SGLang LLM Inference Server: Define TTFT, TPOT and Concurrency Before GPU Count

SGLang is designed for production-level LLM serving and can expose OpenAI-compatible APIs from single-GPU to distributed clusters. Capacity planning should measure not only tokens/s but TTFT, TPOT and concurrency behavior.

How does SGLang scale across multiple GPUs?

Official SGLang server arguments use `--tp` for tensor parallelism and `--dp` for data parallelism, with the Model Gateway recommended for data parallel setups. `bench_serving` measures production-facing metrics such as TTFT, TPOT, ITL and throughput.

Serving architecture

How SGLang routes requests through a gateway to GPU servers

The Model Gateway can route traffic across replicas or data-parallel servers, while GPU servers run the model according to TP/DP topology.

Tokens/s alone does not explain user experience

Evaluate first-token latency, inter-token behavior and throughput under concurrency together.

GPU topology

Choose TP and DP by model and traffic profile, not GPU count

Use TP when the model does not fit one GPU. If it fits but throughput is insufficient, DP may be better. TP and DP can also be combined.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does SGLang provide an OpenAI-compatible API?

Yes. Official documentation supports model serving with OpenAI-compatible APIs.

What is the TP versus DP difference?

TP splits model computation across GPUs; DP replicates instances to increase throughput.

Why does TTFT matter?

Users feel initial responsiveness through TTFT; high overall throughput can still feel slow with poor TTFT.
