目录


第零部分:PyTorch 快速入门

在开始构建推理引擎之前,我们需要掌握一些 PyTorch 基础。

0.1 安装环境

# 安装 PyTorch(根据你的系统选择)
# CPU 版本
pip install torch

# GPU 版本(CUDA 11.8)
pip install torch --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118

# 验证安装
python -c "import torch; print(torch.__version__)"

0.2 Tensor(张量)基础

Tensor 是什么?

  • 就是多维数组(类似 NumPy 的 ndarray)
  • 可以在 GPU 上运行
import torch

# 创建 Tensor
x = torch.tensor([1, 2, 3])
print(x)  # tensor([1, 2, 3])
print(x.shape)  # torch.Size([3])

# 二维 Tensor(矩阵)
matrix = torch.tensor([[1, 2, 3],
                       [4, 5, 6]])
print(matrix.shape)  # torch.Size([2, 3])
                     #            ↑  ↑
                     #            |  └─ 3 列
                     #            └──── 2 行

# 三维 Tensor
tensor_3d = torch.randn(2, 3, 4)
print(tensor_3d.shape)  # torch.Size([2, 3, 4])
                        #            ↑  ↑  ↑
                        #            |  |  └─ 每个矩阵 4 列
                        #            |  └──── 每个 "层" 3 行
                        #            └─────── 2 个矩阵

常用创建方法:

# 随机数
x = torch.randn(2, 3)  # 正态分布随机数

# 全零
x = torch.zeros(2, 3)

# 全一
x = torch.ones(2, 3)

# 指定范围
x = torch.arange(10)  # [0, 1, 2, ..., 9]

0.3 矩阵乘法(最重要!)

# 矩阵乘法的核心规则
A = torch.randn(2, 3)  # [2, 3]
B = torch.randn(3, 4)  # [3, 4]
C = A @ B              # [2, 4]
                       #  ↑  ↑
                       #  |  └─ B 的列数
                       #  └──── A 的行数

# 关键:A 的列数必须等于 B 的行数
print(f"A: {A.shape}, B: {B.shape}, C: {C.shape}")
# A: torch.Size([2, 3]), B: torch.Size([3, 4]), C: torch.Size([2, 4])

# 错误示例
try:
    A = torch.randn(2, 3)
    B = torch.randn(5, 4)  # 3 ≠ 5
    C = A @ B  # 报错!
except RuntimeError as e:
    print(f"错误: {e}")

可视化矩阵乘法:

# 例子
A = torch.tensor([[1, 2, 3],
                  [4, 5, 6]])  # [2, 3]

B = torch.tensor([[7,  8],
                  [9,  10],
                  [11, 12]])   # [3, 2]

C = A @ B
print(C)
# tensor([[ 58,  64],
#         [139, 154]])

# 计算过程(第一个元素):
# C[0, 0] = A[0, 0]*B[0, 0] + A[0, 1]*B[1, 0] + A[0, 2]*B[2, 0]
#         = 1*7 + 2*9 + 3*11
#         = 7 + 18 + 33
#         = 58

0.4 常用操作

Reshape(改变形状)

x = torch.arange(12)
print(x.shape)  # [12]

# 改成 3 行 4 列
y = x.view(3, 4)
print(y.shape)  # [3, 4]
print(y)
# tensor([[ 0,  1,  2,  3],
#         [ 4,  5,  6,  7],
#         [ 8,  9, 10, 11]])

# 改成 2 行 6 列
z = x.view(2, 6)
print(z.shape)  # [2, 6]

# 自动推断维度(-1)
w = x.view(4, -1)  # 4 行,列数自动计算
print(w.shape)  # [4, 3]

Transpose(转置)

x = torch.tensor([[1, 2, 3],
                  [4, 5, 6]])
print(x.shape)  # [2, 3]

y = x.T  # 转置
print(y.shape)  # [3, 2]
print(y)
# tensor([[1, 4],
#         [2, 5],
#         [3, 6]])

# 对于高维 tensor,指定转置的维度
x = torch.randn(2, 3, 4, 5)
y = x.transpose(2, 3)  # 交换第 2 和第 3 维
print(y.shape)  # [2, 3, 5, 4]

Indexing(索引)

x = torch.tensor([[1, 2, 3],
                  [4, 5, 6]])

# 取单个元素
print(x[0, 0])  # tensor(1)

# 取一行
print(x[0])  # tensor([1, 2, 3])

# 取一列
print(x[:, 0])  # tensor([1, 4])

# 切片
print(x[:, 1:])  # 所有行,从第 1 列开始
# tensor([[2, 3],
#         [5, 6]])

0.5 GPU 操作

# 检查是否有 GPU
print(f"CUDA available: {torch.cuda.is_available()}")

if torch.cuda.is_available():
    # 将 tensor 移到 GPU
    x = torch.randn(2, 3)
    x_gpu = x.cuda()  # 或 x.to('cuda')
    print(x_gpu.device)  # cuda:0

