This commit introduces a comprehensive KV Cache benchmark suite designed to measure storage system performance under AI/ML inference workloads, specifically targeting Large Language Model (LLM) key-value cache operations. Key components added: - Core benchmark scripts (kv-cache.py, kv-cache_sharegpt_replay.py) - Benchmark wrapper and validation tools (kv-cache-wrapper.sh, validate.sh) - Comprehensive proposal documentation for MLPerf Storage v3 integration - README with benchmark overview and usage guidelines The benchmark simulates realistic LLM inference patterns including: - Key-value cache read/write operations - Mixed sequential and random access patterns - Multi-threaded concurrent access scenarios - Conversation-based workload replay using ShareGPT dataset This work addresses the growing need to standardize storage performance measurements for AI inference workloads and provides a foundation for MLPerf Storage v3.0 KV cache benchmark specification.

New KVs should be written to the top layer and trigger eviction from a tier if sufficient space doesn't exist.
