Can the NVIDIA B200 run Ring-flash-linear-2.0?
Yes โ here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Ring-flash-linear-2.0 on the NVIDIA B200
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | no | โ | โ | โ |
| Q8 | yes | 216k | 56-66.8 t/s | ~0.3-0.3 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 356k | 100.1-119.3 t/s | ~0.5-0.6 (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 Ring-flash-linear-2.0?โถ
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~100.1-119.3 tok/s and fits up to 356k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~0.5-0.6 tok/s.
How much context fits?โถ
At Q4, up to about 356k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
