DeepEP is a communication library designed specifically to support Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) and expert parallelism (EP) deployments. Its core role is to implement high-throughput, low-latency all-to-all GPU communication kernels, which handle the dispatching of tokens to different experts (or shards) and then combining expert outputs back into the main data flow. Because MoE architectures require routing inputs to different experts, communication overhead can become a bottleneck — DeepEP addresses that by providing optimized GPU kernels and efficient dispatch/combining logic. The library also supports low-precision operations (such as FP8) to reduce memory and bandwidth usage during communication. DeepEP is aimed at large-scale model inference or training systems where expert parallelism is used to scale model capacity without replicating entire networks.
