 ## vLLM 
 vLLM is a serving engine for LLM's. The following workloads deploys a VLLM server with an LLM using Intel Gaudi. Refer to [Intel Gaudi vLLM fork](https://github.com/HabanaAI/vllm-fork.git) for more details.
 
+Use the gaudi-validation project
+```
+$ oc project gaudi-validation

 meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B model is used in this deployment and the hugging face token is used to access such gated models.
 * For the PV setup with NFS, refer to [documentation](https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.17/storage/persistent_storage/persistent-storage-nfs.html).
+* The vLLM pod needs to access the host's shared memory for tensor parallel inference, which is mounted as a volume.
