vLLM supports distributed tensor-parallel and pipeline-parallel inference and serving. Currently, we support [Megatron-LM's tensor parallel algorithm](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1909.08053.pdf). We manage the distributed runtime with either [Ray](https://github.com/ray-project/ray) or python native multiprocessing. Multiprocessing can be used when deploying on a single node, multi-node inferencing currently requires Ray.

Multiprocessing will be used by default when not running in a Ray placement group and if there are sufficient GPUs available on the same node for the configured {code}`tensor_parallel_size`, otherwise Ray will be used. This default can be overridden via the {code}`LLM` class {code}`distributed-executor-backend` argument or {code}`--distributed-executor-backend` API server argument. Set it to {code}`mp` for multiprocessing or {code}`ray` for Ray. It's not required for Ray to be installed for the multiprocessing case.

To run multi-GPU inference with the {code}`LLM` class, set the {code}`tensor_parallel_size` argument to the number of GPUs you want to use. For example, to run inference on 4 GPUs:
