Verified Environment for "AMD EPYC 12-Channel DDR5 + Single GPU Hybrid MoE Benchmark: Running DeepSeek-R1-671B & Qwen3-235B-A22B via KTransformers & ik_llama.cpp (-ot)"

Tested Hardware & OS

AMD EPYC 9374F / 9554P (32C/64C Zen 4 · 12x 48GB DDR5-4800 ECC = 576GB @ ~460 GB/s) + 1x NVIDIA RTX 5090 (32GB) or RTX 4090 (24GB)

Pinned Stack & Model Versions
ik_llama.cpp commit 9c4e21a (`-mla 3 -fa -fmoe -ot`)KTransformers 0.2.4 (CUDA 12.8 + AVX-512 / AMX)llama.cpp b4810 (mainline reference)
Offline Boundary (100% Air-Gapped Local Server Execution)

All GGUF weights reside on local PCIe 4.0/5.0 NVMe RAID and execute completely offline without external API or telemetry calls.

Known Operational Limits & Failure Modes
  • Hybrid CPU+GPU MoE offloading only accelerates **sparse MoE architectures** (`DeepSeek-R1-671B` with 37B active, `Qwen3-235B-A22B` with 22B active, `Qwen3-Next-80B-A3B` with 3B active); dense 70B/405B models read 100% of weights on every token and remain capped at ~5–8 tok/s on DDR5.
  • Leaving Linux Auto-NUMA balancing enabled (`kernel.numa_balancing=1`) or spawning threads across SMT hyperthreads causes 50%–65% decode speed degradation due to cross-CCD page migration stalls.
DEPLOYMENT CHECKLIST // 配置落地核验步骤

3-Step Verification Checklist After Deploying run-epyc-hybrid-moe-llm.sh

  1. Verified `sysctl kernel.numa_balancing` is `0` and all 12 DDR5 channels are populated (`dmidecode -t memory` / `numactl --hardware`).
  2. Configured `-ngl 99 -ot "blk\.[0-9]+\.ffn_.*_exps\.weight=CPU"` so Attention/KV stay on GPU while routed MoE experts run on DDR5.
  3. Enabled `-mla 3 -fa -fmoe -ctk q8_0` in `ik_llama.cpp` and pinned `-t` strictly to physical Zen 4/5 cores without SMT.
