Feature Description
By splitting the weights between NUMA nodes, and then doing tensor parallel between those nodes, bandwidth utilization can be significantly improved on multi socket systems, circumventing the problem of overloading the link between them when weights are shared globally. This was also recently implemented by sglang: https://lmsys.org/blog/2025-07-14-intel-xeon-optimization/#multi-numa-parallelism
Motivation
Likely faster
