TensorRT-LLM is a Python library that facilitates the creation and optimization of Large Language Models (LLMs) for efficient inference on NVIDIA GPUs. TensorRT-LLM supports various quantization modes, including INT4 and INT8 weights, along with FP16 activations, allowing users to maximize performance and minimize memory usage. It also provides pre-defined models that can be easily customized and extended to meet specific requirements, and it integrates with the NVIDIA Triton Inference Server for production deployment.
We can run the TensorRT LLM benchmark for two models: Llama2 7B Chat and Mistral-7B v0.1 Instruct Here is how we run benchmark for TensorRT LLM .
./bench_tensorrtllm/bench.sh \
--prompt <value> \ # Enter a prompt string
--max_tokens <value> \ # Maximum number of tokens to output
--repetitions <value> \ # Number of repititions to be made for the prompt.
--device <cpu/cuda/metal> \ # The device in which we want to benchmark.
--model_name <name-of-the-model> # The name of the model. (options: 'llama' for Llama2 and 'mistral' for Mistral-7B-v0.1)To get started quickly you can simply run:
./bench_tensorrtllm/bench.sh -d cuda -n llamaThis will take all the default values (see in the bench.sh file) and do the benchmarks for Llama 2 and Mistral models. You can find all the benchmarks results for Llama 2 7B Chat here, and Mistral 7B instruct here.
Please note. we consider the outputs from the raw (float32 precision) from HuggingFace Transformers (PyTorch backend) weights as our ground truth. We will be comparing this ground truth with model's output in other three precisions, i.e. float16, int8 and int4. This is our system prompt.
You answers should always be to the point, precise and not more than 2 sentences strictly

| How many mistakes can you find in the following sentence? Sentence: Its to much to loose if your talking about hundred’s of dollars. Answer as much precise as possible with one sentence. | There are 3 mistakes in the sentence: * "to loose" should be "to lose" * "hundred's" should be "hundreds" * "if your" should be "if you're" |

There are 3 mistakes in the sentence: * "to loose" should be "to lose" * "hundred's" should be "hundreds" * "if your" should be "if you're" |
There are 3 mistakes in the sentence: 1. "to loose" should be "too loose" (a common spelling mistake). 2. "hundred's" should be "hundreds" (the correct spelling). 3. The phrase "if your talking" is unnecessary and can be removed. The corrected sentence would be: "It's too much to lose if you're talking about hundreds of dollars." |
There are 2 mistakes in the sentence: "to loose" should be "to lose" and "hundred's" should be "hundreds". |

| During the Manhattan Project, John von Neumann suggested how to maximize the destruction caused by a detonating bomb. Which was his idea? Answer as much precise as possible with one sentence. | John von Neumann proposed the concept of a "fusion bomb," which would achieve maximum destruction by using the energy released by the fusion of atomic nuclei, rather than the fission of a single nucleus, as in the traditional atomic bomb.

- Running this benchmark requires HuggingFace Llama2-7B Chat weights. So running this benchmark would assume that you already agreed to the required terms and conditions and got verified to download the weights.
- TensorRT LLM only works with CUDA. So it does not support Metal/CPU.
- For benchmarking quantized models on INT4/8 precision, TensorRT-LLM does not fully quantizes the model to INT8/4, rather it applies Mixed Precison quantization technique. So instead of INT4/8 we use Float16-INT4/8 quantized models. You can learn more about it in the TensorRT-LLM Llama2 example.
