Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Running evaluations on 4500+ scenarios sequentially is time-prohibitive. Users need parallel execution to complete comprehensive evaluations in reasonable timeframes, especially for enterprise use cases.
Describe the solution you'd like
Parallel and distributed evaluation system with:
-
Local Parallel Execution
- Multi-threaded scenario processing
- Configurable worker count
- Resource usage monitoring
- Progress tracking across threads
-
Distributed Evaluation
- Worker node coordination
- Load balancing across nodes
- Fault tolerance and recovery
- Result aggregation
-
Cloud Integration
- Docker container support
- Kubernetes deployment templates
- AWS/GCP/Azure batch processing
- Serverless evaluation options
Proposed API
# Local parallel execution
runner = EvaluationRunner(parallel=True, workers=8)
results = runner.evaluate_batch(scenarios, agent)
# Distributed execution
cluster = EvaluationCluster(nodes=["worker1", "worker2", "worker3"])
results = cluster.evaluate(scenarios, agent)
# Cloud execution
cloud_runner = CloudEvaluationRunner(provider="aws", instance_type="c5.xlarge")
results = cloud_runner.evaluate(scenarios, agent)Acceptance Criteria
- Multi-threaded local execution with configurable workers
- Progress tracking and resource monitoring
- Distributed execution coordinator
- Docker containerization for workers
- Cloud deployment templates (AWS/GCP/Azure)
- Fault tolerance and automatic recovery
- Result aggregation and consistency validation
Performance Targets
- 10x speedup with 8-core local execution
- Linear scaling with distributed workers
- <5% overhead for coordination
- 99.9% result consistency between serial and parallel runs
Additional context
Essential for enterprise users who need to run comprehensive evaluations regularly. Similar to capabilities in EleutherAI/lm-evaluation-harness but optimized for agent evaluation patterns.
Estimated Effort
- Large (2+ weeks)
