+### 🔬 Multimodal Processor Benchmark
+
+Benchmark per-stage latency of the multimodal (MM) input processor pipeline, including the encoder forward pass. This is useful for profiling preprocessing bottlenecks in vision-language models.
+
+<details class="admonition abstract" markdown="1">
+<summary>Show more</summary>
+
+The benchmark measures the following stages for each request:
+
+| Stage | Description |
+| ----- | ----------- |
+| `get_mm_hashes_secs` | Time spent hashing multimodal inputs |
+| `get_cache_missing_items_secs` | Time spent looking up the processor cache |
+| `apply_hf_processor_secs` | Time spent in the HuggingFace processor |
+| `merge_mm_kwargs_secs` | Time spent merging multimodal kwargs |
+| `apply_prompt_updates_secs` | Time spent updating prompt tokens |
+| `preprocessor_total_secs` | Total preprocessing time |
+| `encoder_forward_secs` | Time spent in the encoder model forward pass |
+| `num_encoder_calls` | Number of encoder invocations per request |
+
+The benchmark also reports end-to-end latency (TTFT + decode time) per
+request. Use `--metric-percentiles` to select which percentiles to report
+(default: p99) and `--output-json` to save results.
+
+#### Basic Example with Synthetic Data (random-mm)
+
+```bash
+vllm bench mm-processor \
+  --model Qwen/Qwen2-VL-7B-Instruct \
+  --dataset-name random-mm \
+  --num-prompts 50 \
+  --random-input-len 300 \
+  --random-output-len 40 \
+  --random-mm-base-items-per-request 2 \
+  --random-mm-limit-mm-per-prompt '{"image": 3, "video": 0}' \
+  --random-mm-bucket-config '{(256, 256, 1): 0.7, (720, 1280, 1): 0.3}'
+```
+
+#### Using a HuggingFace Dataset
+
+```bash
+vllm bench mm-processor \
+  --model Qwen/Qwen2-VL-7B-Instruct \
+  --dataset-name hf \

 # vllm bench mm-processor
 
+## Overview
+
+`vllm bench mm-processor` profiles the multimodal input processor pipeline of
+vision-language models. It measures per-stage latency from the HuggingFace
+processor through to the encoder forward pass, helping you identify
+preprocessing bottlenecks and understand how different image resolutions or
+item counts affect end-to-end request time.
+
+The benchmark supports two data sources: synthetic random multimodal inputs
+(`random-mm`) and HuggingFace datasets (`hf`). Warmup requests are run before
+measurement to ensure stable results.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+vllm bench mm-processor \
+  --model Qwen/Qwen2-VL-7B-Instruct \
+  --dataset-name random-mm \
+  --num-prompts 50 \
+  --random-input-len 300 \
+  --random-output-len 40 \
+  --random-mm-base-items-per-request 2 \
+  --random-mm-limit-mm-per-prompt '{"image": 3, "video": 0}' \
+  --random-mm-bucket-config '{(256, 256, 1): 0.7, (720, 1280, 1): 0.3}'
+```
+
+## Measured Stages
+
+| Stage | Description |
+| ----- | ----------- |
+| `get_mm_hashes_secs` | Time spent hashing multimodal inputs |
+| `get_cache_missing_items_secs` | Time spent looking up the processor cache |
+| `apply_hf_processor_secs` | Time spent in the HuggingFace processor |
+| `merge_mm_kwargs_secs` | Time spent merging multimodal kwargs |
+| `apply_prompt_updates_secs` | Time spent updating prompt tokens |
+| `preprocessor_total_secs` | Total preprocessing time |
+| `encoder_forward_secs` | Time spent in the encoder model forward pass |
+| `num_encoder_calls` | Number of encoder invocations per request |
+
+The benchmark also reports end-to-end latency (TTFT + decode time) per
+request. Use `--metric-percentiles` to select which percentiles to report
+(default: p99) and `--output-json` to save results.
+
+For more examples (HF datasets, warmup, JSON output), see

+vLLM provides 4 optimization levels (`-O0`, `-O1`, `-O2`, `-O3`) that allow users to trade off startup time for performance:
+
+- `-O0`: No optimizations. Fastest startup time, but lowest performance.

