Can the NVIDIA DGX Spark run BiRNA-BERT?

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

FP16 yes 1731k 851.7-1015 t/s ~31.2-37.2 (slow)
Q8 yes 1733k 1703.3-2030 t/s ~62.4-74.4 (slow)
Q4 yes 1734k 3041.7-3625 t/s ~111.4-132.8 (slow)

Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to SSD swap and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.

FAQ

Can the NVIDIA DGX Spark run BiRNA-BERT?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~3041.7-3625 tok/s and fits up to 1734k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~111.4-132.8 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 1734k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
