- In `v0.5.2`, `v0.5.3`, and `v0.5.3.post1`, there is a bug caused by [zmq](https://github.com/zeromq/pyzmq/issues/2000) , which can occasionally cause vLLM to hang depending on the machine configuration. The solution is to upgrade to the latest version of `vllm` to include the [fix](gh-pr:6759).
- To circumvent a NCCL [bug](https://github.com/NVIDIA/nccl/issues/1234) , all vLLM processes will set an environment variable ``NCCL_CUMEM_ENABLE=0`` to disable NCCL's ``cuMem`` allocator. It does not affect performance but only gives memory benefits. When external processes want to set up a NCCL connection with vLLM's processes, they should also set this environment variable, otherwise, inconsistent environment setup will cause NCCL to hang or crash, as observed in the [RLHF integration](https://github.com/OpenRLHF/OpenRLHF/pull/604) and the [discussion](gh-issue:5723#issuecomment-2554389656) .

Currently in vLLM for HPU we support four execution modes, depending on selected HPU PyTorch Bridge backend (via `PT_HPU_LAZY_MODE` environment variable), and `--enforce-eager` flag.