    # GPU 上的计算
    y_gpu = torch.randn(3, 4).cuda()
    z_gpu = x_gpu @ y_gpu  # 在 GPU 上计算

    # 移回 CPU
    z_cpu = z_gpu.cpu()

# 统一写法(自动选择设备)
device = 'cuda' if torch.cuda.is_available() else 'cpu'
x = torch.randn(2, 3).to(device)

0.6 nn.Module 和 nn.Linear

nn.Module 是所有神经网络模块的基类。

import torch.nn as nn

# 最简单的模块:线性层(全连接层)
linear = nn.Linear(in_features=10, out_features=5)
# 内部有两个参数:
# - weight: [5, 10]  (out_features × in_features)
# - bias:   [5]

print(f"Weight shape: {linear.weight.shape}")
print(f"Bias shape: {linear.bias.shape}")

# 前向传播
x = torch.randn(2, 10)  # batch=2, features=10
y = linear(x)
print(f"Input: {x.shape}, Output: {y.shape}")
# Input: torch.Size([2, 10]), Output: torch.Size([2, 5])

# 计算过程:
# y = x @ W.T + b
#   = [2, 10] @ [10, 5] + [5]
#   = [2, 5]

自定义模块:

class MyModel(nn.Module):
    def __init__(self, input_size, hidden_size, output_size):
        super().__init__()
        # 定义层
        self.fc1 = nn.Linear(input_size, hidden_size)
        self.fc2 = nn.Linear(hidden_size, output_size)

    def forward(self, x):
        # 定义前向传播
        x = self.fc1(x)
        x = torch.relu(x)  # 激活函数
        x = self.fc2(x)
        return x

# 使用
model = MyModel(10, 20, 5)
x = torch.randn(2, 10)
y = model(x)
print(y.shape)  # [2, 5]

# 查看所有参数
for name, param in model.named_parameters():
    print(f"{name}: {param.shape}")
# fc1.weight: torch.Size([20, 10])
# fc1.bias: torch.Size([20])
# fc2.weight: torch.Size([5, 20])
# fc2.bias: torch.Size([5])

0.7 加载预训练模型

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

# 下载和加载模型
model_name = "gpt2"  # 小模型,适合学习
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name)

# 查看模型结构
print(model)

# 获取模型参数数量
num_params = sum(p.numel() for p in model.parameters())
print(f"参数量: {num_params / 1e6:.1f}M")  # GPT-2: 124.4M

# Tokenize(文本 → 数字)
text = "Hello world"
input_ids = tokenizer.encode(text, return_tensors='pt')
print(f"Input IDs: {input_ids}")
# tensor([[15496,   995]])

# 模型推理
with torch.no_grad():  # 推理时不需要计算梯度
    outputs = model(input_ids)
    logits = outputs.logits  # [1, 2, 50257]
                             #  ↑  ↑  ↑
                             #  |  |  └─ vocab size
                             #  |  └──── seq_len
                             #  └─────── batch

print(f"Logits shape: {logits.shape}")

0.8 实战练习

# 练习 1: 矩阵乘法
# 创建两个矩阵 A [3, 4] 和 B [4, 5],计算 C = A @ B
A = torch.randn(3, 4)
B = torch.randn(4, 5)
C = A @ B
print(f"C shape: {C.shape}")  # 应该是 [3, 5]

# 练习 2: Reshape
# 将一个 [2, 3, 4] 的 tensor reshape 成 [2, 12]
x = torch.randn(2, 3, 4)
y = x.view(2, -1)  # -1 自动计算
print(f"y shape: {y.shape}")  # 应该是 [2, 12]

# 练习 3: 实现一个简单的线性层(不用 nn.Linear)
def my_linear(x, weight, bias):
    # x: [batch, in_features]
    # weight: [out_features, in_features]
    # bias: [out_features]
    return x @ weight.T + bias

x = torch.randn(2, 10)
weight = torch.randn(5, 10)
bias = torch.randn(5)
output = my_linear(x, weight, bias)
print(f"Output shape: {output.shape}")  # 应该是 [2, 5]

# 验证和 nn.Linear 一致
linear = nn.Linear(10, 5)
linear.weight.data = weight
linear.bias.data = bias
output_pytorch = linear(x)
print(f"Match: {torch.allclose(output, output_pytorch)}")  # True

恭喜!你已经掌握了构建推理引擎所需的 PyTorch 基础。


第一部分:最简单的推理(10 行代码)

现在开始构建我们的第一个推理引擎!

1.1 目标

用最少的代码,实现:

  1. 加载一个模型
  2. 输入一句话
  3. 生成一个新词

不关心性能,只求能跑通。

1.2 完整代码(Version 0.1)

import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

# 1. 加载模型和 tokenizer
model_name = "gpt2"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name)
model.eval()  # 设置为评估模式

# 2. 输入文本
text = "Hello, I am"
input_ids = tokenizer.encode(text, return_tensors='pt')
print(f"Input: {text}")
print(f"Token IDs: {input_ids}")

# 3. 模型推理
with torch.no_grad():
    outputs = model(input_ids)
    logits = outputs.logits  # [1, seq_len, vocab_size]

# 4. 获取最后一个 token 的预测
last_logits = logits[0, -1, :]  # [vocab_size]

# 5. 选择概率最高的 token
next_token_id = torch.argmax(last_logits).item()

# 6. 解码
next_token = tokenizer.decode(next_token_id)
print(f"Next token: {next_token}")

# 完整输出
generated_text = text + next_token
print(f"Generated: {generated_text}")

运行结果:

