Changes

  • Run DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813 AgentX on cluster:gb200-nv: aggregated TP8/DEP8 on 2 nodes (8 GPUs), or 1P-DEP8/1D-DEP8 on 4 nodes (16 GPUs).
  • Pin the patched DSpark ARM64 image and report its bundled llm-d router v0.10.0. Keep native context and golden AL: K5/3.61 for aggregate/decode, K1/1.84 for disaggregated prefill; accuracy evals use real verification.
  • Declare Mooncake DRAM offloading only for the offload variants, using 60% of available CPU DRAM; SSD offloading is disabled.
  • Use the GB200 launcher and thin wrappers. Discovery excludes headless TP followers and supplies vLLM metrics endpoints to AIPerf. Remove the B200 launcher changes and binary overrides.

Validation

Generated GB200 matrices have 2-node aggregate and 4-node disaggregated allocations. Live sweep validation is in progress; no successful GPU result is claimed yet.


Note

Medium Risk
Touches multinode SLURM orchestration, KV transfer (NIXL/Mooncake), and benchmark result collection; misconfiguration could waste GPU time or produce invalid metrics, but changes are confined to benchmark/CI paths.

Overview
Adds GB200 cluster:gb200-nv AgentX coverage for DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813 on llm-d/vLLM (DSpark): master keys for aggregated TP8/DEP8 (2 nodes) and disaggregated 1P-DEP8/1D-DEP8 (4 nodes), plus matching agentic recipe YAMLs (Mooncake DRAM offload where declared).

The llm-d multinode path gains aggregated mode (DECODE_NODES=0), recipe.py (DSpark golden AL injection, Mooncake/offload validation, DRAM budget sizing), agentic.sh (discovered vLLM /metrics for AIPerf), and server.sh updates (Mooncake MultiConnector, coordinator on rank 0 for agg, stricter required env). GB200 launchers pick agg vs disagg wrappers, stage the 0813 checkpoint, and collect agentic logs; disagg/agg shell wrappers are thinned to delegate to submit.sh.

submit.sh/job.slurm require explicit env (including pyxis vs docker by runner), forward AgentX metadata into containers, and skip legacy router binary mounts when IS_AGENTIC=1. Docs, changelog, and a unit test for the agentic metrics adapter are included.

…DEP8)

Ports the agentX (llm-manifesto/agentx-mvp) DeepSeek-V4-Pro 1P-EP8/1D-EP8
K8s deployment to InferenceX's SLURM-based llmd-vllm framework on B200
(8 GPUs/node, so each DEP8 role fits on one node vs GB200's 4 GPUs/node
needing two). New master-config key dsv4-fp4-b200-llmd-vllm-agentx and
recipe carry the agentX EPP scheduling config (disagg-profile-handler's
`deciders:` shape, prefix-cache-affinity-filter, token-load-scorer, etc.,
ported verbatim from a real agentx-mvp results snapshot) and per-role
vLLM tuning, dropping the Kubernetes/manifesto-specific Mooncake KV chain
in favor of server.sh's existing plain NixlConnector.

Wires a self-contained FRAMEWORK==llmd-vllm branch into
runners/launch_b200-dgxc.sh (ahead of the srtctl/srt-slurm path used by
the other B200 multinode frameworks, which llm-d bypasses entirely),
mirroring launch_gb200-nv.sh's pyxis/enroot + slurm_utils.sh helpers
pattern. Pins a B200-only EPP/pd-sidecar v0.10.0 binary override
(LLMD_BIN_DIR) for the newer EPP plugin shape, isolated from GB200's
shared v0.9.0 binaries/path.

- dsv4-fp4-b200-llmd-vllm-agentx: drop c256 from the 1P-DEP8/1D-DEP8
  conc-list per request.
- extract-binaries.sh: support BINARIES_ENV_FILE to source an alternate
  pins file, so a cluster-scoped router-version bump doesn't require
  editing the shared binaries.env (whose EPP_FROM_IMAGE/
  ROUTING_SIDECAR_IMAGE are plain assignments and can't be overridden
  via pre-exported env vars).
- Add binaries-b200-v0.10.0.env: B200-only v0.10.0 EPP/pd-sidecar pins,
  linux/amd64 platform (B200 is x86_64, unlike GB200's arm64 default),
  dedicated LLMD_BIN_DIR.
- launch_b200-dgxc.sh: fix the extraction command documented in the
  LLMD_BIN_DIR comment, which previously relied on the non-overridable
  env vars above and would have silently extracted v0.9.0 binaries.

Sibling of the P/D disagg benchmark: one engine per topology does both
prefill and decode (1 node / 8 GPUs each), no P/D KV handoff.

