arXiv:2610.31827v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-context LLM serving for agentic, coding, and document workloads reuses prefixes whose key-value (KV) cache outgrows GPU and host memory, putting storage I/O on the critical path of the inference step for retrieving prefixes. A single node-local NVMe absorbs all retrievals, while the parallel file system or cloud file store that nodes already mount carries almost no inference traffic. We cast prefix retrieval as aggregate-bandwidth scheduling across these tiers and present KVStream, a KV cache engine that batches a step's reads, defers writes behind the forward pass, replicates each chunk on every tier, and lets each tier adaptively claim the next unread chunks once it is free. Our performance model shows this routing attains the aggregat
