The host-pool size check used psutil.virtual_memory().available -- regular RAM -- unconditionally. But
hugepages are carved OUT of regular RAM, so reserving e.g. 1 TB of 2M hugepages drops psutil.available
by ~1 TB, and the check then spuriously fails ("Not enough host memory ... only have 897 GB free") even
though the slab is allocated from the hugepages, not regular RAM. It was inspecting the wrong pool.
Two fixes:
- memory_pool_host.py: gate the psutil check on the DEFAULT (regular-malloc) allocator. A custom
host_tensor_allocator (the CP shared-L2 slab over hugetlbfs) owns its own capacity check, so skip the
regular-RAM check for it.
- cp_shared_l2_pool.py: add cp_shared_l2_hugetlbfs_free_bytes() + check_cp_shared_l2_hugetlbfs_capacity()
(statvfs the hugetlbfs mount: f_frsize = hugepage size, f_bavail = free hugepages) and call it in
create_cp_shared_host_slab before ftruncate/mmap. Now insufficient hugepages fail LOUD with a clean,
actionable message ("insufficient hugepages in /dev/hugepages: need X GB (N x 2M pages) but only Y GB
free; reserve more or reduce --hicache-size") instead of a cryptic mmap ENOMEM. Per-slab + sequential,
so each payload's slab sees the free remaining after the prior ones.
Unit-tested (capacity check: tiny fits, over-capacity fails loud). Pre-existing 2b L2-pooling code (not L3).

About
SGLang is a high-performance serving framework for large language models and multimodal models. It is designed to deliver low-latency and high-throughput inference across a wide range of setups, from a single GPU to large distributed clusters. Its core features include:
- Fast Runtime: Provides efficient serving with RadixAttention for prefix caching, a zero-overhead CPU scheduler, prefill-decode disaggregation, speculative decoding, continuous batching, paged attention, tensor/pipeline/expert/data parallelism, structured outputs, chunked prefill, quantization (FP4/FP8/INT4/AWQ/GPTQ), and multi-LoRA batching.
- Broad Model Support: Supports a wide range of language models (Llama, Qwen, DeepSeek, Kimi, GLM, GPT, Gemma, Mistral, etc.), embedding models (e5-mistral, gte, mcdse), reward models (Skywork), and diffusion models (WAN, Qwen-Image), with easy extensibility for adding new models. Compatible with most Hugging Face models and OpenAI APIs.
- Extensive Hardware Support: Runs on NVIDIA GPUs (GB200/B300/H100/A100/Spark), AMD GPUs (MI355/MI300), Intel Xeon CPUs, Google TPUs, Ascend NPUs, and more.
- Active Community: SGLang is open-source and supported by a vibrant community with widespread industry adoption, powering over 400,000 GPUs worldwide.
- RL & Post-Training Backbone: SGLang is a proven rollout backend used for training many frontier models, with native RL integrations and adoption by well-known post-training frameworks such as AReaL, Miles, slime, Tunix, verl and more.
