This commit adds NPU acceleration for vision processing in vLLM's Qwen2.5-VL multimodal pipeline, enabling hybrid inference with vision on NPU (Ryzen AI) and LLM on iGPU (Radeon 890M). Key changes: - Created generic NPU vision backend infrastructure in vllm/vision_npu/ * Abstract NPUVisionBackend base class for pluggable accelerators * FlexMLRTVisionBackend implementation using AMD FlexMLRT * C++ pybind11 bridge (vision_flexmlrt.cpp) for direct FlexMLRT API access - C++ bridge implementation: * Uses correct tensor names from HSI file (compute_graph.ifm_ddr/ofm_ddr) * Preallocates output buffers (FlexMLRT requirement) * Includes extensive debug logging for troubleshooting * Temporary reshape workaround for input tensor mismatch - Modified Qwen2.5-VL vision encoder: * Added NPU backend detection in vision.py helpers * Dual backend support in qwen2_5_vl.py (PyTorch vs NPU) * Environment-based configuration (VLLM_VISION_NPU_*) - Test infrastructure: * Integration test for NPU vision + iGPU LLM * Reduced GPU memory utilization to 0.3 to fit both workloads Current status: ✓ NPU model loads successfully via FlexMLRT ✓ Inference completes and returns correct output shape [1073, 3584] ⚠ Input shape mismatch needs proper preprocessing (TODO) Technical notes: - NPU model expects [1073, 4, 1280] input from HSI specification - vLLM provides [4292, 1176] pixel_values - needs reshape logic - Debug logs left in for further development/troubleshooting Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 4 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Improves the input preprocessing in the FlexMLRT C++ bridge to correctly handle the shape mismatch between vLLM's format and the NPU model's expected input. Changes: - Implement 2×2 spatial merging: [4292, 1176] → [1073, 4×1176] - Add feature padding/projection: 1176 → 1280 features per group - Document the shape transformation with detailed comments - Zero-initialize output buffer to handle padding Shape analysis: - Input: 4292 patches (58×74 grid) × 1176 features - After 2×2 merge: 1073 groups (29×37) × 4 patches/group - Feature padding: 1176 → 1280 features (pad with zeros) - Final shape: [1073, 4, 1280] matching NPU model HSI spec This allows the NPU model to run with data from vLLM's vision encoder, though the feature dimension mismatch (1176 vs 1280) indicates the NPU model may have been exported from a different pipeline configuration. Future work should re-export the model with matching shapes. Tested: ✓ C++ bridge test passes ✓ Python backend wrapper test passes ✓ Output shape correct: (1073, 3584) Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 4 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add FLASH_ATTENTION_TRITON_AMD_ENABLE=TRUE environment variable to enable Triton-based flash attention on AMD ROCm GPUs. This allows the iGPU (Radeon 890M/gfx1150) to use optimized flash attention while the NPU handles vision processing via FlexMLRT. Test results: ✓ NPU vision backend successfully detected and loaded ✓ VisionFlexMLRTModel initialized ✓ Qwen2.5-VL model recognized: Qwen2_5_VLForConditionalGeneration ✓ Vision tower configured to use NPU backend ✓ Log message: "[Qwen2.5VL] Using NPU vision backend" Remaining work: - Build vLLM C++ extensions for complete LLM functionality (Current error: missing vllm._C.silu_and_mul) Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 4 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Problem: - NPU vision processing for multiple concurrent requests was sequential - FlexMLRT NPU requires fixed input size [4292, 1176] per image - Standard vLLM batching concatenates vision inputs from multiple requests - This caused incompatibility: batched tensor size didn't match NPU expectations Solution: 1. Auto-detect NPU backend via VLLM_VISION_NPU_BACKEND environment variable 2. Disable cross-request vision batching for NPU (yield single-item batches) 3. Process multiple single-item batches in parallel using ThreadPoolExecutor 4. Enable with VLLM_NPU_ASYNC_PIPELINE=1 environment variable Performance Results (3 concurrent requests): - Sequential: 120.29s total (40.10s avg per request) - Concurrent: 72.42s total (24.14s avg per request) - Speedup: 1.66x throughput improvement (39.8% faster) Changes: - vllm/multimodal/utils.py: NPU backend detection and single-item batching - vllm/v1/worker/gpu_model_runner.py: Parallel batch processing for NPU mode - vllm/vision_npu/flexmlrt_backend.py: Detailed timing logs for debugging Environment Variables: - VLLM_VISION_NPU_BACKEND=flexmlrt|onnxrt (enables NPU mode) - VLLM_NPU_ASYNC_PIPELINE=1 (enables parallel processing) - VLLM_NPU_TIMING=1 (enables detailed timing logs) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The hybrid model (qwen25vl_hybrid) has visual weights removed for NPU processing. Pure GPU testing requires the original Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct model with intact vision weights. Change: - Model: /proj/gdba/lichang/hybrid-vllm/model/qwen25vl_hybrid + Model: /proj/gdba/lichang/hybrid-vllm/model/source/Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct This fixes the ValueError about missing visual.blocks weights when attempting to run pure GPU inference.
