vLLM single-node vs multi-node serving
When vLLM should serve a model from one GPU, from several GPUs in one node with tensor parallelism, or across nodes with tensor plus pipeline parallelism. Covers the vLLM docs' rule of thumb for choosing, the Ray runtime for multi-node runs, fast interconnect needs, and the unencrypted node-to-node traffic that multi-node serving brings.
