Evaluation of LLM Key-Value (KV) Cache management strategies, focusing on the asymptotic complexity of compute, memory traffic (HBM reads), and control scoring mechanisms.

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | LLM KV Cache Management |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | Asymptotic Complexity Analysis |
| Metric | Controller Scoring Complexity |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Lower is better |
| Results loaded | 1 of 1 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [Controller Scoring Complexity](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/llm-kv-cache-management-on-asymptotic-complexity-analysis.md?metric=Controller%20Scoring%20Complexity>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Compute Complexity](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/llm-kv-cache-management-on-asymptotic-complexity-analysis.md?metric=Compute%20Complexity>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Memory Traffic (HBM reads)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/llm-kv-cache-management-on-asymptotic-complexity-analysis.md?metric=Memory%20Traffic%20(HBM%20reads)>): Lower is better; unit: SIZE.
