Motivation

This PR adds support for returning log probabilities in the bench_offline_throughput test script. Currently, the benchmark script does not provide an option to retrieve logprobs during throughput testing, which limits its ability to test and benchmark the logprob functionality. This enhancement enables users to test and validate logprob generation performance in offline throughput scenarios.

Modifications

  1. Added new command-line arguments to BenchArgs:

    • --return-logprob: A boolean flag to enable logprob return
    • --logprob-start-len: An integer parameter to control the starting position for logprob calculation
      • Default value is -1 (only return logprobs for output tokens)
      • Set to 0 to return logprobs for all tokens including input
  2. Updated BenchArgs dataclass:

    • Added return_logprob field (default: False)
    • Added logprob_start_len field (default: -1)
  3. Modified throughput_test_once function:

    • Added return_logprob and logprob_start_len parameters
    • Updated backend.generate() calls to pass these parameters
  4. Updated throughput_test function:

    • Passed the new logprob parameters to both warmup and actual benchmark runs

Summary of Changes

Hello @aftersnow, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request enhances the bench_offline_throughput test script by integrating support for log probability generation. It introduces new command-line arguments and updates the core benchmarking functions to allow users to test and validate the performance of logprob functionality in offline throughput scenarios, which was previously not possible. This change enables a more comprehensive evaluation of model capabilities under various conditions.

Highlights

  • New CLI Arguments: Introduced --return-logprob (boolean flag) and --logprob-start-len (integer, default -1) to the bench_offline_throughput script for controlling log probability generation. The logprob_start_len parameter allows specifying whether to return logprobs for only output tokens (-1) or all tokens including input (0).
  • BenchArgs Update: The BenchArgs dataclass now includes return_logprob (default False) and logprob_start_len (default -1) to store the new command-line arguments, ensuring they are properly managed within the benchmark configuration.
  • Logprob Parameter Propagation: The throughput_test_once function was updated to accept return_logprob and logprob_start_len as parameters and pass them directly to the backend.generate() calls, enabling the backend to handle log probability requests.
  • Benchmark Integration: The throughput_test function now passes the newly introduced logprob parameters to both the warmup and actual benchmark runs of throughput_test_once, ensuring that logprob functionality can be thoroughly tested and benchmarked.

Code Review

This pull request adds support for returning log probabilities in the bench_offline_throughput.py script. The changes are well-structured, adding new arguments to BenchArgs and propagating them correctly to the backend. My feedback includes a minor suggestion to improve the clarity of a command-line argument's help message.
