### 21. [MAServeBench: Benchmarking Multi-Agent LLM Serving Systems with Hierarchical Collaboration Workloads](https://consonance.fyi/en/lecture/arxiv%3A2610.40293.md)

_system_design · 9 upvotes_

**QUESTION** — How can multi-agent collaboration workflows be systematically modeled to benchmark LLM serving systems and hardware bottlenecks?

The authors present MAServeBench, a benchmark designed to evaluate LLM serving systems and hardware by treating multi-agent collaboration as a configurable dimension of serving workloads. Multi-agent systems coordinate specialized agents that generate interdependent model and tool operations with dynamic concurrency, computation, and memory demands. MAServeBench uses composable stages and Hierarchical Semantic Traces to capture collaboration rules and preserved dependencies, enabling reproducible comparisons of serving execution and GPU/NPU hardware bottlenecks.
