Mooncake Transfer Engine

Mooncake is required for prefill-decode disaggregation mode, which separates prefill and decode phases across different nodes for production deployments.

Installing Mooncake

pip install --break-system-packages mooncake-transfer-engine==0.3.8.post1

Verifying Mooncake

python3 -c "from mooncake.engine import TransferEngine; print('Mooncake OK')"

When is Mooncake Needed?

Mooncake is required when using:

--disaggregation-mode prefill or --disaggregation-mode decode
Multi-node deployments with KV cache transfer
Production DeepSeek-V3/R1 deployments with prefill-decode separation

Note: For single-node testing without disaggregation, Mooncake is not required.

NIXL Transfer Engine (Recommended)

NIXL (NVIDIA Inference Xfer Library) is an alternative to Mooncake that uses DMA-BUF instead of nvidia_peermem. It's the recommended choice when:

Using NVIDIA Open Kernel Module (nvidia_peermem won't load)
nvidia_peermem fails with "Invalid argument" error
You want a more portable solution that doesn't depend on kernel modules

Installing NIXL

pip install --break-system-packages nixl==0.9.0

# IMPORTANT: NIXL may downgrade NVIDIA libraries, reinstall correct versions:
pip install nvidia-nccl-cu12==2.28.3 --force-reinstall --no-deps
pip install nvidia-cudnn-cu12==9.16.0.29 --force-reinstall --no-deps

注意: NIXL 还会安装 nvidia-nvshmem-cu12==3.4.5，这个 pip 包不会被使用。 DeepEP 使用的是自编译的 NVSHMEM 3.5.19（带 IBGDA 支持），通过 unified-env.sh 中的 LD_PRELOAD 加载。

Verifying NIXL

python3 -c "import nixl; print('NIXL OK')"

Using NIXL for Disaggregation

Add --disaggregation-transfer-backend nixl to your launch command:

python3 -m sglang.launch_server \
    --model-path deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3 \
    --disaggregation-mode prefill \
    --disaggregation-transfer-backend nixl \  # Use NIXL instead of Mooncake
    --tp-size 8 \
    ...

NIXL vs Mooncake

Feature	NIXL	Mooncake
Memory registration	DMA-BUF (kernel native)	nvidia_peermem (kernel module)
Transport	UCX (TCP/RDMA/SHM)	RDMA or TCP
Kernel module required	No	nvidia_peermem (may fail)
Open Kernel Module compatible	Yes	No (fails to load)
Recommended for	NVIDIA Open driver, B200	Legacy systems with nvidia_peermem

Recommendation: Use NIXL for new deployments, especially on systems with NVIDIA Open Kernel Module.

Installation Workflow

Pre-requisites (Ubuntu 24.04)

Ubuntu 24.04 doesn't include pip by default. Install it first:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y python3-pip

Step 1: Environment Setup

To set up the environment, ensure CUDA is properly configured:

export CUDA_HOME=/usr/local/cuda
export PATH=$CUDA_HOME/bin:$PATH
export BUILD_TYPE=blackwell  # or "all" for general, "hopper" for H100

Step 2: Clone and Install

To install SGLang from source:

mkdir -p /sgl-workspace && cd /sgl-workspace

# Clone specific version
git clone -b v0.5.8 --depth 1 https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang.git
cd sglang

# Install sgl-kernel first (for CUDA 12.9)
pip install sgl-kernel==0.3.21

# Install SGLang with blackwell support
pip install -e "python[blackwell]" --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu129

Step 3: Install Additional Dependencies

To install required NVIDIA libraries and NIXL:

# NVIDIA libraries (required)
pip install nvidia-nccl-cu12==2.28.3 --force-reinstall --no-deps
pip install nvidia-cudnn-cu12==9.16.0.29 --force-reinstall --no-deps

# NIXL for KV cache transfer (RECOMMENDED for disaggregation mode)
pip install --break-system-packages nixl==0.9.0
# Re-install NVIDIA libs after NIXL (NIXL may downgrade them)
pip install nvidia-nccl-cu12==2.28.3 --force-reinstall --no-deps
pip install nvidia-cudnn-cu12==9.16.0.29 --force-reinstall --no-deps

⚠️ Important: NIXL is required for prefill-decode disaggregation mode. If you skip NIXL, you'll need nvidia_peermem kernel module (often fails on NVIDIA Open driver).

Step 4: Configure LD_LIBRARY_PATH

To fix library loading issues, run scripts/setup_env.sh or manually set:

# Collect all nvidia pip package lib paths
NVIDIA_LIB_PATHS=""
for d in /usr/local/lib/python3.12/dist-packages/nvidia/*/lib; do
    [ -d "$d" ] && NVIDIA_LIB_PATHS="${d}:${NVIDIA_LIB_PATHS}"
done
for d in $HOME/.local/lib/python3.12/site-packages/nvidia/*/lib; do
    [ -d "$d" ] && NVIDIA_LIB_PATHS="${d}:${NVIDIA_LIB_PATHS}"
done
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${CUDA_HOME}/lib64:${NVIDIA_LIB_PATHS}${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}

Common Errors and Fixes

Error: DeepSeek-V3 FP8 outputs garbage on Blackwell (B200)

Symptom:

Model outputs garbage characters like "################" or random symbols

Log Warning:

WARNING model_config.py:872: DeepGemm is enabled but the scale_fmt of checkpoint is not ue8m0. This might cause accuracy degradation on Blackwell.

Diagnosis: The DeepSeek-V3 official FP8 checkpoint uses mscale format which is incompatible with DeepGEMM on Blackwell (B200) GPUs. DeepGEMM expects ue8m0 scale format.

Workaround: Use vLLM instead of SGLang for DeepSeek-V3 on Blackwell:

# vLLM handles the FP8 scale format correctly
vllm serve deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3 --tensor-parallel-size 8 --port 8000 --trust-remote-code

Status: Known issue as of SGLang 0.5.8 on Blackwell GPUs. Works correctly on H100/A100.

Framework	DeepSeek-V3 FP8 on Blackwell
SGLang 0.5.8	❌ Garbage output
vLLM 0.14.1	✅ Works correctly

Error: Cannot uninstall typing_extensions (Ubuntu 24.04)

Symptom:

ERROR: Cannot uninstall typing_extensions 4.10.0, RECORD file not found.
Hint: The package was installed by debian.

Diagnosis: Ubuntu 24.04 installs typing_extensions as a system package managed by apt.

Fix:

pip install -e "python[blackwell]" --ignore-installed typing_extensions --break-system-packages

Error: sgl-kernel ABI mismatch (PyTorch user/system conflict)

Symptom:

ImportError: .../sgl_kernel/sm100/common_ops.abi3.so: undefined symbol: _ZN3c104cuda29c10_cuda_check_implementationEiPKcS2_ib

Diagnosis: PyTorch installed in both user (~/.local/lib/python3.12/site-packages/) and system (/usr/local/lib/python3.12/dist-packages/) directories with different versions.