Input: Hello, I am
Token IDs: tensor([[15496,    11,   314,   716]])
Next token:  a
Generated: Hello, I am a

1.3 代码详解

让我们逐行理解:

# 步骤 1: 加载模型
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("gpt2")
# 这会下载 GPT-2 模型(~500MB)
# 模型结构:12 层 Transformer Decoder
# 参数量:124M

# 步骤 2: Tokenize
text = "Hello, I am"
input_ids = tokenizer.encode(text, return_tensors='pt')
# 将文本转换为 token IDs
# "Hello" → 15496
# "," → 11
# " I" → 314
# " am" → 716
# 结果: tensor([[15496, 11, 314, 716]])

# 步骤 3: 模型前向传播
outputs = model(input_ids)
# 输入: [1, 4]  (1 个序列,4 个 tokens)
# 输出: logits [1, 4, 50257]
#       ↑  ↑  ↑
#       |  |  └─ 50257 个词的得分
#       |  └──── 4 个位置(每个 token 都预测下一个词)
#       └─────── batch size

# 步骤 4: 取最后一个 token 的预测
last_logits = logits[0, -1, :]
# 形状: [50257]
# 含义: 词表中每个词作为下一个词的得分

# 步骤 5: 选择得分最高的词
next_token_id = torch.argmax(last_logits).item()
# argmax 返回最大值的索引
# 例如: 如果 last_logits[257] = 5.3 是最大的
#       则 next_token_id = 257

1.4 生成多个词

现在扩展到生成多个词:

import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_name = "gpt2"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name)
model.eval()

# 输入
text = "Once upon a time"
input_ids = tokenizer.encode(text, return_tensors='pt')
print(f"Input: {text}")

# 生成 10 个新词
max_new_tokens = 10
for i in range(max_new_tokens):
    # 推理
    with torch.no_grad():
        outputs = model(input_ids)
        logits = outputs.logits

    # 取最后一个 token 的预测
    next_token_id = torch.argmax(logits[0, -1, :]).item()

    # 追加到输入
    input_ids = torch.cat([
        input_ids,
        torch.tensor([[next_token_id]])
    ], dim=1)

    # 打印进度
    generated = tokenizer.decode(input_ids[0])
    print(f"Step {i+1}: {generated}")

# 最终结果
final_text = tokenizer.decode(input_ids[0])
print(f"\nFinal: {final_text}")

运行结果:

Input: Once upon a time
Step 1: Once upon a time,
Step 2: Once upon a time, I
Step 3: Once upon a time, I was
Step 4: Once upon a time, I was a
Step 5: Once upon a time, I was a little
Step 6: Once upon a time, I was a little girl
Step 7: Once upon a time, I was a little girl.
Step 8: Once upon a time, I was a little girl. I
Step 9: Once upon a time, I was a little girl. I was
Step 10: Once upon a time, I was a little girl. I was born

Final: Once upon a time, I was a little girl. I was born

1.5 添加随机性(Temperature Sampling)

上面的代码总是选择概率最高的词(贪心策略),会导致生成内容重复。我们加入随机采样:

import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_name = "gpt2"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name)
model.eval()

def generate(prompt, max_new_tokens=20, temperature=1.0):
    """
    生成文本

    参数:
        prompt: 输入文本
        max_new_tokens: 最多生成多少个词
        temperature: 温度参数
            - < 1.0: 更确定性(倾向高概率词)
            - = 1.0: 标准采样
            - > 1.0: 更随机
    """
    input_ids = tokenizer.encode(prompt, return_tensors='pt')

    for _ in range(max_new_tokens):
        with torch.no_grad():
            outputs = model(input_ids)
            logits = outputs.logits[0, -1, :]  # [vocab_size]

        # 温度缩放
        logits = logits / temperature

        # 转换为概率
        probs = torch.softmax(logits, dim=-1)

        # 根据概率采样
        next_token_id = torch.multinomial(probs, num_samples=1).item()

        # 追加
        input_ids = torch.cat([
            input_ids,
            torch.tensor([[next_token_id]])
        ], dim=1)

    return tokenizer.decode(input_ids[0])

# 测试不同温度
prompt = "The secret of life is"
print(f"Prompt: {prompt}\n")

print("Temperature = 0.5 (确定性):")
print(generate(prompt, temperature=0.5))
print()

print("Temperature = 1.0 (标准):")
print(generate(prompt, temperature=1.0))
print()

print("Temperature = 1.5 (随机):")
print(generate(prompt, temperature=1.5))

1.6 存在的问题

我们的 Version 0.1 能工作,但有严重的性能问题:

# 问题 1: 每次都重新计算所有 token
for i in range(100):
    outputs = model(input_ids)  # input_ids 越来越长
    # Step 1: 处理 4 个 tokens
    # Step 2: 处理 5 个 tokens (token 1-4 重复计算了)
    # Step 3: 处理 6 个 tokens (token 1-5 重复计算了)
    # ...
    # Step 100: 处理 104 个 tokens (token 1-103 都重复计算了)

# 计算量:4 + 5 + 6 + ... + 104 = 5404 次 token 处理
# 实际只需要:4 + 100 = 104 次

# 浪费了 50 倍的计算!
# 问题 2: 只能处理一个请求
# 如果有 10 个用户同时发送请求,只能一个一个处理
# GPU 利用率极低(~5%)

下一部分我们将解决这些问题。

1.7 小结

Version 0.1 实现了:

  • ✅ 基本的文本生成
  • ✅ 温度采样

存在的问题:

  • ❌ 重复计算(慢)
  • ❌ 无法批处理(吞吐量低)

第二部分:理解 Prefill 和 Decode

在优化之前,我们需要深入理解推理的两个阶段。

2.1 什么是 Prefill?

