Throughput vs Latency

Quick Reference: Memory vs Latency | Accuracy vs Latency

Quick Reference

Throughput: Process more requests per second

Latency: Lower response time per request

Trade-off: Batching increases throughput but increases latency

Clear Definition

Throughput vs Latency trade-off: Batching and optimization increase throughput but may increase latency. Real-time processing reduces latency but may reduce throughput.

šŸ’” Key Insight: Batch for high throughput, process immediately for low latency. Choose based on requirements.

Core Concepts

Batching

  • Process multiple items together
  • Higher throughput
  • Higher latency (wait for batch)

Real-time

  • Process immediately
  • Lower latency
  • Lower throughput

Best Practices

  1. Choose Based on Needs: High volume = batch, real-time = immediate
  2. Hybrid: Batch non-critical, real-time critical
  3. Monitor: Track both throughput and latency

Quick Reference Summary

Throughput: Process more per second. Batching helps.

Latency: Lower response time. Real-time processing helps.

Key: Choose based on requirements. Often trade-off.
