Analyzing Static Batching Inefficiency
An LLM inference server processes requests using a scheduling strategy where an entire group of requests must be fully processed before the next group can begin. Explain the primary performance drawback of this strategy, particularly when a group contains requests with widely varying completion times (e.g., one very long request mixed with several short ones).

Decoding-Prioritized Strategy in Standard Batching
Comparison of Continuous (Prefilling-Prioritized) vs. Standard (Decoding-Prioritized) Batching
An inference server processes user requests in groups. The server's scheduling policy dictates that it must wait for every single request within a group to finish generating its full response before it can begin processing the next group of requests. If a group contains three requests that take 4 seconds, 7 seconds, and 12 seconds to complete respectively, when will the server become available to start processing a new group?
