 - `--ramp-up-start-rps`: The request rate at the beginning of the benchmark.
 - `--ramp-up-end-rps`: The request rate at the end of the benchmark.

-##### Load Pattern Configuration
-
-vLLM's benchmark serving script provides sophisticated load pattern simulation capabilities through three key parameters that control request generation and concurrency behavior:
-
-###### Load Pattern Control Parameters
-
- `--request-rate`: Controls the target request generation rate (requests per second). Set to `inf` for maximum throughput testing or finite values for controlled load simulation.
- `--burstiness`: Controls traffic variability using a Gamma distribution (range: > 0). Lower values create bursty traffic, higher values create uniform traffic.
- `--max-concurrency`: Limits concurrent outstanding requests. If this argument is not provided, concurrency is unlimited. Set a value to simulate backpressure.
-
-These parameters work together to create realistic load patterns with carefully chosen defaults. The `--request-rate` parameter defaults to `inf` (infinite), which sends all requests immediately for maximum throughput testing. When set to finite values, it uses either a Poisson process (default `--burstiness=1.0`) or Gamma distribution for realistic request timing. The `--burstiness` parameter only takes effect when `--request-rate` is not infinite - a value of 1.0 creates natural Poisson traffic, while lower values (0.1-0.5) create bursty patterns and higher values (2.0-5.0) create uniform spacing. The `--max-concurrency` parameter defaults to `None` (unlimited) but can be set to simulate real-world constraints where a load balancer or API gateway limits concurrent connections. When combined, these parameters allow you to simulate everything from unrestricted stress testing (`--request-rate=inf`) to production-like scenarios with realistic arrival patterns and resource constraints.
-
-The `--burstiness` parameter mathematically controls request arrival patterns using a Gamma distribution where:
-
- Shape parameter: `burstiness` value
- Coefficient of Variation (CV): $\frac{1}{\sqrt{burstiness}}$
- Traffic characteristics:
-    - `burstiness = 0.1`: Highly bursty traffic (CV ≈ 3.16) - stress testing
-    - `burstiness = 1.0`: Natural Poisson traffic (CV = 1.0) - realistic simulation  
-    - `burstiness = 5.0`: Uniform traffic (CV ≈ 0.45) - controlled load testing

-*Figure: Load pattern examples for each use case. Top row: Request arrival timelines showing cumulative requests over time. Bottom row: Inter-arrival time distributions showing traffic variability patterns. Each column represents a different use case with its specific parameter settings and resulting traffic characteristics.*
-
-Load Pattern Recommendations by Use Case:
-
-| Use Case           | Burstiness   | Request Rate    | Max Concurrency | Description                                               |
-| ---                | ---          | ---             | ---             | ---                                                       |
-| Maximum Throughput | N/A          | Infinite        | Limited         | **Most common**: Simulates load balancer/gateway limits with unlimited user demand |
-| Realistic Testing  | 1.0          | Moderate (5-20) | Infinite        | Natural Poisson traffic patterns for baseline performance |
-| Stress Testing     | 0.1-0.5      | High (20-100)   | Infinite        | Challenging burst patterns to test resilience             |
-| Latency Profiling  | 2.0-5.0      | Low (1-10)      | Infinite        | Uniform load for consistent timing analysis               |
-| Capacity Planning  | 1.0          | Variable        | Limited         | Test resource limits with realistic constraints           |
-| SLA Validation     | 1.0          | Target rate     | SLA limit       | Production-like constraints for compliance testing        |
-
-These load patterns help evaluate different aspects of your vLLM deployment, from basic performance characteristics to resilience under challenging traffic conditions.
-
-The **Maximum Throughput** pattern (`--request-rate=inf --max-concurrency=<limit>`) is the most commonly used configuration for production benchmarking. This simulates real-world deployment architectures where:
-
- Users send requests as fast as they can (infinite rate)
- A load balancer or API gateway controls the maximum concurrent connections
- The system operates at its concurrency limit, revealing true throughput capacity
- `--burstiness` has no effect since request timing is not controlled when rate is infinite
-
-This pattern helps determine optimal concurrency settings for your production load balancer configuration.
-
-To effectively configure load patterns, especially for **Capacity Planning** and **SLA Validation** use cases, you need to understand your system's resource limits. During startup, vLLM reports KV cache configuration that directly impacts your load testing parameters:
-
-```text
-GPU KV cache size: 15,728,640 tokens
-Maximum concurrency for 8,192 tokens per request: 1920
-```
-
-Where:
-
- GPU KV cache size: Total tokens that can be cached across all concurrent requests
- Maximum concurrency: Theoretical maximum concurrent requests for the given `max_model_len`
- Calculation: `max_concurrency = kv_cache_size / max_model_len`
-
-Using KV cache metrics for load pattern configuration:
-
- For Capacity Planning: Set `--max-concurrency` to 80-90% of the reported maximum to test realistic resource constraints
- For SLA Validation: Use the reported maximum as your SLA limit to ensure compliance testing matches production capacity
- For Realistic Testing: Monitor memory usage when approaching theoretical limits to understand sustainable request rates
- Request rate guidance: Use the KV cache size to estimate sustainable request rates for your specific workload and sequence lengths

-
-[`vllm/benchmarks/sweep/serve.py`](../../vllm/benchmarks/sweep/serve.py) automatically starts `vllm serve` and runs `vllm bench serve` to evaluate vLLM over multiple configurations.
-
-Follow these steps to run the script:
-
-1. Construct the base command to `vllm serve`, and pass it to the `--serve-cmd` option.
-2. Construct the base command to `vllm bench serve`, and pass it to the `--bench-cmd` option.
-3. (Optional) If you would like to vary the settings of `vllm serve`, create a new JSON file and populate it with the parameter combinations you want to test. Pass the file path to `--serve-params`.
-
-    - Example: Tuning `--max-num-seqs` and `--max-num-batched-tokens`:
-
-    ```json
-    [
-        {
-            "max_num_seqs": 32,
-            "max_num_batched_tokens": 1024
-        },
-        {
-            "max_num_seqs": 64,
-            "max_num_batched_tokens": 1024
-        },

-            "max_num_batched_tokens": 4096
-        }
-    ]
-    ```
-
-4. (Optional) If you would like to vary the settings of `vllm bench serve`, create a new JSON file and populate it with the parameter combinations you want to test. Pass the file path to `--bench-params`.
-
-    - Example: Using different input/output lengths for random dataset:
-
-    ```json
-    [
-        {
-            "random_input_len": 128,
-            "random_output_len": 32

-        {
-            "random_input_len": 256,
-            "random_output_len": 64
-        },
-        {
-            "random_input_len": 512,
-            "random_output_len": 128
-        }
-    ]
-    ```
-
-5. Determine where you want to save the results, and pass that to `--output-dir`.
-

-    If both `--serve-params` and `--bench-params` are passed, the script will iterate over the Cartesian product between them.
-    You can use `--dry-run` to preview the commands to be run.
-
-    We only start the server once for each `--serve-params`, and keep it running for multiple `--bench-params`.
-    Between each benchmark run, we call the `/reset_prefix_cache` and `/reset_mm_cache` endpoints to get a clean slate for the next run.
-    In case you are using a custom `--serve-cmd`, you can override the commands used for resetting the state by setting `--after-bench-cmd`.
-
-!!! note
-    By default, each parameter combination is run 3 times to make the results more reliable. You can adjust the number of runs by setting `--num-runs`.
-
-!!! tip
-    You can use the `--resume` option to continue the parameter sweep if one of the runs failed.

-### SLA Auto-Tuner
-
-[`vllm/benchmarks/sweep/serve_sla.py`](../../vllm/benchmarks/sweep/serve_sla.py) is a wrapper over [`vllm/benchmarks/sweep/serve.py`](../../vllm/benchmarks/sweep/serve.py) that tunes either the request rate or concurrency (choose using `--sla-variable`) in order to satisfy the SLA constraints given by `--sla-params`.
-
-For example, to ensure E2E latency within different target values for 99% of requests:
-
-```json
-[
-    {
-        "p99_e2el_ms": "<=200"
-    },
-    {
-        "p99_e2el_ms": "<=500"
-    },
-    {
-        "p99_e2el_ms": "<=1000"
-    },
-    {
-        "p99_e2el_ms": "<=2000"
-    }
-]
-```
-
-Example command:
-
-```bash
-vllm bench sweep serve_sla \
-    --serve-cmd 'vllm serve meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-chat-hf' \
-    --bench-cmd 'vllm bench serve --model meta-llama/Llama-2-7b-chat-hf --backend vllm --endpoint /v1/completions --dataset-name sharegpt --dataset-path benchmarks/ShareGPT_V3_unfiltered_cleaned_split.json' \
-    --serve-params benchmarks/serve_hparams.json \
-    --bench-params benchmarks/bench_hparams.json \
-    --sla-params benchmarks/sla_hparams.json \
-    --sla-variable max_concurrency \
-    -o benchmarks/results
-```
-
-The algorithm for adjusting the SLA variable is as follows:
-
-1. Run the benchmark with infinite QPS, and use the corresponding metrics to determine the initial value of the variable.
-    - For example, the initial request rate is set to the concurrency under infinite QPS.
-2. If the SLA is still satisfied, keep doubling the value until the SLA is no longer satisfied. This gives a relatively narrow window that contains the point where the SLA is barely satisfied.
-3. Apply binary search over the window to find the maximum value that still satisfies the SLA.
-
-!!! important
-    SLA tuning is applied over each combination of `--serve-params`, `--bench-params`, and `--sla-params`.
-
-    For a given combination of `--serve-params` and `--bench-params`, we share the benchmark results across `--sla-params` to avoid rerunning benchmarks with the same SLA variable value.
-
-### Visualizer
-
-[`vllm/benchmarks/sweep/plot.py`](../../vllm/benchmarks/sweep/plot.py) can be used to plot performance curves from parameter sweep results.
-
-Example command:
-
-```bash
-vllm bench sweep plot benchmarks/results/<timestamp> \
-    --var-x max_concurrency \
-    --row-by random_input_len \
-    --col-by random_output_len \
-    --curve-by api_server_count,max_num_batched_tokens \
-    --filter-by 'max_concurrency<=1024'
-```
-
-!!! tip
-    You can use `--dry-run` to preview the figures to be plotted.
