Not All Models Suit Expert Offloading: On Local Routing Consistency of Mixture-of-Expert Models
🤖AI Summary
Researchers analyzed 20 Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) language models to study local routing consistency, finding a trade-off between routing consistency and local load balance. The study introduces new metrics to measure how well expert offloading strategies can optimize memory usage on resource-constrained devices while maintaining inference speed.
Key Takeaways
- →Two new metrics (SRP and SCH) were developed to measure local routing consistency in MoE models for better expert offloading strategies.
- →Strong trade-off exists between local routing consistency and local load balance, while global load balance can coexist with routing consistency.
- →Domain-specialized experts contribute more to routing consistency than vocabulary-specialized ones.
- →Optimal cache sizes are approximately twice the number of active experts for balancing effectiveness and efficiency.
- →Models with shared experts that decrease expert combination space show low local routing consistency.
