arXiv:2607. 19539v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architectures increase model capacity without proportionally increasing computation cost and have become a key building block for scaling large language models (LLMs) to trillion-parameter regimes.

ThunderEP is a new communication design for expert parallelism on PCIe-connected consumer GPUs that eliminates relay hops, uses DMA engines to avoid GPU compute contention, and reduces CPU polling overhead. Integrated into vLLM, it outperforms NCCL on RTX 4090 and RTX 5090 GPUs, delivering average speedups of 2.00× for dispatch, 1.53× for combine, and up to 1.66× end‑to‑end over existing MoE inference frameworks.

The paper introduces TopoCompress, a token compression framework designed for distributed edge Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) inference. It jointly optimizes token compression, expert deployment, GPU-CPU residency, and routing to reduce cross-server communication and resource usage. The method uses a two-timescale alternating optimization, with an online loop compressing low-importance tokens and an offline loop updating expert placement based on accumulated traffic.
