The authors examined expert parallelism, where a Mixture-of-Experts model distributes its expert subnetworks across GPUs and routes each token to selected experts.

In one line

CoMoE uses host-centric token routing to make multi-GPU MoE inference on consumer GPUs up to 1.46x faster and substantially cheaper than A800 deployments.
