When to use it

•When you need to optimize vLLM performance on Ascend hardware
•When integrating open-source plugins for custom AI applications
•When developing AI-powered products requiring community-driven hardware support

Ready-to-paste prompt

To build and run a custom vLLM plugin, use `mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make`, then integrate the compiled plugin into your Ascend project

Heads up: Ensure you have a compatible C++ compiler and necessary development libraries installed on your system, as the vllm-ascend project requires compiling C++ code and may have specific version requirements
