Suitable tasks
Evaluate an inference server under a defined workload.
Limits and checks
Advertised throughput does not represent your model, hardware, input length and concurrency.
A repeatable trial
Submit short and long fictional batches at equal concurrency. Measure errors, complete latency, memory and accepted outputs, then test interruption.
How to decide
Choose the server when target load stays stable and failures are observable.
Frequently asked questions
Is a benchmark enough for sizing?
Reproduce a representative workload using the intended model, inputs and hardware.
Official documentation and scope
Functions are described from documentation. Proposed trials are editorial advice, not executed benchmarks. Check prices, quotas, access and conditions before choosing.
Consultation covers identification and described functions; performance and all contractual conditions were not tested.
