MARS: Efficient, Adaptive Co-Scheduling for Heterogeneous Agentic Systems

Preprint · April 14, 2026 Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed as the execution core of autonomous agents rather than as standalone text generators. Agentic workloads induce a temporal shift from single-turn inference to multi-turn LLM-tool loops, and a spatial sh ... Link to item Cite
