# Global Cache Pooling
This document describes how to use MooncakeStore as the KV Cache storage backend for FastDeploy, enabling **Global Cache Pooling** across multiple inference instances.
## Overview
### What is Global Cache Pooling?
Global Cache Pooling allows multiple FastDeploy instances to share KV Cache through a distributed storage layer. This enables:
- **Cross-instance cache reuse**: KV Cache computed by one instance can be reused by another
- **PD Disaggregation optimization**: Prefill and Decode instances can share cache seamlessly
- **Reduced computation**: Avoid redundant prefix computation across requests

## Example Scripts
Ready-to-use example scripts are available in [examples/cache_storage/](../../../examples/cache_storage/).
| Script | Scenario | Description |
|--------|----------|-------------|
| `run.sh` | Multi-Instance | Two standalone instances sharing cache |
| `run_03b_pd_storage.sh` | PD Disaggregation | P+D instances with global cache pooling |
## Prerequisites
### Hardware Requirements
- NVIDIA GPU with CUDA support
- RDMA network (recommended for production) or TCP
### Software Requirements
- Python 3.8+
- CUDA 11.8+
- FastDeploy (see installation below)
## Installation
Refer to [NVIDIA CUDA GPU Installation](https://paddlepaddle.github.io/FastDeploy/get_started/installation/nvidia_gpu/) for FastDeploy installation.
```bash
# Option 1: Install from PyPI
pip install fastdeploy-gpu
# Option 2: Build from source
bash build.sh
pip install ./dist/fastdeploy*.whl
```
MooncakeStore is automatically installed when you install FastDeploy.
## Configuration
We support two ways to configure MooncakeStore: via configuration file `mooncake_config.json` or via environment variables.
### Mooncake Configuration File
Create a `mooncake_config.json` file:
```json
{
"metadata_server": "http://0.0.0.0:15002/metadata",
"master_server_addr": "0.0.0.0:15001",
"global_segment_size": 1000000000,
"local_buffer_size": 1048576,
"protocol": "rdma",
"rdma_devices": ""
}
```
Set the `MOONCAKE_CONFIG_PATH` environment variable to enable the configuration:
```bash
export MOONCAKE_CONFIG_PATH=path/to/mooncake_config.json
```
Configuration parameters:
| Parameter | Description | Default |
|-----------|-------------|---------|
| `metadata_server` | HTTP metadata server URL | Required |
| `master_server_addr` | Master server address | Required |
| `global_segment_size` | Memory space each TP process shares to global shared memory (bytes) | 1GB |
| `local_buffer_size` | Local buffer size for data transfer (bytes) | 128MB |
| `protocol` | Transfer protocol: `rdma` or `tcp` | `rdma` |
| `rdma_devices` | RDMA device names (comma-separated) | Auto-detect |
### Environment Variables
Mooncake can also be configured via environment variables:
| Variable | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `MOONCAKE_MASTER_SERVER_ADDR` | Master server address (e.g., `10.0.0.1:15001`) |
| `MOONCAKE_METADATA_SERVER` | Metadata server URL |
| `MOONCAKE_GLOBAL_SEGMENT_SIZE` | Memory space each TP process shares to global shared memory (bytes) |
| `MOONCAKE_LOCAL_BUFFER_SIZE` | Local buffer size (bytes) |
| `MOONCAKE_PROTOCOL` | Transfer protocol (`rdma` or `tcp`) |
| `MOONCAKE_RDMA_DEVICES` | RDMA device names |
## Usage Scenarios
### Scenario 1: Multi-Instance Cache Sharing
Run multiple FastDeploy instances sharing a global KV Cache pool.
**Step 1: Start Mooncake Master**
```bash
mooncake_master \
--port=15001 \
--enable_http_metadata_server=true \
--http_metadata_server_host=0.0.0.0 \
--http_metadata_server_port=15002 \
--metrics_port=15003
```
**Step 2: Start FastDeploy Instances**
Instance 0:
```bash
export MOONCAKE_CONFIG_PATH="./mooncake_config.json"
export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0
python -m fastdeploy.entrypoints.openai.api_server \
--model ${MODEL_NAME} \
--port 52700 \
--max-model-len 32768 \
--max-num-seqs 32 \
--kvcache-storage-backend mooncake
```
Instance 1:
```bash
export MOONCAKE_CONFIG_PATH="./mooncake_config.json"
export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=1
python -m fastdeploy.entrypoints.openai.api_server \
--model ${MODEL_NAME} \
--port 52800 \
--max-model-len 32768 \
--max-num-seqs 32 \
--kvcache-storage-backend mooncake
```
**Step 3: Test Cache Reuse**
Send the same prompt to both instances. The second instance should reuse the KV Cache computed by the first instance.
