+
+This repo contains example benchmarking scripts for computing throughput of DeepSparse with a sparse model and throughput of HuggingFace + PyTorch on a GPU with a dense model.
+
+In this example, we run on the `ag_news` dataset with models downloaded from SparseZoo.
+
+## Sparse Model DeepSparse
+
+Install DeepSparse:
+
+```bash
+pip install deepsparse[transformers]
+```
+
+Download Sparse Model:
+
+```bash
+sparsezoo.download zoo:nlp/text_classification/bert-large/pytorch/huggingface/mnli/pruned90_quant-none --save-dir ./sparse-model
+```
+
+Run DeepSparse Benchmark (creates buckets for token len 64, 128, and 256):
+
+```bash
+python benchmark_deepsparse.py
+```
+
+Note: DeepSparse uses static input shapes. Since the distribution of inputs for a dataset will be varied (multiple different sequence lengths), 
+we can use bucketing where we compile DeepSparse with multiple input shapes and dynamically route inputs.
+In the case of `ag_news` (the example dataset in this case), the distribution of token lengths looks like the following:
+![Histogram](image.png)
+
+As such, we used buckets of length 64, 128, and 256. DeepSparse runs best with sequence lengths that are multiples of 16.
+
+## Dense Model GPU
+
+Install `transformers` and `datasets`:
+```
+pip install transformers[torch]
+pip install datasets
+pip install sparzeoo
+```
+
+Download Dense Model:
+```bash
+sparsezoo.download zoo:nlp/text_classification/bert-large/pytorch/huggingface/mnli/base-none --save-dir ./dense-model
+```
+
+Run HF Benchmark (on GPU):
+```
+python benchmark_huggingface.py 
+```
