<p><strong>Known limitations</strong></p>
<p>There are some known limitations when you pip install pre-built TensorRT LLM wheel package.</p>
<ol class="arabic">
<li><p>MPI in the Slurm environment</p>
<p>If you encounter an error while running TensorRT LLM in a Slurm-managed cluster, you need to reconfigure the MPI installation to work with Slurm.
The setup methods depends on your slurm configuration, pls check with your admin. This is not a TensorRT LLM specific, rather a general mpi+slurm issue.</p>

<li><p>Prevent <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pip</span></code> from replacing existing PyTorch installation</p>
<p>On certain systems, particularly Ubuntu 22.04, users installing TensorRT LLM would find that their existing, CUDA 13.0 compatible PyTorch installation (e.g., <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">torch==2.9.0+cu130</span></code>) was being uninstalled by <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pip</span></code>. It was then replaced by a CUDA 12.8 version (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">torch==2.9.0</span></code>), causing the TensorRT LLM installation to be unusable and leading to runtime errors.</p>
<p>The solution is to create a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pip</span></code> constraints file, locking <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">torch</span></code> to the currently installed version. Here is an example of how this can be done manually:</p>
<div class="highlight-bash notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">CURRENT_TORCH_VERSION</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="k">$(</span>python3<span class="w"> </span>-c<span class="w"> </span><span class="s2">&quot;import torch; print(torch.__version__)&quot;</span><span class="k">)</span>
<span class="nb">echo</span><span class="w"> </span><span class="s2">&quot;torch==</span><span class="nv">$CURRENT_TORCH_VERSION</span><span class="s2">&quot;</span><span class="w"> </span>&gt;<span class="w"> </span>/tmp/torch-constraint.txt
pip3<span class="w"> </span>install<span class="w"> </span>--upgrade<span class="w"> </span>pip<span class="w"> </span>setuptools<span class="w"> </span><span class="o">&amp;&amp;</span><span class="w"> </span>pip3<span class="w"> </span>install<span class="w"> </span>tensorrt_llm<span class="w"> </span>-c<span class="w"> </span>/tmp/torch-constraint.txt