Check:

pip3 show torch | grep -E "Version|Location"
ls /usr/local/lib/python3.12/dist-packages/ | grep torch
ls ~/.local/lib/python3.12/site-packages/ | grep torch

Fix: Remove user-installed torch to use system version:

pip3 uninstall torch torchvision torchaudio -y --break-system-packages
python3 -c "import torch; print(torch.__version__)"  # Should show system version

Error: libcudnn.so.9 not found

Symptom:

ImportError: libcudnn.so.9: cannot open shared object file

Fix:

pip install nvidia-cudnn-cu12==9.16.0.29 --force-reinstall --no-deps
# Then set LD_LIBRARY_PATH as described above

Error: libcusparseLt.so.0 not found

Symptom:

ImportError: libcusparseLt.so.0: cannot open shared object file

Fix:

pip install nvidia-cusparselt-cu12
# Then set LD_LIBRARY_PATH as described above

Error: assert self.total_num_heads % tp_size == 0

Symptom:

AssertionError: assert self.total_num_heads % tp_size == 0

Diagnosis: The model's attention head count is not divisible by the tensor parallelism size.

Fix: Choose a --tp value that divides the model's attention head count:

Model	Attention Heads	Valid TP Values
Qwen2.5-7B	28	1, 2, 4, 7, 14
Qwen2.5-72B	64	1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32
Llama-3-8B	32	1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32
Llama-3-70B	64	1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32
DeepSeek-R1	128	1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64

To find the attention head count for any model:

python3 -c "from transformers import AutoConfig; c = AutoConfig.from_pretrained('MODEL_NAME'); print(f'Attention heads: {c.num_attention_heads}')"

Error: NCCL errors or timeouts

Fix:

pip install nvidia-nccl-cu12==2.28.3 --force-reinstall --no-deps

Error: sgl-kernel version mismatch

Symptom: SGLang installs an older sgl-kernel version than expected.

Note: As of v0.5.6.post2, SGLang's dependencies pin sgl-kernel to 0.3.19, so even if you pre-install 0.3.21, it will be downgraded during SGLang installation. This is expected behavior and 0.3.19 works correctly.

If you need a specific version: Install sgl-kernel AFTER SGLang:

pip install -e "python[blackwell]" ...
pip install sgl-kernel==0.3.21 --force-reinstall --no-deps  # if needed

Error: sgl-kernel ABI incompatibility (undefined symbol)

Symptom:

ImportError: .../sgl_kernel/sm100/common_ops.abi3.so: undefined symbol: _ZN3c104cuda29c10_cuda_check_implementationEiPKcS2_ib

Diagnosis: sgl-kernel was compiled against a different PyTorch version than currently installed. This commonly happens when:

FlashInfer installation upgrades PyTorch to 2.10
vLLM installation changes PyTorch to 2.9.1
Manual PyTorch version changes

Fix:

First, check your current PyTorch version:

python3 -c "import torch; print(torch.__version__)"

For vLLM compatibility (PyTorch 2.9.1), reinstall sgl-kernel:

pip install torch==2.9.1+cu129 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu129 --force-reinstall
pip install sgl-kernel==0.3.21 --force-reinstall --no-deps
pip install nvidia-nccl-cu12==2.28.3 nvidia-cudnn-cu12==9.16.0.29 --force-reinstall --no-deps

For standalone SGLang (no vLLM), use the PyTorch version from SGLang installation.

Root Cause: The sgl-kernel binary is compiled against specific PyTorch CUDA APIs. When PyTorch version changes, the ABI symbols may not match.

Error: FlashInfer changes PyTorch version

Symptom: After installing FlashInfer, other packages fail with version conflicts.

Diagnosis: flashinfer-python and flashinfer-cubin have their own PyTorch dependencies that may override your installed version.

Fix: After FlashInfer installation, always reinstall the correct PyTorch and NVIDIA libraries:

# For vLLM compatibility
pip install torch==2.9.1+cu129 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu129 --force-reinstall
pip install nvidia-nccl-cu12==2.28.3 nvidia-cudnn-cu12==9.16.0.29 --force-reinstall --no-deps
pip install sgl-kernel==0.3.21 --force-reinstall --no-deps

Error: num_max_dispatch_tokens_per_rank assertion

Symptom:

assert self.num_max_dispatch_tokens_per_rank <= 1024
AssertionError

Diagnosis: SGLANG_DEEPEP_NUM_MAX_DISPATCH_TOKENS_PER_RANK is set to a value > 1024.

Fix: Set the value to 1024 or less:

export SGLANG_DEEPEP_NUM_MAX_DISPATCH_TOKENS_PER_RANK=1024

Error: Mooncake not installed

Symptom:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mooncake'
ImportError: Please install mooncake by following the instructions...

Diagnosis: Using --disaggregation-mode prefill/decode without Mooncake installed.

Fix:

pip install --break-system-packages mooncake-transfer-engine==0.3.8.post1

Error: NIXL library version mismatch

Symptom: Installing NIXL downgrades NVIDIA libraries, causing import errors.

NIXL 会降级以下库:

nvidia-nccl-cu12: 2.28.3 → 2.27.5
nvidia-cudnn-cu12: 9.16.0.29 → 9.10.2.21
nvidia-nvshmem-cu12: 安装 3.4.5 (pip 包版本)

Fix: After installing NIXL, reinstall NVIDIA libraries:

pip install nvidia-nccl-cu12==2.28.3 --force-reinstall --no-deps
pip install nvidia-cudnn-cu12==9.16.0.29 --force-reinstall --no-deps

关于 nvidia-nvshmem-cu12: NIXL 安装的 nvidia-nvshmem-cu12 (3.4.5) 是 pip 包版本，不会影响 DeepEP。 DeepEP 使用自编译的 NVSHMEM (3.5.19，带 IBGDA 支持)，通过 unified-env.sh 中的 LD_PRELOAD 强制加载。

Error: DeepGEMM compile_deep_gemm OOM (CUDA out of memory)

Symptom:

torch.OutOfMemoryError: CUDA out of memory. Tried to allocate 7.00 GiB. GPU 0 has a total capacity of 178.35 GiB of which 2.31 GiB is free.

Diagnosis: compile_deep_gemm 默认在单卡上加载整个模型。DeepSeek-V3 (671B) 远超单卡 183GB 显存。

Fix: 必须指定 --tp 参数，与后续 launch_server 的 --tp-size 一致：

# 错误: 不加 --tp，单卡加载 671B 模型 → OOM
python3 -m sglang.compile_deep_gemm --model-path deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3

# 正确: 用 TP=8 分布到 8 卡
python3 -m sglang.compile_deep_gemm --model-path deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3 --tp 8

注意: cubin 缓存路径是 ~/.cache/deep_gemm/cache/（不是 ~/.deep_gemm/cache/），预期产出 ~692 个文件。

Error: DeepGEMM JIT compilation causes DeepEP dispatch timeout

Symptom:

RuntimeError: DeepEP error: timeout (dispatch CPU)
# 或者 server warmup 阶段长时间卡住

Diagnosis: MoE 模型首次启动时，DeepGEMM JIT 编译 ~692 个 cubin 文件耗时 10-20 分钟。在多 DP rank 或 PD disaggregation 场景下，不同 rank 编译速度不同步，导致 DeepEP all-to-all 通信超时。

