In short, graph mode works in two steps: **capture and replay**. When engine starts, we will capture all of the ops in model forward and save it as a graph, and when req come in, we just replay the graph on devices, and waiting for result.
In short, graph mode works in two steps: **capture and replay**. When the engine starts, we capture all of the ops in the model forward and save it as a graph. When a request comes in, we just replay the graph on the device and wait for the result.
But in reality, graph mode is not that simple.
### Padding and Bucketing
Due to graph can only replay the ops captured before, without doing tiling and checking graph input, we need to ensure the consistency of the graph input, but we know that model input's shape depends on the request scheduled by Scheduler, we can't ensure the consistency.
Due to the fact that a graph can only replay the ops captured before, without doing tiling and checking graph input, we need to ensure the consistency of the graph input. However, we know that the model input's shape depends on the request scheduled by the Scheduler, so we can't ensure consistency.
Obviously, we can solve this problem by capturing the biggest shape and padding all of the model input to it. But it will bring a lot of redundant computing and make performance worse. So we can capture multiple graphs with different shape, and pad the model input to the nearest graph, which will greatly reduce redundant computing. But when `max_num_batched_tokens` is very large, the number of graphs that need to be captured will also become very large.

### Piecewise and Full graph
Due to the increasing complexity of the attention layer in current LLM, we can't ensure all types of attention can run in graph. In MLA, prefill_tokens and decode_tokens have different calculation method, so when a batch has both prefills and decodes in MLA, graph mode is difficult to handle this situation.

vLLM solves this problem with piecewise graph mode. We use eager mode to launch attention's ops, and use graph to deal with others. But it also bring some problems: The cost of launching ops has become large again, although much smaller than eager mode, but it will also lead to host bound when cpu is poor or `num_tokens` is small.

Altogether, we need to support both piecewise and full graph mode.
1. When attention can run in graph, we tend to choose full graph mode to achieve optimal performance;
2. When full graph is not work, use piecewise graph as a substitute;
3. When piecewise graph's performance is not good and full graph mode is blocked, separate prefills and decodes, and use full graph mode in **decode_only** situation. Because when a batch include prefill req, usually `num_tokens` will be quite big and not cause host bound.

## How is it implemented?
vLLM has already implemented most of the modules in graph mode. You can see more details at: [CUDA Graphs](https://docs.vllm.ai/en/latest/design/cuda_graphs.html)
When in graph mode, vLLM will call `current_platform.get_static_graph_wrapper_cls` to get current device's graph model wrapper, so what we need to do is to implement the graph mode wrapper on Ascend: `ACLGraphWrapper`.

When use piecewise graph, we just need to follow the above-mentioned process, but when in full graph, due to the complexity of the attention, sometimes we need to update attention op's param before execution. So we implement `update_attn_params` and `update_mla_attn_params` funcs for full graph mode. And when forward, memory will be reused between different ops, so we can't update attention op's param before forward. In ACL Graph, we use `torch.npu.graph_task_update_begin` and `torch.npu.graph_task_update_end` to do it, and use `torch.npu.ExternalEvent` to ensure order between params update and ops execution.

Before writing a patch, following the principle above, we should patch the least code. If it's necessary, we can patch the code in either **platform** or **worker** folder. Here is an example to patch `distributed` module in vLLM.
1. Decide which version of vLLM we should patch. For example, after analysis, here we want to patch both `0.10.0` and `main` of vLLM.
2. Decide which process we should patch. For example, here `distributed` belongs to the vLLM main process, so we should patch `platform`.

# Kimi-K2-Thinking
## Introduction
Kimi-K2-Thinking is a large-scale Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model developed by Moonshot AI. It features a hybrid thinking architecture that excels in complex reasoning and problem-solving tasks.
This document will show the main verification steps of the model, including supported features, environment preparation, single-node deployment, and functional verification.
## Supported Features
Refer to [supported features](../../user_guide/support_matrix/supported_models.md) to get the model's supported feature matrix.
Refer to [feature guide](../../user_guide/feature_guide/index.md) to get the feature's configuration.
## Environment Preparation