- server.sh/job.slurm: add an aggregated mode (DECODE_NODES=0) - no
  decode role, no pd-sidecar, no --kv_transfer_config (there is nothing
  to hand KV off to), and the sole engine's rank 0 takes over the
  EPP/Envoy/bench coordinator duties normally owned by the decode
  leader. Also fixes the underlying DECODE_NODES=0 bugs: job.slurm's
  out-of-bounds IPS[] read for DECODE_LEADER_IP, and server.sh emitting
  a bogus empty-address decode-0 endpoint in endpoints.yaml.
- New recipes dsv4-fp4-b200-agentx-agg-{tp8,dep8}.yaml: per-role vLLM
  tuning ported from agentX's ix-agg-base/agg-tp8 and
  ix-agg-dep-base/agg-dep8, plus a minimal single-schedulingProfile EPP
  config (no disagg-profile-handler needed - llm-d auto-selects
  single-profile-handler for one profile). Needs no EPP router bump
  since every plugin used is already in the default v0.9.0 binaries.
- New dsv4_fp4_b200_llmd-vllm-agg.sh wrapper + launch_b200-dgxc.sh now
  branches its llmd-vllm wrapper-script choice on $DISAGG instead of
  hardcoding the disagg wrapper.
- New dsv4-fp4-b200-llmd-vllm-agentx-agg master-config key (disagg:
  false, prefill num-worker=1 / decode num-worker=0 per the
  process_result.py / dynamo-vllm aggregated convention). conc-lists
  mirror the agentX dspark historical runs (results_ilmarkov-2-ix-agg-
  tp8-dspark-v3-long, results_ilmarkov-ix-agg-dep8-dspark-1308-long).
- README.md + perf-changelog.yaml updated.

Review of PR #2719 — DeepSeek-V4-Pro llm-d B200 (AgentX)

  • Gather context and read the full diff
  • Review benchmark scripts and llm-d recipes
  • Validate configs/nvidia-master.yaml changes (image accessibility, model prefixes)
  • Validate perf-changelog.yaml entry (position, pairing with config change)
  • Review launcher script changes (runners/launch_b200-nscale-compat.sh)
  • Post inline comments and final summary

Summary

Found 3 blocking and 2 warning issues (posted as inline comments):

  1. 🔴 dsv4-fp4-b200-llmd-vllm-agentx-agg uses disagg: false with prefill:/decode: search-space blocks — rejected by master-config validation (validation.py:860, requires worker: + num-nodes:) and would KeyError('worker') in multinode_worker_pair, breaking sweep generation for the entire master config.
  2. 🔴 The three new perf-changelog.yaml entries are inserted mid-file instead of appended to the end, two still have pr-link: .../PLACEHOLDER, and the descriptions don't match the diff (Mooncake [52,72] is on the agg key, not disagg; wrong launcher and recipe filenames).
  3. 🔴 The launcher's dsv4/fp4 MODEL_PATH candidate order prefers /scratch/models/DeepSeek-V4-Pro (staged for all other dsv4-fp4-b200 configs), so the new DeepSeek-V4-Pro-0813 configs would benchmark the old checkpoint while publishing results under the -0813 name.
  4. 🟡 llmd_enroot_uri_for_image produces a malformed enroot URI for repo:tag@sha256: images (tag not stripped) — latent, but it's the exact pin format the sibling GB200 image uses.
  5. 🟡 The v0.10.0 LLMD_BIN_DIR binary override applies to aggregated runs too, contradicting their router: 0.9.0 metadata once the shared bin dir is populated.

Doc-consistency nits (no inline comments): many comments reference runners/launch_b200-dgxc-slurm.sh (a pre-existing broken symlink; the dispatch actually lives in launch_b200-nscale-compat.sh) and stale recipe filenames (dsv4-fp4-b200-agentx-*.yaml in the README/recipes vs the actual agentic/*-gb200-*-dspark-agentic.yaml names, which themselves say gb200 despite being B200 recipes); the disagg recipe header still claims Mooncake was "NOT ported" while the recipe now carries a mooncake: block. Also, the new runner: b200-multinode label isn't registered in configs/runners.yaml, so --runner-node-filter invocations will silently skip these configs.

Positive notes: server.sh's aggregated-mode gating (IS_AGGREGATED, endpoints emission, coordinator takeover) is carefully done, the enroot-import-from-public-registry pattern is present, EP is recipe-conditional rather than hardcoded, and the DSV4 bench path includes --use-chat-template.

🟡 WARNING: The digest branch keeps the tag inside repository, producing a malformed enroot URI for repo:tag@sha256:... images.

