Summary

Prepare llm-d and RHAIIS benchmark orchestration for more than one tool. Existing profiles use a single configured GuideLLM default; profiles do not need individual edits. The resolver validates explicit tool names, llm-d dispatches through a tool-aware entrypoint, and both projects record benchmark_tool in test metadata. llm-d cleanup no longer guesses a GuideLLM Job name.

This PR is the base for the AI Perf integration in the stacked follow-up PR. GuideLLM remains the only executable benchmark tool in this branch.

Validation

  • .venv/bin/python -m pytest -q projects/llm_d/tests/test_profiles.py passed (51 tests).
  • Ruff checks passed on changed Python files.

No cluster benchmark was run.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Benchmark configurations now default to Guidellm and can specify a benchmark tool. The selected tool is recorded in test metadata.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Benchmark resource cleanup no longer targets default benchmark resources when a different benchmark is selected, helping avoid unintended deletions. When no benchmark is specified, named-resource cleanup is skipped.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The llm_d and rhaiis orchestration code now resolves benchmark tools and records tool selection in test metadata. llm_d dispatches Guidellm benchmarks and applies Guidellm-specific defaults. Resource cleanup no longer assumes or separately removes resources for the default benchmark name.

Changes

Benchmark tool handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Resolve llm_d benchmark configuration
projects/llm_d/orchestration/config.d/workloads.yaml, projects/llm_d/orchestration/runtime_config.py, projects/llm_d/tests/test_profiles.py
llm_d configuration defaults to guidellm. Resolution validates the tool and applies inherited keys and arguments only to Guidellm benchmarks. Tests cover defaulting, AIPerf configuration, and unsupported tools.
Dispatch llm_d benchmarks
projects/llm_d/orchestration/test_phase.py
Test labels record the configured tool and first benchmark key when keys exist. The test flow dispatches Guidellm benchmarks through run_benchmark.
Resolve rhaiis benchmark tools
projects/rhaiis/orchestration/config.yaml, projects/rhaiis/orchestration/runtime_config.py, projects/rhaiis/orchestration/test_phase.py
rhaiis configuration sets guidellm as the default. Runtime code resolves and validates the workload’s benchmark tool.
Apply tool selection to test handling
projects/rhaiis/orchestration/test_phase.py
Test handling passes the selected tool into metadata labels. When benchmarking is enabled, it raises ValueError for tools other than guidellm; standalone-analysis mode remains outside this check.

Benchmark resource cleanup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Limit cleanup to the selected benchmark
projects/llm_d/toolbox/cleanup_test_resources/main.py
Cleanup no longer uses guidellm-benchmark as a fallback name or separately deletes its resources when another benchmark name is selected.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Feature

Suggested reviewers: kpouget, harshith-umesh

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 84faf

Selecting aiperf for an executable benchmark predictably fails after consuming cluster work in either project. Reject that selection before deployment unless the delayed failure is explicitly accepted.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 84faf

An explicitly selected tool can cause cluster deployment before either orchestrator reports that it has no runner. Cleanup is normally attempted, and no new direct security exposure was established. Deployment and cleanup behavior was not verified on a cluster.

Retained concerns

  • Low · reliability · observed: Both orchestrators accept aiperf as a configured tool but discover that it has no runner only after provisioning an inference service. This makes a permitted configuration predictably fail after cluster work and places failure containment on cleanup; llm-d cleanup is conditional on its finalizer setting.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The new selection path affects configured benchmark runs in both projects and their cluster deployment lifecycle, but the inspected code does not establish that an unauthenticated actor can set profiles or extend deletion beyond the supplied namespace.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Both resolvers reject tool names outside guidellm and aiperf. This constrains the configured selector, but accepting aiperf does not establish that a runner is available before cluster provisioning.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — The removed default-name deletion does not appear to weaken current GuideLLM cleanup: the active configuration supplies its job name to named cleanup, and cleanup-all retains a namespace-scoped project-label path. Actual deletion under cluster failure was not verified.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Check runner availability for benchmark-enabled runs before deploying an inference service, so an accepted but unexecutable selection does not rely on subsequent cleanup for failure containment.

direct calls.

runner before deployment or either workload phase, including GuideLLM warmup and

validation so standalone-analysis mode can still accept the configured tool.

Validation done before:

  • Validate with GuideLLM smoke and small Qwen model for artifact generation - until Dashboard CSV

Validation after the CodeRabbit runner-availability fixes (08233b1b):

  • PYTHONPATH=. PATH="$PWD/.venv/bin:$PATH" .venv/bin/python -m pytest -q projects/llm_d/tests/test_profiles.py projects/rhaiis/tests/test_runner_validation.py — passed.
  • PYTHONPATH=. PATH="$PWD/.venv/bin:$PATH" .venv/bin/python -m pytest -q — passed (the repository's default pytest suite).
  • .venv/bin/ruff check projects/ bin/ and .venv/bin/ruff format --check projects/ bin/ — passed.
  • git diff --check — passed.

The new tests verify that an unavailable runner is rejected before cluster work in both projects, while RHAIIS standalone analysis can still use the configured tool name.

@albertoperdomo2 This is a preparation PR to make the benchmark runner semantics a bit generic for aiperf to be integrated in a follow-up PR.

@kpouget @Harshith-umesh Including either if you since it does involve a couple of files in the RHAIIS project and the core.

hey Thameem, looks good overall,
question: don't you want an object class and inheritance to avoid the if/then/else
and you move the guidellm part to a dedicated loadgenerator/guidellm.py file?
and I guess when aiperf will come, you'll need another caliper plugin & configuration

@kpouget That definitely would be the right way. Was not sure of the change surface that would entail. Let me see what that will involve.

Yes. That will involve it's own. I agree it'd not be wise to try and shove all the metrics / post-processing from different load generators into the same path.

@kpouget I tried your suggestion in this prototype diff. PR1 itself is unchanged.

  • Added a shared LoadGenerator.run(context) contract and a runner registry in each project.
  • Moved llm-d GuideLLM defaults/launch and RHAIIS GuideLLM launch/warmup/profiling into adapters.
  • Caliper remains a separate postprocessing step. Full pytest and Ruff checks pass.
Before
llm_d/orchestration/runtime_config.py + test_phase.py   GuideLLM defaults + launch
rhaiis/orchestration/runtime_config.py + test_phase.py  GuideLLM args + launch/warmup/profile

After
core/library/loadgenerator.py                       LoadGenerator.run()
llm_d/orchestration/loadgenerator/
  __init__.py                                    runner registry
  base.py                                        LlmDLoadGenerator(LoadGenerator)
  guidellm.py                                    GuideLLMGenerator(LlmDLoadGenerator)
rhaiis/orchestration/loadgenerator/
  __init__.py                                    runner registry
  base.py                                        RhaiisLoadGenerator(LoadGenerator)
  guidellm.py                                    GuideLLMGenerator(RhaiisLoadGenerator)

Does this match the structure you had in mind?

@thameem-abbas yes that's the idea,
just with a quick glance,

get_load_generator(tool).configure_timeout(benchmark_timeout)
...
get_load_generator(tool) # no `return` or `generator = ...`

these lines (first one in particular) imply a long-life object being configured. Better carry an object an not use singleton configuration

and I didn't check if you already covered this aspect, but it can be interesting to consider PSAP-3090 as well for this work, having a common methodology for launching Guidellm in Forge/RHAIIS vs Forge/llm-d vs Forge/.

and, important @thameem-abbas , please make sure you locate the files in projects/guidellm/library/... instead of projects/rhaiis/orchestration/loadgenerator/guidellm.py