+# RunPod
+
+vLLM can be deployed on [RunPod](https://www.runpod.io/), a cloud GPU platform that provides on-demand and serverless GPU instances for AI inference workloads.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- A RunPod account with GPU pod access
+- A GPU pod running a CUDA-compatible template (e.g., `runpod/pytorch`)
+
+## Starting the Server
+
+SSH into your RunPod pod and launch the vLLM OpenAI-compatible server:
+
+```bash
+python -m vllm.entrypoints.openai.api_server \
+    --model <model-name> \
+    --host 0.0.0.0 \
+    --port 8000
+```
+
+!!! note
+
+    Use `--host 0.0.0.0` to bind to all interfaces so the server is reachable from outside the container.
+
+## Exposing Port 8000
+
+RunPod exposes HTTP services through its proxy. To make port 8000 accessible:
+
+1. In the RunPod dashboard, navigate to your pod settings.
+2. Add `8000` to the list of exposed HTTP ports.
+3. After the pod restarts, RunPod provides a public URL in the format:
+
+    ```text
+    https://<pod-id>-8000.proxy.runpod.net
+    ```
+
+## Troubleshooting 502 Bad Gateway
+
+A `502 Bad Gateway` error from the RunPod proxy typically means the server is not yet listening. Common causes:
+
+- **Model still loading** — Large models take time to download and load into GPU memory. Check the pod logs for progress.
+- **Wrong host binding** — Ensure you passed `--host 0.0.0.0`. Binding to `127.0.0.1` (the default) makes the server unreachable from the proxy.
+- **Port mismatch** — Verify the `--port` value matches the port exposed in the RunPod dashboard.
+- **Out of GPU memory** — The model may be too large for the allocated GPU. Check logs for CUDA OOM errors and consider using a larger instance or adding `--tensor-parallel-size` for multi-GPU pods.
+
+## Verifying the Deployment
+
+Once the server is running, test it with a curl request:
+
+!!! console "Command"
+
+    ```bash
+    curl https://<pod-id>-8000.proxy.runpod.net/v1/chat/completions \
+        -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+        -d '{

+            ],
+            "max_tokens": 50
+        }'
+    ```
+
+!!! console "Response"
+
+    ```json
+    {
+        "id": "chat-abc123",
+        "object": "chat.completion",
+        "choices": [
+            {

+                    "content": "I'm doing well, thank you for asking! How can I help you today?"
+                },
+                "index": 0,
+                "finish_reason": "stop"
+            }
+        ]

 The dispatching keys are initialized through the dispatcher's `initialize_cudagraph_keys` method, which is called by the gpu_model_runner after all possible attention backends are initialized. This is where we can get much fancier in the future and “prepare” all kinds of CUDA Graphs combinations. For now, we just append available keys based on the valid combos of `decode_mode`/`mixed_mode` of `cudagraph_mode` and `cudagraph_capture_sizes` in the compilation config.

+# Fusion torch.compile passes
+
+vLLM applies a set of kernel/operator fusions at compile time (via custom [`torch.compile`](torch_compile.md) Inductor passes)
+to separate optimizations from model definitions and avoid breaking layer abstractions in model code.
+These fusions are controlled by fields in [`PassConfig`][vllm.config.compilation.PassConfig] and are automatically enabled
+at appropriate [optimization levels](optimization_levels.md).
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+The table below maps each fusion to its controlling flag/config knob, the
+operations it fuses, what level enables it by default, and an indicative speedup.
+The Fullgraph column indicates whether the fusion requires the entire model graph to be
+visible (either via Inductor partition or `splitting_ops=[]`),
+and the last column indicates whether the fusion activates for all `num_tokens`
+or just on the low or high end.
+
+!!! info
+    Speedup depends heavily on the exact model, batch size, and hardware.
+    If tuning performance by hand, always benchmark your exact use-case with and without the fusion to verify the impact.

+\* `fuse_attn_quant` support depends on the attention backend in use; not all backends support

+for per-backend details.
+
+† `enable_sp` and `fuse_gemm_comms` are only autoconfigured for SM90 today;
+other architectures support requires setting `PassConfig.sp_min_token_num` explicitly.
+SM100 support also requires setting `VLLM_DISABLED_KERNELS=FlashInferFP8ScaledMMLinearKernel`.
