Active Deployment

• deployment — deploy and update process for both servers
• frank-redo-2026-08-17 — the full redo: topology change, model choices, context math, and the two install runbooks
• Dankserver — the llama.cpp FastMTP box (frank-default-large)
• Dankclaw — the vLLM ROCm box (frank-default-small)

vLLM Reference (Dankclaw)

• 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 served by frank-default-small)

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• qwen3.8-spec-matrix — Qwen3.8-27B spec history (superseded by FastMTP)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 — the Podman app stack on the same two hosts. Its OpenWebUI consumes the :7770 endpoint on Dankserver; its Gitea instance hosts this repository.
