Zidong Taichu on the NVIDIA A100 PCIe 80GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 1003k 220.7-263 t/s ~4.6-5.4 (slow)
Q8 yes 1051k 441.4-526.1 t/s ~9.1-10.9 (slow)
Q4 yes 1073k 788.3-939.4 t/s ~16.3-19.4 (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 Zidong Taichu?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~788.3-939.4 tok/s and fits up to 1073k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~16.3-19.4 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 1073k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
