Can the Instinct MI455X run ProtBERT-BFD?

Yes โ€” here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.

ProtBERT-BFD on the Instinct MI455X

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 6029k 14700-17966.7 t/s ~30-36.7 (slow)
Q8 yes 6035k 29400-35933.3 t/s ~60-73.3 (slow)
Q4 yes 6038k 52500-64166.7 t/s ~107.1-131 (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 Instinct MI455X run ProtBERT-BFD?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~52500-64166.7 tok/s and fits up to 6038k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~107.1-131 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 6038k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
