LMSYS details Elastic Expert Parallelism Scaling in SGLang with NIXL: MoE deployments can add GPUs in fine-grained increments without restarts or full replicas. A 20-GPU deployment grows to 24 by adding four ranks while existing ranks keep serving. Covers expert-parallel topology expansion, CUDA graph recapture, benchmarks, practical limits, and roadmap (EPLB, DP-attention shards, scale-down). Built with NVIDIA and Mooncake teams.
