[II] Bound MLA prefill projection workspace - #322
voipmonitor wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
Allow operators to cap the context-token workspace expanded into dense MLA K/V tensors with VLLM_MLA_CHUNKED_PREFILL_WORKSPACE_SIZE. Zero preserves the automatic 64K-token bound, negative values fail configuration, and DCP/block alignment remains authoritative after applying an explicit cap. The setting is backend- and tensor-parallel-independent. Existing deployments are unchanged unless the environment variable is set. Validation: the complete direct DCP collective test module passes with 20 tests and 4 hardware-dependent skips in the PyTorch 2.13/CUDA 13.3 Kimi-K3 image. Ruff, formatting, Python compilation, and whitespace validation pass.

Behavior
Adds
VLLM_MLA_CHUNKED_PREFILL_WORKSPACE_SIZE, an optional token limit for the dense K/V projection workspace used by MLA chunked-context prefill.0preserves the automatic limit, including its 64K-token upper bound.max_num_seqsremain authoritative.Status: implemented and qualified.
Technical reason
The automatic 64K-token capacity can reserve multi-gigabyte transient dense projection buffers for models with large MLA dimensions. Long-context deployments may need that memory for physical KV cache while using a smaller scheduler prefill chunk. An explicit token limit makes the memory tradeoff controllable without changing the automatic policy for existing deployments.
Compatibility
The change is independent of model architecture, attention backend, and tensor-parallel size. Existing deployments retain identical behavior unless the environment variable is set.
The environment variable limits workspace capacity; it does not change the scheduler's
max_num_batched_tokens. Operators must select a capacity that can hold the intended prefill chunk after alignment.Validation
