Director: Accelerating Distributed MoE Serving via Online Proactive Expert Placement
Its efficiency depends on the communication and computation latencies of the GPUs, which are linked to the placement of experts in the GPUs. Existing works for optimizing expert placement focus on leveraging past requests' expert activation patterns. However, they demonstrate deficiencies facing diverse and rapidly changing request patterns, calling for an online, proactive approach.
