Throughput Benchmark Python Sample

This sample demonstrates how to estimate performance of a model using Asynchronous Inference Request API in throughput mode. Unlike demos this sample doesn't have other configurable command line arguments. Feel free to modify sample's source code to try out different options.

The reported results may deviate from what benchmark_app reports. One example is model input precision for computer vision tasks. benchmark_app sets uint8, while the sample uses default model precision which is usually float32.

For more detailed information on how this sample works, check the dedicated article
