# vLLM Automatic Workload-Based Optimization

## 🧠 Intelligent Optimization

The vLLM optimization system now automatically adjusts the 6 critical knobs based on your actual workload patterns. No more manual tuning - the system analyzes your usage patterns and selects optimal settings.

## 🔍 How It Works

### Workload Analysis
The system analyzes these key metrics:
- **Average prompt length** - Input token patterns
- **Average response length** - Output token patterns  
- **Requests per second** - Traffic volume and patterns
- **Concurrent users** - Multi-user load patterns
- **Latency sensitivity** - Throughput vs latency priority
- **Memory pressure** - Available GPU memory constraints
- **GPU count** - Hardware resource availability

### Automatic Optimization Logic

#### 1. `--max-num-batched-tokens`
```
QPS > 50:     32768  (Maximum throughput)
QPS > 10:     16384  (High throughput) 
QPS > 2:      8192   (Medium throughput)
QPS <= 2:     4096   (Low throughput/latency focused)

Latency adjustment:
- High sensitivity (>0.7): Cap at 4096
- Low sensitivity (<0.3): Minimum 16384
```

#### 2. `--max-num-seqs`
```
Base: max(concurrent_users, QPS * 2)
High QPS (>10): Base * 2
Low QPS: min(Base * 1.5, 1024)
Range: 256-2048

Latency adjustment:
- High sensitivity (>0.7): Cap at 512
```

#### 3. `--gpu-memory-utilization`
```
Memory pressure > 0.8: 0.85  (Conservative)
Model size > 40GB:     0.90  (Large models)
Default:               0.95  (Aggressive)
```

#### 4. `--enable-prefix-caching`
```
Enable if:
- Avg prompt > 100 tokens  (Likely shared prefixes)
- Concurrent users > 5      (Multi-user scenarios)
- QPS > 5                  (High traffic benefits)
```

#### 5. `--enable-chunked-prefill`
```
Enable if:
- Avg prompt > 512 tokens  (Long prompts)
- QPS > 2                  (Any significant traffic)
```

#### 6. CPU Core Allocation
```
Base: 2 + GPU count
High QPS (>20): +2 cores
Medium QPS (>10): +1 core
```

## 🚀 Usage Examples

### 1. Analyze Sample Workload
```bash
# Create sample file with your typical requests
cat > my_workload.json << 'EOF'
[
  {"prompt": "Your typical prompt", "response": "Typical response", "timestamp": 1000, "user_id": "user1"},
  {"prompt": "Another prompt", "response": "Another response", "timestamp": 2000, "user_id": "user2"}
]
EOF

# Auto-optimize based on samples
terradev vllm auto-optimize -s my_workload.json -m meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-hf -g 4
```

### 2. Analyze Running Server
```bash
# Monitor current server and optimize
terradev vllm auto-optimize -e http://localhost:8000 -m mistralai/Mistral-7B-v0.1 -g 2

# Generate Helm values for deployment
terradev vllm auto-optimize -e http://localhost:8000 -m codellama/CodeLlama-34b-hf -o helm
```

### 3. Workload Analysis Only
```bash
# Analyze current server without optimization
terradev vllm analyze -e http://localhost:8000 -d 120

# Get optimization recommendations
terradev vllm analyze -e http://10.0.0.1:8000
```
