• [2024 / 06] We are releasing a brand new version of rtp-llm, which features scheduling and batching framework refactored in c++, complete gpu memory management and allocation track and new Device backend. Check release info for more details !
• [2024 / 06] We are currently working on support for multiple hardware backends in extensive collaborations with hardware manufacturers. AMD ROCm, Intel CPU and ARM CPU support are on their way, stay tuned for upcoming releases!

About

• rtp-llm is a Large Language Model (LLM) inference acceleration engine developed by Alibaba's Foundation Model Inference Team. It is widely used within Alibaba Group, supporting LLM service across multiple business units including Taobao, Tmall, Idlefish, Cainiao, Amap, Ele.me, AE, and Lazada.
• The rtp-llm project is a sub-project of the havenask

Features

Production Proven

Applied in numerous LLM scenarios, such as:

• Taobao Wenwen
• Alibaba's international AI platform, Aidge
• OpenSearch LLM Smart Q&A Edition
• Large Language Model based Long-tail Query Rewriting in Taobao Search

High Performance

• Utilizes high-performance CUDA kernels, including PagedAttention, FlashAttention, FlashDecoding, etc.
• Implements WeightOnly INT8 Quantization with automatic quantization at load time; Support WeightOnly INT4 Quantization with GPTQ and AWQ
• Adaptive KVCache Quantization
• Detailed optimization of dynamic batching overhead at the framework level
• Specially optimized for the V100 GPU

Flexibility and Ease of Use

• Seamless integration with the HuggingFace models, supporting multiple weight formats such as SafeTensors, Pytorch, and Megatron
• Deploys multiple LoRA services with a single model instance
• Handles multimodal inputs (combining images and text)
• Enables multi-machine/multi-GPU tensor parallelism
• Supports P-tuning models

Advanced Acceleration Techniques

• Loads pruned irregular models
• Contextual Prefix Cache for multi-turn dialogues
• System Prompt Cache
• Speculative Decoding
• Medusa for advanced parallelization strategies

How to Use

Requirements

• Operating System: Linux
• Python: 3.10
• NVIDIA GPU: Compute Capability 7.0 or higher (e.g., RTX20xx, RTX30xx, RTX40xx, V100, T4, A10/A30/A100, L4, H100, etc.)

  Startup example

  1. docker

     
     cd rtp-llm/docker
     # IMAGE_NAME =
     # if cuda11: registry.cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com/havenask/rtp_llm:deploy_image_cuda11
     # if cuda12: registry.cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com/havenask/rtp_llm:deploy_image_cuda12
     sh ./create_container.sh <CONTAINER_NAME> <IMAGE_NAME>
     sh CONTAINER_NAME/sshme.sh

cd ../

start http service

TOKENIZER_PATH=/path/to/tokenizer CHECKPOINT_PATH=/path/to/model MODEL_TYPE=your_model_type FT_SERVER_TEST=1 python3 -m maga_transformer.start_server

request to server

curl -XPOST http://localhost:8088 -d '{"prompt": "hello, what is your name", "generate_config": {"max_new_tokens": 1000}}'

2. whl
```bash
# Install rtp-llm
cd rtp-llm
# For cuda12 environment, please use requirements_torch_gpu_cuda12.txt
pip3 install -r ./open_source/deps/requirements_torch_gpu.txt
# Use the corresponding whl from the release version, here's an example for the cuda11 version 0.1.0, for the cuda12 whl package please check the release page.
pip3 install maga_transformer-0.1.9+cuda118-cp310-cp310-manylinux1_x86_64.whl
# start http service

cd ../
TOKENIZER_PATH=/path/to/tokenizer CHECKPOINT_PATH=/path/to/model MODEL_TYPE=your_model_type FT_SERVER_TEST=1 python3 -m maga_transformer.start_server
# request to server
curl -XPOST http://localhost:8088 -d '{"prompt": "hello, what is your name", "generate_config": {"max_new_tokens": 1000}}'

FAQ

1. libcufft.so

   Error log: OSError: libcufft.so.11: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

   Resolution: Please check whether cuda and rtp-llm versions are matched

2. libth_transformer.so

   Error log: OSError: /rtp-llm/maga_transformer/libs/libth_transformer.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

   Resolution: If installed via whl or docker(which means not a bazel build), please check your current directory is not rtp-llm, or python will use relative path package instead of installed whl

3. Bazel build time out

   Error log: ERROR: no such package '@pip_gpu_cuda12_torch//': rules_python_external failed: (Timed out)

   Resolution:

   1. change pip mirror repository in open_source/deps/pip.bzl, add extra_pip_args=["--index_url=xxx"]
   2. pip install requirements manually, especially for pytorch, for that bazel build has a 600s timeout by default, which may not be enough for pytorch downloading

Acknowledgments

Our project is mainly based on FasterTransformer, and on this basis, we have integrated some kernel implementations from TensorRT-LLM. FasterTransformer and TensorRT-LLM have provided us with reliable performance guarantees. Flash-Attention2 and cutlass have also provided a lot of help in our continuous performance optimization process. Our continuous batching and increment decoding draw on the implementation of vllm; sampling draws on transformers, with speculative sampling integrating Medusa's implementation, and the multimodal part integrating implementations from llava and qwen-vl. We thank these projects for their inspiration and help.