Fix: 在启动 server 前预编译 DeepGEMM：

source /opt/deepep/unified-env.sh
export HF_HOME=/lssd/huggingface
# IMPORTANT: --tp 必须与 server 启动时的 --tp-size 一致，避免单卡 OOM
python3 -m sglang.compile_deep_gemm --model-path deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3 --tp 8
# 编译完成后再启动 server

Error: Direct request to Prefill node (bootstrap_room assertion)

Symptom:

AssertionError: bootstrap_room should not be None

Diagnosis: 直接向 Prefill 节点发送请求，而非通过 sglang-router。

Fix: 请求必须通过 sglang-router 路由：

# 错误: curl http://prefill-ip:30000/v1/chat/completions ...
# 正确: curl http://router-ip:30080/v1/chat/completions ...

Error: Direct request to Decode node (bootstrap room id)

Symptom:

400 Bad Request: Disaggregated request received without bootstrap room id

Diagnosis: 直接向 Decode 节点发送请求，而非通过 sglang-router。

Fix: 同上，请求必须通过 sglang-router。PD disaggregation 模式下，Prefill 和 Decode 不接受直接客户端请求。

Error: dist-init-addr bind failure on Decode node

Symptom:

zmq.error.ZMQError: No such device (addr: tcp://10.8.0.25:5757)

Diagnosis: --dist-init-addr 使用了 Prefill 节点的特定 IP，Decode 节点无法 bind 该地址。

Fix: 使用 0.0.0.0 代替特定 IP：

# 错误: --dist-init-addr 10.8.0.25:5757
# 正确: --dist-init-addr 0.0.0.0:5757

Error: Deprecated environment variable warning

Symptom:

UserWarning: Environment variable SGL_DISABLE_TP_MEMORY_INBALANCE_CHECK is deprecated

Fix: Use the new variable name:

# Old (deprecated)
export SGL_DISABLE_TP_MEMORY_INBALANCE_CHECK=1

# New
export SGLANG_DISABLE_TP_MEMORY_INBALANCE_CHECK=1

DeepGEMM Precompilation (MoE Models)

MoE 模型（DeepSeek-V3/R1 等）使用 DeepGEMM 进行 FP8 矩阵乘法。DeepGEMM 采用 JIT 编译，首次启动时会编译 ~692 个 cubin 文件。

问题: 在 PD disaggregation 或多 DP rank 场景下，JIT 编译耗时 10-20 分钟，导致 DP rank 间不同步，触发 DeepEP dispatch 超时错误。

解决方案: 在启动 server 前预编译 DeepGEMM：

source /opt/deepep/unified-env.sh
export HF_HOME=/lssd/huggingface

# 预编译 DeepGEMM cubin（针对特定模型的 GEMM 维度）
# IMPORTANT: --tp 必须与 server 启动时的 --tp-size 一致
# DeepSeek-V3 (671B) 单卡放不下，不加 --tp 会 OOM
python3 -m sglang.compile_deep_gemm --model-path deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3 --tp 8

# 验证 cubin 缓存
ls ~/.cache/deep_gemm/cache/ | wc -l
# 预期: ~692 个文件（DeepSeek-V3 架构）

注意:

--tp 参数: 必须与后续 launch_server 的 --tp-size 一致。不加 --tp 默认单卡加载，DeepSeek-V3 (671B) 会触发 CUDA OOM
DeepGEMM 编译结果是半模型特定的：基于模型的 GEMM 维度（M/N/K），相同架构（如 DeepSeek-V3 和 DeepSeek-R1）可共享缓存
不同架构的模型（如 Qwen-MoE vs DeepSeek）需要重新编译
cubin 缓存目录: ~/.cache/deep_gemm/cache/（注意不是 ~/.deep_gemm/cache/）
预编译后缓存持久化在磁盘上，重启后无需重新编译

Starting the Server

To start the SGLang server:

# IMPORTANT: 必须先加载 DeepEP 环境（设置 LD_PRELOAD 等）
source /opt/deepep/unified-env.sh

# 设置 HuggingFace 缓存目录（可选，使用 LSSD 加速）
export HF_HOME=/lssd/huggingface

# MoE 模型: 先预编译 DeepGEMM（避免 warmup 超时）
# --tp 必须与 launch_server 的 --tp-size 一致，避免单卡 OOM
python3 -m sglang.compile_deep_gemm --model-path deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3 --tp 8

# Start server (adjust tp based on model architecture)
python3 -m sglang.launch_server \
    --model-path Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct \
    --port 30000 \
    --host 0.0.0.0 \
    --tp 4 \
    --trust-remote-code

注意: 如果不 source unified-env.sh，DeepEP 会因为找不到正确的 NVSHMEM 库而报错。

Disaggregation Mode (Prefill-Decode Separation)

For production DeepSeek-V3/R1 deployments, SGLang supports prefill-decode disaggregation where prefill and decode phases run on separate nodes.

Prerequisites

Transfer backend - one of:
- NIXL (recommended): pip install nixl==0.9.0
- Mooncake: pip install mooncake-transfer-engine==0.3.8.post1 (requires nvidia_peermem)
DeepEP for MoE all-to-all communication
DeepEP config files for expert placement

sglang-router for request routing (必须):

pip install --break-system-packages sglang-router

Architecture

PD disaggregation 的请求流程：

Client → sglang-router → Prefill Node (port 30000)
                       → Decode Node  (port 30001)

IMPORTANT: 客户端请求必须发送到 sglang-router，不能直接发送到 Prefill 或 Decode 节点。

直接请求 Prefill: AssertionError: bootstrap_room should not be None
直接请求 Decode: 400 Disaggregated request received without bootstrap room id

RDMA Memory Registration Errors (Mooncake)

When running with Mooncake, you may see RDMA memory registration errors:

RdmaTransport: Failed to register memory: addr 0x... length 37896192

Root Cause: nvidia_peermem module is not loaded or incompatible with your driver.

Diagnosis:

# Check if nvidia_peermem loads
sudo modprobe nvidia_peermem
# If you see: "could not insert 'nvidia_peermem': Invalid argument"
# This means you're using NVIDIA Open Kernel Module, which is incompatible

Solutions (in order of preference):

Switch to NIXL backend (recommended):

pip install --break-system-packages nixl==0.9.0
# Add to launch command:
--disaggregation-transfer-backend nixl

Use TCP fallback (slower): Mooncake will automatically fall back to TCP, but this significantly impacts multi-node performance.
Load nvidia_peermem (only works with proprietary driver):
```
sudo modprobe nvidia_peermem
```

Note: NIXL uses DMA-BUF which is built into the Linux kernel and doesn't require nvidia_peermem.

