Can the NVIDIA H200 run NeMO Megatron GPT 20B?

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

NeMO Megatron GPT 20B on the NVIDIA H200

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 337k 87.6-104.4 t/s ~0.7-0.9 (slow)
Q8 yes 413k 175.2-208.8 t/s ~1.5-1.7 (slow)
Q4 yes 446k 312.9-372.9 t/s ~2.6-3.1 (slow)

Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.

FAQ

Can the NVIDIA H200 run NeMO Megatron GPT 20B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~312.9-372.9 tok/s and fits up to 446k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~2.6-3.1 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 446k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
