Can the NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada 48GB run SantaCoder?

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

SantaCoder on the NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada 48GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 617k 318.5-379.6 t/s ~13.3-15.8 (slow)
Q8 yes 634k 637.1-759.3 t/s ~26.5-31.6 (slow)
Q4 yes 642k 1137.7-1355.8 t/s ~47.4-56.5 (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 RTX 6000 Ada 48GB run SantaCoder?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~1137.7-1355.8 tok/s and fits up to 642k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~47.4-56.5 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 642k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
