Can the NVIDIA A100 SXM4 80GB run TinyLlama-1.1B (3T token checkpoint)?

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

TinyLlama-1.1B (3T token checkpoint) on the NVIDIA A100 SXM4 80GB

FP16 yes 1067k 676.6-806.3 t/s ~13.3-15.8 (slow)
Q8 yes 1083k 1353.2-1612.7 t/s ~26.5-31.6 (slow)
Q4 yes 1091k 2416.3-2879.8 t/s ~47.4-56.5 (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 TinyLlama-1.1B (3T token checkpoint)?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~2416.3-2879.8 tok/s and fits up to 1091k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~47.4-56.5 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 1091k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
