish, reducing interruptions and improving overall performance. Tested on real AI models, their approach led to up to 13.7% faster processing and 17% shorter wait times for users.

This work was presented at EuroMLSys 2025 in Rotterdam and could help make AI services faster and more efficient for everyone.

IISc–Qualcomm Workshop on Cutting-Edge Research in Wireless Networks

The Indian Institute of Science (IISc), in collaboration with Qualcomm, recently hosted a one-day workshop dedicated to advancing research in wireless networks. The event brought together leading experts from both academia and industry to share insights and foster discussions on state-of-the-art developments in the field.

Distinguished speakers from Qualcomm included Mr. Shashidhar Vummintala, Dr. Abhijit Bhattacharya, Mr. Rajeev Kumar, Ms. Geetha Rajendran, Mr. Anuj Gupta, Mr. Nitin Jain, Mr. Kapil Soni, and Mr. Arvind Krishna. From IISc, the speakers included eminent faculty members such as Prof. Anurag Kumar, Prof. Rajesh Sundaresan, Prof. Chandra R. Murthy, Prof. Chandramani K. Singh, Arthi S., Prof. Sumit K. Mandal, and Prof. Parimal Parag.

The workshop served as a platform for knowledge exchange on emerging challenges and innovations in wireless communication systems, with a focus on bridging academic research and industry applications. The sessions highlighted collaborative opportunities and laid the groundwork for future advancements in next-generation wireless technologies.

Statistics of Successive Successful Transmissions – A New Metric for Reliability in Stochastic Geometry

In this talk, Prof. Gourab Ghatak from IIT Delhi, introduced the concept of target tracking probability—a new metric capturing successive detections in automotive radar networks. He explained how it better reflects QoS needs like latency and reliability, compared to traditional detection metrics. He also proposed a block MAC protocol optimized for tracking, showing that optimal settings for tracking and detection can differ significantly.

Failure diagnosis in networked systems

In this talk, Dr. Vipul Harsh from Conviva Networks, discussed practical approaches to automated failure diagnosis—or Root Cause Analysis (RCA)—in complex networked systems. He highlighted the challenges of accurately modeling system behavior from telemetry data and inferring root causes effectively. To address these, he presented reasoning-based techniques that improve diagnostic accuracy and emphasized the need for a holistic, systems-level perspective beyond just algorithmic improvements.

Multi user channels with noisy feedback

In this talk, Dr. Deepanshu Vasal from Northwestern University, explored communication channels with noisy feedback, a largely uncharted area due to its decentralized nature and lack of common information. He began with the point-to-point channel and introduced a new mathematical framework to analyze such systems. Building on this, he extended the approach to various multi-user Gaussian channels—including MAC, broadcast, relay, and MIMO—where existing theory is limited or nonexistent, offering a unified perspective on feedback in complex communication settings.
