Can the NVIDIA A100 PCIe 80GB run XLM-RoBERTa?

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

XLM-RoBERTa on the NVIDIA A100 PCIe 80GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 1083k 1284.1-1530.4 t/s ~26.5-31.6 (slow)
Q8 yes 1092k 2568.3-3060.8 t/s ~53.1-63.3 (slow)
Q4 yes 1095k 4586.2-5465.7 t/s ~94.8-113 (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 NVIDIA A100 PCIe 80GB run XLM-RoBERTa?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~4586.2-5465.7 tok/s and fits up to 1095k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~94.8-113 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 1095k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