```bash
# Request to Instance 0
curl -X POST "http://0.0.0.0:52700/v1/chat/completions" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello, world!"}], "max_tokens": 50}'
# Request to Instance 1 (should hit cached KV)
curl -X POST "http://0.0.0.0:52800/v1/chat/completions" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello, world!"}], "max_tokens": 50}'
```
### Scenario 2: PD Disaggregation with Global Cache
This scenario combines **PD Disaggregation** with **Global Cache Pooling**, enabling:
- Prefill instances to read Decode instances' output cache
- Optimal multi-turn conversation performance
**Architecture:**

```
**Step 1: Start Mooncake Master**
```bash
mooncake_master \
--port=15001 \
--enable_http_metadata_server=true \
--http_metadata_server_host=0.0.0.0 \
--http_metadata_server_port=15002
```
**Step 2: Start Router**
```bash
python -m fastdeploy.router.launch \
--port 52700 \
--splitwise
```
**Step 3: Start Prefill Instance**
```bash
export MOONCAKE_MASTER_SERVER_ADDR="127.0.0.1:15001"
export MOONCAKE_METADATA_SERVER="http://127.0.0.1:15002/metadata"
export MOONCAKE_PROTOCOL="rdma"
export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0
python -m fastdeploy.entrypoints.openai.api_server \
--model ${MODEL_NAME} \
--port 52400 \
--max-model-len 32768 \
--max-num-seqs 32 \
--splitwise-role prefill \
--cache-transfer-protocol rdma \
--router "0.0.0.0:52700" \
--kvcache-storage-backend mooncake
```
**Step 4: Start Decode Instance**
```bash
export MOONCAKE_MASTER_SERVER_ADDR="127.0.0.1:15001"
export MOONCAKE_METADATA_SERVER="http://127.0.0.1:15002/metadata"
export MOONCAKE_PROTOCOL="rdma"
export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=1
python -m fastdeploy.entrypoints.openai.api_server \
--model ${MODEL_NAME} \
--port 52500 \
--max-model-len 32768 \
--max-num-seqs 32 \
--splitwise-role decode \
--cache-transfer-protocol rdma \
--router "0.0.0.0:52700" \
--enable-output-caching \
--kvcache-storage-backend mooncake
```
**Step 5: Send Requests via Router**
```bash
curl -X POST "http://0.0.0.0:52700/v1/chat/completions" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}], "max_tokens": 50}'
```
## FastDeploy Parameters for Mooncake
| Parameter | Description |
|-----------|-------------|
| `--kvcache-storage-backend mooncake` | Enable Mooncake as KV Cache storage backend |
| `--enable-output-caching` | Enable output token caching (Decode instance recommended) |
| `--cache-transfer-protocol rdma` | Use RDMA for KV transfer between P and D |
| `--splitwise-role prefill/decode` | Set instance role in PD disaggregation |
| `--router` | Router address for PD disaggregation |
## Verification
### Check Cache Hit
To verify cache hit in logs:
```bash
# For multi-instance scenario
grep -E "storage_cache_token_num" log_*/api_server.log
# For PD disaggregation scenario
grep -E "storage_cache_token_num" log_prefill/api_server.log
```
If `storage_cache_token_num > 0`, the instance successfully read cached KV blocks from the global pool.
### Monitor Mooncake Master
```bash
# Check master status
curl http://localhost:15002/metadata
# Check metrics (if metrics_port is configured)
curl http://localhost:15003/metrics
```
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
**1. Port Already in Use**
```bash
# Check port usage
ss -ltn | grep 15001
# Kill existing process
kill -9 $(lsof -t -i:15001)
```
**2. RDMA Connection Failed**
- Verify RDMA devices: `ibv_devices`
- Check RDMA network: `ibv_devinfo`
- Fallback to TCP: Set `MOONCAKE_PROTOCOL=tcp`
**3. Cache Not Being Shared**
- Verify all instances connect to the same Mooncake master
- Check metadata server URL is consistent
- Verify `global_segment_size` is large enough
**4. Permission Denied on /dev/shm**
```bash
# Clean up stale shared memory files
find /dev/shm -type f -print0 | xargs -0 rm -f
```
### Debug Mode
Enable debug logging:
```bash
export FD_DEBUG=1
```
