Can the NVIDIA L40S 48GB run DNABERT?

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

DNABERT on the NVIDIA L40S 48GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 648k 2866.9-3416.7 t/s ~132.7-158.2 (slow)
Q8 yes 649k 5733.8-6833.5 t/s ~265.5-316.4 (slow)
Q4 yes 650k 10239-12202.6 t/s ~474-564.9 (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 L40S 48GB run DNABERT?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~10239-12202.6 tok/s and fits up to 650k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~474-564.9 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 650k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
