This page presents benchmark results for
`Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit <https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/tools/openvino-toolkit.html>`__
and :doc:`OpenVINO Model Server <../ovms_what_is_openvino_model_server>`, for a representative
selection of public neural networks and Intel® devices. The results may help you decide which
hardware to use in your applications or plan AI workload for the hardware you have already
implemented in your solutions. Click the buttons below to see the chosen benchmark data.

Please visit the tabs below for more information on key performance indicators and workload parameters.
.. tab-set::
.. tab-item:: Throughput
:sync: throughput
Measures the number of inferences delivered within a latency threshold
(for example, number of Frames Per Second - FPS). When deploying a system with
deep learning inference, select the throughput that delivers the best trade-off
between latency and power for the price and performance that meets your requirements.
.. tab-item:: Value
:sync: value
While throughput is important, what is more critical in edge AI deployments is
the performance efficiency or performance-per-cost. Application performance in
throughput per dollar of system cost is the best measure of value. The value KPI is
calculated as “Throughput measured as inferences per second / price of inference engine”.
This means for a 2 socket system 2x the price of a CPU is used. Prices are as per
date of benchmarking and sources can be found as links in the Hardware Platforms (PDF)
description below.
.. tab-item:: Efficiency
:sync: efficiency
System power is a key consideration from the edge to the data center. When selecting
deep learning solutions, power efficiency (throughput/watt) is a critical factor to
consider. Intel designs provide excellent power efficiency for running deep learning
workloads. The efficiency KPI is calculated as “Throughput measured as inferences per
second / TDP of inference engine”. This means for a 2 socket system 2x the power
dissipation (TDP) of a CPU is used. TDP-values are as per date of benchmarking and sources
can be found as links in the Hardware Platforms (PDF) description below.
.. tab-item:: Latency
:sync: latency
This measures the synchronous execution of inference requests and is reported in
milliseconds. Each inference request (for example: preprocess, infer, postprocess) is
allowed to complete before the next is started. This performance metric is relevant in
usage scenarios where a single image input needs to be acted upon as soon as possible. An
example would be the healthcare sector where medical personnel only request analysis of a
single ultra sound scanning image or in real-time or near real-time applications for
example an industrial robot's response to actions in its environment or obstacle avoidance
for autonomous vehicles.
.. tab-item:: Workload Parameters
:sync: workloadparameters
The workload parameters affect the performance results of the different models we use for
benchmarking. Image processing models have different image size definitions and the
Natural Language Processing models have different max token list lengths. All these can
be found in detail in the :doc:`FAQ section <performance-benchmarks/performance-benchmarks-faq>`.
All models are executed using a batch size of 1. Below are the parameters for the GenAI
models we display.
* Input tokens: 1024,
* Output tokens: 128,
* number of beams: 1
For text to image:
* iteration steps: 20,
* image size (HxW): 256 x 256,
* input token length: 1024 (the tokens for GenAI models are in English).

The OpenVINO benchmark setup includes a single system with OpenVINO™, as well as the benchmark
application installed. It measures the time spent on actual inference (excluding any pre or post
processing) and then reports on the inferences per second (or Frames Per Second).
OpenVINO™ Model Server (OVMS) employs the Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit runtime
libraries and exposes a set of models via a convenient inference API over gRPC or HTTP/REST.
Its benchmark results are measured with the configuration of multiple-clients-single-server,
using two hardware platforms connected by ethernet. Network bandwidth depends on both, platforms
and models under investigation. It is set not to be a bottleneck for workload intensity. The
connection is dedicated only to measuring performance.
.. dropdown:: See more details about OVMS benchmark setup
The benchmark setup for OVMS consists of four main parts:

:alt: OVMS Benchmark Setup Diagram
* **OpenVINO™ Model Server** is launched as a docker container on the server platform and it
listens to (and answers) requests from clients. OpenVINO™ Model Server is run on the same
system as the OpenVINO™ toolkit benchmark application in corresponding benchmarking. Models
served by OpenVINO™ Model Server are located in a local file system mounted into the docker
container. The OpenVINO™ Model Server instance communicates with other components via ports
over a dedicated docker network.
* **Clients** are run in separated physical machine referred to as client platform. Clients
are implemented in Python3 programming language based on TensorFlow* API and they work as
parallel processes. Each client waits for a response from OpenVINO™ Model Server before it
will send a new next request. The role played by the clients is also verification of
responses.
* **Load balancer** works on the client platform in a docker container. HAProxy is used for
this purpose. Its main role is counting of requests forwarded from clients to OpenVINO™
Model Server, estimating its latency, and sharing this information by Prometheus service.
The reason of locating the load balancer on the client site is to simulate real life
scenario that includes impact of physical network on reported metrics.
* **Execution Controller** is launched on the client platform. It is responsible for
synchronization of the whole measurement process, downloading metrics from the load
balancer, and presenting the final report of the execution.

<h2>Test performance yourself</h2>
You can also test performance for your system yourself, following the guide on
:doc:`getting performance numbers <performance-benchmarks/getting-performance-numbers>`.
Performance of a particular application can also be evaluated virtually using
`Intel® DevCloud for the Edge <https://devcloud.intel.com/edge/>`__.
It is a remote development environment with access to Intel® hardware and the latest versions
of the Intel® Distribution of the OpenVINO™ Toolkit. To learn more about it, visit
