CARP on the Huawei Ascend 950DT

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 1979k 2021.8-2457.2 t/s ~20.2-24.6 (slow)
Q8 yes 1989k 4043.5-4914.5 t/s ~40.4-49.1 (slow)
Q4 yes 1993k 7220.6-8775.8 t/s ~72.2-87.8 (slow)

Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.

FAQ

Can the Huawei Ascend 950DT run CARP?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~7220.6-8775.8 tok/s and fits up to 1993k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~72.2-87.8 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 1993k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
