Can the NVIDIA L40S 48GB run LUKE?

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

LUKE on the NVIDIA L40S 48GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 636k 652.9-778.1 t/s ~30.2-36 (slow)
Q8 yes 644k 1305.8-1556.3 t/s ~60.5-72 (slow)
Q4 yes 647k 2331.9-2779.1 t/s ~108-128.7 (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 LUKE?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~2331.9-2779.1 tok/s and fits up to 647k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~108-128.7 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 647k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