+
+## Enabling / Disabling Fusions
+
+Fusions are exposed through `PassConfig`, which is nested inside `CompilationConfig`:
+
+```python
+from vllm import LLM
+from vllm.config import CompilationConfig, PassConfig
+
+llm = LLM(
+    model="...",
+    optimization_level=2, # Default optimization level
+    compilation_config=CompilationConfig(
+        pass_config=PassConfig(
+            fuse_norm_quant=True,
+            fuse_act_quant=True,
+            fuse_allreduce_rms=False,  # disable a specific fusion
+        )
+    ),
+)
+```
+
+Fusions can also be enabled using command-line flags with any `vllm ...` command:
+
+```bash
+# Enable O2 defaults, but turn off allreduce fusion
+vllm serve meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct -O2 -cc.pass_config.fuse_allreduce_rms=False
+
+# The above is equivalent to the more verbose:
+vllm serve meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct -O2 --compilation-config '{"pass_config": {"fuse_allreduce_rms": false}}'
+
+# Same syntax in other commands, e.g. vllm bench:
+vllm bench latency --model=meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct -O2 -cc.pass_config.fuse_allreduce_rms=False
+```
+
+Fields set explicitly by the user always take precedence over optimization-level defaults.

+**What it fuses.** Fuses the tensor-parallel all-reduce collective with the subsequent residual add,
+RMSNorm, and optionally a quantization step into a single FlashInfer / TRT-LLM communication kernel.
+This fusion is only profitable for small `num_tokens`,
+so the fusion is only performed in the lower compiled range.
+
+Patterns covered:
+
+- `AllReduce → RMSNorm(+residual_add)`: CUDA sm90+ with FlashInfer
+- `AllReduce → RMSNorm(+residual_add) → FP8 static quant`: CUDA sm90+ with FlashInfer
+- `AllReduce → RMSNorm(+residual_add) → NVFP4 dynamic quant`: CUDA sm100+ with FlashInfer
+
+The maximum tensor size below which the fused kernel is used is hardware-dependent (64 MB for TP=2

+### Attention + Quantization (`fuse_attn_quant`)
+
+!!! info
+    `fuse_attn_quant` is currently not enabled at any optimization level by default and must be set
+    explicitly. It requires the full model graph to be visible (Inductor partition or `splitting_ops=[]`).
+
+**What it fuses.** Fuses the attention output quantization directly after the attention computation,
+eliminating a full-precision memory round-trip of the attention output. Patterns covered:
+
+`Attention → FP8 static quant`:
+
+- `TRITON_ATTN`: CUDA, ROCm
+- `FLASHINFER`: CUDA sm100+ with FlashInfer installed
+- `ROCM_ATTN`: ROCm
+- `ROCM_AITER_UNIFIED_ATTN`: ROCm with AITER
+
+`Attention → NVFP4 dynamic quant`:
+
+- `FLASHINFER`: CUDA sm100+ with FlashInfer installed
+
+Other attention backends do not support fused output quantization yet.

+
+### RoPE + KV-Cache Update (`fuse_rope_kvcache`)
+
+!!! info
+    ROCm/AITER-only. Not available on NVIDIA CUDA or CPU. The fusion is only enabled for
+    `num_tokens ≤ 256` by default due to AITER fused kernel performance issues.
+    This threshold is configurable via `PassConfig.rope_kvcache_fusion_max_token_num`.
+
+**What it fuses.** Fuses the rotary positional embedding kernel with the KV-cache scatter/write into
+a single kernel, avoiding separate reads and writes of the key and value tensors.
+
+Requires: AMD ROCm with AITER enabled, the `rotary_embedding` custom op active (automatic),
+and the `kv_cache` update op visible in the graph: either by using Inductor graph partition
+or removed from `splitting_ops`.
+If these conditions are set, the fusion is enabled automatically for optimization level O1 and above.

+
+### Sequence Parallelism (`enable_sp`)
+
+**What it fuses.** Replaces all-reduce collectives with reduce-scatter + local RMSNorm + all-gather,
+splitting the sequence dimension across TP ranks. This restructures the graph so the subsequent AsyncTP
+pass can fuse the reduce-scatter / all-gather with the surrounding GEMMs.
+
+Sequence Parallelism itself does not directly improve performance; it is a prerequisite for the
+AsyncTP pass (`fuse_gemm_comms`). SP is only applied above a minimum token threshold that is
+autoconfigured based on device capability and model `hidden_size`. Currently only active on
+H100/SM90 for models with `hidden_size >= 8192`. The threshold is configurable via
+`PassConfig.sp_min_token_num`.
