Image Overview

This image combines vLLM-Omni and MindIE-SD (Mind Inference Engine Stable Diffusion) into a single container, enabling both multi-modal LLM inference and Stable Diffusion image generation on Atlas NPUs.

It is built on top of the quay.io/ascend/vllm-omni base image (which includes CANN 8.5.1, torch, TorchNPU, vllm, and vllm_ascend). Two variants are provided for different NPU series:

  • Atlas 800I A2 inference server: based on quay.io/ascend/vllm-omni:v0.20.0, for Atlas 800I A2 inference server
  • Atlas 800I A3 SuperPoD Server: based on quay.io/ascend/vllm-omni:v0.20.0-a3, for Atlas 800I A3 SuperPoD Server

Both variants add the following Atlas tuning and debugging tools:

Component Version Description
mindiesd latest MindIE Stable Diffusion inference engine
msprobe 0.1.4 Precision debugging tool
msmodelslim 8.2.1 Model compression and quantization tool
msprof-analyze 26.0.0 MindStudio Profiler analysis tool
msprof (bundled with CANN) NPU profiling tool

Quick Start

Pull Base Image

Browse all available tags at quay.io/ascend/vllm-omni.

Atlas 800I A2 inference server:

docker pull quay.io/ascend/vllm-omni:v0.20.0

Atlas 800I A3 SuperPoD Server:

docker pull quay.io/ascend/vllm-omni:v0.20.0-a3

Tip: You can also use podman pull in place of docker pull if you prefer Podman as your container runtime.

Run the Container

Atlas 800I A2 inference server:

docker run -it --rm --name=mindiesd \
    --privileged \
    --shm-size=1g \
    --device /dev/davinci0 \
    --device /dev/davinci1 \
    --device /dev/davinci2 \
    --device /dev/davinci3 \
    --device /dev/davinci_manager \

    mindiesd:v3.0.0-cann8.5.1-torch_npu2.9.0-910b-ubuntu22.04-py3.11-aarch64 \
    bash

Atlas 800I A3 SuperPoD Server:

docker run -it --rm --name=mindiesd \
    --privileged \
    --shm-size=1g \
    --device /dev/davinci0 \
    --device /dev/davinci1 \
    --device /dev/davinci2 \
    --device /dev/davinci3 \
    --device /dev/davinci_manager \
    --device /dev/devmm_svm \
    --device /dev/hisi_hdc \

    mindiesd:v3.0.0-cann8.5.1-torch_npu2.9.0-a3-ubuntu22.04-py3.11-aarch64 \
    bash

Note: The --privileged flag and device mappings are required for NPU access. The host must mount driver libraries (/usr/local/Ascend/driver/lib64), driver version info, DCMI, npu-smi, and Atlas install info into the container.
