Abstract:Large language model (LLM) inference increasingly depends on multi-GPU execution, yet existing inference parallelization strategies require layer-wise inter-rank synchronization, making end-to-end performance sensitive to workload imbalance. We present DWDP (Distributed Weight Data Parallelism), an inference parallelization strategy that preserves data-parallel execution while offloading MoE weights across peer GPUs and fetching missing experts on demand. By removing collective inter-rank synchronization, DWDP allows each GPU to progress independently. We further address the practical overheads of this design with two optimizations for split-weight management and asynchronous remote-weight prefetch. Implemented in TensorRT-LLM and evaluated with DeepSeek-R1 on GB200 NVL72, DWDP improves end-to-end output TPS/GPU by 8.8% at comparable TPS/user in the 20-100 TPS/user serving range under 8K input sequence length and 1K output sequence length.
Abstract:This paper studies the leader-following consensuses of uncertain and nonlinear multi-agent systems against composite attacks (CAs), including Denial of Service (DoS) attacks and actuation attacks (AAs). A double-layer control framework is formulated, where a digital twin layer (TL) is added beside the traditional cyber-physical layer (CPL), inspired by the recent Digital Twin technology. Consequently, the resilient control task against CAs can be divided into two parts: One is distributed estimation against DoS attacks on the TL and the other is resilient decentralized tracking control against actuation attacks on the CPL. %The data-driven scheme is used to deal with both model non-linearity and model uncertainty, in which only the input and output data of the system are employed throughout the whole control process. First, a distributed observer based on switching estimation law against DoS is designed on TL. Second, a distributed model free adaptive control (DMFAC) protocol based on attack compensation against AAs is designed on CPL. Moreover, the uniformly ultimately bounded convergence of consensus error of the proposed double-layer DMFAC algorithm is strictly proved. Finally, the simulation verifies the effectiveness of the resilient double-layer control scheme.
