DWDP: Distributed Weight Data Parallelism for High-Performance LLM Inference on NVL72

Large language model (LLM) inference increasingly depends on multi-GPU execution, yet existing inference parallelization strategies require layer-wise inter-rank synchronization, making end-to-end performance sensitive to workload imbalance. We present DWDP (Distributed Weight Data Parallelism), an inference parallelization strategy that preserves data-parallel execution while offloading MoE weights across peer GPUs and fetching missing experts on demand. By removing collective inter-rank synchronization, DWDP allows each GPU to progress independently. We further address the practical overheads of this design with two optimizations for split-weight management and asynchronous remote-weight prefetch. Implemented in TensorRT-LLM and evaluated with DeepSeek-R1 on GB200 NVL72, DWDP improves end-to-end output TPS/GPU by 8.8% at comparable TPS/user in the 20-100 TPS/user serving range under 8K input sequence length and 1K output sequence length.

Towards an Understanding of Context Utilization in Code Intelligence

Code intelligence is an emerging domain in software engineering, aiming to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of various code-related tasks. Recent research suggests that incorporating contextual information beyond the basic original task inputs (i.e., source code) can substantially enhance model performance. Such contextual signals may be obtained directly or indirectly from sources such as API documentation or intermediate representations like abstract syntax trees can significantly improve the effectiveness of code intelligence. Despite growing academic interest, there is a lack of systematic analysis of context in code intelligence. To address this gap, we conduct an extensive literature review of 146 relevant studies published between September 2007 and August 2024. Our investigation yields four main contributions. (1) A quantitative analysis of the research landscape, including publication trends, venues, and the explored domains; (2) A novel taxonomy of context types used in code intelligence; (3) A task-oriented analysis investigating context integration strategies across diverse code intelligence tasks; (4) A critical evaluation of evaluation methodologies for context-aware methods. Based on these findings, we identify fundamental challenges in context utilization in current code intelligence systems and propose a research roadmap that outlines key opportunities for future research.
