# SGLang. 

Generation server with shared prefix caching

4.43 / 5    [Directory score](https://instain.ru/en/ai/sglang/#editorial-rating) [Official website ](https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang)

The server reuses the calculations for matching parts of requests. The impact of the cache can be evaluated on a repeatable set of inputs with the same generation parameters.

## Identify repeated input prefixes

Suppose a team reads the same guide and asks different questions. Each request begins with the same answer instructions and the same document, and only the question changes. This is a good case for testing SGLang prefix caching. The server can reuse some of the computation. If every request starts with a different user-specific passage, fewer prefixes will match and the result may differ.

## Two sets for one model

Collect training questions of equal complexity. In the first series, leave a general instruction and document at the beginning. In the second, put different documents of the same size. Run the series at the same response length and record the time until the first fragment appears, the number of errors and the load on the memory. Do not mix the cache effect with model or temperature changes. For a small run, cold start and first turns are especially noticeable, so mark them separately.

## How to make a decision

If typical requests rarely share a prefix, compare server behavior on the actual distribution of input lengths and request counts first. For a repeated workload, record how many shared documents fit in the current configuration. Before deployment, verify model availability, the client endpoint, and behavior after restart. The inference cache can be warmed again. Document access must still be enforced by the application.

## Suitable tasks

- Compare load with general and changing entry start

- Check the server for a repeated series of calls

Features 

## Strengths

- Prefix caching and parallel startup documented

- There are examples for several model families

Things to consider 

## Limitations

- Performance gains depend on the input structure and serving configuration

- Check hardware and model format support separately

### Terms

You can deploy the open-source engine yourself. Hardware and hosting costs and the license for the weights depend on your setup. Performance gains depend on the input structure and serving configuration.

From task to first result

## Practical example

Task

Compare load with general and changing entry start

What to prepare

Supported model, test server and a small set of short and long requests.

### Task brief or prompt

Run the model on a test server. Compare responses and wait times for a single query and for a group of simultaneous calls.

### Expected result

Table of delays, errors and startup settings with saved inputs.

### How to check the result

- Check the generation settings and the version of the weights before comparing.

- Check the long request and repeat after the error without access from the open network.

An editorial teaching example of a task brief, not the result of hands-on testing of the service. Check that the required mode is available, that you have rights to the source material and that the intended use of the result is permitted.
