:description: Learn how to estimate performance of a model using Asynchronous Inference Request (C++) API in throughput mode.
This sample demonstrates how to estimate performance of a model using Asynchronous Inference Request API in throughput mode. Unlike :doc:`demos <omz_demos>` this sample doesn't have other configurable command line arguments. Feel free to modify sample's source code to try out different options.
The reported results may deviate from what :doc:`benchmark_app <openvino_inference_engine_samples_benchmark_app_README>` reports. One example is model input precision for computer vision tasks. benchmark_app sets ``uint8``, while the sample uses default model precision which is usually ``float32``.
The following C++ API is used in the application:

How It Works
####################
The sample compiles a model for a given device, randomly generates input data, performs asynchronous inference multiple times for a given number of seconds. Then processes and reports performance results.
You can see the explicit description of
each sample step at :doc:`Integration Steps <openvino_docs_OV_UG_Integrate_OV_with_your_application>` section of "Integrate OpenVINO™ Runtime with Your Application" guide.
Building
####################
To build the sample, please use instructions available at :doc:`Build the Sample Applications <openvino_docs_OV_UG_Samples_Overview>` section in OpenVINO™ Toolkit Samples guide.
Running
####################
.. code-block:: sh
throughput_benchmark <path_to_model>
To run the sample, you need to specify a model:
- You can use :doc:`public <omz_models_group_public>` or :doc:`Intel's <omz_models_group_intel>` pre-trained models from the Open Model Zoo. The models can be downloaded using the :doc:`Model Downloader <omz_tools_downloader>`.
.. note::
Before running the sample with a trained model, make sure the model is converted to the intermediate representation (IR) format (\*.xml + \*.bin) using the :doc:`model conversion API <openvino_docs_MO_DG_Deep_Learning_Model_Optimizer_DevGuide>`.
The sample accepts models in ONNX format (.onnx) that do not require preprocessing.
Example
++++++++++++++++++++
1. Install the ``openvino-dev`` Python package to use Open Model Zoo Tools:
.. code-block:: sh
python -m pip install openvino-dev[caffe]
2. Download a pre-trained model using:
.. code-block:: sh
omz_downloader --name googlenet-v1
3. If a model is not in the IR or ONNX format, it must be converted. You can do this using the model converter:
.. code-block:: sh
omz_converter --name googlenet-v1
4. Perform benchmarking using the ``googlenet-v1`` model on a ``CPU``:
.. code-block:: sh
throughput_benchmark googlenet-v1.xml
