DeepEP and Mooncake backends support two modes for token dispatch: `normal` mode (optimized for prefill workloads with high throughput) and `low_latency` mode (optimized for decode workloads with low latency and CUDA Graph compatibility). Users are recommended to set `--deepep-mode auto` to enable automatic dispatch mode switching during runtime. Setting `--deepep-mode normal` or `--deepep-mode low_latency` is useful for debugging or development purposes.

SGLang integrates the [Expert Parallelism Load Balancer (EPLB)](https://github.com/deepseek-ai/EPLB) from DeepSeek to address routing imbalances in MoE models. By analyzing expert activation statistics, EPLB computes an optimal expert arrangement, strategically placing or replicating experts to minimize GPU utilization variance, reduce idle cycles, and enhance scalability.
To enable EPLB, use the flags `--enable-eplb true --load-balance-method eplb`. For optimal performance, increase batch sizes to stabilize activation statistics and configure periodic rebalancing (e.g., every 1000 requests) to adapt to evolving workloads. Simulations demonstrate significant improvements in load balancedness (ratio of mean to max computation time), correlating strongly with throughput gains.
