NetX-lab/Frontier

NetX-lab/Frontier is an MIT-licensed open-source discrete-event simulator for modern LLM serving (Frontier) that helps researchers and engineers understand serving-system designs and tradeoffs without the time and financial cost of repeatedly deploying on GPU clusters; the simulator models vLLM-style serving behavior in detail - CUDA Graph, speculative decoding / MTP, prefix caching, quantization,

Why it matters

Useful for LLM-serving researchers who need a discrete-event simulator that captures CUDA Graph, speculative decoding / MTP, prefix caching, quantization, chunked prefill, and hierarchical caching as runtime behavior rather than simple speedup factors; for teams evaluating serving-architecture choices (co-located vs PDD vs AFD) who want to compare configurations under SLA constraints and explore l
