This directory used to contain vLLM's benchmark scripts and utilities for performance testing and evaluation.

• Serving benchmarks: Scripts for testing online inference performance (latency, throughput)
• Throughput benchmarks: Scripts for testing offline batch inference performance
• Specialized benchmarks: Tools for testing specific features like structured output, prefix caching, long document QA, request prioritization, and multi-modal inference
• Dataset utilities: Framework for loading and sampling from various benchmark datasets (ShareGPT, HuggingFace datasets, synthetic data, etc.)

For detailed usage instructions, examples, and dataset information, see the Benchmark CLI documentation.
