Text Generation Inference

A Rust and gRPC server for text generation inference.

Load Tests

See k6/load_test.js We send the default examples with a 1 second delay between each request.

Stages:

  • Ramp up to 50 concurrent requests per second in 1min
  • Ramp up from 50 to 100 concurrent requests per second in 2min
  • Ramp down to 0 concurrent requests per second in 1min

Install

cd server
pip install .
cd router
cargo build --release

Run

python server/bloom_inference/main.py bigscience/bloom --num-gpus 8 --shard-directory /dev/shm/models
./router/target/release/router

TODO:

  • Add batching args to router CLI
  • Add docstrings + comments everywhere as the codebase is fairly complicated
  • Add tests
  • Add shutdown logic in router and server
  • Improve multi-processing logic in server
  • Improve past key layer indexing?
