Large Language Model Throughput Testing Framework

This framework is designed to test the throughput performance of Large Language Models (LLMs) across different deployment methods: offline inference (using PaddlePaddle and PyTorch) and online inference (via API). It specifically focuses on evaluating the model's ability to handle batch queries, measuring throughput in tokens per second under various configurations and batch sizes.

Features

  • Diverse Deployment Method Support: Tests LLMs deployed via online API, and offline inference with PaddlePaddle and PyTorch.
  • Batch Query Throughput Calculation: Accurately measures throughput (tokens/s) for concurrent queries, providing insights into the model's performance under load.
  • Detailed Time Logging: Records the total time for each batch processing operation.

How It Works

This framework operates by sending batched requests to specified endpoints (API or local inference scripts) and collecting performance data on how the model generates responses for multiple queries simultaneously.

  1. Input Queries: You provide a set of questions as test input, typically from a .parquet or text file.
  2. Batch Processing: The framework groups these questions into batches of a specified rollout_input_batch_size.
  3. Generate Responses: For each query within a batch, the framework requests the model to generate rollout_n responses.
  4. Time Measurement: The total time from sending a batch of questions to receiving all corresponding responses is recorded.
  5. Token Statistics: The total number of tokens generated across all responses in a batch is summed up.
  6. Throughput Calculation: Throughput (tokens/s) is calculated by dividing the total tokens generated by the total time taken for the batch to complete.

Usage

This section details how to run throughput tests for each deployment method using the provided shell scripts.

Data Preparation

To run the tests, you'll first need to download and extract the rl_data.tar.gz archive, which contains the GSM8K dataset in a suitable format for testing.

cd llm/benchmark/rl
wget https://paddle-qa.bj.bcebos.com/paddlenlp/rl_data.tar.gz     
tar -zxvf rl_data.tar.gz 

Extract the contents of the archive. This will create a data folder containing the GSM8K dataset.

Online API Inference

This script tests the throughput of a remote LLM API.