1P1D Quick Start (Minimal DeepSeek-V3 Example)

验证过的最小化 1P1D 部署步骤（2 节点 B200）：

Step 1: 两节点预编译 DeepGEMM

# 在 Prefill 和 Decode 节点上都执行
source /opt/deepep/unified-env.sh
export HF_HOME=/lssd/huggingface
# --tp 8 必须加，否则单卡加载 671B 模型会 OOM
python3 -m sglang.compile_deep_gemm --model-path deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3 --tp 8
# 验证: ls ~/.cache/deep_gemm/cache/ | wc -l  → 预期 ~692

Step 2: Prefill Node (e.g. 10.8.0.25)

source /opt/deepep/unified-env.sh
export HF_HOME=/lssd/huggingface

SGLANG_DEEPEP_NUM_MAX_DISPATCH_TOKENS_PER_RANK=1024 \

    --dist-init-addr 0.0.0.0:5757 \
    --moe-dense-tp-size 1 \
    --enable-dp-attention \
    --moe-a2a-backend deepep \
    --deepep-mode normal \
    --disable-cuda-graph \
    --watchdog-timeout 1000000

Step 3: Decode Node (e.g. 10.8.0.71)

source /opt/deepep/unified-env.sh
export HF_HOME=/lssd/huggingface

SGLANG_DEEPEP_NUM_MAX_DISPATCH_TOKENS_PER_RANK=1024 \
NCCL_SOCKET_IFNAME=enp0s19 \
GLOO_SOCKET_IFNAME=enp0s19 \
python3 -m sglang.launch_server \
    --model-path deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3 \
    --port 30001 \
    --host 0.0.0.0 \
    --tp-size 8 \
    --trust-remote-code \
    --disaggregation-mode decode \
    --disaggregation-transfer-backend nixl \
    --dist-init-addr 0.0.0.0:5757 \
    --moe-dense-tp-size 1 \
    --enable-dp-attention \
    --moe-a2a-backend deepep \
    --deepep-mode normal \
    --disable-cuda-graph \
    --watchdog-timeout 1000000

Step 4: sglang-router (在 Prefill 节点或独立节点上)

pip install --break-system-packages sglang-router

python3 -m sglang_router.launch_router \
    --pd-disaggregation \
    --mini-lb \
    --prefill http://10.8.0.25:30000 \
    --decode http://10.8.0.71:30001 \
    --host 0.0.0.0 \
    --port 30080

Step 5: 测试

# 请求必须发送到 router (port 30080)，不能直接发到 Prefill/Decode
curl http://10.8.0.25:30080/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}],
    "max_tokens": 50
  }'

dist-init-addr 注意事项

CRITICAL: --dist-init-addr 必须使用 0.0.0.0:5757，不能使用特定 IP（如 10.8.0.25:5757）。

原因：SGLang 内部使用 dist-init-addr 进行 ZMQ TCP bind。如果使用特定 IP，Decode 节点会尝试 bind 到 Prefill 节点的 IP，导致 bind 失败。

Testing the Server

To verify the server is working:

# Health check
curl http://localhost:30000/health

# Chat completion test
curl http://localhost:30000/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}],
    "max_tokens": 50
  }'

Diagnostic Script

To diagnose installation issues, run scripts/diagnose.py:

python3 scripts/diagnose.py

This script checks:

CUDA installation and version
PyTorch CUDA compatibility
SGLang and sgl-kernel versions
Required library availability
GPU detection and memory
LD_LIBRARY_PATH configuration
DeepEP installation (required for MoE models)

DeepEP Dependency

DeepEP (DeepSeek Expert Parallelism) is required for running MoE (Mixture of Experts) models:

DeepSeek-V3
DeepSeek-R1
Mixtral (with Expert Parallelism)

Detecting DeepEP

The diagnostic script automatically checks for DeepEP. If not installed, it will prompt:

⚠ DeepEP: Not installed
  DeepEP is required for MoE models (DeepSeek-V3, DeepSeek-R1)
  To install DeepEP, use the deepep-installer skill:
    /deepep-installer

Installing DeepEP

If DeepEP is not installed, use the deepep-installer skill:

# Option 1: Use the deepep-installer skill (recommended)
/deepep-installer

# Option 2: Run the installation script directly
bash /path/to/gpu-tpu-pedia/gpu/deepep/install.sh

The deepep-installer skill handles:

CUDA and gdrcopy setup
NVSHMEM with IBGDA support
DeepEP compilation for your GPU architecture
Environment variable configuration

Workflow Integration

When diagnosing SGLang installation, if DeepEP is missing and the user wants to run MoE models:

Detect DeepEP is not installed via diagnose.py
Prompt user to run /deepep-installer skill
After DeepEP installation, re-run SGLang diagnostic
Proceed with SGLang server startup

Recommended Installation Order

For MoE models (DeepSeek, Qwen-MoE), the recommended installation order is:

DeepEP first (if needed for MoE models)
- gdrcopy → NVSHMEM → DeepEP
- Use the deepep-installer skill
Then SGLang
- SGLang installation script will detect and use DeepEP if available

This ensures DeepEP is properly configured before SGLang tries to use it.

SGLang/vLLM Coexistence

SGLang and vLLM can be installed on the same system, but they have some dependency version conflicts (grpcio, timm, xgrammar, etc.). For production use:

Recommended: Use separate Python virtual environments
Alternative: Accept the version mismatches (usually works for basic inference)

Common conflicts when both are installed:

grpcio: SGLang wants 1.75.1, vLLM may install 1.76.0
timm: SGLang wants 1.0.16, vLLM may install 1.0.24
xgrammar: SGLang wants 0.1.27, vLLM may install 0.1.29

Pre-downloading DeepSeek Weights (Optional)

For faster DeepSeek-V3/R1 model loading, you can pre-download weights from GCS instead of HuggingFace:

# Check if already downloaded
DEEPSEEK_PATH="/lssd/huggingface/hub/models--deepseek-ai--DeepSeek-V3"

if [ -d "$DEEPSEEK_PATH" ]; then
    echo "✓ DeepSeek-V3 weights already exist: $DEEPSEEK_PATH"
    du -sh "$DEEPSEEK_PATH"
else
    echo "Downloading DeepSeek-V3 weights from GCS..."
    gcloud storage cp -r gs://chrisya-gpu-pg-ase1/huggingface /lssd/
    echo "✓ DeepSeek-V3 weights downloaded"
fi

Notes:

GCS bucket gs://chrisya-gpu-pg-ase1/huggingface contains pre-cached DeepSeek-V3 FP8 weights
Downloading from GCS is much faster than HuggingFace (same-region high bandwidth)
Weights are ~600GB, including complete safetensors files
Requires LSSD to be mounted first (use /lssd-mounter skill)

references/troubleshooting.md - Extended troubleshooting guide

Unified Environment Script

After installing DeepEP + SGLang + vLLM, use the unified environment script:

source /opt/deepep/unified-env.sh

This script sets up all necessary environment variables for DeepEP, NVSHMEM, gdrcopy, and NVIDIA libraries.

Recommended Multi-Framework Installation Order

When installing SGLang alongside DeepEP and vLLM:

1. /lssd-mounter     → Mount high-speed local SSD
2. /deepep-installer → Install DeepEP (已使用 PyTorch 2.9.1)
3. /sglang-installer → Install SGLang (this skill)
4. /vllm-installer   → Install vLLM (可选)

注意: DeepEP 现在默认使用 PyTorch 2.9.1 编译，与 SGLang 0.5.8 保持一致，无需重新编译。

Post-Installation Verification:

source /opt/deepep/unified-env.sh
python3 -c "
import torch; print(f'PyTorch: {torch.__version__}')
import deep_ep; print('DeepEP: OK')
import sglang; print(f'SGLang: {sglang.__version__}')
import sgl_kernel; print(f'sgl-kernel: {sgl_kernel.__version__}')
import vllm; print(f'vLLM: {vllm.__version__}')
"

Mooncake Transfer Engine

Mooncake is required for prefill-decode disaggregation mode, which separates prefill and decode phases across different nodes for production deployments.

