Balanced Batching Config

Data artifactModel ServingModelsarc:BalancedBatchingConfig

An inference serving configuration with moderate batch-size ranges, millisecond-scale batching timeouts and multiple instances per GPU, allowing opportunistic batching without pathological latency at low traffic.

Responsibility. Balances latency and throughput for mixed workloads.

Also known as: Mixed-workload batching configuration

Variant of Inference Serving Configuration abstract

When to choose. Choose for mixed or semi-interactive workloads, such as customer service chatbots where users tolerate 300-500 ms latency and traffic allows some batching.

Quantitative guidance

As stated by the sources; verify before use.

Batch size 1-8, 5 ms dynamic batching timeout, 2 inference instances per GPU (Ch4.2).
10ms max queue delay, preferred sizes [8,16,32], 2 priority levels balances interactive apps requiring <100ms response (Ch7.1A).
Balanced/mixed-workload recipe: maximum batch 32, 10 ms maximum queue delay, 2 priority levels with REJECT timeout action (Ref7.02).
