• Fast Inference from Transformers via Speculative Decoding (2022, neutral): “Speculative execution (Burton, 1985; Hennessy & Patterson, 2012) is an optimization technique, common in processors, where a task is performed in parallel to verifying if it’s actually needed - the payoff being increased concurrency.”
• Unlocking Efficiency in Large Language Model Inference: A Comprehensive Survey of Speculative Decoding (2024, background): “Besides, this work marks the first time that the idea of speculative execution (Burton, 1985) is explicitly exploited for LLM acceleration.”