Installing Mooncake

pip install --break-system-packages mooncake-transfer-engine==0.3.8.post1

Verifying Mooncake

python3 -c "from mooncake.engine import TransferEngine; print('Mooncake OK')"

When is Mooncake Needed?

Mooncake is required when using:

--disaggregation-mode prefill or --disaggregation-mode decode
Multi-node deployments with KV cache transfer
Production DeepSeek-V3/R1 deployments with prefill-decode separation

Note: For single-node testing without disaggregation, Mooncake is not required.

NIXL Transfer Engine (Recommended)

NIXL (NVIDIA Inference Xfer Library) is an alternative to Mooncake that uses DMA-BUF instead of nvidia_peermem. It's the recommended choice when:

Using NVIDIA Open Kernel Module (nvidia_peermem won't load)
nvidia_peermem fails with "Invalid argument" error
You want a more portable solution that doesn't depend on kernel modules

Installing NIXL

pip install --break-system-packages nixl==0.9.0

# IMPORTANT: NIXL may downgrade NVIDIA libraries, reinstall correct versions:
pip install nvidia-nccl-cu12==2.28.3 --force-reinstall --no-deps
pip install nvidia-cudnn-cu12==9.16.0.29 --force-reinstall --no-deps

Verifying NIXL

python3 -c "import nixl; print('NIXL OK')"

Using NIXL for Disaggregation

Add --disaggregation-transfer-backend nixl to your launch command:

python3 -m sglang.launch_server \
    --model-path deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3 \
    --disaggregation-mode prefill \
    --disaggregation-transfer-backend nixl \  # Use NIXL instead of Mooncake
    --tp-size 8 \
    ...

NIXL vs Mooncake

Feature	NIXL	Mooncake
Memory registration	DMA-BUF (kernel native)	nvidia_peermem (kernel module)
Transport	UCX (TCP/RDMA/SHM)	RDMA or TCP
Kernel module required	No	nvidia_peermem (may fail)
Open Kernel Module compatible	Yes	No (fails to load)
Recommended for	NVIDIA Open driver, B200	Legacy systems with nvidia_peermem

Recommendation: Use NIXL for new deployments, especially on systems with NVIDIA Open Kernel Module.

Installation Workflow

Pre-requisites (Ubuntu 24.04)

Ubuntu 24.04 doesn't include pip by default. Install it first:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y python3-pip

Step 1: Environment Setup

To set up the environment, ensure CUDA is properly configured:

export CUDA_HOME=/usr/local/cuda
export PATH=$CUDA_HOME/bin:$PATH
export BUILD_TYPE=blackwell  # or "all" for general, "hopper" for H100

Step 2: Clone and Install

To install SGLang from source:

mkdir -p /sgl-workspace && cd /sgl-workspace

# Clone specific version
git clone -b v0.5.8 --depth 1 https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang.git
cd sglang

# Install sgl-kernel first (for CUDA 12.9)
pip install sgl-kernel==0.3.21

# Install SGLang with blackwell support
pip install -e "python[blackwell]" --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu129

Step 3: Install Additional Dependencies

To install required NVIDIA libraries and NIXL:

# NVIDIA libraries (required)
pip install nvidia-nccl-cu12==2.28.3 --force-reinstall --no-deps
pip install nvidia-cudnn-cu12==9.16.0.29 --force-reinstall --no-deps

# NIXL for KV cache transfer (RECOMMENDED for disaggregation mode)
pip install --break-system-packages nixl==0.9.0
# Re-install NVIDIA libs after NIXL (NIXL may downgrade them)
pip install nvidia-nccl-cu12==2.28.3 --force-reinstall --no-deps
pip install nvidia-cudnn-cu12==9.16.0.29 --force-reinstall --no-deps

⚠️ Important: NIXL is required for prefill-decode disaggregation mode. If you skip NIXL, you'll need nvidia_peermem kernel module (often fails on NVIDIA Open driver).

Step 4: Configure LD_LIBRARY_PATH

To fix library loading issues, run scripts/setup_env.sh or manually set:

# Collect all nvidia pip package lib paths
NVIDIA_LIB_PATHS=""
for d in /usr/local/lib/python3.12/dist-packages/nvidia/*/lib; do
    [ -d "$d" ] && NVIDIA_LIB_PATHS="${d}:${NVIDIA_LIB_PATHS}"
done
for d in $HOME/.local/lib/python3.12/site-packages/nvidia/*/lib; do
    [ -d "$d" ] && NVIDIA_LIB_PATHS="${d}:${NVIDIA_LIB_PATHS}"
done
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${CUDA_HOME}/lib64:${NVIDIA_LIB_PATHS}${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}

Common Errors and Fixes

Error: DeepSeek-V3 FP8 outputs garbage on Blackwell (B200)

Symptom:

Model outputs garbage characters like "################" or random symbols

Log Warning:

WARNING model_config.py:872: DeepGemm is enabled but the scale_fmt of checkpoint is not ue8m0. This might cause accuracy degradation on Blackwell.

Diagnosis: The DeepSeek-V3 official FP8 checkpoint uses mscale format which is incompatible with DeepGEMM on Blackwell (B200) GPUs. DeepGEMM expects ue8m0 scale format.

Workaround: Use vLLM instead of SGLang for DeepSeek-V3 on Blackwell:

# vLLM handles the FP8 scale format correctly
vllm serve deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3 --tensor-parallel-size 8 --port 8000 --trust-remote-code

Status: Known issue as of SGLang 0.5.8 on Blackwell GPUs. Works correctly on H100/A100.

Framework	DeepSeek-V3 FP8 on Blackwell
SGLang 0.5.8	❌ Garbage output
vLLM 0.14.1	✅ Works correctly

Error: Cannot uninstall typing_extensions (Ubuntu 24.04)

Symptom:

ERROR: Cannot uninstall typing_extensions 4.10.0, RECORD file not found.
Hint: The package was installed by debian.

Diagnosis: Ubuntu 24.04 installs typing_extensions as a system package managed by apt.

Fix:

pip install -e "python[blackwell]" --ignore-installed typing_extensions --break-system-packages

Error: sgl-kernel ABI mismatch (PyTorch user/system conflict)

Symptom:

ImportError: .../sgl_kernel/sm100/common_ops.abi3.so: undefined symbol: _ZN3c104cuda29c10_cuda_check_implementationEiPKcS2_ib

Diagnosis: PyTorch installed in both user (~/.local/lib/python3.12/site-packages/) and system (/usr/local/lib/python3.12/dist-packages/) directories with different versions.

