Maestro: Workload-Aware Cross-Cluster Scheduling for LLM-Based Multi-Agent Systems

Jinghao Wang, Xiao Zhou, Xiaoyang Sun, Yihui Zhang 2026-06-14

Maestro addresses the problem of high resource consumption and scheduling inefficiencies in deploying LLM-based multi-agent systems under strict GPU budgets. The method uses agent semantics to predict output length and memory usage, enabling hierarchical scheduling with dynamic model co-location, latency-aware routing, and workflow-aware prioritization. Experimental evidence shows Maestro reduces KV-reservation HBM by 67.2% and improves high-contention SLO attainment over EDF by 23.6 percentage points. This matters because it enables efficient, scalable deployment of complex multi-agent workflows in resource-constrained cloud environments.

GF-DiT: Scheduling Parallelism for Diffusion Transformer Serving

Xinwei Qiang, Yifan Hu, Shixuan Sun, Jing Yang 2026-06-14

The problem is that existing Diffusion Transformer (DiT) serving systems use static parallelism for each request, which is inefficient due to heterogeneity across requests, execution stages, and system conditions. GF-DiT introduces a policy-programmable runtime that dynamically adapts parallelism via an asynchronous execution abstraction and group-free collectives for low-overhead online GPU reallocation. Experimental evaluation in vLLM-Omni shows GF-DiT improves throughput by up to 6.01×, reduces mean latency by up to 95%, and lowers SLO violation rates by up to 90% compared to fixed-pipeline execution. This matters because it enables efficient, elastic DiT serving that treats GPU parallelism as a schedulable resource, significantly improving performance and service quality for image and video generation workloads.
