Deterministic Multi-Agent Latency Mathematics
Multi-agent system latency is governed by physical compute boundaries rather than conversational prompts:
1. Step Execution Latency
T_step = TTFT + (Tokens_out / Speed_gen) + RTT_net + T_tool
Time to first token (TTFT) plus streaming generation time, network round-trip, and tool node execution.
2. DAG Parallelization Factor
Nodes_eff = 1 + (N - 1) × (1 - Parallel_Factor)
Parallel map-reduce reduces serial node compounding by executing non-dependent steps simultaneously.
3. Breakeven Volume Threshold
Runs_be = Monthly_GPU_Lease / Cost_Per_Run_Public
The inflection point where leasing dedicated H100/H200 compute nodes becomes cheaper than paying public cloud token bills.
Frequently Asked Technical Questions
- Why is multi-agent pipeline latency compounded on public cloud APIs?
- Every agent step incurs public TLS handshakes (75–110ms) and multi-tenant queueing TTFT (250–450ms). In sequential architectures, 5 to 10 agent invocations easily balloon latency past 10 seconds. Colocating private VPC GPU clusters eliminates internet latency and yields sub-2s execution.
- How does private VPC continuous batching handle concurrent spikes?
- Using vLLM and TensorRT-LLM PagedAttention, requests are batched dynamically at the token level rather than sequence level. A 4x H100 cluster handles up to 8,800 generated tokens per second with zero queue stalling.
