In this tutorial, we explore NVIDIA’s srt-slurm framework and learn how we use srtctl to convert declarative YAML configurations into reproducible SLURM benchmark workflows for distributed LLM serving. We set up the project in Google Colab, inspect its internal architecture, define a cluster configuration, dry-run built-in and custom recipes, and model a disaggregated prefill-and-decode deployment
