Description

Hi DeepSeek Team, thanks for the great work on DeepSeek-V3 and the detailed deployment profile.

I have a clarification question regarding PD (Prefill–Decode) separation during deployment.
When you mention the decoding batch size, does this refer to:
1. The number of active sequences being decoded concurrently in the system (i.e., batch size at the sequence/request level), or
2. The number of tokens processed by experts in the decoding stage (i.e., token-level batching inside the MoE/expert execution)?

Understanding this distinction would be very helpful for correctly interpreting the performance analysis and for reproducing similar deployment settings.
