# Performance Optimization Guide
|
||
|
||
Maximize llama.cpp inference speed and efficiency.
|
||
|
||
## CPU Optimization
|
||
|
||
### Thread tuning
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Set threads (default: physical cores)
|
||
./llama-cli -m model.gguf -t 8
|
||
|
||
# For AMD Ryzen 9 7950X (16 cores, 32 threads)
|
||
-t 16 # Best: physical cores
|
||
|
||
# Avoid hyperthreading (slower for matrix ops)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### BLAS acceleration
|
||
```bash
|
||
# OpenBLAS (faster matrix ops)
|
||
make LLAMA_OPENBLAS=1
|
||
|
||
# BLAS gives 2-3× speedup
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## GPU Offloading
|
||
|
||
### Layer offloading
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Offload 35 layers to GPU (hybrid mode)
|
||
./llama-cli -m model.gguf -ngl 35
|
||
|
||
# Offload all layers
|
||
./llama-cli -m model.gguf -ngl 999
|
||
|
||
# Find optimal value:
|
||
# Start with -ngl 999
|
||
# If OOM, reduce by 5 until fits
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Memory usage
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Check VRAM usage
|
||
nvidia-smi dmon
|
||
|
||
# Reduce context if needed
|
||
./llama-cli -m model.gguf -c 2048 # 2K context instead of 4K
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Batch Processing
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Increase batch size for throughput
|
||
./llama-cli -m model.gguf -b 512 # Default: 512
|
||
|
||
# Physical batch (GPU)
|
||
--ubatch 128 # Process 128 tokens at once
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Context Management
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Default context (512 tokens)
|
||
-c 512
|
||
|
||
# Longer context (slower, more memory)
|
||
-c 4096
|
||
|
||
# Very long context (if model supports)
|
||
-c 32768
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
