Can the NVIDIA DGX Spark run GLIDE?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
GLIDE on the NVIDIA DGX Spark
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1628k | 28.5-33.9 t/s | ~1-1.2 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1682k | 56.9-67.9 t/s | ~2.1-2.5 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1705k | 101.7-121.2 t/s | ~3.7-4.4 (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 GLIDE?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~101.7-121.2 tok/s and fits up to 1705k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~3.7-4.4 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 1705k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
