MinIO Doubles the Sessions Your GPUs Hold, Measured the Way You'd Actually Run It

Published KV cache speedup claims run from sixteen to seventy times, but they come from tests that disable the GPU's own cache and drive traffic from a load generator with no human pauses, which measures a component rather than a fleet. MinIO rebuilt the benchmark around real agentic session behavior, and on the same GPUs MemKV delivered 2.4× the tokens, 2.59× the completed turns, and 4.5× better tail latency on returning turns.

The Complete GPU Storage Stack: AIStor + MemKV Architecture Guide

Learn how AIStor, MemKV, and a secure data fabric form the three-layer GPU stack that slashes inference latency.
