Can the NVIDIA DGX Spark run Ring-flash-linear-2.0?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Ring-flash-linear-2.0 on the NVIDIA DGX Spark
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | no | — | — | — |
| Q8 | yes | 29k | 1.9-2.3 t/s | ~0.1-0.1 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 169k | 3.4-4.1 t/s | ~0.1-0.1 (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 Ring-flash-linear-2.0?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~3.4-4.1 tok/s and fits up to 169k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~0.1-0.1 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 169k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
