Text Generation Inference - TensorRT-LLM Backend Implementation

Description

This folder provides the sources of the TensorRT-LLM backend implementation powered by TensorRT-LLM Executor new API

Simplified Request Sequence

    User ->> TextGenerationInference.HttpServer: POST /generate
    TextGenerationInference.HttpServer ->> TextGenerationInference.TensorRtLlmBackend: Validate and forward inputs & parameters
    TextGenerationInference.TensorRtLlmBackend ->> TextGenerationInference.TensorRtLlmWorkerThread: Allocate a new context and spawn a new thread to handle the request
    TextGenerationInference.TensorRtLlmWorkerThread ->> TensorRtLlm.Executor: Submit the request to the In-Flight Batcher
    activate Nvidia.Gpu
    TensorRtLlm.Executor ->> Nvidia.Gpu: Add the request to the poll for execution
    TensorRtLlm.Executor -->> TextGenerationInference.TensorRtLlmWorkerThread: Response with an unique request identifier

                    TextGenerationInference.TensorRtLlmWorkerThread ->> TensorRtLlm.Executor: Poll request number of new token(s) generated
                else There are new generated tokens
                    TextGenerationInference.TensorRtLlmWorkerThread ->> TensorRtLlm.Executor: Retrieve newly generated tokens
                    TensorRtLlm.Executor -->> TextGenerationInference.TensorRtLlmWorkerThread: Return decoded token information and potential error (omitted)

                            TensorRtLlm.Executor ->> Nvidia.Gpu: Remove request from the scheduler and from the GPU
                            TextGenerationInference.TensorRtLlmWorkerThread -->> User: Stream the remaining decoded tokens and flush the connection
                        else Generated token is not final