Check:

pip3 show torch | grep -E "Version|Location"
ls /usr/local/lib/python3.12/dist-packages/ | grep torch
ls ~/.local/lib/python3.12/site-packages/ | grep torch

Fix: Remove user-installed torch to use system version:

pip3 uninstall torch torchvision torchaudio -y --break-system-packages
python3 -c "import torch; print(torch.__version__)"  # Should show system version

Error: libcudnn.so.9 not found

Symptom:

ImportError: libcudnn.so.9: cannot open shared object file

Fix:

pip install nvidia-cudnn-cu12==9.16.0.29 --force-reinstall --no-deps
# Then set LD_LIBRARY_PATH as described above

Error: libcusparseLt.so.0 not found

Symptom:

ImportError: libcusparseLt.so.0: cannot open shared object file

Fix:

pip install nvidia-cusparselt-cu12
# Then set LD_LIBRARY_PATH as described above

Error: assert self.total_num_heads % tp_size == 0

Symptom:

AssertionError: assert self.total_num_heads % tp_size == 0

Diagnosis: The model's attention head count is not divisible by the tensor parallelism size.

Fix: Choose a --tp value that divides the model's attention head count:

Model	Attention Heads	Valid TP Values
Qwen2.5-7B	28	1, 2, 4, 7, 14
Qwen2.5-72B	64	1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32
Llama-3-8B	32	1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32
Llama-3-70B	64	1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32
DeepSeek-R1	128	1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64

To find the attention head count for any model:

python3 -c "from transformers import AutoConfig; c = AutoConfig.from_pretrained('MODEL_NAME'); print(f'Attention heads: {c.num_attention_heads}')"

Error: NCCL errors or timeouts

Fix:

pip install nvidia-nccl-cu12==2.28.3 --force-reinstall --no-deps

Error: sgl-kernel version mismatch

Symptom: SGLang installs an older sgl-kernel version than expected.

If you need a specific version: Install sgl-kernel AFTER SGLang:

pip install -e "python[blackwell]" ...
pip install sgl-kernel==0.3.21 --force-reinstall --no-deps  # if needed

Error: sgl-kernel ABI incompatibility (undefined symbol)

Symptom:

ImportError: .../sgl_kernel/sm100/common_ops.abi3.so: undefined symbol: _ZN3c104cuda29c10_cuda_check_implementationEiPKcS2_ib

Diagnosis: sgl-kernel was compiled against a different PyTorch version than currently installed. This commonly happens when:

FlashInfer installation upgrades PyTorch to 2.10
vLLM installation changes PyTorch to 2.9.1
Manual PyTorch version changes

Fix:

First, check your current PyTorch version:

python3 -c "import torch; print(torch.__version__)"

For vLLM compatibility (PyTorch 2.9.1), reinstall sgl-kernel:

pip install torch==2.9.1+cu129 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu129 --force-reinstall
pip install sgl-kernel==0.3.21 --force-reinstall --no-deps
pip install nvidia-nccl-cu12==2.28.3 nvidia-cudnn-cu12==9.16.0.29 --force-reinstall --no-deps

For standalone SGLang (no vLLM), use the PyTorch version from SGLang installation.

Root Cause: The sgl-kernel binary is compiled against specific PyTorch CUDA APIs. When PyTorch version changes, the ABI symbols may not match.

Error: FlashInfer changes PyTorch version

Symptom: After installing FlashInfer, other packages fail with version conflicts.

Diagnosis: flashinfer-python and flashinfer-cubin have their own PyTorch dependencies that may override your installed version.

Fix: After FlashInfer installation, always reinstall the correct PyTorch and NVIDIA libraries:

# For vLLM compatibility
pip install torch==2.9.1+cu129 --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu129 --force-reinstall
pip install nvidia-nccl-cu12==2.28.3 nvidia-cudnn-cu12==9.16.0.29 --force-reinstall --no-deps
pip install sgl-kernel==0.3.21 --force-reinstall --no-deps

Error: num_max_dispatch_tokens_per_rank assertion

Symptom:

assert self.num_max_dispatch_tokens_per_rank <= 1024
AssertionError

Diagnosis: SGLANG_DEEPEP_NUM_MAX_DISPATCH_TOKENS_PER_RANK is set to a value > 1024.

Fix: Set the value to 1024 or less:

export SGLANG_DEEPEP_NUM_MAX_DISPATCH_TOKENS_PER_RANK=1024

Error: Mooncake not installed

Symptom:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mooncake'
ImportError: Please install mooncake by following the instructions...

Diagnosis: Using --disaggregation-mode prefill/decode without Mooncake installed.

Fix:

pip install --break-system-packages mooncake-transfer-engine==0.3.8.post1

Error: NIXL library version mismatch

Symptom: Installing NIXL downgrades NVIDIA libraries, causing import errors.

NIXL 会降级以下库:

nvidia-nccl-cu12: 2.28.3 → 2.27.5
nvidia-cudnn-cu12: 9.16.0.29 → 9.10.2.21
nvidia-nvshmem-cu12: 安装 3.4.5 (pip 包版本)

Fix: After installing NIXL, reinstall NVIDIA libraries:

pip install nvidia-nccl-cu12==2.28.3 --force-reinstall --no-deps
pip install nvidia-cudnn-cu12==9.16.0.29 --force-reinstall --no-deps

Error: DeepGEMM compile_deep_gemm OOM (CUDA out of memory)

Symptom:

torch.OutOfMemoryError: CUDA out of memory. Tried to allocate 7.00 GiB. GPU 0 has a total capacity of 178.35 GiB of which 2.31 GiB is free.

Diagnosis: compile_deep_gemm 默认在单卡上加载整个模型。DeepSeek-V3 (671B) 远超单卡 183GB 显存。

Fix: 必须指定 --tp 参数，与后续 launch_server 的 --tp-size 一致：

# 错误: 不加 --tp，单卡加载 671B 模型 → OOM
python3 -m sglang.compile_deep_gemm --model-path deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3

# 正确: 用 TP=8 分布到 8 卡
python3 -m sglang.compile_deep_gemm --model-path deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3 --tp 8

注意: cubin 缓存路径是 ~/.cache/deep_gemm/cache/（不是 ~/.deep_gemm/cache/），预期产出 ~692 个文件。

Error: DeepGEMM JIT compilation causes DeepEP dispatch timeout

Symptom:

RuntimeError: DeepEP error: timeout (dispatch CPU)
# 或者 server warmup 阶段长时间卡住

Fix: 在启动 server 前预编译 DeepGEMM：

source /opt/deepep/unified-env.sh
export HF_HOME=/lssd/huggingface
# IMPORTANT: --tp 必须与 server 启动时的 --tp-size 一致，避免单卡 OOM
python3 -m sglang.compile_deep_gemm --model-path deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3 --tp 8
# 编译完成后再启动 server

Error: Direct request to Prefill node (bootstrap_room assertion)

Symptom:

AssertionError: bootstrap_room should not be None

Diagnosis: 直接向 Prefill 节点发送请求，而非通过 sglang-router。

Fix: 请求必须通过 sglang-router 路由：

# 错误: curl http://prefill-ip:30000/v1/chat/completions ...
# 正确: curl http://router-ip:30080/v1/chat/completions ...

Error: Direct request to Decode node (bootstrap room id)

