v4 (cap=16) saw 35% session-cap fallback because the local soft_cap
min(16, usable / target) evaluates to 1-2 for large agentic inputs.
The cap was hit not because D was full but because replay's heuristic
underestimated capacity.
This change makes worker admission_mode authoritative for ALL paths:
SGLang side:
- io_struct.py: DirectAppendAdmissionReqInput gains a `mode` field
("direct_append" | "seed", default "direct_append" preserves prior
behavior).
- scheduler.py:admit_direct_append: when mode == "seed", skip the
resident-on-D requirement and run the same capacity check + LRU
eviction (maybe_trim_decode_session_cache) that direct_append uses.
This lets D atomically decide if a new session can be admitted based
on actual token_to_kv_pool_allocator state.
Replay side (replay.py):
- _query_decode_direct_admission gains a `mode` parameter.
- _reserve_decode_session_capacity: in worker admission_mode, the
seed/reseed branch now queries D with mode="seed" and trusts the
result, instead of estimating capacity from the residency snapshot.
- _should_admit_new_decode_session: in worker mode, skip the local
soft_cap pre-check and let D decide. Same-D session fast-path is
preserved.
Effects:
- Local hardcoded cap of 16 is bypassed under worker mode; D's real
KV pool size is the only constraint.
- LRU eviction runs in D's process atomically with admission, so
starvation (the v3 bimodal "lucky vs starved sessions" pattern)
should resolve.
scripts/sweep_tp1_v5_optD.sh added to run the same 1P7D / 2P6D
configs as v4 with the new admission path.

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/5090), 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.