Prefill = 处理输入 prompt 的阶段

# 输入
prompt = "Hello, I am a"
input_ids = [15496, 11, 314, 716, 257]  # 5 个 tokens

# Prefill 阶段
outputs = model(input_ids)
# 一次性处理所有 5 个 tokens
# 输出: logits [1, 5, 50257]

# 目标: 为后续生成做准备

为什么叫 Prefill?

  • 因为会"预先填充"一些缓存(后面会讲 KV Cache)
  • 类似"预加载"的概念

2.2 什么是 Decode?

Decode = 逐个生成新 token 的阶段

# 已有的 tokens
current_ids = [15496, 11, 314, 716, 257]

# Decode 阶段(循环)
for step in range(max_new_tokens):
    # 每次只处理最后一个 token(理想情况)
    # 但我们的 Version 0.1 是处理所有 tokens(低效)
    outputs = model(current_ids)
    next_token = sample(outputs.logits[0, -1, :])
    current_ids.append(next_token)

2.3 两个阶段的特点对比

特性 Prefill Decode
处理的 tokens 多个(整个 prompt) 1 个(新生成的)
计算模式 并行(所有 tokens 一起算) 串行(一个一个生成)
计算量 大(处理 N 个 tokens) 小(处理 1 个 token)
时间 一次性较长 每步很短
优化重点 利用并行性 减少重复计算

2.4 可视化示例

# 输入: "Hello, how are you"
# Token IDs: [15496, 11, 703, 389, 345]

# ============================================
# Prefill 阶段(一次性处理)
# ============================================
# 输入: [15496, 11, 703, 389, 345]
#        ↓     ↓    ↓    ↓    ↓
# 模型: [模型处理所有 5 个 tokens]
#        ↓     ↓    ↓    ↓    ↓
# 输出: [pred1, pred2, pred3, pred4, pred5]
#                                      ↑
#                          我们只需要最后一个

# 采样: pred5 → next_token = 5145 ("?")

# ============================================
# Decode 阶段(循环生成)
# ============================================

# Step 1:
# 输入: [..., 5145]  (上一步生成的)
# 输出: pred6
# 采样: pred6 → 314 ("I")

# Step 2:
# 输入: [..., 314]
# 输出: pred7
# 采样: pred7 → 716 ("am")

# Step 3:
# 输入: [..., 716]
# 输出: pred8
# 采样: pred8 → 1327 ("fine")

# ...继续直到生成 EOS 或达到最大长度

2.5 手动分离 Prefill 和 Decode

import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

model_name = "gpt2"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_name)
model.eval()

def generate_v2(prompt, max_new_tokens=10, temperature=1.0):
    """
    Version 2: 明确区分 Prefill 和 Decode
    """
    print("=" * 50)
    print("PREFILL 阶段")
    print("=" * 50)

    # Prefill: 处理 prompt
    input_ids = tokenizer.encode(prompt, return_tensors='pt')
    print(f"Input tokens: {input_ids.shape[1]}")

    with torch.no_grad():
        outputs = model(input_ids)
        logits = outputs.logits

    print(f"Prefill output shape: {logits.shape}")

    # 采样第一个新 token
    probs = torch.softmax(logits[0, -1, :] / temperature, dim=-1)
    next_token_id = torch.multinomial(probs, num_samples=1).item()
    input_ids = torch.cat([input_ids, torch.tensor([[next_token_id]])], dim=1)

    print(f"First generated token: {tokenizer.decode(next_token_id)}")

    print("\n" + "=" * 50)
    print("DECODE 阶段")
    print("=" * 50)

    # Decode: 逐个生成
    for i in range(max_new_tokens - 1):
        with torch.no_grad():

典型结果(GPU):

Prefill time: 394.24 ms
Decode avg time: 233.29 ms

Total time: 4826.76 ms

问题:Decode 为什么越来越慢?

# Step 1: 处理 6 个 tokens (prompt 5 + generated 1)
# Step 2: 处理 7 个 tokens (prompt 5 + generated 2)
# Step 3: 处理 8 个 tokens (prompt 5 + generated 3)
# ...
# Step 20: 处理 25 个 tokens (prompt 5 + generated 20)

# 每一步都在重新计算之前的 tokens!

下一部分我们用 KV Cache 解决这个问题。


第三部分:加速优化 - KV Cache

3.1 为什么需要 KV Cache?

