Can the NVIDIA B200 run CodeGen2?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
CodeGen2 on the NVIDIA B200
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 546k | 182.5-217.5 t/s | ~0.9-1.1 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 607k | 365-435 t/s | ~1.8-2.2 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 634k | 651.8-776.8 t/s | ~3.3-3.9 (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 B200 run CodeGen2?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~651.8-776.8 tok/s and fits up to 634k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~3.3-3.9 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 634k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
