The rapid evolution of Embodied AI has enabled Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models to excel in multimodal perception and task execution. However, applying Reinforcement Learning (RL) to these massive models in large-scale distributed environments faces severe systemic bottlenecks, primarily due to the resource conflict between high-fidelity physical simulation and the intensive VRAM/bandwidth demands of deep learning. This conflict often leaves overall throughput constrained by execution-phase inefficiencies. To address these challenges, we propose D-VLA, a high-concurrency, low-latency distributed RL framework for large-scale embodied foundation models. D-VLA introduces "Plane Decoupling," physically isolating high-frequency training data from low-frequency weight control to eliminate interference between simulation and optimization. We further design a four-thread asynchronous "Swimlane" pipeline, enabling full parallel overlap of sampling, inference, gradient computation, and parameter distribution. Additionally, a dual-pool VRAM management model and topology-aware replication resolve memory fragmentation and optimize communication efficiency. Experiments on benchmarks like LIBERO show that D-VLA significantly outperforms mainstream RL frameworks in throughput and sampling efficiency for billion-parameter VLA models. In trillion-parameter scalability tests, our framework maintains exceptional stability and linear speedup, providing a robust system for high-performance general-purpose embodied agents.
