👋 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.

🚀

Summary of Changes

Hello @njhill, 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 introduces a crucial utility for distributed computing environments within the vllm framework. The newly added node_count function provides a robust and reliable way to ascertain the actual number of physical nodes involved in a distributed job, which is essential for resource management, performance analysis, and understanding the deployment topology.

Highlights

  • New Utility Function: I've added a new function, node_count, to vllm/distributed/parallel_state.py. This function is designed to accurately determine the total number of distinct physical nodes participating in a given distributed process group.
  • Distributed Node Counting Logic: The node_count function works by having each rank identify the number of other ranks colocated on its node. It then aggregates these local node sizes across all ranks to deduce the total count of unique nodes, supporting both torch.distributed.ProcessGroup and StatelessProcessGroup types.
  • Dependency Update: The collections.defaultdict utility has been imported to facilitate the counting of unique node sizes within the new node_count function.

Code Review

The code introduces a node_count function to determine the number of nodes in a process group, handling both ProcessGroup and StatelessProcessGroup scenarios. The function gathers node sizes from all ranks and counts unique sizes to determine the total number of nodes.

@WoosukKwon yes, I verified the failures are unrelated OOMs also failing on main (not all tests have completed yet though...)
