Can the NVIDIA DGX Spark run DeciCoder-1B?
Yes โ here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
DeciCoder-1B on the NVIDIA DGX Spark
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1701k | 90.6-108 t/s | ~3.3-4 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1718k | 181.2-215.9 t/s | ~6.6-7.9 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1726k | 323.5-385.6 t/s | ~11.9-14.1 (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 DeciCoder-1B?โถ
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~323.5-385.6 tok/s and fits up to 1726k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~11.9-14.1 tok/s.
How much context fits?โถ
At Q4, up to about 1726k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
