Can the Instinct MI455X run ESM1-43M?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
ESM1-43M on the Instinct MI455X
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 6040k | 144929.6-177136.2 t/s | ~295.8-361.5 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 6041k | 289859.2-354272.3 t/s | ~591.5-723 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 6041k | 517605.6-632629.1 t/s | ~1056.3-1291.1 (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.
