vLLM: High-Throughput and Memory-Efficient LLM Inference and Serving Engine
An open-source library focused on optimizing the inference and serving of large language models (LLMs) for maximum throughput and minimal memory usage. Essential for production deployments of LLMs.
Project Introduction
Summary
This project is a high-performance engine designed specifically for serving large language models. It utilizes cutting-edge algorithms and system optimizations to achieve industry-leading throughput and memory efficiency, making LLM deployment more scalable and cost-effective.
Problem Solved
Traditional LLM serving methods are often memory-inefficient and struggle with high request throughput under production loads, leading to high infrastructure costs and poor performance. This project addresses these limitations.
Core Features
Efficient Memory Management (PagedAttention)
Implements advanced memory management techniques like PagedAttention to efficiently handle key-value caches, significantly reducing memory footprint compared to naive approaches.
Continuous Batching
Processes multiple requests concurrently, even during token generation, maximizing GPU utilization and overall throughput.
Broad Model Support
Supports a wide range of popular LLM architectures out-of-the-box, making it easy to integrate with existing models.
