Emerging AI accelerators increasingly adopt wafer-scale manufacturing technologies, integrating hundreds of thousands cores in a mesh-based architecture with large distributed on-chip memory (tens GB total) and ultra-high bandwidth PB/s). However, current LLM inference systems, optimized for shared architectures like GPUs, fail to fully exploit these accelerators. We introduce WaferLLM, the first system. WaferLLM is guided by novel PLMR device model that captures unique hardware...
