Democratizing MoE inference on commodity GPUs with CoMoE

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The paper introduces CoMoE, a communication‑efficient Mixture‑of‑Experts inference system designed for commodity GPUs. By using host‑centric routing, host‑backed token multicast, and fine‑grained token‑level aggregation, CoMoE reduces communication volume and eliminates global synchronization stalls. Experiments on RTX 5090 GPUs show up to 1.46× throughput improvement, approaching NVLink‑capable A800 performance while costing only 23.4% of the hardware.

Efficient Expert-Parallel Communication on PCIe-Connected Consumer GPUs

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.

TopoCompress: Topology Aware Token Compression Algorithm for Distributed Edge MoE Inference

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.
