# Apple Silicon with Metal (MLX)
|
|
|
|
This document describes how run SGLang on Apple Silicon using [Metal (MLX)](https://opensource.apple.com/projects/mlx/). If you encounter issues or have questions, please [open an issue](https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang/issues).
|
|
|
|
## Install SGLang
|
|
|
|
You can install SGLang using one of the methods below.
|
|
|
|
### Install from Source
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Use the default branch
|
|
git clone https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang.git
|
|
cd sglang
|
|
|
|
# Install sglang python package
|
|
pip install --upgrade pip
|
|
rm -f python/pyproject.toml && mv python/pyproject_other.toml python/pyproject.toml
|
|
uv pip install -e "python[all_mps]"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Launch of the Serving Engine
|
|
|
|
Launch the server with:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
SGLANG_USE_MLX=1 python -m sglang.launch_server \
|
|
--model <MODEL_ID_OR_PATH> \
|
|
--disable-cuda-graph \
|
|
--host 0.0.0.0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Key Parameters Explained:**
|
|
|
|
1. `SGLANG_USE_MLX=1` - Enables the use of MLX as the SGLang runtime backend (if disabled, SGLang will fall back to `torch.mps`, which has less support)
|
|
2. `--disable-cuda-graph` - Disables usage of CUDA graph, which is not relevant for Apple Metal.
|
|
3. `--disable-overlap-schedule` - Disables overlap scheduling (enabled/not present by default) achieved using MLX's `async_eval()`
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Benchmarking with Requests
|
|
|
|
`sglang.benchmark_one_batch` calls the synchronous prefill/decode methods directly without going through the scheduler and the overlap code path.
|
|
|
|
`sglang.benchmark_offline_throughput` can toggle overlap scheduling as it uses the scheduler and the overlap code path by using the flag `--disable-overlap-schedule`.
|
|
|
|
### Throughput Testing
|
|
|
|
Basic synchronous one batch throughput:
|
|
```bash
|
|
SGLANG_USE_MLX=1 python -m sglang.bench_one_batch \
|
|
--model-path <MODEL_ID_OR_PATH> \
|
|
--disable-cuda-graph \
|
|
--tp-size 1 \
|
|
--batch-size 1 \
|
|
--input-len 60 \
|
|
--output-len 10
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Synchronous offline throughput:
|
|
```bash
|
|
SGLANG_USE_MLX=1 python -m sglang.bench_offline_throughput \
|
|
--model-path <MODEL_ID_OR_PATH> \
|
|
--disable-cuda-graph \
|
|
--num-prompts 1 \
|
|
--disable-overlap-schedule
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Asynchronous offline throughput:
|
|
```bash
|
|
SGLANG_USE_MLX=1 python -m sglang.bench_offline_throughput \
|
|
--model-path <MODEL_ID_OR_PATH> \
|
|
--disable-cuda-graph \
|
|
--num-prompts 1
|
|
```
