whx 0a526768f5 [Feature] Support moe multi-stream for aclgraph. (#2946)
This PR puts the calculation of shared experts into a separate stream,
overlaping with routing experts.

# Additional Configuration
additional configuration is a mechanism provided by vLLM to allow plugins to control inner behavior by their own. vLLM Ascend uses this mechanism to make the project more flexible.
## How to use
With either online mode or offline mode, users can use additional configuration. Take Qwen3 as an example:
**Online mode**:
```bash
vllm serve Qwen/Qwen3-8B --additional-config='{"config_key":"config_value"}'
```
**Offline mode**:
```python
from vllm import LLM
LLM(model="Qwen/Qwen3-8B", additional_config={"config_key":"config_value"})
```
### Configuration options
The following table lists the additional configuration options available in vLLM Ascend:
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|-------------------------------| ---- |------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `torchair_graph_config` | dict | `{}` | The config options for torchair graph mode |
| `ascend_scheduler_config` | dict | `{}` | The config options for ascend scheduler |
| `refresh` | bool | `false` | Whether to refresh global ascend config content. This value is usually used by rlhf or ut/e2e test case. |
| `expert_map_path` | str | `None` | When using expert load balancing for the MOE model, an expert map path needs to be passed in. |
| `enable_prefetch` | bool | `False` | Whether to enable weight prefetch. |
| `kv_cache_dtype` | str | `None` | When using the kv cache quantization method, kv cache dtype needs to be set, currently only int8 is supported. |
| `enable_shared_expert_dp` | bool | `False` | When the shared expert in DP, it has better performance but consumes more memory. Currently only DeepSeek series models are supported to use. |
| `lmhead_tensor_parallel_size` | int | `None` | The custom tensor parallel size of lmhead. |
| `oproj_tensor_parallel_size` | int | `None` | The custom tensor parallel size of oproj. |
| `multistream_overlap_shared_expert`| bool | `False` | Whether to enable multistream shared expert. This option only takes effects on moe models with shared experts. |
The details of each config option are as follows:
**torchair_graph_config**
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
| ---- | ---- | ------- | ----------- |
| `enabled` | bool | `False` | Whether to enable torchair graph mode. Currently only DeepSeek series models and PanguProMoE are supported to use torchair graph mode |
| `mode` | str | `None` | When using reduce-overhead mode for torchair, mode needs to be set |
| `enable_multistream_mla`| bool | `False` | Whether to put vector ops of MLA to another stream. This option only takes effects on models using MLA (e.g., DeepSeek). |
| `enable_view_optimize` | bool | `True` | Whether to enable torchair view optimization |
| `enable_frozen_parameter` | bool | `True` | Whether to fix the memory address of weights during inference to reduce the input address refresh time during graph execution. |
| `use_cached_graph` | bool | `False` | Whether to use cached graph |
| `graph_batch_sizes` | list[int] | `[]` | The batch size for torchair graph cache |
| `graph_batch_sizes_init` | bool | `False` | Init graph batch size dynamically if `graph_batch_sizes` is empty |
| `enable_kv_nz`| bool | `False` | Whether to enable kvcache NZ layout. This option only takes effects on models using MLA (e.g., DeepSeek). |
**ascend_scheduler_config**
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
| ---- | ---- | ------- | ----------- |
| `enabled` | bool | `False` | Whether to enable ascend scheduler for V1 engine|
| `enable_pd_transfer` | bool | `False` | Whether to enable pd transfer. When using it, decode is started only when prefill of all requests is done. This option only takes effects on offline inference. |
| `decode_max_num_seqs` | int | `0` | Whether to change max_num_seqs of decode phase when enable pd transfer. This option only takes effects when enable_pd_transfer is True. |
ascend_scheduler_config also support the options from [vllm scheduler config](https://docs.vllm.ai/en/stable/api/vllm/config.html#vllm.config.SchedulerConfig). For example, you can add `enable_chunked_prefill: True` to ascend_scheduler_config as well.
### Example
An example of additional configuration is as follows:
```
{
"torchair_graph_config": {
"enabled": True,
"use_cached_graph": True,
"graph_batch_sizes": [1, 2, 4, 8],
"graph_batch_sizes_init": False,
"enable_kv_nz": False
},
"ascend_scheduler_config": {
"enabled": True,
"enable_chunked_prefill": True,
},
"multistream_overlap_shared_expert": True,
"refresh": False,
}
```
