This pull request clarifies the KV cache per-layer calculation in the continuous batching blog post. Since L (layers) and H (heads) are both 32 for Llama-2-7B, it's easy to mistake the 32 in the multiplication for L instead of H. Explicitly using H * A helps make this clearer. Also added the calculation of total cache size across all layers for completeness.
