Can the NVIDIA DGX Spark run data2vec (language)?
Yes โ here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
data2vec (language) on the NVIDIA DGX Spark
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1713k | 141.3-168.4 t/s | ~5.2-6.2 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1724k | 282.6-336.8 t/s | ~10.4-12.3 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1729k | 504.7-601.5 t/s | ~18.5-22 (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 data2vec (language)?โถ
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~504.7-601.5 tok/s and fits up to 1729k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~18.5-22 tok/s.
How much context fits?โถ
At Q4, up to about 1729k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
