[Perf] Tune MiniMax M2 fused moe kernel on H100 GPU by zhendonghua · Pull Request #18851 · sgl-project/sglang

zhendonghua · 2026-02-15T00:58:30Z

Motivation

MiniMax-M2 is not tuned on fused_moe_kernel and H100 gpu, which leads to a sub-optimal performance of throughput.

This PR runs the script that tunes Triton MoE Kernel, benchmarks the decode throughput and profiles the performance of tuned fused_moe_kernel.

The fused_moe_kernel is tuned by the following instruction.

python benchmark/kernels/fused_moe_triton/tuning_fused_moe_triton.py \
    --model MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2 \
	--tp-size 4 \
	--dtype fp8_w8a8 \
	--disable-shared-experts-fusion \
    --tune

Modifications

Add a configuration json file python/sglang/srt/layers/moe/fused_moe_triton/configs/triton_3_5_1/E=256,N=384,device_name=NVIDIA_H100_80GB_HBM3,dtype=fp8_w8a8,block_shape=[128, 128].json

Accuracy Tests

Benchmarking and Profiling

Serve the model with

python -m sglang.launch_server \
    --model-path MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M2 \
    --tp-size 4 \
    --tool-call-parser minimax-m2 \
    --reasoning-parser minimax-append-think \
    --trust-remote-code \
    --port 23333 \
    --mem-fraction-static 0.85

Benchmark the performance with

python3 -m sglang.bench_serving \
  --backend sglang-oai \
  --dataset-name random \
  --random-input-len 1024 \
  --random-output-len 1024 \
  --random-range-ratio 0.98 \
  --num-prompts 80 \
  --max-concurrency 16 \
  --port 23333

The output is as depicted below. The output throughput is 1008 token/s. Without the tuned kernel, the output throughput is 960 token/s. It brings about 5% speedup.

Profile with python3 -m sglang.bench_serving --dataset-name random --backend sglang-oai --random-range-ratio 1 --random-input-len 1200 --random-output-len 20 --max-concurrency 1 --num-prompts 5 --port 23333 --profile.

The performance is as depicted below. The fused_moe_kernel takes ~12 us. The un-tuned kernel takes ~15.5 us

Summary of Changes

Hello @zhendonghua, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request significantly enhances the inference performance of the MiniMax-M2 model when deployed on H100 GPUs. It addresses a sub-optimal throughput issue by integrating a newly tuned configuration for the fused_moe_kernel, leading to measurable improvements in both overall throughput and kernel-specific latency.

Highlights

Performance Tuning: Introduced a new configuration file for the fused_moe_kernel specifically tuned for the MiniMax-M2 model on H100 GPUs, addressing sub-optimal performance.
Throughput Improvement: Achieved a 5% speedup in decode throughput for the MiniMax-M2 model, increasing from 960 token/s to 1008 token/s with the tuned kernel.
Kernel Latency Reduction: Reduced the fused_moe_kernel latency from approximately 15.5 us to 12 us, demonstrating improved efficiency.
