中采用了最优T4配置:ct2_inter_threads=2、ct2_max_queued_batches=16、ct2_batch_type=examples。该设置使NLLB获得了显著更优的在线式性能,同时大致保持了大批次吞吐量不变。我没有将相同配置应用于两个Marian模型,因为聚焦式报告显示了复杂的权衡:opus-mt-zh-en 在保守默认配置下更为均衡,而 opus-mt-en-zh 虽然获得了吞吐量提升,但在 c=8 时尾延迟波动较大。 我还将部署/配置经验记录在 /data/saas-search/translation/README.md 中,并在 /data/saas-search/docs/TODO.txt 中标记了优化结果。关键实践要点现已记录如下:使用CT2 + float16,保持单worker,将NLLB的 inter_threads 设为2、max_queued_batches 设为16,在T4上避免使用 inter_threads=4(因为这会损害高批次吞吐量),除非区分在线/离线配置,否则保持Marian模型的默认配置保守。

Implemented CTranslate2 for the three local translation models and switched the existing local_nllb / local_marian factories over to it. The new runtime lives in local_ctranslate2.py, including HF->CT2 auto-conversion, float16 compute type mapping, Marian direction handling, and NLLB target-prefix decoding. The service wiring is in service.py (line 113), and the three model configs now point at explicit ctranslate2-float16 dirs in config.yaml (line 133). I also updated the setup path so this is usable end-to-end: ctranslate2>=4.7.0 was added to requirements_translator_service.txt and requirements.txt, the download script now supports pre-conversion in download_translation_models.py (line 27), and the docs/config examples were refreshed in translation/README.md. I installed ctranslate2 into .venv-translator, pre-converted all three models, and the CT2 artifacts are now already on disk: models/translation/facebook/nllb-200-distilled-600M/ctranslate2-float16 models/translation/Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-zh-en/ctranslate2-float16 models/translation/Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-en-zh/ctranslate2-float16 Verification was solid. python3 -m compileall passed, direct TranslationService smoke tests ran successfully in .venv-translator, and the focused NLLB benchmark on the local GPU showed a clear win: batch_size=16: HF 0.347s/batch, 46.1 items/s vs CT2 0.130s/batch, 123.0 items/s batch_size=1: HF 0.396s/request vs CT2 0.126s/request One caveat: translation quality on some very short phrases, especially opus-mt-en-zh, still looks a bit rough in smoke tests, so I’d run your real quality set before fully cutting over. If you want, I can take the next step and update the benchmark script/report so you have a fresh full CT2 performance report for all three models.
