Zero-Copy KV-Cache Migration Protocol (81.6ms Latency)

An open-core protocol for streaming LLM KV-cache states across datacenters cuts time-to-first-token latency to 81.73 ms and reduces GPU VRAM compute overhead by up to 95%, according to benchmarks released by the project's chief architect, Dominical Iroth. The protocol eliminates prompt re-computation during session handoffs, with memory slicing speed of 0.10 ms and target ingestion time of 1.63 ms, compared to 450–1200 ms for standard re-computation. The repository is dual-licensed under GNU AGPLv3, with enterprise options including a $20,000 proof-of-concept.

An open-core, high-throughput transport protocol designed to stream active Large Language Model (LLM) Key-Value (KV) Cache states across datacenters. 

By eliminating prompt re-computation during session handoffs, this protocol cuts Time-To-First-Token (TTFT) latency down to **81.73 ms** and saves up to **95%** in GPU VRAM compute overhead.

## Benchmarks

| Metric | Standard Re-computation | Protocol Engine | Delta |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Max Migration Latency** | ~$450.00\text{ ms} - 1200.00\text{ ms}$ | **$81.73\text{ ms}$** | **$5.5\times$ Faster** |
| **Memory Slicing Speed** | N/A (Full Compute) | **$0.10\text{ ms}$** | **Ultra-Low Overhead** |
| **Target Ingestion Time** | N/A | **$1.63\text{ ms}$** | **Deterministic** |
| **VRAM Compute Load** | $100\%$ GPU Compute Load | **$< 5\%$ I/O Load** | **$95\%$ Compute Savings** |

## Quickstart (Run Benchmark)

Run the local benchmark simulator to test memory buffer slicing on your current hardware:

``` bash
git clone [https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_REPO_NAME.git](https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_REPO_NAME.git)
cd YOUR_REPO_NAME
python3 benchmark/run_benchmark.py --buffer-size 128 --iterations 1000