回顾 Transformer 的 Attention 计算:

# 简化的 Attention 伪代码
def attention(input_ids):
    # 计算 Q, K, V
    Q = input_ids @ W_q  # Query
    K = input_ids @ W_k  # Key
    V = input_ids @ W_v  # Value

    # Attention 计算
    scores = Q @ K.T
    attn_weights = softmax(scores)
    output = attn_weights @ V

    return output

问题:每次生成新 token 时,之前的 K 和 V 都重新计算了

# Step 1: input_ids = [t1, t2, t3]
K1 = compute_K([t1, t2, t3])  # 计算 K
V1 = compute_V([t1, t2, t3])  # 计算 V

# Step 2: input_ids = [t1, t2, t3, t4]
K2 = compute_K([t1, t2, t3, t4])  # t1,t2,t3 的 K 重复计算了!
V2 = compute_V([t1, t2, t3, t4])  # t1,t2,t3 的 V 重复计算了!

# Step 3: input_ids = [t1, t2, t3, t4, t5]
K3 = compute_K([t1, t2, t3, t4, t5])  # 又重复计算!
V3 = compute_V([t1, t2, t3, t4, t5])  # 又重复计算!

解决方案:缓存已经计算过的 K 和 V

# Step 1:
K_cache = compute_K([t1, t2, t3])  # 计算并缓存
V_cache = compute_V([t1, t2, t3])

# Step 2:
K_new = compute_K([t4])  # 只计算新 token
V_new = compute_V([t4])
K_cache = concat(K_cache, K_new)  # 追加到缓存
V_cache = concat(V_cache, V_new)

# Step 3:
K_new = compute_K([t5])  # 只计算新 token
V_new = compute_V([t5])
K_cache = concat(K_cache, K_new)
V_cache = concat(V_cache, V_new)

outputs = model(input_ids, use_cache=True)
past_key_values = outputs.past_key_values

print(f"Type: {type(past_key_values)}")
# tuple

print(f"Number of layers: {len(past_key_values)}")
# 12 (GPT-2 有 12 层)

print(f"Each layer: {type(past_key_values[0])}")
# tuple (key, value)

print(f"Key shape: {past_key_values[0][0].shape}")
# [batch, num_heads, seq_len, head_dim]
# [1, 12, 2, 64] for "Hello world"

print(f"Value shape: {past_key_values[0][1].shape}")
# [1, 12, 2, 64]

# 完整结构
# past_key_values = (
#     (layer_0_key, layer_0_value),  # [1, 12, 2, 64] each
#     (layer_1_key, layer_1_value),
#     ...
#     (layer_11_key, layer_11_value),
# )

3.5 手动实现简单的 KV Cache

为了更好理解原理,我们手动实现一个简化版:

    def forward(self, x, past_kv=None):
        """
        x: [batch, seq_len, hidden_size]

        k = self.k_proj(x)
        v = self.v_proj(x)

        # Reshape 成多头
        q = q.view(batch, seq_len, self.num_heads, self.head_dim)
        k = k.view(batch, seq_len, self.num_heads, self.head_dim)
        v = v.view(batch, seq_len, self.num_heads, self.head_dim)

        # Attention
        scores = q @ k.transpose(-2, -1) / (self.head_dim ** 0.5)
        attn_weights = torch.softmax(scores, dim=-1)
        output = attn_weights @ v

        # Permute back
        output = output.permute(0, 2, 1, 3).contiguous()
        output = output.view(batch, seq_len, self.hidden_size)

        # 输出投影

        # 返回输出和新的 KV(用于下次缓存)
        return output, (k.permute(0, 2, 1, 3), v.permute(0, 2, 1, 3))

# 测试
attn = SimplifiedAttentionWithCache()

# Prefill

print(f"Prefill output: {output.shape}")
print(f"Cached K: {past_kv[0].shape}, V: {past_kv[1].shape}")

Updated K: torch.Size([1, 6, 4, 16]), V: torch.Size([1, 6, 4, 16])

3.6 小结

Version 3 (with KV Cache) 实现了:

  • ✅ 消除重复计算
  • ✅ 10-20x 加速
  • ✅ 每个 Decode step 只处理 1 个 token

下一步: 支持批处理,同时处理多个请求


第四部分:处理多个请求 - Batching

4.1 为什么需要 Batching?

# 场景:3 个用户同时发送请求
user1: "Hello"
user2: "What is AI"
user3: "Once upon a time"

# Version 3 的处理方式(串行)
generate(user1)  # 5ms
generate(user2)  # 5ms
generate(user3)  # 5ms
# 总时间: 15ms

# 使用 Batching(并行)
generate_batch([user1, user2, user3])  # 6ms
# 总时间: 6ms
# 加速: 2.5x

4.2 Batching 的挑战:不同长度

# 问题:用户输入长度不同
user1: [1, 2, 3]        # 3 tokens
user2: [4, 5, 6, 7]     # 4 tokens
user3: [8, 9]           # 2 tokens

# 如何组成一个 batch?
# PyTorch 的 tensor 必须是矩形的(所有行相同长度)

解决方案:Padding(填充)

