ImageBind on the NVIDIA A100 SXM4 80GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 1072k 798.5-951.7 t/s ~15.7-18.7 (slow)
Q8 yes 1086k 1597.1-1903.4 t/s ~31.3-37.3 (slow)
Q4 yes 1092k 2851.9-3398.9 t/s ~55.9-66.7 (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 ImageBind?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~2851.9-3398.9 tok/s and fits up to 1092k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~55.9-66.7 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 1092k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
