Can the NVIDIA L40S 48GB run Zidong Taichu?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Zidong Taichu on the NVIDIA L40S 48GB
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 553k | 98.6-117.5 t/s | ~4.6-5.4 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 602k | 197.1-234.9 t/s | ~9.1-10.9 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 624k | 352-419.5 t/s | ~16.3-19.4 (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 Zidong Taichu?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~352-419.5 tok/s and fits up to 624k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~16.3-19.4 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 624k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
