When does this happen?

IF RuntimeError during vLLM process bootstrapping when tensor_parallel_size > 1, often with 'Producer process has been terminated before all shared CUDA tensors released'.

How others solved it

THEN Set the environment variable VLLM_WORKER_MULTIPROC_METHOD=fork before launching vLLM. This forces the worker multiprocessing method to fork, avoiding the RuntimeError observed with the default 'mp' method.

import os
os.environ['VLLM_WORKER_MULTIPROC_METHOD'] = 'fork'
# then initialize LLM with tensor_parallel_size > 1
