Active Deployment

• deployment — deploy and update process for both servers
• frank-redo-2026-08-17 — the 2026-08-17 topology change
• dflash2-large-vulkan — the DFlash2 runtime on Dankclaw (frank-default-large, Vulkan)
• Dankserver — the upstream llama.cpp box (frank-default-small)
• Dankclaw — the DFlash2 Vulkan box (frank-default-large)

DFlash2 Reference (Dankclaw)

• dflash2-large-vulkan — DFlash2 model, Vulkan build, build runbook, and the frank-default-large service

CIRU Reference (retired)

• ciru-activefpx-promptforge — the retired CIRU ROCmFPX runtime (archived in .AGENTTRASH, 2026-08-21)

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• qwen3.8-spec-matrix — Qwen3.8-27B spec history (superseded by FastMTP)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