This way you can run multiple `rpc-server` instances on the same host, each with a different CUDA device. This way you can run multiple `rpc-server` instances on the same host, each with a different CUDA device.
On the main host build `llama.cpp` only with `-DGGML_RPC=ON`: On the main host build `llama.cpp` for the local backend and add `-DGGML_RPC=ON` to the build options.
Finally, when running `llama-cli`, use the `--rpc` option to specify the host and port of each `rpc-server`:
```bash
mkdir build-rpc
cd build-rpc
cmake .. -DGGML_RPC=ON
cmake --build . --config Release
```
Finally, use the `--rpc` option to specify the host and port of each `rpc-server`:
```bash ```bash
$ bin/llama-cli -m ../models/tinyllama-1b/ggml-model-f16.gguf -p "Hello, my name is" --repeat-penalty 1.0 -n 64 --rpc 192.168.88.10:50052,192.168.88.11:50052 -ngl 99 $ bin/llama-cli -m ../models/tinyllama-1b/ggml-model-f16.gguf -p "Hello, my name is" --repeat-penalty 1.0 -n 64 --rpc 192.168.88.10:50052,192.168.88.11:50052 -ngl 99
``` ```
This way you can offload model layers to both local and remote devices.
