FAQPage Schema
How do I accelerate LLM inference and reduce latency on NVIDIA GPUs?

To accelerate LLM inference on NVIDIA GPUs, apply CUDA-optimized kernels, in-flight batching, and FP8 or INT4 quantization to significantly reduce production latency and increase throughput.

How do I serve LLMs in production with an OpenAI-compatible API?

Serve LLMs in production with an OpenAI-compatible API by running the trtllm-serve command with your model and a suitable tensor-parallel setup for immediate deployment.

Can I scale very large models across multiple GPUs and nodes?

Scale very large models across multiple GPUs and nodes using tensor, pipeline, and expert parallelism to distribute computation and overcome single-GPU memory limits.

What hardware and dependencies do I need to run TensorRT-LLM for production serving?

Running production serving requires CUDA-enabled NVIDIA hardware, supported PyTorch models, and the TensorRT runtime with appropriate drivers and libraries.

When should I use FP8 or INT4 quantization for LLM inference?

Use FP8 or INT4 quantization for LLM inference when you need to maximize throughput and minimize memory footprint in production environments without significant accuracy degradation.