# 填充到相同长度(最长的)
max_len = 4

user1_padded: [1, 2, 3, 0]     # 填充 1 个 0
user2_padded: [4, 5, 6, 7]     # 不需要填充
user3_padded: [8, 9, 0, 0]     # 填充 2 个 0

# 组成 batch
batch = torch.tensor([
    [1, 2, 3, 0],
    [4, 5, 6, 7],
    [8, 9, 0, 0]
])
# shape: [3, 4]

4.3 实现 Batching

    ], dim=1)

    # Decode

        # 只输入最后一个 token
        last_tokens = input_ids[:, -1:]

        with torch.no_grad():

4.4 理解 Attention Mask

# Attention Mask 的作用:告诉模型哪些位置是 padding

input_ids:
[[1, 2, 3, 0],     # 0 是 padding
 [4, 5, 6, 7],     # 无 padding
 [8, 9, 0, 0]]     # 两个 padding

attention_mask:
[[1, 1, 1, 0],     # 最后一个位置是 padding,mask 掉
 [1, 1, 1, 1],     # 全部有效
 [1, 1, 0, 0]]     # 最后两个是 padding

# 在 Attention 计算时:
# scores = Q @ K.T
# scores = scores.masked_fill(attention_mask == 0, -inf)
# 这样 padding 位置的 attention 权重会是 0

4.5 性能测试

import time

def benchmark_batch_sizes():
    """测试不同 batch size 的性能"""
    prompt = "Hello, I am"
    max_new_tokens = 20

    for batch_size in [1, 2, 4, 8]:
        prompts = [prompt] * batch_size

        start = time.time()
        results = generate_batch(prompts, max_new_tokens=max_new_tokens)
        elapsed = time.time() - start

典型结果(GPU):

Batch size 1: 1165.84 ms, Throughput: 17.16 tokens/s
Batch size 2: 1915.17 ms, Throughput: 20.89 tokens/s
Batch size 4: 2063.64 ms, Throughput: 38.77 tokens/s
Batch size 8: 2736.99 ms, Throughput: 58.46 tokens/s

观察:

  • Batch size 增大,吞吐量提升
  • 但单个请求的延迟也增加了

4.6 小结

Version 4 (with Batching) 实现了:

  • ✅ 同时处理多个请求
  • ✅ 提升吞吐量 2-3x
  • ✅ 处理不同长度的输入(padding)

存在的问题:

  • ❌ 所有序列必须同时开始和结束
  • ❌ 短序列完成后仍要等长序列
  • ❌ 浪费计算资源

下一步: 实现 Scheduler,支持动态批处理


第五部分:资源管理 - Scheduler

5.1 问题:静态 Batching 的局限

# 场景:4 个请求
batch = [
    seq1,  # 需要生成 10 tokens
    seq2,  # 需要生成 50 tokens
    seq3,  # 需要生成 20 tokens
    seq4,  # 需要生成 100 tokens
]

# Version 4 的处理:
# - 全部一起开始
# - seq1 在 step 10 完成,但要等到 step 100 才能返回
# - seq1-seq3 浪费了 90, 50, 80 步的计算

# GPU 利用率:
# Step 1-10:   4 个序列 (100%)
# Step 11-20:  3 个序列 (75%)
# Step 21-50:  2 个序列 (50%)
# Step 51-100: 1 个序列 (25%)
# 平均: ~62%

解决方案:Continuous Batching

# 动态批处理:
# - 序列完成后立即移除
# - 用新请求填补空位
# - GPU 始终保持满载

5.4 小结

Version 5 (with Scheduler) 实现了:

  • ✅ 动态批处理(Continuous Batching)
  • ✅ 序列完成后立即移除
  • ✅ 自动补充新请求
  • ✅ 提升 GPU 利用率

存在的问题:

  • ❌ KV Cache 占用大量显存
  • ❌ 不同长度的序列浪费 KV Cache 空间
  • ❌ 无法高效管理内存

下一步: PagedAttention,优化 KV Cache 内存管理


第六部分:内存优化 - PagedAttention

6.1 问题:KV Cache 的内存浪费

# 场景:batch_size=4, max_seq_len=1024

# 预分配 KV Cache
kv_cache_size_per_seq = max_seq_len * hidden_size * num_layers * 2
total_kv_cache = kv_cache_size_per_seq * batch_size

# 实际使用情况:
# seq1: 50 tokens  (使用 50/1024 = 4.9%)
# seq2: 200 tokens (使用 200/1024 = 19.5%)
# seq3: 100 tokens (使用 100/1024 = 9.8%)
# seq4: 500 tokens (使用 500/1024 = 48.8%)

# 平均利用率: ~20%
# 浪费: 80%

PagedAttention 的解决方案:

像操作系统的虚拟内存一样,将 KV Cache 分成固定大小的"块"(blocks)。

# 不再为每个序列预分配整块内存
# 而是按需分配固定大小的 blocks

block_size = 16  # 每个 block 存储 16 个 tokens

# seq1 (50 tokens): 需要 4 个 blocks (50/16 ≈ 4)
# seq2 (200 tokens): 需要 13 个 blocks
# seq3 (100 tokens): 需要 7 个 blocks
# seq4 (500 tokens): 需要 32 个 blocks

