Topic: "Perspectives on LLM Inference Benchmarking"

Open-source large language models are increasingly used across diverse applications and deployed on HPC systems to leverage acceleration hardware. For both users and the HPC community, inference latency is a key performance factor affecting responsiveness and efficiency. However, comparing performance across different models, frameworks, and configurations remains challenging.
In this session, we present BALI [1] -- A Benchmark for accelerated Language Model Inference. It allows users to run LLMs with a fixed configuration on different Inference frameworks, comparing their text generation speed under user defined/application dependent settings. We aim for a discussion with the HPC and LLM Community to identify which perspectives, metrics or measurements on LLM inference are needed mostly and in the future to assess their efficiency.
