+INFERENCE_INTERLEAVE Test
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This is a stress test for validating the end-to-end inference execution on ML device. The test
+configures the ML device and queue pairs as per the queue-pair related options (queue_pairs
+and queue_size) specified by the user. Upon successful configuration of the device and queue
+pairs, all models specified through the filelist are loaded to the device. Inferences for multiple
+models are enqueued by a pool of worker threads in parallel. Inference execution by the device is
+interleaved between multiple models. Total number of inferences enqueued for a model are equal to
+the repetitions specified. An additional pool of threads would dequeue the inferences from the
+device. Models would be unloaded upon completion of inferences for all models loaded.
