TensorRT-LLM 1.4 defaults to 8 HTTP frontends, increasing RAM use

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

TensorRT-LLM version 1.4.0rc3 introduces a significant change by defaulting trtllm-serve to run eight HTTP frontend processes instead of one. This update, marked as breaking, aims to address performance bottlenecks in the host-side processing of requests, particularly with high concurrency. While GPU memory usage remains unchanged, this new default increases host RAM consumption and alters connection balancing strategies. AI
