I found that Longest Prefix Matching (LPM) is used in SGLang as part of its cache-aware scheduling. I also tested a similar implementation in vLLM, and it slightly improved throughput. Has anyone else tried implementin…

Hi vLLm community :waving\_hand: We’ve been exploring scheduling strategies to better support mixed workloads. We’ve observed a challenge similar to a supermarket checkout: when short/interactive requests (buying one ite…

My understanding for forward pass in vllm is that it is done on a batch of tokens taken from the scheduler output and limited by max\_num\_batched\_tokens. In the forward pass I see these number of tokens are padded to the …

Question: Why does computation time remain consistent across chunks in chunked-prefill despite linearly growing attention complexity? Context: I’m profiling vLLM’s chunked-prefill optimization for long sequences (e.g., …

Hi, all. My model is relatively small-scale and doesn’t require large tensor parallelism (TP) for inference (TP=2 is enough for this model). However, my hardware instance has 8 GPUs. How can I configure multiple executo…

Hi guys, some question about V1 chunked prefils scheduling policy: it seems that it would prioritize decode at first. After we schedule as much as “decode”, how do we determine which prefill to be scheduled first? Is i…
