# vLLM Scripts — Knowledge Base

Documentation for the LLM inference fleet on two local machines
(2026-08-18): upstream llama.cpp on Dankserver (frank-default-small) and
CIRU ROCmFPX llama.cpp on Dankclaw (frank-default-large).

## Active Deployment

- [[deployment]] — deploy and update process for both servers
- [[frank-redo-2026-08-17]] — the 2026-08-17 topology change
- [[ciru-activefpx-promptforge]] — the CIRU runtime on Dankclaw
  (frank-default-large)
- [[Dankserver]] — the upstream llama.cpp box (frank-default-small)
- [[Dankclaw]] — the CIRU ROCmFPX box (frank-default-large)

## CIRU Reference (Dankclaw)

- [[ciru-activefpx-promptforge]] — model, ROCm 7.15 toolchain, build,
  and the frank-default-large service

## vLLM Reference (historical)

- [[VLLM Overview]] — installation, CLI, API, architecture, quantization, parallelism
- [[VLLM Index]] — quick reference with commands, endpoints, and parameter table
- [[Running Qwen3.6 35B A3B FP8 on Dankserver]] — Qwen3.6-35B-A3B hardware
  notes and sizing (the model family now served by frank-default-small as
  Q6_K_P)

## Memory Management

- [[RAM CPU Offloading in VLLM]] — KV cache swap between GPU VRAM and system RAM
- [[Hybrid CPU GPU Processing Dankserver]] — NVIDIA GPU compute with system RAM offload
- [[Shared Memory Architecture Dankclaw]] — AMD unified memory and ROCm configuration

## Retired Topology (2026-08-17 redo)

- [[Qwen3.8 PP Deployment]] — the retired pipeline-parallel head + worker
- [[qwen3.8-spec-matrix]] — Qwen3.8-27B spec history (superseded by FastMTP)
- [[FastFlowLM NPU Inference]] — the retired FastFlowLM NPU endpoint
- [[frank-default-large-benchmark]] — backend/spec benchmark behind the old head
- [[dankserver-vram-growth]] — VRAM/RAM growth behind the retired cuBLAS crash
- [[DFlash DSpark Speculative Decoding]] — retired DFlash/DSpark drafting
- [[Quantization by Hardware Architecture]] — which quant format fits which GPU/CPU

## Pipeline Parallelism (archive)

- [[Pipeline Parallelism]] — index of multi-node inference research. The PP
  pair is retired; these pages are research history.

## Sibling projects

- [serverAppConfigs](../serverAppConfigs/docs/index.md) — the Podman app
  stack on the same two hosts. Its OpenWebUI consumes the `:7770` endpoint
  on Dankserver; its Gitea instance hosts this repository.
