# 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`)

```bash
./batched-bench MODEL_PATH [N_KV_MAX] [IS_PP_SHARED] [NGL]

# LLaMA 7B, F16, N_KV_MAX = 16384 (8GB), prompt not shared
./batched-bench ./models/llama-7b/ggml-model-f16.gguf 16384 0 99

# LLaMA 7B, Q8_0, N_KV_MAX = 16384 (8GB), prompt is shared
./batched-bench ./models/llama-7b/ggml-model-q8_0.gguf 16384 1 99
```

## 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)
