Based on testing with mock servers:
| Instances | Startup Time | Response Time | Throughput |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | ~3 seconds | ~0.2s | 20 req/s |
| 16 | ~4 seconds | ~0.3s | 30 req/s |
| 32 | ~5 seconds | ~0.3s | 35 req/s |
| 64 | ~6 seconds | ~0.4s | 40+ req/s |

- Mock Mode: Always test with
--mockfirst - Resource Planning: Calculate GPU memory needs for your deployment size
- Port Management: Ensure sufficient port range availability
- Model Path: Update config.py with your model path for convenience
- Performance: Start small and scale up based on your hardware capabilities
For issues and questions:
- Check the troubleshooting section in docs/USAGE_GUIDE.md
- Run with
--log-level DEBUGfor detailed logging - Test with mock mode to isolate issues
- Review the examples for common usage patterns
After installation, you should be able to:
- ✅ Run mock tests successfully
- ✅ Deploy multiple instances simultaneously
- ✅ Get health check responses from all instances
- ✅ Send inference requests and get responses
- ✅ Scale up to your target instance count
Ready to deploy your 64 Qwen2.5 instances! 🚀
