软件:
软件
支持的版本
说明
Ascend HDK
参考文档 CANN 9.0.0
CANN 运行必需
CANN
== 9.0.0
vllm-ascend 和 torch-npu 运行必需
torch-npu
== 2.10.0
vllm-ascend 必需,无需手动安装,后续步骤会自动安装。
torch
== 2.10.0
torch-npu 和 vllm 必需,无需手动安装,后续步骤会自动安装。
NNAL
== 9.0.0
libatb.so 必需,用于启用高级张量算子加速
有两种安装方式:
使用 pip:首先手动或通过 CANN 镜像准备环境,然后使用 pip 安装
vllm-ascend。使用 Docker:直接使用
vllm-ascend预构建的 Docker 镜像。
配置昇腾 CANN 环境#
在安装之前,请确保固件/驱动和 CANN 已正确安装,更多详情请参考 昇腾环境搭建指南。
配置硬件环境#
要验证 Ascend NPU 固件和驱动程序是否正确安装,请运行:
npu-smi info
更多详情请参考昇腾环境搭建指南。
配置软件环境#
准备软件环境最简单的方法是直接使用 CANN 官方镜像:
备注
CANN 预构建镜像已包含 NNAL(昇腾神经网络加速库),它为高级张量操作提供 libatb.so 支持。使用预构建镜像时无需额外安装。
# Update DEVICE according to your device (/dev/davinci[0-7])
export DEVICE=/dev/davinci7
# Update the vllm-ascend image
export IMAGE=quay.io/ascend/cann:9.0.0-910b-ubuntu22.04-py3.11
docker run --rm \
--name vllm-ascend-env \

如果您使用的是 vllm-ascend 预构建的 Docker 镜像,则无需额外步骤。
完成上述步骤后,即可开始安装 vllm 和 vllm-ascend。
使用 Python 安装#
首先安装系统依赖并配置 pip 镜像源:
# Using apt-get with mirror
sed -i 's|ports.ubuntu.com|mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn|g' /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update -y && apt-get install -y gcc g++ cmake libnuma-dev wget git curl jq
# Or using yum
# yum update -y && yum install -y gcc g++ cmake numactl-devel wget git curl jq
# Config pip mirror,only versions 0.11.0 and earlier are supported, if using a version later than 0.11.0, do not execute this command
pip config set global.index-url https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/pypi/web/simple
[可选] 如果您在 x86 架构机器上操作或使用 torch-npu 开发版本,请配置 pip 的额外索引 (extra-index):
# For torch-npu dev version or x86 machine
pip config set global.extra-index-url "https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu/"
接着,您可以从预构建的 wheel 包安装 vllm 和 vllm-ascend:
# Install vllm-project/vllm. The newest supported version is v0.20.2.
pip install vllm==0.20.2
# Install vllm-project/vllm-ascend.
pip install \
--extra-index-url https://mirrors.huaweicloud.com/ascend/repos/pypi/variant https://mirrors.huaweicloud.com/ascend/repos/pypi \
vllm-ascend==0.20.2rc1
uv-wheelnext 安装方式仅下载基于 vllm 的增量部分,从而减少下载量。首先安装 uv-wheelnext 以支持增量 wheel 包:
# install uv-wheelnext
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sed 's/verify_checksum "$_file"/true/' | INSTALLER_DOWNLOAD_URL=https://wheelnext.astral.sh sh
source $HOME/.local/bin/env
# Install vllm-project/vllm. The newest supported version is v0.20.2.
pip install vllm==0.20.2
# Install vllm-project/vllm-ascend from wheelnext index.
uv pip install --system \
--extra-index-url https://mirrors.huaweicloud.com/ascend/repos/pypi/variant https://mirrors.huaweicloud.com/ascend/repos/pypi \
vllm-ascend==0.20.2rc1

或者从源代码构建:
备注
要安装 triton-ascend,请运行:
pip install triton-ascend==3.2.1 --extra-index-url https://mirrors.huaweicloud.com/ascend/repos/pypi
如果您通过 uv 安装,请确保在所有其他包安装完成之后再安装 triton-ascend,以避免依赖解析冲突。
# Install vLLM.
git clone --depth 1 --branch v0.20.2 https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm
cd vllm
VLLM_TARGET_DEVICE=empty pip install -e .
cd ..
# Install vLLM Ascend.
git clone --depth 1 --branch v0.20.2rc1 https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend.git
cd vllm-ascend
git submodule update --init --recursive
pip install -e .
cd ..
如果您正在为 Atlas A3 构建自定义算子,请手动执行 git submodule update --init --recursive,或确保您的环境可以访问互联网。
备注
构建自定义算子需要 gcc/g++ 版本高于 8 且支持 C++17 或更高标准。如果您在使用 pip install -e . 时遇到 torch-npu 版本冲突,请使用 pip install --no-build-isolation -e . 以在系统环境下构建。如果在编译过程中遇到其他问题,通常是因为使用了非预期的编译器,您可以在编译前导出 CXX_COMPILER 和 C_COMPILER 环境变量来指定 g++ 和 gcc 的具体路径。
如果您在仅 CPU 的环境(无法使用 npu-smi)中构建,需要在执行 pip install -e . 之前设置 SOC_VERSION,以便构建过程针对正确的芯片。您可以参考 Dockerfile* 中的默认值,例如:
Atlas A2:
export SOC_VERSION=ascend910b1Atlas A3:
export SOC_VERSION=ascend910_9391Atlas 300I:
export SOC_VERSION=ascend310p1Atlas A5:
export SOC_VERSION=<以 "ascend950" 开头的值>
使用 Docker 安装#
vllm-ascend 提供了用于部署的 Docker 镜像。您可以直接从镜像仓库 ascend/vllm-ascend 拉取预构建镜像并运行。
支持的镜像如下:

git clone https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend.git
cd vllm-ascend
docker build -t vllm-ascend-dev-image:latest -f ./Dockerfile .
# Update --device according to your device (Atlas A2: /dev/davinci[0-7] Atlas A3:/dev/davinci[0-15]).

