SuperServe implements SubNetAct and SlackFit to serve many weight‑shared sub-net models from a single pre-trained super-network by inserting control‑flow operators that SubNetAct actuates sub-nets in <1 ms, enabling per-request routing and dynamic batching. The system jointly picks model and batch size using an EDF slack heuristic (fine‑grained reactive scheduling) and runs on real Microsoft traces, yielding up to 2.6× lower memory, 4.67% higher mean accuracy and 2.85× higher latency‑target attainment versus prior baselines.
