LightLLM is a Python-based LLM (Large Language Model) inference and serving framework, notable for its lightweight design, easy scalability, and high-speed performance. LightLLM harnesses the strengths of numerous well-regarded open-source implementations, including but not limited to FasterTransformer, TGI, vLLM, and FlashAttention.
- Tri-process asynchronous collaboration: tokenization, model inference, and detokenization are performed asynchronously, leading to a considerable improvement in GPU utilization.
- Nopad (Unpad): offers support for nopad attention operations across multiple models to efficiently handle requests with large length disparities.
- Dynamic Batch: enables dynamic batch scheduling of requests
- FlashAttention: incorporates FlashAttention to improve speed and reduce GPU memory footprint during inference.
- Tensor Parallelism: utilizes tensor parallelism over multiple GPUs for faster inference.
- Token Attention: implements token-wise's KV cache memory management mechanism, allowing for zero memory waste during inference.
- High-performance Router: collaborates with Token Attention to meticulously manage the GPU memory of each token, thereby optimizing system throughput.
- Int8KV Cache: This feature will increase the capacity of tokens to almost twice as much. only llama support.

The code has been tested with Pytorch>=1.3, CUDA 12.4, and Python 3.9. To install the necessary dependencies, please refer to the provided requirements.txt and follow the instructions as
# for cuda 12.4
pip install -r requirements.txt --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu124
NOTE: If you are using torch with cuda 11.x instead, run pip install nvidia-nccl-cu12==2.20.5
to support torch cuda graph.
You can use the official Docker container to run the model more easily. To do this, follow these steps:
-
Pull the container from the GitHub Container Registry:
docker pull ghcr.io/modeltc/lightllm:main
-
Run the container with GPU support and port mapping:
docker run -it --gpus all -p 8080:8080 \ --shm-size 1g -v your_local_path:/data/ \ ghcr.io/modeltc/lightllm:main /bin/bash
-
Alternatively, you can build the container yourself:
docker build -t <image_name> . docker run -it --gpus all -p 8080:8080 \ --shm-size 1g -v your_local_path:/data/ \ <image_name> /bin/bash
-
You can also use a helper script to launch both the container and the server:
python tools/quick_launch_docker.py --help
-
Note: If you use multiple GPUs, you may need to increase the shared memory size by adding
--shm-size
to thedocker run
command.
- Install from the source code by
python setup.py install
- Install Triton Package
The code has been tested on a range of GPUs including V100, A100, A800, 4090, and H800. If you are running the code on A100, A800, etc., we recommend using triton==3.0.0.
pip install triton==3.0.0 --no-deps
If you are running the code on H800 or V100., you can try triton-nightly to get better performance.
pip install -U --index-url https://aiinfra.pkgs.visualstudio.com/PublicPackages/_packaging/Triton-Nightly/pypi/simple/ triton-nightly --no-deps
With efficient Routers and TokenAttention, LightLLM can be deployed as a service and achieve the state-of-the-art throughput performance.
Launch the server:
python -m lightllm.server.api_server --model_dir /path/llama-7B \
--host 0.0.0.0 \
--port 8080 \
--tp 1 \
--max_total_token_num 120000
The parameter max_total_token_num
is influenced by the GPU memory of the deployment environment. You can also specify --mem_faction to have it calculated automatically.
python -m lightllm.server.api_server --model_dir /path/llama-7B \
--host 0.0.0.0 \
--port 8080 \
--tp 1 \
--mem_faction 0.9

curl http://127.0.0.1:8080/generate \
-X POST \
-d '{"inputs":"What is AI?","parameters":{"max_new_tokens":17, "frequency_penalty":1}}' \

We compared the service performance of LightLLM and vLLM==0.1.2 on LLaMA-7B using an A800 with 80G GPU memory.
To begin, prepare the data as follows:
wget https://huggingface.co/datasets/anon8231489123/ShareGPT_Vicuna_unfiltered/resolve/main/ShareGPT_V3_unfiltered_cleaned_split.json
Launch the service:
python -m lightllm.server.api_server --model_dir /path/llama-7b --tp 1 --max_total_token_num 121060 --tokenizer_mode auto
Evaluation:
cd test
python benchmark_serving.py --tokenizer /path/llama-7b --dataset /path/ShareGPT_V3_unfiltered_cleaned_split.json --num-prompts 2000 --request-rate 200
The performance comparison results are presented below:
vLLM | LightLLM |
---|---|
Total time: 361.79 s Throughput: 5.53 requests/s |
Total time: 188.85 s Throughput: 10.59 requests/s |
For debugging, we offer static performance testing scripts for various models. For instance, you can evaluate the inference performance of the LLaMA model by
cd test/model
python test_llama.py
