We observe the same general pattern when extending to wide EP with disaggregated prefill. Prefill and decode run with separate parallelism strategies and node counts, both tuned to the workload and target interactivity level. Take an 8k/1k workload (prefill heavy) at the high-throughput, low-interactivity end of the frontier. Prefill is the bottleneck as each request requires a forward pass of 8192 input tokens, which is computationally expensive. Recipes in this region allocate more prefill nodes than decode (4P1D, 7P2D, 4P3D) to sustain high prefill throughput. These prefill nodes run DEP configurations, replicating attention weights across independent data-parallel ranks so that multiple long-context prefills can be processed simultaneously. Decode nodes are fewer but run wide DEP with large batch sizes by the same principle as with single node.

Evidence

expert parallelism handles MoE routing at the moderate batch sizes where EP load balance is sufficient

② Atomic Claim

expert parallelism 則在中等 batch size、EP load balance 已足夠時負責 MoE routing
