llama.cpp/example/batched-bench

Benchmark the batched decoding performance of llama.cpp

Usage

There are 2 modes of operation:

prompt not shared - each batch has a separate prompt of size PP (i.e. N_KV = B*(PP + TG))
prompt is shared - there is a common prompt of size PP used by all batches (i.e. N_KV = PP + B*TG)

./llama-batched-bench -m model.gguf -c 2048 -b 2048 -ub 512 -npp 128,256,512 -ntg 128,256 -npl 1,2,4,8,16,32 [-pps]

# LLaMA 7B, F16, N_KV_MAX = 16384 (8GB), prompt not shared
./llama-batched-bench -m ./models/llama-7b/ggml-model-f16.gguf -c 16384 -b 2048 -ub 512 -ngl 99

# LLaMA 7B, Q8_0, N_KV_MAX = 16384 (8GB), prompt is shared
./llama-batched-bench -m ./models/llama-7b/ggml-model-q8_0.gguf -c 16384 -b 2048 -ub 512 -ngl 99 -pps

# custom set of batches
./llama-batched-bench -m ./models/llama-7b/ggml-model-q8_0.gguf -c 2048 -b 512 -ub 512 -ngl 999 -npp 128,256,512 -ntg 128,256 -npl 1,2,4,8,16,32

Sample results

PP - prompt tokens per batch
TG - generated tokens per batch
B - number of batches
N_KV - required KV cache size
T_PP - prompt processing time (i.e. time to first token)
S_PP - prompt processing speed ((B*PP)/T_PP or PP/T_PP)
T_TG - time to generate all batches
S_TG - text generation speed ((B*TG)/T_TG)
T - total time
S - total speed (i.e. all tokens / total time)
