Use type hints to create a utility function that calculates memory usage based on data size parameters. Ensure the implementation includes comprehensive testing, using assertions for verification.

Benchmark the runtime performance and report results clearly as required including a PASS/FAIL statement. The self-checks should include various edge cases like null input types and boundary values ensuring reliability.

```python
import sys

def vram_required(mb: int) -> float:
    """Calculate VRAM in GB required given MB.
    
    Args:
        mb (int): Size in megabytes.
        
    Returns:
        float: VRAM requirement in gigabytes.
    """
    assert isinstance(mb, int), "Input must be an integer."
    assert mb >= 0, "Memory size cannot be negative."
    
    GB_IN_MB = 1 / 1024.0
    gbs_needed = mb * GB_IN_MB
    
    return round(gbs_needed, 2)

    """Times a function call and returns its execution time in seconds."""
