From 0e3186f07c0c60808f67eb66bac9d5c301d465c5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: lhp-deep Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 17:29:14 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] [model_runner_v2]:optimize the performance of the _compute_slot_mappings_kernel (#7575) ### What this PR does / why we need it? This PR optimizes the `_compute_slot_mappings_kernel` for Ascend NPUs to improve performance. The key changes include: - A new Triton kernel implementation (`_compute_slot_mappings_kernel`) with NPU-specific optimizations, such as using `tl.gather` to handle non-contiguous memory access and replacing modulo operations. - A new method `compute_slot_mappings` in `AscendBlockTables` to use this new kernel. - An end-to-end test to verify the correctness of the new kernel against the reference GPU implementation. The optimization is needed to avoid performance degradation from scalar computation on Ascend devices. ### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change? ### How was this patch tested? - vLLM version: v0.18.0 -