# 总共: 4 + 13 + 7 + 32 = 56 blocks
# 实际存储: 56 * 16 = 896 tokens
# vs 预分配: 4 * 1024 = 4096 tokens
# 节省: (4096 - 896) / 4096 = 78%

6.2 实现简单的 BlockManager

def get_physical_address(seq, token_index, block_size=16):
    # token_index: 0-49
    block_index = token_index // block_size  # 在哪个 block
    block_offset = token_index % block_size  # block 内偏移

    physical_block_id = seq['block_table'][block_index]
    physical_address = physical_block_id * block_size + block_offset

    return physical_address

# 例如:访问 seq 的第 25 个 token
token_index = 25
block_index = 25 // 16 = 1           # 第 1 个 block
block_offset = 25 % 16 = 9           # block 内第 9 个位置
physical_block_id = seq['block_table'][1] = 12
physical_address = 12 * 16 + 9 = 201

# KV Cache 的实际存储位置就是 physical_address

Flash Attention 通过分块计算在线 Softmax避免存储完整的 attention matrix。

  1. 我们不需要同时存储所有的 attention scores
  2. 可以分块计算,每次只处理一小块
  3. 使用在线算法更新 softmax 的统计量

7.1.6 小结

Flash Attention 的优势:

  • ✅ 显存占用从 O(N²) 降到 O(N)
  • ✅ 速度提升 2-5x (序列越长提升越大)
  • ✅ 支持更长的序列 (可以处理 8k+ tokens)
  • ✅ 数值稳定性更好
  • ✅ 不改变算法逻辑,结果完全一致

适用场景:

  • 长序列推理 (>1024 tokens)
  • 显存受限的情况
  • 需要高吞吐量的场景

7.2 CUDA Graph - 消除 CPU-GPU 通信开销

7.2.1 理解问题

每次调用 CUDA kernel 都有 CPU-GPU 通信开销:

import torch
import time

def measure_kernel_launch_overhead():
    """测量 kernel launch 的开销"""

    x = torch.randn(1000, 1000, device='cuda')

    # 小的计算 (kernel 执行时间很短)
    def small_compute():
        return x + 1

    # 测量 1000 次 kernel launch 的时间
    torch.cuda.synchronize()
    start = time.time()

    for _ in range(1000):
        _ = small_compute()

    torch.cuda.synchronize()
    total_time = time.time() - start

    print(f"1000 次 kernel launch: {total_time*1000:.2f} ms")
    print(f"平均每次: {total_time*1000/1000:.2f} ms")
    print(f"每次 kernel launch 开销: ~5-50 µs")

    # 对于 Decode 阶段,每生成一个 token 都要:
    # 1. forward pass (多个 kernels)
    # 2. sample (argmax/multinomial)
    # 3. append to sequence
    #
    # 假设每步 50 个 kernel calls
    # 生成 100 tokens = 5000 kernel calls
    # 开销: 5000 * 20µs = 100ms
    #
    # 这是纯开销,不包含实际计算!

measure_kernel_launch_overhead()

问题分析:

# 标准 Decode 循环
for step in range(num_tokens):
    # CPU 准备输入
    input_tensor = prepare_input()  # CPU

    # CPU → GPU: 发送 kernel launch 命令
    # Kernel 1: Embedding
    embedded = model.embed(input_tensor)  # CPU overhead ~20µs

    # Kernel 2-N: Transformer layers
    hidden = model.layers(embedded)  # 每层 ~20µs overhead

    # Kernel N+1: Output projection
    logits = model.lm_head(hidden)  # ~20µs overhead

    # Kernel N+2: Sampling
    next_token = sample(logits)  # ~20µs overhead

    # GPU → CPU: 取回结果
    next_token_cpu = next_token.cpu()  # 同步点

    # 每步累积的 overhead: 50+ kernels * 20µs = 1ms+
    # 生成 100 tokens: 100ms+ 纯开销

# 这还不包括 Python 解释器的开销!

7.2.2 CUDA Graph 的解决方案

CUDA Graph 将整个计算图"录制"下来,后续直接重放:

# CUDA Graph 的工作流程:

# 1. 录制阶段 (Record)
graph = torch.cuda.CUDAGraph()
with torch.cuda.graph(graph):
    # 这里的所有操作都会被记录
    output = model(input)

# 2. 重放阶段 (Replay)
# 只需要一次 CPU → GPU 命令
graph.replay()

# 优势:
# - 所有 kernels 的拓扑关系已知
# - 可以提前优化调度
# - 只需一次 CPU-GPU 通信
# - kernel launch overhead 从 N 次降到 1 次

1. 输入形状必须固定

   - Decode 阶段: 总是 [batch, 1] → 可以用 graph

2. 不能包含 CPU-GPU 数据传输
   - 不能在 graph 内部调用 .cpu()
   - 不能在 graph 内部打印 tensor 值

3. 不能包含动态控制流
   - 不能有 if/else 依赖于 tensor 值
   - 不能有动态的 for 循环次数

4. 需要 warmup

   - 需要运行几次稳定后再录制

7.2.6 小结

CUDA Graph 的优势:

