Throughput-Oriented Batching Config

Data artifactModel ServingModelsarc:ThroughputOrientedBatchingConfig

An inference serving configuration with large maximum batch sizes and longer batch accumulation windows to maximise corpus-level throughput.

Responsibility. Configures batching for maximum offline throughput.

Also known as: sentiment_batch configuration

Variant of Inference Serving Configuration abstract

When to choose. Choose for offline RAG preprocessing (bulk captioning or extraction) where images processed per second matters more than per-image latency.

Design guidance

SHOULD NOT be used where consistent low-latency interactive responses are required.
MAY serve the same model file under separate latency- and throughput-oriented configurations on one server rather than deploying separate infrastructure.
SHOULD be chosen for batch workloads (document summarization, content moderation queues, bulk translation) where overnight completion matters more than per-request latency.
SHOULD pair large batches and long (100 ms+) queue delays with packing of similar-length requests for throughput-critical workloads.

Quantitative guidance

As stated by the sources; verify before use.

Max batch size 32 or 64 images with 100-200 ms accumulation (Ch2.7).
Batch size 16, 100 ms batching timeout, single high-memory instance; every request incurs >= 100 ms queuing (Ch4.2).
Batch BERT config: max_batch_size 256, preferred [128,256], max delay 50ms; 10,000 requests in 65s = 154 req/s (~4x real-time) with average batch 180 but P50 latency 28s (600x worse) (Ch4.5).
Longer timeouts (e.g., 500 ms) let larger batches accumulate at the cost of noticeable delay for early requests (Ch4.7).
100ms delay, max batch 128, preferred [32,64,128], ordering not preserved: 90-95% GPU utilization, 4-6x throughput, P99 150-200ms; reordering improves memory access 15-20% (Ch7.1A).
Accepted trade-offs: +50-200ms queueing, higher GPU memory, batch-formation unfairness (Ch7.2).
High-throughput recipe: maximum batch 128, 100 ms maximum queue delay, preferred sizes 32/64/128 (Ref7.02).
