Xlite轻量化推理运行时

介绍

xlite (GVirt前端):轻量级Transformer模型运行时,支持多样性算力协同,当前支持在昇腾硬件上高效运行。 xlite公开了Transformer运行所需的模型构图以及算子,所有算子基于昇腾AscendC/CCE开发。

背景与动机

在大模型推理场景中,传统的单流串行执行模式存在以下问题:

  • 核间负载不均:不同AICORE之间的任务分配不均衡,部分核心闲置
  • 资源浪费多:计算资源和传输资源利用率低,存在显著浪费
  • 执行时间长:Host CPU下发算子开销大,造成严重的host bond问题

xlite通过以下技术手段解决上述问题:

  • 多流并行:充分利用卡内资源,将单流串行改为多流并行执行
  • 核间负载均衡:核间负载均衡,提升资源利用率
  • CPU NPU协同:C++侧完全消除Python的GC、线程等干扰,简化Host tiling计算,去除小块内存申请释放及拷贝,消除Host bond

性能效果显著:

在GLM-4.7双机推理场景(40K输入、1K输出、prefix cache命中率约90%)下:

  • TPOT时延降低17%~30%
  • 吞吐提升13%~41%

详细性能数据参考 PR #7935

软件架构

xlite已适配vllm_ascend,可通过xlite_graph_config配置快速使能xlite加速效果,使用方法参考官方指导文档

xlite支持模型见模型列表

快速开始

安装

# 安装vllm_ascend, 可参考https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/blob/main/README.md
# 安装xlite
pip install xlite

离线推理示例

import os
from vllm import LLM

# xlite默认支持decode-only模式, 可通过设置 "full_mode": True 使能full模式
model = LLM(model="path/to/Qwen3-32B", tensor_parallel_size=8, additional_config={"xlite_graph_config": {"enabled": True, "full_mode": True}})
outputs = model.generate("Hello, how are you?")

在线服务示例

vllm serve path/to/Qwen3-32B --tensor-parallel-size 8 --additional-config='{"xlite_graph_config": {"enabled": true, "full_mode": true}}'
