Can the Huawei Ascend 950DT run Falcon 2 11B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Falcon 2 11B on the Huawei Ascend 950DT
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 665k | 118.2-143.6 t/s | ~1.2-1.4 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 732k | 236.4-287.3 t/s | ~2.4-2.9 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 762k | 422.1-513 t/s | ~4.2-5.1 (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 Falcon 2 11B?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~422.1-513 tok/s and fits up to 762k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~4.2-5.1 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 762k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
