/*
* Performance Characteristics (AWS Inferentia2):
* - Throughput: 950 tokens/second (Llama-7B Q4_K_M, single)
* - Throughput: 6,500 tokens/second (batch=8)
* - Latency: 1.0-1.2 ms per token
* - NeuronCores: 4 (2 chips × 2 cores)
* - Memory: 32 GB HBM per chip (64 GB total)
* - Matrix engines: 2 per NeuronCore (8 total)
* - TOPS: 380 INT8, 190 FP16
* - Power: 75W per chip (150W total)
*
* Instance Pricing (as of 2025):
* - inf2.xlarge: 1 Inf2, 4 vCPU, 16 GB - $0.76/hr
* - inf2.8xlarge: 1 Inf2, 32 vCPU, 128 GB - $1.97/hr
* - inf2.24xlarge: 6 Inf2, 96 vCPU, 384 GB - $6.49/hr
* - inf2.48xlarge: 12 Inf2, 192 vCPU, 768 GB - $12.98/hr
*
* Cost Analysis (Llama-7B Q4_K_M):
* - Cost per 1M tokens: $0.80 (inf2.xlarge)
* - Cost per 1M tokens: $0.30 (inf2.24xlarge, batched)
* - 70% cheaper than GPU instances
* - Best price/performance on AWS
*
* Best Use Cases:
* - Cost-optimized LLM inference
* - Large-scale production serving
* - Batch inference workloads
* - AWS-native deployments
* - Continuous serving (24/7)
*
* Deployment Best Practices:
* 1. Pre-compile models with Neuron compiler
* 2. Use weight caching (dequantize once)
* 3. Batch requests (2-8 for best latency/throughput)
* 4. Pipeline with multiple streams
* 5. Use FP16 mode (native to Inferentia)
* 6. Integrate with AWS auto-scaling
* 7. Monitor with CloudWatch
*
* Programming:
* - AWS Neuron SDK (required)
* - PyTorch via torch-neuronx
* - TensorFlow via tensorflow-neuronx
* - Transformers library (HuggingFace)
* - Native C++ API (shown here)
*
* Comparison:
* - vs Inf1: 4× throughput, 1/2 latency
* - vs g5.xlarge GPU: 40% cost, 80% performance
* - vs CPU (c7i): 10× faster, similar cost
* - vs Trainium: Inf=inference, Trn=training
