# Benchmarks
This directory contains benchmarking scripts and tools for performance evaluation of Dynamo deployments. The benchmarking framework is a wrapper around aiperf that makes it easy to benchmark DynamoGraphDeployments or other deployments with exposed endpoints.
## Quick Start
### Benchmark a Dynamo Deployment
First, deploy your DynamoGraphDeployment using the [deployment documentation](../docs/pages/kubernetes/), then:
```bash
# Port-forward your deployment to http://localhost:8000
kubectl port-forward -n <namespace> svc/<frontend-service-name> 8000:8000 > /dev/null 2>&1 &
# Run benchmark
python3 -m benchmarks.utils.benchmark \
--benchmark-name my-benchmark \
--endpoint-url http://localhost:8000 \
--model "<your-model>"
# Generate plots
python3 -m benchmarks.utils.plot --data-dir ./benchmarks/results
# Or plot only specific benchmark experiments
python3 -m benchmarks.utils.plot --data-dir ./benchmarks/results --benchmark-name my-benchmark
```
## Features
Benchmark any HTTP endpoints! The benchmarking framework supports:
**Flexible Configuration:**
- User-defined benchmark names using `--benchmark-name` flag
- Support for single endpoint benchmarking with `--endpoint-url` flag
- Customizable concurrency levels (configurable via CONCURRENCIES env var), sequence lengths, and models
- Automated performance plot generation with custom benchmark names
**Supported Backends:**
- DynamoGraphDeployments with port-forwarded endpoints
- External HTTP endpoints (for comparison with non-Dynamo backends or platforms)
## Installation
This is already included as part of the Dynamo container images. To install locally or standalone:
```bash
pip install -e .
```
## Data Generation Tools
This directory also includes lightweight tools for:
- Analyzing prefix-structured data (`datagen analyze`)
- Synthesizing structured data customizable for testing purposes (`datagen synthesize`)
Detailed information is provided in the `prefix_data_generator` directory.
## Comprehensive Guide
For detailed documentation, configuration options, and advanced usage, see the [complete benchmarking guide](../docs/pages/benchmarks/benchmarking.md).
