# Dankclaw System Specs

## Server Overview

Dankclaw is an AMD APU server for vLLM inference. The host runs Ubuntu 26.04 with an AMD Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 Strix Halo APU. The APU uses unified memory — CPU and GPU share the same physical RAM pool.

## VLLM Relevance

- Unified memory eliminates separate VRAM limits. The GPU uses system RAM.
- ROCm reports 96 GiB of GPU-visible memory (overcommitted). Physical RAM is 30 GiB. The driver reports a 96 GiB VRAM ceiling (`sysfs mem_info_vram_total`), but the machine has only 30.5 GB of physical RAM. vLLM sees the large number and will try to use it. Set `--gpu-memory-utilization` conservatively (0.80-0.85) to avoid OOM when the OS needs memory.
- Without the ROCm VRAM patch, ROCm clamps APU memory to 50% (see `scripts/patches/rocm_patched.py` on the remote). The patch restores the real GTT ceiling minus an 8 GB safety margin.
- Only 8 GiB swap. Modern vLLM uses `--kv-offloading-size` instead of the removed `--swap-space` flag.
- The active llama.cpp service on Dankclaw runs on the ROCmFPX runtime (`/home/dank/GitPackages/ROCmFPX/build-strix-rocmfp4/bin/llama-server`) with the Ling-3.0-flash ROCmFP4 MTP model, not regular llama.cpp.
- ROCm 7.2.4 from AMD repos. vLLM ROCm support requires ROCm 6.3+.
- Python 3.14.4 is very new. vLLM ROCm wheels target Python 3.12. Use a Python 3.12 venv.
- Radeon 8060S falls under Ryzen AI MAX series (gfx1151). vLLM lists this as supported.
- 1.1 TB free disk space is ample for model storage.
- `libmpi_cxx.so.40` is missing from the system. Install `openmpi-bin` or provide a workaround for torch MPI dependency.
