Universal vLLM Attention Benchmark
Benchmark any attention backend with the extended grammar.
Supports standard attention (Flash/Triton/FlashInfer) and MLA backends.
Examples:
# Standard attention
python benchmark.py --backends flash flashinfer --batch-specs "q2k" "8q1s1k"
# MLA backends
python benchmark.py --backends cutlass_mla flashinfer_mla --batch-specs "64q1s1k"
# Parameter sweep (CLI)
python benchmark.py --backend cutlass_mla \
--batch-specs "64q1s1k" \
--sweep-param num_kv_splits \
--sweep-values 1 4 8 16
# Parameter sweep (YAML config - recommended)
python benchmark.py --config configs/cutlass_numsplits.yaml
