Attention Memory Architecture Pure Edge Computation

KV Cache Architecture & Latent Compression Sizer

Models KV cache memory savings across context windows up to 128k tokens for MHA, GQA, and MLA architectures.

Formula: MHA = 2 * H_q * D_h * Seq * P; GQA = 2 * H_kv * D_h * Seq * P; MLA = (D_c + D_pe) * Seq * P; Ratio = MHA / MLA

DeepSeek Latent Attention (MLA)
32.0 MB / stream
MHA Baseline: 2,048.0 MB / stream | GQA: 128.0 MB / stream
Attention KV Compression
64.0x reduction
Batch VRAM: 0.25 GB
For sequence length 32,768, standard MHA allocates 2,048.0 MB per sequence. GQA reduces this to 128.0 MB, while DeepSeek MLA compresses it to 32.0 MB (64.0x compression factor relative to MHA).
