Can the NVIDIA DGX Spark run HyenaDNA?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
HyenaDNA on the NVIDIA DGX Spark
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1735k | 15097.7-17993.2 t/s | ~553-659.1 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1735k | 30195.5-35986.4 t/s | ~1106.1-1318.2 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1735k | 53920.5-64261.4 t/s | ~1975.1-2353.9 (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 HyenaDNA?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~53920.5-64261.4 tok/s and fits up to 1735k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~1975.1-2353.9 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 1735k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
