Llama.cpp

Llama.cpp is a port of Facebook's LLaMA model in C/C++ developed by Georgi Gerganov. Llama.cpp allows the inference of LLaMA and other supported models in C/C++. For CPU inference Llama.cpp supports AVX2/AVX-512, ARM NEON, and other modern ISAs along with features like OpenBLAS usage.

To run this test with the Phoronix Test Suite, the basic command is: phoronix-test-suite benchmark llama-cpp.

Performance Metrics

Analyze Test Configuration:

Llama.cpp b3067

Model: Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct-Q8_0.gguf

OpenBenchmarking.org metrics for this test profile configuration based on 81 public results since 2 June 2024 with the latest data as of 5 July 2024.

Below is an overview of the generalized performance for components where there is sufficient statistically significant data based upon user-uploaded results. It is important to keep in mind particularly in the Linux/open-source space there can be vastly different OS configurations, with this overview intended to offer just general guidance as to the performance expectations.
