TensorRT-LLM
In this example, we will use LeaderWorkerSet to deploy a distributed inference service with Triton TensorRT-LLM on GPUs. TensorRT-LLM supports multinode serving using tensor and pipeline parallelism. It manages the distributed runtime with MPI.
Build the Triton TensorRT-LLM image
We provide a Dockerfile to build the image. The Dockerfile contains an installation script to download any Llama model from hugging face and prepare it to be used by TensorRT-LLM. It also has a python script to initialize MPI and start the server.
Create service account
The script requires access to kubectl to determine when the workers are in a ready state, so a service account with access to it is needed to run the server.
kubectl apply -f docs/examples/tensorrt-llm/rbac.yaml
Deploy LeaderWorkerSet of TensorRT-LLM
We use LeaderWorkerSet to deploy the TensorRT-LLM server, each replica has 2 pods (pipeline_parallel_size=2) and 8 GPUs (tensor_parallel_size=8) per pod. The leader pod runs the http server, with a ClusterIP Service exposing the port.
kubectl apply -f docs/examples/tensorrt-llm/lws.yaml
Verify the status of the pods:
kubectl get pods
Should get an output similar to this:
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
tensorrt-0 1/1 Running 0 31m
tensorrt-0-1 1/1 Running 0 31m
Access cluster IP service
Use kubectl port-forward to forward local port 8000 to a pod.
kubectl port-forward svc/vllm-leader 8000:8000
The output should be similar to the following
Forwarding from 127.0.0.1:8000 -> 8000
Forwarding from [::1]:8000 -> 8000
Serve the model
Open another terminal and serve the request
$ USER_PROMPT="I'm new to coding. If you could only recommend one programming language to start with, what would it be and why?"