-it $IMAGE bash
默认工作目录为 /workspace,vLLM 和 vLLM Ascend 代码位于 /vllm-workspace,并以开发模式 (pip install -e) 安装,以便开发者无需重新安装即可立即应用更改。
额外信息#
验证安装#
创建并运行一个简单的推理测试。example.py 内容示例如下:
from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams
prompts = [
"Hello, my name is",
"The president of the United States is",
"The capital of France is",
"The future of AI is",
]
# Create a sampling params object.
sampling_params = SamplingParams(temperature=0.8, top_p=0.95)
# Create an LLM.
llm = LLM(model="Qwen/Qwen3-0.6B")
# Generate texts from the prompts.
outputs = llm.generate(prompts, sampling_params)
for output in outputs:
prompt = output.prompt
generated_text = output.outputs[0].text
print(f"Prompt: {prompt!r}, Generated text: {generated_text!r}")
然后运行:
python example.py
如果遇到 Hugging Face 连接错误(例如:We couldn't connect to 'https://huggingface.co' to load the files, and couldn't find them in the cached files.),请运行以下命令以使用 ModelScope 作为替代方案:
export VLLM_USE_MODELSCOPE=True
pip install modelscope
python example.py
此部分显示 vllm 中成功检测到 ascend 平台:
INFO 05-27 11:40:38 [__init__.py:44] Available plugins for group vllm.platform_plugins:
INFO 05-27 11:40:38 [__init__.py:46] - ascend -> vllm_ascend:register
INFO 05-27 11:40:38 [__init__.py:49] All plugins in this group will be loaded. Set `VLLM_PLUGINS` to control which plugins to load.
INFO 05-27 11:40:38 [__init__.py:238] Platform plugin ascend is activated
此部分显示最终输出:
Prompt: 'Hello, my name is', Generated text: ' Lucy and I am an 8 year old who loves to draw and write stories'
Prompt: 'The president of the United States is', Generated text: " a key leader in the federal government, and the president's role in the executive"
Prompt: 'The capital of France is', Generated text: ' a city. What is the capital of France? The capital of France is Paris'
Prompt: 'The future of AI is', Generated text: ' a topic that is being discussed in various contexts. In the business world, AI'
此部分显示离线推理后进程退出,不影响实际推理:

多节点部署#
验证多节点通信#
首先检查物理层连通性,然后验证每个节点,最后验证节点间连通性。
物理层要求#
物理机必须位于同一局域网内,且网络互通。
所有 NPU 均通过光模块连接,且连接状态必须正常。
单节点验证#
在每个节点上依次执行以下命令。结果必须全部为 success 且状态为 UP:
# Check the remote switch ports
for i in {0..7}; do hccn_tool -i $i -lldp -g | grep Ifname; done
# Get the link status of the Ethernet ports (UP or DOWN)
for i in {0..7}; do hccn_tool -i $i -link -g ; done
# Check the network health status
for i in {0..7}; do hccn_tool -i $i -net_health -g ; done
# View the network detected IP configuration
for i in {0..7}; do hccn_tool -i $i -netdetect -g ; done
# View gateway configuration
for i in {0..7}; do hccn_tool -i $i -gateway -g ; done
# View NPU network configuration
cat /etc/hccn.conf
# Check the remote switch ports
for i in {0..15}; do hccn_tool -i $i -lldp -g | grep Ifname; done
# Get the link status of the Ethernet ports (UP or DOWN)
for i in {0..15}; do hccn_tool -i $i -link -g ; done
# Check the network health status
for i in {0..15}; do hccn_tool -i $i -net_health -g ; done
# View the network detected IP configuration
for i in {0..15}; do hccn_tool -i $i -netdetect -g ; done
# View gateway configuration
for i in {0..15}; do hccn_tool -i $i -gateway -g ; done
# View NPU network configuration
cat /etc/hccn.conf
互联验证#
1.获取 NPU IP 地址#
for i in {0..7}; do hccn_tool -i $i -ip -g | grep ipaddr; done
for i in {0..15}; do hccn_tool -i $i -ip -g | grep ipaddr; done
2.跨节点 PING 测试#
# Execute on the target node (replace with actual IP)
hccn_tool -i 0 -ping -g address x.x.x.x
在每个节点运行容器#
使用 vLLM-ascend 官方容器运行多节点环境效率更高。
在每个节点运行以下命令以启动容器(您应提前将权重下载到 /root/.cache):
# Update the vllm-ascend image
# openEuler:
# export IMAGE=quay.io/ascend/vllm-ascend:v0.20.2rc1-openeuler
