## Overview
|
|
|
|
Qwen3-VL-30B-A3B-Instruct is a multimodal Qwen3-VL MoE model. Intel Xeon 6
|
|
CPU serving was validated with BF16.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- Hardware: Intel Xeon 6 CPUs
|
|
- vLLM >= 0.11.0
|
|
|
|
### pip (Intel Xeon 6 CPUs)
|
|
|
|
For Intel and AMD x86 CPUs, follow the
|
|
[CPU pre-built wheels](https://docs.vllm.ai/en/latest/getting_started/installation/cpu/#pre-built-wheels)
|
|
installation instructions.
|
|
|
|
### Docker (Intel Xeon 6 CPUs)
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker pull vllm/vllm-openai-cpu:latest-x86_64
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Intel Xeon 6
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
vllm serve Qwen/Qwen3-VL-30B-A3B-Instruct \
|
|
--tensor-parallel-size 1 \
|
|
--mm-encoder-tp-mode data
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Docker (the image entrypoint is `vllm serve`):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker run \
|
|
--privileged --ipc=host -p 8000:8000 \
|
|
-v ~/.cache/huggingface:/root/.cache/huggingface \
|
|
vllm/vllm-openai-cpu:latest-x86_64 Qwen/Qwen3-VL-30B-A3B-Instruct \
|
|
--tensor-parallel-size 1 \
|
|
--mm-encoder-tp-mode data
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The example uses TP=1. Adjust TP/DP based on system topology; NUMA binding is
|
|
intentionally not hard-coded in the recipe.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration Notes
|
|
|
|
- TP/DP values and topology-specific CPU binding remain deployment choices.
|
|
|
|
## Runtime and Platform Tuning
|
|
|
|
The following settings are intentionally not prescribed as portable CPU model
|
|
defaults because they depend on the workload, hardware, or runtime environment:
|
|
|
|
- `--max-num-batched-tokens`: scheduler/throughput tuning.
|
|
- `--max-num-seqs`: concurrency and scheduler-capacity tuning.
|
|
- `--gpu-memory-utilization`: platform memory-budget tuning.
|
|
- `--no-enable-prefix-caching`: workload/benchmark cache-policy tuning.
|
|
- `VLLM_ENGINE_ITERATION_TIMEOUT_S`: operational runtime timeout.
|
|
|
|
These settings may still appear in validated hardware-specific overrides. Tune
|
|
them at deployment time based on platform resources, workload shape, and
|
|
latency/throughput goals.
