What metrics should you measure for LLM inference performance?

The prerequisite for sizing and TCO estimation is benchmarking the performance of each deployment unit, e.g., an inference server. The goal of this step is to measure the throughput a system can produce under load, and at what latency. These throughput and latency metrics, together with quality of service requirements (e.g., max latency) and expected peak demand (e.g., max concurrent users or requests per second), will help estimate the required hardware, such as sizing the deployment. In turn, sizing information is a prerequisite for estimating the total cost of ownership (TCO) of the given s

How do you calculate required server capacity for peak LLM request volumes?

To calculate the required infrastructure for a given LLM application, we need to identify the following constraints:  Latency type and maximum value. This typically depends on the nature of the applications. For example, for chat applications with live interactive responses, keep the average time to first token at or below 250 ms to ensure responsiveness. Planned peak requests/s. Account for how many concurrent requests the system is expected to serve. Note that this isn’t the same as the number of concurrent users, because not all will have an active request at once.  Using this information,

What formulas determine cost per token and yearly depreciation for LLM inference?

To estimate the amount of hardware and software licenses required and the associated cost, follow these steps and a hypothetical example First, collect and identify the cost information corresponding to both hardware and software. Next, calculate the total cost following the steps: Number of servers is calculated as the number of instances times the GPUs per instance, divided by the number of GPUs per server. Yearly server cost is calculated as the initial server cost divided by the depreciation period (in years), adding the yearly software licensing and hosting costs per server. Total cost is
