FP16 yes 1975k 1688.3-2051.9 t/s ~16.9-20.5 (slow)
Q8 yes 1987k 3376.6-4103.9 t/s ~33.8-41 (slow)
Q4 yes 1992k 6029.7-7328.4 t/s ~60.3-73.3 (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 CodeT5-large?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~6029.7-7328.4 tok/s and fits up to 1992k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~60.3-73.3 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 1992k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