Symptom:

400 Bad Request: Disaggregated request received without bootstrap room id

Diagnosis: 直接向 Decode 节点发送请求，而非通过 sglang-router。

Fix: 同上，请求必须通过 sglang-router。PD disaggregation 模式下，Prefill 和 Decode 不接受直接客户端请求。

Error: dist-init-addr bind failure on Decode node

Symptom:

zmq.error.ZMQError: No such device (addr: tcp://10.8.0.25:5757)

Diagnosis: --dist-init-addr 使用了 Prefill 节点的特定 IP，Decode 节点无法 bind 该地址。

Fix: 使用 0.0.0.0 代替特定 IP：

# 错误: --dist-init-addr 10.8.0.25:5757
# 正确: --dist-init-addr 0.0.0.0:5757

Error: Deprecated environment variable warning

Symptom:

UserWarning: Environment variable SGL_DISABLE_TP_MEMORY_INBALANCE_CHECK is deprecated

Fix: Use the new variable name:

# Old (deprecated)
export SGL_DISABLE_TP_MEMORY_INBALANCE_CHECK=1

# New
export SGLANG_DISABLE_TP_MEMORY_INBALANCE_CHECK=1

DeepGEMM Precompilation (MoE Models)

MoE 模型（DeepSeek-V3/R1 等）使用 DeepGEMM 进行 FP8 矩阵乘法。DeepGEMM 采用 JIT 编译，首次启动时会编译 ~692 个 cubin 文件。

问题: 在 PD disaggregation 或多 DP rank 场景下，JIT 编译耗时 10-20 分钟，导致 DP rank 间不同步，触发 DeepEP dispatch 超时错误。

解决方案: 在启动 server 前预编译 DeepGEMM：

source /opt/deepep/unified-env.sh
export HF_HOME=/lssd/huggingface

# 预编译 DeepGEMM cubin（针对特定模型的 GEMM 维度）
# IMPORTANT: --tp 必须与 server 启动时的 --tp-size 一致
# DeepSeek-V3 (671B) 单卡放不下，不加 --tp 会 OOM
python3 -m sglang.compile_deep_gemm --model-path deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3 --tp 8

# 验证 cubin 缓存
ls ~/.cache/deep_gemm/cache/ | wc -l
# 预期: ~692 个文件（DeepSeek-V3 架构）

注意:

--tp 参数: 必须与后续 launch_server 的 --tp-size 一致。不加 --tp 默认单卡加载，DeepSeek-V3 (671B) 会触发 CUDA OOM
DeepGEMM 编译结果是半模型特定的：基于模型的 GEMM 维度（M/N/K），相同架构（如 DeepSeek-V3 和 DeepSeek-R1）可共享缓存
不同架构的模型（如 Qwen-MoE vs DeepSeek）需要重新编译
cubin 缓存目录: ~/.cache/deep_gemm/cache/（注意不是 ~/.deep_gemm/cache/）
预编译后缓存持久化在磁盘上，重启后无需重新编译

Starting the Server

To start the SGLang server:

# IMPORTANT: 必须先加载 DeepEP 环境（设置 LD_PRELOAD 等）
source /opt/deepep/unified-env.sh

# 设置 HuggingFace 缓存目录（可选，使用 LSSD 加速）
export HF_HOME=/lssd/huggingface

# MoE 模型: 先预编译 DeepGEMM（避免 warmup 超时）
# --tp 必须与 launch_server 的 --tp-size 一致，避免单卡 OOM
python3 -m sglang.compile_deep_gemm --model-path deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3 --tp 8

# Start server (adjust tp based on model architecture)
python3 -m sglang.launch_server \
    --model-path Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct \
    --port 30000 \
    --host 0.0.0.0 \
    --tp 4 \
    --trust-remote-code

注意: 如果不 source unified-env.sh，DeepEP 会因为找不到正确的 NVSHMEM 库而报错。

Disaggregation Mode (Prefill-Decode Separation)

For production DeepSeek-V3/R1 deployments, SGLang supports prefill-decode disaggregation where prefill and decode phases run on separate nodes.

Prerequisites

Transfer backend - one of:
- NIXL (recommended): pip install nixl==0.9.0
- Mooncake: pip install mooncake-transfer-engine==0.3.8.post1 (requires nvidia_peermem)
DeepEP for MoE all-to-all communication
DeepEP config files for expert placement

sglang-router for request routing (必须):

pip install --break-system-packages sglang-router

Architecture

PD disaggregation 的请求流程：

Client → sglang-router → Prefill Node (port 30000)
                       → Decode Node  (port 30001)

IMPORTANT: 客户端请求必须发送到 sglang-router，不能直接发送到 Prefill 或 Decode 节点。

直接请求 Prefill: AssertionError: bootstrap_room should not be None
直接请求 Decode: 400 Disaggregated request received without bootstrap room id

RDMA Memory Registration Errors (Mooncake)

When running with Mooncake, you may see RDMA memory registration errors:

RdmaTransport: Failed to register memory: addr 0x... length 37896192

Root Cause: nvidia_peermem module is not loaded or incompatible with your driver.

Diagnosis:

# Check if nvidia_peermem loads
sudo modprobe nvidia_peermem
# If you see: "could not insert 'nvidia_peermem': Invalid argument"
# This means you're using NVIDIA Open Kernel Module, which is incompatible

Solutions (in order of preference):

Switch to NIXL backend (recommended):

pip install --break-system-packages nixl==0.9.0
# Add to launch command:
--disaggregation-transfer-backend nixl

Use TCP fallback (slower): Mooncake will automatically fall back to TCP, but this significantly impacts multi-node performance.
Load nvidia_peermem (only works with proprietary driver):
```
sudo modprobe nvidia_peermem
```

Note: NIXL uses DMA-BUF which is built into the Linux kernel and doesn't require nvidia_peermem.

1P1D Quick Start (Minimal DeepSeek-V3 Example)

验证过的最小化 1P1D 部署步骤（2 节点 B200）：

Step 1: 两节点预编译 DeepGEMM

# 在 Prefill 和 Decode 节点上都执行
source /opt/deepep/unified-env.sh
export HF_HOME=/lssd/huggingface
# --tp 8 必须加，否则单卡加载 671B 模型会 OOM
python3 -m sglang.compile_deep_gemm --model-path deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3 --tp 8
# 验证: ls ~/.cache/deep_gemm/cache/ | wc -l  → 预期 ~692

Step 2: Prefill Node (e.g. 10.8.0.25)

source /opt/deepep/unified-env.sh
export HF_HOME=/lssd/huggingface

SGLANG_DEEPEP_NUM_MAX_DISPATCH_TOKENS_PER_RANK=1024 \
NCCL_SOCKET_IFNAME=enp0s19 \
GLOO_SOCKET_IFNAME=enp0s19 \
python3 -m sglang.launch_server \
    --model-path deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3 \
    --port 30000 \
    --host 0.0.0.0 \
    --tp-size 8 \
    --trust-remote-code \
    --disaggregation-mode prefill \
    --disaggregation-transfer-backend nixl \
    --dist-init-addr 0.0.0.0:5757 \
    --moe-dense-tp-size 1 \
    --enable-dp-attention \
    --moe-a2a-backend deepep \
    --deepep-mode normal \
    --disable-cuda-graph \
    --watchdog-timeout 1000000

