### What this PR does / why we need it?
This PR implements the DeepSeek Expert Parallel Load Balancing (EPLB)
strategy to optimize expert distribution in vllm-ascend. The
implementation:
- Adapts the expert-map format to work with vllm-ascend's architecture
- Provides DeepSeek-provided mechanism to balance expert workload across
devices
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
This PR adds a new script that allows users to:
- Generate expert map configurations based on workload analysis
- Optimize expert distribution for their specific use case
### How was this patch tested?
To use this feature:
1. First collect expert heat information during model execution
2. Run the provided script to generate the expert map configuration
3. Apply the generated configuration to your vllm-ascend deployment
User example:
```bash
# expert_load_view.pt: dumped expert heat info file
python3 examples/eplb/eplb_strategy.py --exp_name 'deepseek_demo' \
--input_path expert_load_view.pt --output_path examples/eplb/results/demo \

task = 'Given a web search query, retrieve relevant passages that answer the query'
queries = [

]
# No need to add instruction for retrieval documents
documents = [
"The capital of China is Beijing.",
"Gravity is a force that attracts two bodies towards each other. It gives weight to physical objects and is responsible for the movement of planets around the sun."
]
input_texts = queries + documents
model = LLM(model="Qwen/Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B", task="embed")
outputs = model.embed(input_texts)
embeddings = torch.tensor([o.outputs.embedding for o in outputs])
scores = (embeddings[:2] @ embeddings[2:].T)
print(scores.tolist())

### What this PR does / why we need it?
Based on the design of dual-batch overlap proposed by Deepseek team and
also the implementation of fused moe in VLLM project, we implement the
multi-stream(also known as dual-batch) overlap for deepseek+mla on
Ascend NPU. We split the input batch of model into two microbatches and
then overlap the comp/comm ops in attention and moe layers using two
streams to improve the performance. Our approach can be easily extended
when adding dispatch/combine communications for moe layer.
Compared with the previously proposed
[draft](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/pull/842), we use
one stream for computation ops and the other for communication ops,
separately. In out opinions, it is beneficial for arranging the order of
executing different ops and thus avoiding the contention of
computation/communication resources.

llama](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/pull/15787/files)
ref: [dbo in
sglang](https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang/pull/4068/files#diff-b4937569fc71f6ad215181b633b2f89c7183a2b4ac39e41fc22635599a9be7de)
### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
Adding an env variable "VLLM_ENABLE_DBO". Users can enable dbo by
setting "VLLM_ASCEND_ENABLE_DBO=1"
See /examples/offline_dualbatch_overlap_npu.py for more info.
### How was this patch tested?
This patch can be tested with vllm-0.9.0 using its online service with
benchmark tests. We have decoupled the func of dbo from vllm and it
should be able to run without any modification to the code of vllm(some
modifications is better to implement in vllm though).
Any advice/discussion is welcome.
### Performance Benchmark
We have ran the benchmark_serving script of vllm to test the performance
after using dual-batch overlap.
`python -m vllm.entrypoints.openai.api_server \
--model=DeepSeek-R1-W8A8 \
--trust-remote-code \
--distributed-executor-backend=mp \
-tp=16 \

'{"expert_tensor_parallel_size":1,"enable_inter_dp_scheduling":true,"init_torchair_graph_batch_sizes":true,"trace_recompiles":true,"ascend_scheduler_config":{},"enable_graph_mode":false}'`
and run benchmark with the parameters of :
`--dataset-name random --random-input-len 4096 --random-output-len 1
--num-prompts 200 --max-concurrency 8 --request-rate 5
--metric-percentiles 90`
1. test with the version using allgather+allreduce in Ascend 910B (tp16
ep16 + deepseek r1 w8a8)
2. test with the version using alltoall:
prefill qps: 0.90 -> 1.01
Mean TTFT：8226->7432ms
The overlap approach when using alltoall communication can be further
optimized by overlapping micro-batch1's moe comp with micro-batch2's
dispatch a2a comm

### What this PR does / why we need it?
vLLM Ascend plugin (vllm-ascend) is a backend plugin for running vLLM on
the Ascend NPU.
This plugin is the recommended approach for supporting the Ascend
backend within the vLLM community. It adheres to the principles outlined
in the [RFC]: Hardware pluggable, providing a hardware-pluggable
interface that decouples the integration of the Ascend NPU with vLLM.
This patch also include changes to make CI work and use cache speed up
e2e test, including:
1. Change push (post merge ci) and pull_request (pr ci) trigger branch
to main
2. Make mypy work by ignore base_communicator and clear unused deps
3. Several improvements for vllm_ascend_test:
- use cache (pip, ms, hf) speed up e2e test (25mins --> 5mins)
- switch `git clone` command to `action/checkout` to speedup checkout
and
- Enable sv for pytest for better info dump
- Remove network host to resole `docker: conflicting ontions: cannot
attach both user-defined and non-user-definednetwork-modes`, which is a
problem on docker 1.45 but not on 1.39.
4. Adapt MLA decode optimizations:
