+## Manual validations
+
+### E2E Performance Validation
+
+Before each release, we perform end-to-end performance validation to ensure no regressions are introduced. This validation uses the [vllm-benchmark workflow](https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch-integration-testing/actions/workflows/vllm-benchmark.yml) on PyTorch CI.
+
+**Current Coverage:**
+* Models: Llama3, Llama4, and Mixtral
+* Hardware: NVIDIA H100 and AMD MI300x
+* *Note: Coverage may change based on new model releases and hardware availability*
+
+**Performance Validation Process:**
+
+**Step 1: Get Access**
+Request write access to the [pytorch/pytorch-integration-testing](https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch-integration-testing) repository to run the benchmark workflow.
+
+**Step 2: Review Benchmark Setup**
+Familiarize yourself with the benchmark configurations:
+* [CUDA setup](https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch-integration-testing/tree/main/vllm-benchmarks/benchmarks/cuda)
+* [ROCm setup](https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch-integration-testing/tree/main/vllm-benchmarks/benchmarks/rocm)
+
+**Step 3: Run the Benchmark**
+Navigate to the [vllm-benchmark workflow](https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch-integration-testing/actions/workflows/vllm-benchmark.yml) and configure:
+* **vLLM branch**: Set to the release branch (e.g., `releases/v0.9.2`)
+* **vLLM commit**: Set to the RC commit hash
+
+**Step 4: Review Results**
+Once the workflow completes, benchmark results will be available on the [vLLM benchmark dashboard](https://hud.pytorch.org/benchmark/llms?repoName=vllm-project%2Fvllm) under the corresponding branch and commit.
+
+**Step 5: Performance Comparison**
+Compare the current results against the previous release to verify no performance regressions have occurred. Here is an
+example of [v0.9.1 vs v0.9.2](https://hud.pytorch.org/benchmark/llms?startTime=Thu%2C%2017%20Apr%202025%2021%3A43%3A50%20GMT&stopTime=Wed%2C%2016%20Jul%202025%2021%3A43%3A50%20GMT&granularity=week&lBranch=releases/v0.9.1&lCommit=b6553be1bc75f046b00046a4ad7576364d03c835&rBranch=releases/v0.9.2&rCommit=a5dd03c1ebc5e4f56f3c9d3dc0436e9c582c978f&repoName=vllm-project%2Fvllm&benchmarkName=&modelName=All%20Models&backendName=All%20Backends&modeName=All%20Modes&dtypeName=All%20DType&deviceName=All%20Devices&archName=All%20Platforms).

+# Automated vLLM Server Parameter Tuning
+
+This script automates the process of finding the optimal server parameter combination (`max-num-seqs` and `max-num-batched-tokens`) to maximize throughput for a vLLM server. It also supports additional constraints such as E2E latency and prefix cache hit rate.
+

+- [Output](#output)
+- [How It Works](#how-it-works)
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Before running the script, please ensure the following steps are completed:
+
+1. **Clone vLLM & Set Up Branch**: Clone the vLLM repository and check out to your desired branch.
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm.git
+cd vllm
+# git checkout <your-branch>
+```
+
+1. **Install Environment**: Install or update the correct running environment. For TPU usage, activate your `conda` environment and install the corresponding `torch` and `torch_xla` versions.
+
+2. **Model Configuration**: If you are using a customized model, ensure its configuration files are correctly placed and accessible.
+
+## Configuration
+
+You must set the following variables at the top of the script before execution.
+
+| Variable | Description | Example Value |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `BASE` | **Required.** The absolute path to the parent directory of your vLLM repository directory. | `"$HOME"` |
+| `MODEL` | **Required.** The Hugging Face model identifier to be served by vllm. | `"meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct"` |
+| `SYSTEM`| **Required.** The hardware you are running on. Choices: `TPU` or `GPU`. (For other systems, it might not support saving profiles) | `"TPU"` |
+| `TP` | **Required.** The tensor-parallelism size. | `1` |
+| `DOWNLOAD_DIR` | **Required.** Directory to download and load model weights from. | `""` (default download path) |
+| `INPUT_LEN` | **Required.** Request input length. | `4000` |
+| `OUTPUT_LEN` | **Required.** Request output length. | `16` |
+| `MIN_CACHE_HIT_PCT` | Prefix cache hit rate in percentage (0-100). Set to `0` to disable. | `60` |
+| `MAX_LATENCY_ALLOWED_MS` | The maximum allowed P99 end-to-end latency in milliseconds. Set to a very large number (e.g., `100000000000`) to effectively ignore the latency constraint. | `500` |
+| `NUM_SEQS_LIST` | A space-separated string of `max-num-seqs` values to test. | `"128 256"` |
+| `NUM_BATCHED_TOKENS_LIST` | A space-separated string of `max-num-batched-tokens` values to test. | `"1024 2048 4096"` |
+
+**Note**: The default `NUM_SEQS_LIST` and `NUM_BATCHED_TOKENS_LIST` are set for medium-sized inputs/outputs. For very short contexts (e.g., 20 input, 20 output tokens), you may need to test larger values for `max-num-seqs`.
