Can the NVIDIA A100 SXM4 80GB run GLIDE?

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

GLIDE on the NVIDIA A100 SXM4 80GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 993k 212.6-253.4 t/s ~4.2-5 (slow)
Q8 yes 1047k 425.3-506.8 t/s ~8.3-9.9 (slow)
Q4 yes 1070k 759.4-905.1 t/s ~14.9-17.8 (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 NVIDIA A100 SXM4 80GB run GLIDE?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~759.4-905.1 tok/s and fits up to 1070k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~14.9-17.8 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 1070k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
