-------------------------------------
- ``VLLM_CPU_KVCACHE_SPACE``: specify the KV Cache size (e.g, ``VLLM_CPU_KVCACHE_SPACE=40`` means 40 GB space for KV cache), larger setting will allow vLLM running more requests in parallel. This parameter should be set based on the hardware configuration and memory management pattern of users.
- ``VLLM_CPU_OMP_THREADS_BIND``: specify the CPU cores dedicated to the OpenMP threads. For example, ``VLLM_CPU_OMP_THREADS_BIND=0-31`` means there will be 32 OpenMP threads bound on 0-31 CPU cores. ``VLLM_CPU_OMP_THREADS_BIND=0-31|32-63`` means there will be 2 tensor parallel processes, 32 OpenMP threads of rank0 are bound on 0-31 CPU cores, and the OpenMP threads of rank1 are bound on 32-63 CPU cores.

- vLLM CPU backend uses environment variable ``VLLM_CPU_KVCACHE_SPACE`` to specify the KV Cache size (e.g, ``VLLM_CPU_KVCACHE_SPACE=40`` means 40 GB space for KV cache), larger setting will allow vLLM running more requests in parallel. This parameter should be set based on the hardware configuration and memory management pattern of users.
- We highly recommend to use TCMalloc for high performance memory allocation and better cache locality. For example, on Ubuntu 22.4, you can run:

- vLLM CPU backend uses OpenMP for thread-parallel computation. If you want the best performance on CPU, it will be very critical to isolate CPU cores for OpenMP threads with other thread pools (like web-service event-loop), to avoid CPU oversubscription.
- When using the online serving, it is recommended to reserve 1-2 CPU cores for the serving framework to avoid CPU oversubscription. For example, on a platform with 32 physical CPU cores, reserving CPU 30 and 31 for the framework and using CPU 0-29 for OpenMP:
- If using vLLM CPU backend on a bare-metal machine, it is recommended to disable the hyper-threading.
.. code-block:: console
- If using vLLM CPU backend on a multi-socket machine with NUMA, be aware to set CPU cores and memory nodes, to avoid the remote memory node access. ``numactl`` is an useful tool for CPU core and memory binding on NUMA platform. Besides, ``--cpuset-cpus`` and ``--cpuset-mems`` arguments of ``docker run`` are also useful.

- If using vLLM CPU backend on a machine with hyper-threading, it is recommended to bind only one OpenMP thread on each physical CPU core using ``VLLM_CPU_OMP_THREADS_BIND``. On a hyper-threading enabled platform with 16 logical CPU cores / 8 physical CPU cores:
.. code-block:: console
$ lscpu -e # check the mapping between logical CPU cores and physical CPU cores
# The "CPU" column means the logical CPU core IDs, and the "CORE" column means the physical core IDs. On this platform, two logical cores are sharing one physical core.
