Architectural Implications of Agentic AI Workflows

arXiv:2608.04458v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic AI is emerging in datacenters, but its architectural implications remain unexplored. We organize agentic workflows in a taxonomy and present its first architectural characterization with a production study at Microsoft Azure and a controlled study of open-source frameworks. We show that agentic execution is fragmented and heterogeneous. Requests expand into a workflow of LLM inferences, tool invocations, and orchestration decisions that repeatedly cross the CPU-GPU boundary. Our taxonomy explains how this fragmentation turns into resource demand. As orchestration and tools run on the host, the CPU sits on the critical path. Execution st
