### Batch Size

- `-b N, --batch-size N`: Set the batch size for prompt processing (default: `2048`). This large batch size benefits users who have BLAS installed and enabled it during the build. If you don't have BLAS enabled ("BLAS=0"), you can use a smaller number, such as 8, to see the prompt progress as it's evaluated in some situations.
- `-ub N`, `--ubatch-size N`: Physical batch size. This is the maximum number of tokens that may be processed at a time. Increasing this value may improve performance during prompt processing, at the expense of higher memory usage. Default: `512`.

- `-ub N`, `--ubatch-size N`: physical maximum batch size. This is for pipeline parallelization. Default: `512`.
- `-b N`, `--batch-size N`: Logical batch size. Increasing this value above the value of the physical batch size may improve prompt processing performance when using multiple GPUs with pipeline parallelism. Default: `2048`.
