Purpose:
Add --minilog flag to llama-sweep-bench that filters log output to show only essential GPU/layer distribution information while suppressing verbose model metadata and per-layer device assignment messages.
Changes:
- Add llama_selective_log_callback with blacklist approach (sweep-bench.cpp)
Blacklisted patterns (hidden):
- Per-layer device assignments ('Setting default device in layer')
- KV metadata dump header and entries
- Tensor type counts
- Model validation messages
- EOG/special token cache info
- Metadata printout (llm_load_print_meta, print_info)
- Layer sizes table
- Tensor loading info (llm_load_tensors)
- Separator lines
- Most common cases of incomplete/continuation lines are also hidden
All other log output is shown, including:
- GPU VRAM info
- Split/buffer distribution per device
- Graph split estimates
- Final benchmark table and timings

ik_llama.cpp/example/sweep-bench
Benchmark the prompt processing and token generation performance of ik_llama.cpp
by doing a sweep over a whole context size and gathering performance metrics
in each ubatch-sized window. Only a single token sequence is used.
The benchmark steps are:
for each ubatch-sized window in context:
1. generate ubatch/4 tokens (not the whole window to save some time)
2. measure generation performance
3. remove generated tokens from KV cache
4. prepare a ubatch-sized batch of random tokens
4. process prepated batch
5. measure prompt processing performance
The purpose of the benchmark is to visualize how the performance changes with the context size without averaging the metrics values over the whole context.
Usage
./llama-sweep-bench -c 8704 -ub 512 -m models/Meta-Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct-Q8_0.gguf
