Can the NVIDIA DGX Spark run ProtRNA?

Yes โ€” here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 1715k 153.3-182.7 t/s ~5.6-6.7 (slow)
Q8 yes 1725k 306.6-365.4 t/s ~11.2-13.4 (slow)
Q4 yes 1729k 547.5-652.5 t/s ~20.1-23.9 (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 ProtRNA?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~547.5-652.5 tok/s and fits up to 1729k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~20.1-23.9 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 1729k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
