Goal TPSP decomposes AllReduce into ReduceScatter (RS) + AllGather (AG), fusing RS/AG with adjacent compute (Norm, routing, GEMM) to hide communication behind computation. This brings roughly **10% TTFT improvement on long...vllm-project/vllm · hlin991 reactions, 2 repliesOpen ↗[Feature]: Production evidence for restoring concurrent partial prefill limits (max_num_partial_prefills / max_concurrent_prefills) in V1 scheduler...and we believe this is a strong real-world case for reviving #49075 / #55256. ## Problem With `--enable-chunked-prefill` and `--max-num-batched-tokens` set to a reasonably high value (tested 8192 and 16384), a single long-prompt request still needs many scheduler iterations to...vllm-project/vllm · javimp20031 reactions, 12 repliesOpen ↗
