vLLM contains two sets of benchmarks:
+ :ref:`Performance benchmarks <performance_benchmarks>`
+ :ref:`Nightly benchmarks <nightly_benchmarks>`
.. _performance_benchmarks:
Performance Benchmarks
----------------------
The performance benchmarks are used for development to confirm whether new changes improve performance under various workloads. They are triggered on every commit with both the ``perf-benchmarks`` and ``ready`` labels, and when a PR is merged into vLLM.
The latest performance results are hosted on the public `vLLM Performance Dashboard <https://perf.vllm.ai>`_.
More information on the performance benchmarks and their parameters can be found `here <https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/blob/main/.buildkite/nightly-benchmarks/performance-benchmarks-descriptions.md>`__.
.. _nightly_benchmarks:
Nightly Benchmarks
------------------
These compare vLLM's performance against alternatives (``tgi``, ``trt-llm``, and ``lmdeploy``) when there are major updates of vLLM (e.g., bumping up to a new version). They are primarily intended for consumers to evaluate when to choose vLLM over other options and are triggered on every commit with both the ``perf-benchmarks`` and ``nightly-benchmarks`` labels.
The latest nightly benchmark results are shared in major release blog posts such as `vLLM v0.6.0 <https://blog.vllm.ai/2024/09/05/perf-update.html>`_.
More information on the nightly benchmarks and their parameters can be found `here <https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/blob/main/.buildkite/nightly-benchmarks/nightly-descriptions.md>`__.
