This PR adds xccl support for XPU Platform since pytorch supports xccl as xpu distributed backend since 2.8 release:

  • Add dist_backend to CudaPlatformBase which can better abstract distributed backend and be reused during init_distributed_environment()
  • Add supports_xccl() check under utils
  • For XPU Platform, auto detects dist_backend during checking platform
  • Default XPUPlatform.dist_backend=ccl(<2.8), xccl(>=2.8)
  • User can switch by export XPU_CCL_BACKEND=ccl | xccl

👋 Hi! Thank you for contributing to the vLLM project.

💬 Join our developer Slack at https://slack.vllm.ai to discuss your PR in #pr-reviews, coordinate on features in #feat- channels, or join special interest groups in #sig- channels.

Just a reminder: PRs would not trigger full CI run by default. Instead, it would only run fastcheck CI which starts running only a small and essential subset of CI tests to quickly catch errors. You can run other CI tests on top of those by going to your fastcheck build on Buildkite UI (linked in the PR checks section) and unblock them. If you do not have permission to unblock, ping simon-mo or khluu to add you in our Buildkite org.

Once the PR is approved and ready to go, your PR reviewer(s) can run CI to test the changes comprehensively before merging.

To run CI, PR reviewers can either: Add ready label to the PR or enable auto-merge.

Summary of Changes

Hello @dbyoung18, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request enhances the Intel XPU platform support by integrating the xccl distributed backend, which is available in PyTorch 2.8+. It refactors the platform abstraction to include a dist_backend attribute, enabling dynamic selection of the communication backend based on the environment and PyTorch version, and updates the distributed initialization process to utilize this selected backend.

Highlights

  • XPU Distributed Backend: Added support for the xccl distributed backend for Intel XPU platforms, leveraging PyTorch versions 2.8 and above.
  • Platform Abstraction: Introduced a dist_backend attribute to the base Platform class and its subclasses (CudaPlatformBase, XPUPlatform) to abstract the distributed communication backend (e.g., nccl, ccl, xccl).
  • Auto-detection and Configuration: Implemented logic in the XPU platform initialization to auto-detect the preferred backend (xccl for PyTorch >= 2.8 if available, otherwise ccl) and allow users to override this via the XPU_CCL_BACKEND environment variable.
  • Worker Initialization: Updated the worker initialization logic (init_worker_distributed_environment) to use the dist_backend specified by the detected/configured platform instead of hardcoding a backend like ccl for XPU.

Code Review

This PR adds support for xccl as a distributed backend for the XPU platform. The changes are well-integrated and the refactoring of XPU-specific imports improves code organization. The logic for backend detection and initialization seems robust.