+
+The general transformation:
+
+```text
+Input → AllReduce → RMSNorm → Output
+becomes:
+Input → ReduceScatter → local RMSNorm → AllGather → Output
+```
+
+Patterns covered:
+
+- First block: `AllReduce → RMSNorm` → `ReduceScatter → RMSNorm → AllGather`
+- Middle blocks: `AllReduce → fused_add_RMSNorm` → `ReduceScatter → fused_add_RMSNorm → AllGather`
+- Both with optional `→ FP8 static quant` suffix
+
+Requires: `use_inductor_graph_partition=True` **or** piecewise compilation with static sizes
+divisible by `tensor_parallel_size`.

+
+### AsyncTP GEMM + Collective Overlap (`fuse_gemm_comms`)
+
+!!! info
+    Requires `enable_sp=True` (enabled automatically). This pass is a no-op if Sequence Parallelism has not been applied.
+
+**What it fuses.** After Sequence Parallelism transforms the graph, fuses GEMM kernels with the
+surrounding reduce-scatter (output projection) and all-gather (input projection) using
+`torch.ops.symm_mem` symmetric-memory primitives, overlapping communication and computation.
+This overlap is only profitable for large `num_tokens`, so the fusion (and preceding SP)
+is only performed in the higher compiled range above `PassConfig.sp_min_token_num`.
+
+Patterns covered:
+
+- `GEMM → reduce-scatter` → `fused_matmul_reduce_scatter`
+- `all-gather → GEMM` → `all_gather_matmul`
+- FP8 scaled variants of both patterns
+
+Supported hardware: NVIDIA CUDA with symmetric-memory (`torch.distributed._symmetric_memory`) support.
+
+On B200, pattern-matching fp8 FlashInfer scaled MM is not supported, so it must be disabled

+
+!!! info
+    Only applicable to models that apply per-head RMSNorm to Q and K before rotary positional

+    [#34391](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/issues/34391)
+
+**What it fuses.** Fuses the sequence: split QKV → reshape → Q/K RMSNorm → reshape → rotary
+embedding into a single `fused_qk_norm_rope` CUDA kernel.
+
+```text
+# Unfused:
+q, k, v = split(qkv)

+
+### RMSNorm + Quantization (`fuse_norm_quant`)
+
+!!! warning
+    On NVIDIA, Inductor actually generates a faster fused kernel than our custom CUDA kernel.
+    Hence, this fusion is only enabled when either `rms_norm` or `quant_fp8` is using a custom kernel.
+
+**What it fuses.** Combines the custom `rms_norm` / `fused_add_rms_norm`
+operations with subsequent quantization into a single fused kernel,
+eliminating an intermediate read/write of the full-precision activation tensor.
+Two variants are fused:
+
+- *Plain RMSNorm + quant*: `rms_norm(x) → quant_fp8(y)`
+- *Fused-add RMSNorm + quant*: `fused_add_rms_norm(x, residual) → quant_fp8(y)` — also updates the residual in-place.
+
+Note that AITER fusions are currently in a separate pass in `vllm.compilation.passes.fusion.rocm_aiter_fusion`.
+
+Supported quantization scheme/hardware combinations:

+
+!!! warning
+    Same as `fuse_norm_quant`: on NVIDIA, Inductor generates a faster fused kernel than our custom ops.
+    This fusion is only enabled when either `silu_and_mul` or `quant_fp8` are using a custom kernel,
+    or for NVFP4-quantized models (where FP4 quant is always a custom op).
+
+**What it fuses.** Fuses the `silu_and_mul` gate-up projection activation with subsequent quantization into a single kernel,

 # Optimization Levels
 
 ## Overview
 
-vLLM now supports optimization levels (`-O0`, `-O1`, `-O2`, `-O3`). Optimization levels provide an intuitive mechanism for users to trade startup time for performance. Higher levels have better performance but worse startup time. These optimization levels have associated defaults to help users get desired out-of-the-box performance. Importantly, defaults set by optimization levels are purely defaults; explicit user settings will not be overwritten.
+vLLM provides 4 optimization levels (`-O0`, `-O1`, `-O2`, `-O3`) that allow users to trade off startup time for performance:
+
+- `-O0`: No optimization. Fastest startup time, but lowest performance.
+- `-O1`: Fast optimization. Simple compilation and fast fusions, and PIECEWISE cudagraphs.
+- `-O2`: Default optimization. Additional compilation ranges, additional fusions, FULL_AND_PIECEWISE cudagraphs.
+- `-O3`: Aggressive optimization. Currently equal to `-O2`, but may include additional time-consuming or experimental optimizations in the future.
+
+All optimization level defaults can be achieved by manually setting the underlying flags.
+User-set flags take precedence over optimization level defaults.
