MLPerf™ Inference Benchmark Suite

MLPerf Inference is a benchmark suite for measuring how fast systems can run models in a variety of deployment scenarios.

Please see the MLPerf Inference benchmark paper for a detailed description of the benchmarks along with the motivation and guiding principles behind the benchmark suite. If you use any part of this benchmark (e.g., reference implementations, submissions, etc.), please cite the following:

Please see here for the MLPerf inference documentation website which includes automated commands to run MLPerf inference benchmarks using different implementations.

MLPerf Inference v4.1 (submission deadline July 26, 2024)

For submissions, please use the master branch and any commit since the 4.1 seed release although it is best to use the latest commit. v4.1 tag will be created from the master branch after the result publication.

For power submissions please use SPEC PTD 1.10 (needs special access) and any commit of the power-dev repository after the code-freeze
