On GPU the MinPLogitsProcessor uses a double tensor scheme similar to what the gpu model runner uses to coalesce data movements from the CPU to the GPU. On the CPU or on devices that are supported only via torch.compile such as Spyre, the extra tensor is not necessary.

Summary of Changes

Hello @maxdebayser, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request optimizes the MinPLogitsProcessor by intelligently managing tensor allocation based on the execution device. For CPU-bound operations, it removes the creation and copying of a redundant device tensor, leading to improved memory efficiency and streamlined data handling without impacting GPU performance.

Highlights

  • Memory Optimization: I've refactored the MinPLogitsProcessor to eliminate an unnecessary device tensor when running on CPU or torch.compile-supported devices. This reduces memory overhead by reusing the existing CPU tensor instead of allocating a duplicate on the device.
  • Conditional Tensor Management: I've introduced a double_tensor flag to conditionally manage tensor allocation and data copying. If the target device is CPU, the min_p_device tensor now directly references the min_p_cpu_tensor, and the copy_ operation is skipped, as it would be redundant.

Code Review

The pull request refactors the MinPLogitsProcessor to avoid using an unnecessary double tensor scheme on the CPU, which was previously used for coalescing data movements on the GPU. The changes introduce a double_tensor flag to conditionally allocate the device tensor based on whether the device is different from the CPU.

device=device)

self.double_tensor = torch.device("cpu") != torch.device(device)

It might be beneficial to add a comment explaining the purpose of the double_tensor variable and why it's needed to check for CPU vs device equality.

👋 Hi! Thank you for contributing to the vLLM project.

💬 Join our developer Slack at https://slack.vllm.ai to discuss your PR in #pr-reviews, coordinate on features in #feat- channels, or join special interest groups in #sig- channels.

Just a reminder: PRs would not trigger full CI run by default. Instead, it would only run fastcheck CI which starts running only a small and essential subset of CI tests to quickly catch errors. You can run other CI tests on top of those by going to your fastcheck build on Buildkite UI (linked in the PR checks section) and unblock them. If you do not have permission to unblock, ping simon-mo or khluu to add you in our Buildkite org.

Once the PR is approved and ready to go, your PR reviewer(s) can run CI to test the changes comprehensively before merging.

To run CI, PR reviewers can either: Add ready label to the PR or enable auto-merge.

🚀