  • ✅ 减少 kernel launch overhead (1.3-1.5x 加速)
  • ✅ 降低延迟 (每个 token 快 0.5-1ms)
  • ✅ 更好的 GPU 利用率
  • ✅ 确定性执行 (调试更容易)

适用场景:

  • Decode 阶段 (形状固定)
  • 低延迟要求 (在线服务)
  • 小 batch size (overhead 占比大)

不适用:

  • Prefill 阶段 (形状变化)
  • 需要动态控制流
  • CPU-GPU 交互频繁

7.3 Torch Compile - JIT 编译优化

7.3.1 理解 Torch Compile

PyTorch 2.0 引入了 torch.compile,可以将 PyTorch 代码编译成优化的内核。

关键优化:

# 1. Kernel Fusion (算子融合)
#
# 未优化:
x = input + 1      # Kernel 1
y = x * 2          # Kernel 2
z = torch.relu(y)  # Kernel 3
# 3 个 kernels, 2 次内存读写
#
# Torch Compile 优化后:
z = torch.relu((input + 1) * 2)  # 1 个融合 kernel
# 1 个 kernel, 0 次中间内存读写

# 2. Memory Planning (内存规划)
#
# 提前分配所有需要的内存
# 重用临时 buffer
# 减少内存碎片

# 3. Operator Specialization (算子特化)
#
# 针对特定输入形状生成专门的代码
# 消除动态分支
# 更好的向量化

Torch Compile 的优势:

  • ✅ 自动优化,无需手动修改代码
  • ✅ 1.3-2x 加速 (模型越复杂提升越大)
  • ✅ 减少 Python overhead
  • ✅ 更好的 kernel fusion

注意事项:

  • 首次运行慢 (需要编译)
  • 编译时间 (几秒到几分钟)
  • 可能增加显存占用

7.4.5 量化的权衡

"""
量化的权衡分析:

1. FP16:
   优点:
   - 50% 显存节省
   - 1.5-2x 加速 (GPU 支持 Tensor Cores)
   - 几乎无精度损失
   缺点:
   - 数值范围小 (容易 overflow)

   适用: 几乎所有场景

2. INT8:
   优点:
   - 75% 显存节省
   - 允许加载更大模型
   - 精度损失小 (<1% perplexity 下降)
   缺点:
   - 速度提升有限 (1.2-1.4x)
   - 量化/反量化有开销

   适用: 显存受限,模型太大

3. INT4:
   优点:
   - 87% 显存节省
   - 可以加载 4x 大的模型
   缺点:
   - 速度可能更慢 (量化开销大)
   - 精度损失明显 (2-5% perplexity 下降)

   适用: 极度显存受限

选择建议:
- 有足够显存 → FP16 (最佳性价比)
- 显存不够 → INT8
- 极度显存不足 → INT4
- 追求极致性能 → FP16 + Flash Attention + CUDA Graph

  3. Torch Compile: JIT 编译优化, 1.3-2x 加速
  4. 量化: FP16/INT8/INT4, 节省 50-87% 显存

推荐的优化路径

  1. 第一优先级: KV Cache (必须, 10x+ 提升)
  2. 第二优先级: FP16 + Batching (简单有效, 3-5x 提升)
  3. 第三优先级: Flash Attention (长序列必备)
  4. 第四优先级: CUDA Graph + Torch Compile (锦上添花, 2x 提升)
  5. 显存受限时: INT8/INT4 量化

第八部分:对比学习 nano-vllm

8.1 我们的实现 vs nano-vllm

组件 我们的实现 nano-vllm
KV Cache Hugging Face 内置 手动实现 PagedAttention
Scheduler 简单队列 完整的 Continuous Batching
BlockManager 简化版本 支持 Prefix Caching
Attention 标准 PyTorch Flash Attention + Triton Kernel
Decode 标准执行 CUDA Graph 优化
并行 单卡 Tensor Parallelism

8.2 阅读 nano-vllm 的建议

现在你已经理解了基础,可以深入阅读 nano-vllm:

  1. 从 LLMEngine 开始 (llm_engine.py)

    • generate() 方法
    • 理解整体流程
  2. 理解 Scheduler (scheduler.py)

    • schedule() 如何选择序列
    • postprocess() 如何处理结果
  3. 深入 ModelRunner (model_runner.py)

    • prepare_prefill()prepare_decode()
    • run_model() 的 CUDA Graph 逻辑
  4. 学习 BlockManager (block_manager.py)

    • allocate() 的 prefix caching 实现
    • compute_hash() 如何检测前缀
  5. 研究 Attention (attention.py)

    • Flash Attention 的集成
    • Triton kernel 的 KV 存储

8.3 实验建议

  1. 修改参数

    # 尝试不同的配置
    llm = LLM(
        model_path,
        max_num_seqs=256,        # 调整并发数
        kvcache_block_size=128,  # 调整 block 大小
        enforce_eager=True       # 禁用 CUDA Graph
    )
  2. 添加日志

    # 在关键位置添加打印
    def schedule(self):
        print(f"Waiting: {len(self.waiting)}, Running: {len(self.running)}")
        # ...
  3. 性能测试

    # 测试不同优化的效果
    # - 有无 KV Cache
    # - 有无 CUDA Graph
    # - 不同 batch size