+
+## How to Run
+
+1. **Configure**: Edit the script and set the variables in the [Configuration](#configuration) section.
+2. **Execute**: Run the script. Since the process can take a long time, it is highly recommended to use a terminal multiplexer like `tmux` or `screen` to prevent the script from stopping if your connection is lost.
+
+```
+cd <FOLDER_OF_THIS_SCRIPT>
+bash auto_tune.sh
+```
+
+    Please note that the `bash auto_tune.sh` command cannot contain full or partial path with keyword `vllm`, otherwise `pkill -f vllm` command will also kill this script itself.
+
+## Example Use Cases
+
+Here are a few examples of how to configure the script for different goals:
+
+### 1. Maximize Throughput (No Latency Constraint)
+- **Goal**: Find the best `max-num-seqs` and `max-num-batched-tokens` to get the highest possible throughput for 1800 input tokens and 20 output tokens.
+- **Configuration**:
+
+```bash
+INPUT_LEN=1800
+OUTPUT_LEN=20
+MIN_CACHE_HIT_PCT=0
+MAX_LATENCY_ALLOWED_MS=100000000000 # A very large number
+```
+
+#### 2. Maximize Throughput with a Latency Requirement
+- **Goal**: Find the best server parameters when P99 end-to-end latency must be below 500ms.
+- **Configuration**:
+
+```bash
+INPUT_LEN=1800
+OUTPUT_LEN=20
+MIN_CACHE_HIT_PCT=0
+MAX_LATENCY_ALLOWED_MS=500
+```
+
+#### 3. Maximize Throughput with Prefix Caching and Latency Requirements
+- **Goal**: Find the best server parameters assuming a 60% prefix cache hit rate and a latency requirement of 500ms.
+- **Configuration**:
+
+```bash
+INPUT_LEN=1800
+OUTPUT_LEN=20
+MIN_CACHE_HIT_PCT=60
+MAX_LATENCY_ALLOWED_MS=500
+```
+
+## Output
+
+After the script finishes, you will find the results in a new, timestamped directory created inside `$BASE/auto-benchmark/`.
+
+- **Log Files**: The directory (`$BASE/auto-benchmark/YYYY_MM_DD_HH_MM/`) contains detailed logs for each run:
+    - `vllm_log_...txt`: The log output from the vLLM server for each parameter combination.
+    - `bm_log_...txt`: The log output from the `benchmark_serving.py` script for each benchmark run.
+
+- **Final Result Summary**: A file named `result.txt` is created in the log directory. It contains a summary of each tested combination and concludes with the overall best parameters found.
+
+```
+# Example result.txt content
+hash:a1b2c3d4...
+max_num_seqs: 128, max_num_batched_tokens: 2048, request_rate: 10.0, e2el: 450.5, throughput: 9.8, goodput: 9.8
+max_num_seqs: 128, max_num_batched_tokens: 4096 does not meet latency requirement 500
+...
+best_max_num_seqs: 256, best_num_batched_tokens: 2048, best_throughput: 12.5, profile saved in: /home/user/vllm/auto-benchmark/2024_08_01_10_30/profile
+```
+
+  If it cannot find the best parameters, the final row will be `best_max_num_seqs: 0, best_num_batched_tokens: 0, best_throughput: 0`. This can be due to either the server not starting properly, or the latency requirement being too strict.
+
+- **Profiler Trace**: A directory named `profile` is created inside the log directory. It contains the profiler trace file (e.g., `.xplane.pb` for TPU or a `.json` trace for GPU) from the single best-performing run.
+
+## How It Works
+
+The script follows a systematic process to find the optimal parameters:
+
+1. **Find Max GPU Memory Utilization**: The script first determines the highest safe `gpu-memory-utilization` (starting from 0.98 and decreasing) that does not cause an Out-Of-Memory (OOM) error when launching the server. This ensures the benchmark runs use the maximum available memory without crashing.
+
+2. **Iterate and Benchmark**: It then enters a nested loop, iterating through every combination of `max-num-seqs` and `max-num-batched-tokens` provided in the configuration lists.
+
+3. **Latency-Aware Throughput Search**: For each parameter combination:
+    - The vLLM server is started.
+    - A benchmark is first run with an infinite request rate (`--request-rate inf`).
+    - If the resulting P99 E2E latency is within the `MAX_LATENCY_ALLOWED_MS` limit, this throughput is considered the maximum for this configuration.
+    - If the latency is too high, the script performs a search by iteratively decreasing the request rate until the latency constraint is met. This finds the highest sustainable throughput for the given parameters and latency requirement.
+
+4. **Track Best Result**: Throughout the process, the script tracks the parameter combination that has yielded the highest valid throughput so far.
+
+5. **Profile Collection**: For the best-performing run, the script saves the vLLM profiler output, which can be used for deep-dive performance analysis with tools like TensorBoard.
