Can the NVIDIA A100 SXM4 80GB run Unified-IO (XL)?

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

Unified-IO (XL) on the NVIDIA A100 SXM4 80GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 1011k 254.4-303.2 t/s ~5-5.9 (slow)
Q8 yes 1056k 508.9-606.5 t/s ~10-11.9 (slow)
Q4 yes 1075k 908.7-1083 t/s ~17.8-21.2 (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 Unified-IO (XL)?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~908.7-1083 tok/s and fits up to 1075k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~17.8-21.2 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 1075k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
