Summary

Ten disaggregated perf cases in the smallest shape each model runs in: one ctx
worker, one gen worker, one concurrent request, one round. Five on GB200-LYRIS
and five on GB300-LYRIS, covering DeepSeek-R1, DeepSeek-V4-Pro, GLM-5,
Kimi-K2.5-Thinking, Kimi-K3, Qwen3-235B and GPT-OSS-120B.

They answer "does this model still come up and serve on this GPU", not "how
fast is it". The existing multinode list answers the second question and takes
roughly four hours on GB200 alone. This tier takes 1028 s on GB200-LYRIS and
2731 s on GB300-LYRIS
, which is what makes it affordable to run daily.

The shapes are the minimum that fits, not arbitrary small numbers

Each ctx/gen worker count was checked against the model's weight size for the
parallelism declared in its own config, so a case that cannot fit its GPUs is
caught in review rather than at hour three of a run.

Two are deliberately not one-node-per-worker, because the model does not allow
it:

case why
gb300_basic_kimi-k3 needs tep16 on both ctx and gen
gb200_basic_glm-5_8k1k needs dep8 on the gen side

Those are the smallest shapes those models run in, not exceptions to the tier's
rule.

qa/llm_perf_multinode_basic.txt

Added so a scheduler can select this tier by file rather than by pasting ten
ids into a CI variable — the shape that goes stale the first time somebody adds
a case. Every id in it also appears in qa/llm_perf_multinode.txt, which stays
the single place a case is added.

Test coverage

New test cases only; no library or CI code is touched. All ten have been run
end to end on GB200-LYRIS and GB300-LYRIS, 10/10 passing, and the results were
cross-checked against TRT_perf.perf_result rather than taken from the
pipeline's own summary.

PR Checklist

  • Commit is signed off (git commit -s)
  • PR title follows [JIRA/NVBUG/None][type] description
  • No co-authors added
  • New files follow the conventions of the directory they live in — note
    that the 51 existing files under tests/scripts/perf/disaggregated/ carry
    no copyright header and .pre-commit-config.yaml has no such hook, so
    these config/test-list files follow suit. Happy to add headers if the
    maintainers read AGENTS.md as covering data files too.

Dev Engineer Review

  • Added ten basic disaggregated multi-node configurations for GB200-LYRIS and GB300-LYRIS.
  • Added separate context and generation workers with one concurrent request and one test round.
  • Added NIXL KV-cache transfer, FP8 KV caches, model-specific parallelism, and speculative decoding settings.
  • Added required multi-node worker configurations for models that need higher parallelism.
  • Added qa/llm_perf_multinode_basic.txt as a selectable basic tier.
  • Updated qa/llm_perf_multinode.txt with the basic-tier cases.
  • No library, API, or CI code changed.
  • Configuration values and file naming are consistent with the stated model, platform, and parallelism coverage.
  • The configurations validate model startup and serving. They do not measure performance.
  • No duplicate or unintended non-test scope changes were identified.

QA Engineer Review

  • Modified tests/integration/test_lists/qa/llm_perf_multinode.txt.
  • Added ten basic disaggregated end-to-end cases covering DeepSeek-R1, GLM-5, GPT-OSS-120B, Kimi-K2.5-Thinking, Qwen3-235B, DeepSeek-V4-Pro, and Kimi-K3 on GB200 and GB300 systems.
  • Added tests/integration/test_lists/qa/llm_perf_multinode_basic.txt.
  • No test functions were added or modified.
  • The new configurations are referenced by the QA test lists.
  • All ten cases passed end to end on both target platforms.
  • Verdict: sufficient.

Ten disaggregated perf cases in the smallest shape each model runs in: one
ctx worker, one gen worker, one concurrent request, one round. Five on
GB200-LYRIS and five on GB300-LYRIS, covering DeepSeek-R1, DeepSeek-V4-Pro,
GLM-5, Kimi-K2.5-Thinking, Kimi-K3, Qwen3-235B and GPT-OSS-120B.

They answer "does this model still come up and serve on this GPU", not "how
fast is it". The existing multinode list answers the second question and
takes roughly four hours on GB200 alone; this tier takes 1028 s on
GB200-LYRIS and 2731 s on GB300-LYRIS, which makes it affordable daily.

The shapes are the minimum that fits, not arbitrary small numbers. Each was
checked against the model's weight size for the ctx and gen worker counts
declared in its config, so a case that cannot fit its GPUs fails review
rather than at hour three of a run.

Two of them are not one-node-per-worker because the model does not allow it:
kimi-k3 needs tep16 on both sides, and gb200 glm-5 needs dep8 on the gen
side. Those are the smallest shapes those models run in, not exceptions to
the tier's rule.

Adds qa/llm_perf_multinode_basic.txt so a scheduler can select this tier by
file rather than by pasting ten ids into a variable, which is the shape that
goes stale the first time somebody adds a case. Every id in it also appears
in qa/llm_perf_multinode.txt, which stays the single place a case is added.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

Added a daily basic disaggregated multinode performance tier with nine GB200 and GB300 end-to-end cases. Added model-specific Slurm benchmark configurations with separate context and generation workers.

Basic disaggregated QA coverage

Layer / File(s) Summary
Daily tier and case registration
tests/integration/test_lists/qa/llm_perf_multinode.txt, tests/integration/test_lists/qa/llm_perf_multinode_basic.txt
Defines the daily basic tier and registers nine single-concurrency, single-round disaggregated end-to-end cases.
GB200 benchmark configurations
tests/scripts/perf/disaggregated/gb200_basic_*.yaml
Adds DeepSeek-R1, GLM-5, GPT-OSS-120B, Kimi-K2.5 Thinking, and Qwen3-235B configurations with GB200 resources, NIXL cache transfer, FP8 KV caches, and separate context and generation settings.
GB300 benchmark configurations
tests/scripts/perf/disaggregated/gb300_basic_*.yaml
Adds DeepSeek-R1, DeepSeek-V4-Pro, GLM-5, Kimi-K2.5 Thinking, and Kimi-K3 configurations with GB300 resources, model-specific parallelism, NIXL cache transfer, and speculative decoding where configured.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to d46c8

This change adds basic multinode QA coverage without changing product or runtime behavior. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal review and checks.

Test coverage summary — needs follow-up.

tests/integration/test_lists/qa/llm_perf_multinode_basic.txt adds ten QA entries and removes none. All ten entries also appear in tests/integration/test_lists/qa/llm_perf_multinode.txt. QA lists do not require matching test-db/ entries. The CBTS touchmap or coverage report is unavailable, so the coverage verdict is needs follow-up.
