Can the NVIDIA DGX Spark run CRYSTALCODER?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
CRYSTALCODER on the NVIDIA DGX Spark
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 765k | 14.9-17.7 t/s | ~0.5-0.6 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 816k | 29.7-35.4 t/s | ~1.1-1.3 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 839k | 53.1-63.3 t/s | ~1.9-2.3 (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 CRYSTALCODER?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~53.1-63.3 tok/s and fits up to 839k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~1.9-2.3 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 839k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
