Performance Analysis
Performance Analysis refers to the systematic evaluation of system, model, or application efficiency, throughput, latency, and resource utilization. In the context of Large Language Models (LLMs), it involves assessing inference speed, memory footprint, and output quality under specific hardware constraints.
Key Concepts
- Inference Latency: Time taken to generate tokens.
- Throughput: Tokens generated per second.
- Resource Utilization: GPU VRAM usage, CPU load, and power consumption.
- Quantization Impact: Performance trade-offs when reducing model precision (e.g., FP16 vs. INT8).
- Cost Efficiency: Balancing computational resources against output quality and latency.
