Can the NVIDIA DGX Spark run Novae?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Novae on the NVIDIA DGX Spark
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1734k | 3113.9-3711.1 t/s | ~114.1-135.9 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1734k | 6227.8-7422.2 t/s | ~228.1-271.9 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1735k | 11121.1-13253.9 t/s | ~407.4-485.5 (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 Novae?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~11121.1-13253.9 tok/s and fits up to 1735k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~407.4-485.5 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.
