- 适合非专家用户快速部署大模型,降低使用门槛。
在真实场景中高效部署大语言模型(LLMs)仍面临严峻挑战,主要源于硬件异构性、推理框架限制及工作负载复杂性。这些因素常导致内存利用率低、延迟波动和多卡配置效率低下,阻碍了LLMs的广泛应用,尤其对非专业人士而言。通过大量实验,我们识别出关键性能瓶颈:内存利用率骤降、批处理大小变化引起的延迟波动以及多GPU配置中的效率不足。这些发现揭示了由硬件、框架与工作负载参数复杂交互所形成的广阔优化空间。为此,我们设计了指南框架GUIDE,采用动态建模与仿真优化方法,在批量延迟、首字响应时间(TTFT)和解码吞吐量等关键指标上的预测误差为9.9%至42.3%。该框架有效弥合理论性能与实际部署之间的差距,使从业者尤其是非专家能够做出数据驱动决策,在异构环境中低成本释放LLM的全部潜力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Efficiently deploying large language models (LLMs) in real-world scenarios remains a critical challenge, primarily due to hardware heterogeneity, inference framework limitations, and workload complexities.Efficiently deploying large language models (LLMs) in real-world scenarios remains a critical challenge, primarily due to hardware heterogeneity, inference framework limitations, and workload complexities. These challenges often lead to inefficiencies in memory utilization, latency, and throughput, hindering the effective deployment of LLMs, especially for non-experts. Through extensive experiments, we identify key performance bottlenecks, including sudden drops in memory utilization, latency fluctuations with varying batch sizes, and inefficiencies in multi-GPU configurations. These insights reveal a vast optimization space shaped by the intricate interplay of hardware, frameworks, and workload parameters. This underscores the need for a systematic approach to optimize LLM inference, motivating the design of our framework, GUIDE. GUIDE leverages dynamic modeling and simulation-based optimization to address these issues, achieving prediction errors between 9.9% and 42.3% for key metrics such as batch latency, TTFT, and decode throughput. By effectively bridging the gap between theoretical performance and practical deployment, our framework empowers practitioners, particularly non-specialists, to make data-driven decisions and unlock the full potential of LLMs in heterogeneous environments cheaply.
