linfeng-yuan 068ed706c8 [feat][torchair] support super kernel feat for quantized dsr1 (#3485)
### What this PR does / why we need it?
Port #1916 and #2157 to master branch to fuse operators in deepseek moe
layers, which can reduce scheduling overhead on devices. Note that this
feature is valid only when `tp_size = 1` and
`multistream_overlap_shared_expert` is enabled with torchair graph mode.

### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
Users can enable this feature with `--additional-config
'{"torchair_graph_config":{"enabled":true, "enable_super_kernel":true},
"multistream_overlap_shared_expert":true}'`.

### How was this patch tested?
E2E deepseek serving with 2P1D disaggregated prefill scenarios.

# 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 |
| `weight_prefetch_config` | dict | `{}` | The config options for weight prefetch |
| `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. |
| `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. |
| `dynamic_eplb` | bool | `False` | Whether to enable dynamic eplb |
| `num_iterations_eplb_update` | int | `400` | Forward iterations when eplb would begin |
| `gate_eplb` | bool | `False` | Whether to enale eplb only once. |
| `num_wait_worker_iterations` | int | `30` | The forward iterations when eplb worker will finish cpu task. In our test default value 30 would cover most cases. |
| `expert_map_record_path` | str | `None` | When dynamic eplb is completed, save the current expert load heatmap to the specified path. |
| `init_redundancy_expert` | int | `0` | Specify redundant experts during initialization. |
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). |
| `enable_super_kernel` | bool | `False` | Whether to enable super kernel to fuse operators in deepseek moe layers. This option only takes effects on moe models using dynamic w8a8 quantization.|
**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. |
| `max_long_partial_prefills` | Union[int, float] | `float('inf')` | the maximum number of prompts longer than long_prefill_token_threshold that will be prefilled concurrently. |
| `long_prefill_token_threshold` | Union[int, float] | `float('inf')` | a request is considered long if the prompt is longer than this number of tokens. |
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.
**weight_prefetch_config**
| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|------------------|------|-------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------|
| `enabled` | bool | `False` | Whether to enable weight prefetch. |
| `prefetch_ratio` | dict | `{"attn": {"qkv": 1.0, "o": 1.0}, "moe": {"gate_up": 0.8}}` | Prefetch ratio of each weights. |
