Can the Intel Gaudi 3 run MT-DNN?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
MT-DNN on the Intel Gaudi 3
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1764k | 3251.5-4036.4 t/s | ~35.2-43.6 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1769k | 6503-8072.7 t/s | ~70.3-87.3 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1771k | 11612.6-14415.6 t/s | ~125.5-155.8 (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 Intel Gaudi 3 run MT-DNN?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~11612.6-14415.6 tok/s and fits up to 1771k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~125.5-155.8 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 1771k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
