arXiv:2605.20982v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: AlltoAll dispatch is the dominant bottleneck of MoE expert parallelism, and the interconnect community has responded with four families of mitigations: predictive sample placement, adaptive expert relayout, hierarchical collectives, and EP-aware topology. All four rest on two assumptions about the workload. The first is that routing imbalance is correctable by the system layer. The second is that the mock-token benchmarks evaluating them faithfully represent production routing. We introduce DODOCO to test both assumptions. We instrument five Mo
The increasing scale and complexity of AI models, particularly those using MoE, are pushing the limits of current hardware and interconnect architectures, making efficiency bottlenecks a critical area of research.
Optimizing dispatch operations in MoE models is crucial for advancing AI compute efficiency, which directly impacts the scalability, cost, and performance of future AI systems.
This research introduces a novel diagnostic tool to rigorously evaluate and improve the underlying assumptions and effectiveness of mitigation strategies for AI parallel dispatch operations.
