Can the Intel Gaudi 3 run SimpleFold?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
SimpleFold on the Intel Gaudi 3
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1682k | 357.7-444 t/s | ~3.9-4.8 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1728k | 715.3-888 t/s | ~7.7-9.6 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1748k | 1277.4-1585.7 t/s | ~13.8-17.1 (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 Intel Gaudi 3 run SimpleFold?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~1277.4-1585.7 tok/s and fits up to 1748k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~13.8-17.1 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 1748k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