Why it matters: For an image like the sibling GB200 llm-d pin quay.io/rh-ee-imarkov/llm-d-nokube-vllm:vllm0.26@sha256:a909..., image_without_digest still contains :vllm0.26, so this prints docker://quay.io#rh-ee-imarkov/llm-d-nokube-vllm:vllm0.26:sha256:a909... — exactly the tag@digest ambiguity this function exists to avoid (per its own header comment). It's latent today only because the new B200 image is tag-only; the moment this image gets digest-pinned like its GB200 counterpart, the import breaks.

Fix:

🟡 WARNING: The v0.10.0 LLMD_BIN_DIR override is applied to every B200 llmd-vllm run, including the aggregated configs that declare router: { version: "0.9.0" }.

Why it matters: This export happens before the DISAGG branch, and job.slurm's mount loop mounts whatever executables it finds there over the image's baked-in binaries. Once /home/sa-shared/llm-d-bins-v0.10.0 is populated (a prerequisite for the disagg recipe to work at all), the dsv4-fp4-b200-llmd-vllm-agentx-agg runs will silently execute the v0.10.0 EPP/pd-sidecar while their master-config metadata, the recipe comments, and the perf-changelog all state they use the default v0.9.0 binaries — the published router version won't match what actually ran.

Fix: Either gate the override on the disagg path (move the export LLMD_BIN_DIR=... inside the DISAGG == true branch, added after the wrapper-selection if), or update the agg key's router: version/comments to 0.10.0 so the metadata matches reality.

Beyond the inline findings, I checked the ruled-out changelog entry more closely: the Mooncake entry's config-keys (dsv4-fp4-b200-llmd-vllm-agentx) does match its "disagg DEP8 arm" description, since that key names the disagg config (not the -agg aggregated one), so there's no additional config-keys mismatch there.

Extended reasoning...

This run's bug hunt already surfaced five confirmed, non-trivial issues (env-var export bug breaking SLURM submission, append-only violation and invalid PLACEHOLDER pr-links in the byte-sensitive perf-changelog.yaml, a misnamed gb200 prefix on B200-only recipe files, and a malformed enroot URI for tag@ digest images), which on their own are sufficient to require human attention and block approval. I independently re-verified the one ruled-out candidate (the Mooncake entry's config-keys pointing at the disagg key dsv4-fp4-b200-llmd-vllm-agentx versus its "disagg DEP8 arm" description) by reading the surrounding perf-changelog.yaml entries directly, and confirmed the key correctly refers to the disagg config (the aggregated variant is the separate -agg key), so there is no mismatch there. Given the confirmed findings already speak for themselves as inline comments, this defer note is limited to recording that one additional, distinct concern was checked and ruled out rather than restating the existing findings.

Findings marked 🟡 are optional suggestions and need no follow-up push.

🔴 The new llmd-vllm block never exports SLURM_PARTITION/SLURM_ACCOUNT before handing off to bash "$BENCH_SCRIPT", which forks submit.sh (a separate process) whose check_env SLURM_ACCOUNT/check_env SLURM_PARTITION require them in the environment; every B200 llmd-vllm job submission fails immediately with "Error: SLURM_ACCOUNT not set". Fix: add export SLURM_PARTITION SLURM_ACCOUNT in the llmd-vllm block, mirroring the sibling tilert branch a few lines below (line 249) which does exactly this before its own subprocess handoff.

Extended reasoning...

SLURM_PARTITION/SLURM_ACCOUNT are set as plain (non-exported) shell vars at the top of the file (lines 5-6) and no workflow sets them as job-level env, so they exist only in this script's local scope. The llmd-vllm branch runs JOB_ID=$(bash "$BENCH_SCRIPT") which execs dsv4_fp4_b200_llmd-vllm-agg.sh/disagg.sh, which runs bash ./submit.sh ... - a brand-new process that only inherits exported vars. submit.sh's check_env SLURM_ACCOUNT / check_env SLURM_PARTITION (both required first) then exit 1 before sbatch ever runs. Contrast with the tilert branch immediately below, which does export SLURM_PARTITION SLURM_ACCOUNT right before its own exec bash "$TILERT_DISAGG" handoff - the same pattern the new block omits.

Verification: normal — the new llmd-vllm block forks a subprocess without exporting the SLURM credentials that subprocess requires. runners/launch_b200-nscale-compat.sh:5-6 set SLURM_PARTITION="${SLURM_PARTITION:-batch_1}" / SLURM_ACCOUNT="${SLURM_ACCOUNT:-benchmark}" as plain (non-exported) vars. The new llmd-vllm branch runs JOB_ID=$(bash "$BENCH_SCRIPT") which execs… | normal — new code…
