Evaluating Scheduling Strategies for Real-Time Applications
An engineering team is designing an LLM-powered, real-time conversational assistant where minimizing user-perceived response time is the top priority. They are considering implementing a continuous batching scheduler that uses a prefilling-prioritized strategy. Evaluate the suitability of this strategy for their specific goal. Justify your decision by explaining the inherent trade-off of this approach.

Throughput-Latency Trade-off in Prefilling-Prioritized Continuous Batching
An inference server is managing a batch of several short, ongoing requests that are in the process of generating output. A new request with a very long input sequence arrives. The system's scheduler immediately incorporates this new request into the active batch to begin processing it, aiming to keep the hardware as busy as possible. What is the most probable consequence for the initial short requests already in the batch?