Step 3: Decode Node (e.g. 10.8.0.71)

source /opt/deepep/unified-env.sh
export HF_HOME=/lssd/huggingface

SGLANG_DEEPEP_NUM_MAX_DISPATCH_TOKENS_PER_RANK=1024 \
NCCL_SOCKET_IFNAME=enp0s19 \
GLOO_SOCKET_IFNAME=enp0s19 \
python3 -m sglang.launch_server \
    --model-path deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3 \
    --port 30001 \
    --host 0.0.0.0 \
    --tp-size 8 \
    --trust-remote-code \
    --disaggregation-mode decode \
    --disaggregation-transfer-backend nixl \
    --dist-init-addr 0.0.0.0:5757 \
    --moe-dense-tp-size 1 \
    --enable-dp-attention \
    --moe-a2a-backend deepep \
    --deepep-mode normal \
    --disable-cuda-graph \
    --watchdog-timeout 1000000

Step 4: sglang-router (在 Prefill 节点或独立节点上)

pip install --break-system-packages sglang-router

python3 -m sglang_router.launch_router \
    --pd-disaggregation \
    --mini-lb \
    --prefill http://10.8.0.25:30000 \
    --decode http://10.8.0.71:30001 \
    --host 0.0.0.0 \
    --port 30080

Step 5: 测试

# 请求必须发送到 router (port 30080)，不能直接发到 Prefill/Decode
curl http://10.8.0.25:30080/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V3",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}],
    "max_tokens": 50
  }'

dist-init-addr 注意事项

CRITICAL: --dist-init-addr 必须使用 0.0.0.0:5757，不能使用特定 IP（如 10.8.0.25:5757）。

原因：SGLang 内部使用 dist-init-addr 进行 ZMQ TCP bind。如果使用特定 IP，Decode 节点会尝试 bind 到 Prefill 节点的 IP，导致 bind 失败。

Testing the Server

To verify the server is working:

# Health check
curl http://localhost:30000/health

# Chat completion test
curl http://localhost:30000/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "Qwen/Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}],
    "max_tokens": 50
  }'

Diagnostic Script

To diagnose installation issues, run scripts/diagnose.py:

python3 scripts/diagnose.py

This script checks:

CUDA installation and version
PyTorch CUDA compatibility
SGLang and sgl-kernel versions
Required library availability
GPU detection and memory
LD_LIBRARY_PATH configuration
DeepEP installation (required for MoE models)

DeepEP Dependency

DeepEP (DeepSeek Expert Parallelism) is required for running MoE (Mixture of Experts) models:

DeepSeek-V3
DeepSeek-R1
Mixtral (with Expert Parallelism)

Detecting DeepEP

The diagnostic script automatically checks for DeepEP. If not installed, it will prompt:

⚠ DeepEP: Not installed
  DeepEP is required for MoE models (DeepSeek-V3, DeepSeek-R1)
  To install DeepEP, use the deepep-installer skill:
    /deepep-installer

Installing DeepEP

If DeepEP is not installed, use the deepep-installer skill:

# Option 1: Use the deepep-installer skill (recommended)
/deepep-installer

# Option 2: Run the installation script directly
bash /path/to/gpu-tpu-pedia/gpu/deepep/install.sh

The deepep-installer skill handles:

CUDA and gdrcopy setup
NVSHMEM with IBGDA support
DeepEP compilation for your GPU architecture
Environment variable configuration

Workflow Integration

When diagnosing SGLang installation, if DeepEP is missing and the user wants to run MoE models:

Detect DeepEP is not installed via diagnose.py
Prompt user to run /deepep-installer skill
After DeepEP installation, re-run SGLang diagnostic
Proceed with SGLang server startup

Recommended Installation Order

For MoE models (DeepSeek, Qwen-MoE), the recommended installation order is:

DeepEP first (if needed for MoE models)
- gdrcopy → NVSHMEM → DeepEP
- Use the deepep-installer skill
Then SGLang
- SGLang installation script will detect and use DeepEP if available

This ensures DeepEP is properly configured before SGLang tries to use it.

SGLang/vLLM Coexistence

SGLang and vLLM can be installed on the same system, but they have some dependency version conflicts (grpcio, timm, xgrammar, etc.). For production use:

Recommended: Use separate Python virtual environments
Alternative: Accept the version mismatches (usually works for basic inference)

Common conflicts when both are installed:

grpcio: SGLang wants 1.75.1, vLLM may install 1.76.0
timm: SGLang wants 1.0.16, vLLM may install 1.0.24
xgrammar: SGLang wants 0.1.27, vLLM may install 0.1.29

Pre-downloading DeepSeek Weights (Optional)

For faster DeepSeek-V3/R1 model loading, you can pre-download weights from GCS instead of HuggingFace:

# Check if already downloaded
DEEPSEEK_PATH="/lssd/huggingface/hub/models--deepseek-ai--DeepSeek-V3"

if [ -d "$DEEPSEEK_PATH" ]; then
    echo "✓ DeepSeek-V3 weights already exist: $DEEPSEEK_PATH"
    du -sh "$DEEPSEEK_PATH"
else
    echo "Downloading DeepSeek-V3 weights from GCS..."
    gcloud storage cp -r gs://chrisya-gpu-pg-ase1/huggingface /lssd/
    echo "✓ DeepSeek-V3 weights downloaded"
fi

Notes:

GCS bucket gs://chrisya-gpu-pg-ase1/huggingface contains pre-cached DeepSeek-V3 FP8 weights
Downloading from GCS is much faster than HuggingFace (same-region high bandwidth)
Weights are ~600GB, including complete safetensors files
Requires LSSD to be mounted first (use /lssd-mounter skill)

references/troubleshooting.md - Extended troubleshooting guide

Unified Environment Script

After installing DeepEP + SGLang + vLLM, use the unified environment script:

source /opt/deepep/unified-env.sh

This script sets up all necessary environment variables for DeepEP, NVSHMEM, gdrcopy, and NVIDIA libraries.

Recommended Multi-Framework Installation Order

When installing SGLang alongside DeepEP and vLLM:

1. /lssd-mounter     → Mount high-speed local SSD
2. /deepep-installer → Install DeepEP (已使用 PyTorch 2.9.1)
3. /sglang-installer → Install SGLang (this skill)
4. /vllm-installer   → Install vLLM (可选)

注意: DeepEP 现在默认使用 PyTorch 2.9.1 编译，与 SGLang 0.5.8 保持一致，无需重新编译。

Post-Installation Verification:

source /opt/deepep/unified-env.sh
python3 -c "
import torch; print(f'PyTorch: {torch.__version__}')
import deep_ep; print('DeepEP: OK')
import sglang; print(f'SGLang: {sglang.__version__}')
import sgl_kernel; print(f'sgl-kernel: {sgl_kernel.__version__}')
import vllm; print(f'vLLM: {vllm.__version__}')
"
