vLLM TPU Profiling#
This script is used to profile the TPU performance of vLLM for specific prefill or decode token shapes.
Note: an actual running server is a mix of both prefill of many shapes and decode of many shapes.
We assume you are on a TPU already (this was tested on TPU v6e) and have installed vLLM according to the installation guide.
In all examples below, we run several warmups before (so
--enforce-eager
is okay)
Profile Examples#
Generate Prefill Trace#
This example runs Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct with a single request of 1024 input tokens. This is set up in attempt to profile just the prefill time and operations.
export XLA_HLO_DEBUG=1
export MODEL=Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct
export VLLM_TPU_PROFILE_DURATION_MS=3000
export VLLM_TPU_PROFILE_DELAY_MS=0
python3 profiling.py \
--model $MODEL \
--input-len 1024 --output-len 1 \
--batch-size 1 --enforce-eager \
--max-model-len 2048 \
--tensor-parallel-size 1 \
--profile-result-dir profiles
Generate Decode Trace#
This example runs Llama 3.1 70B with a batch of 32 requests where each has 1 input token and 128 output tokens. This is set up in attempt to profile just the 32 decodes running in parallel by having an extremely small prefill of 1 token and setting VLLM_TPU_PROFILE_DELAY_MS=1000
to skip the first second of inference (hopefully prefill).
export XLA_HLO_DEBUG=1
export MODEL=meta-llama/Llama-3.1-70B-Instruct
export VLLM_TPU_PROFILE_DURATION_MS=2000
export VLLM_TPU_PROFILE_DELAY_MS=1000
rm -rf ~/.cache/vllm/xla_cache
python3 profiling.py \
--model $MODEL \
--input-len 1 \
--output-len 128 \
--batch-size 32 \
--enforce-eager \
--profile-result-dir profiles \
--max-model-len 2048 --tensor-parallel-size 8
Visualizing the profiles#
Once you have collected your profiles with this script, you can visualize them using TensorBoard.
Here are most likely the dependencies you need to install:
pip install tensorflow-cpu tensorboard-plugin-profile etils importlib_resources
Then you just need to point TensorBoard to the directory where you saved the profiles and visit http://localhost:6006/
in your browser:
tensorboard --logdir profiles/ --port 6006
