Unit
tok/s (pp1024, 4-GPU parallel split)
Model
LLaMA-3-8B Q4_K_M GGUF
Methodology
THIRD-PARTY MEASURED (XiongjieDai/GPU-Benchmarks-on-LLM-Inference, RunPod rental, llama.cpp cuBLAS build, ~May 2024). 4x A100 PCIe 80GB x4 parallel, -ngl 10000 full offload, LLaMA-3 model. tg column = average tok/s generating up to 1024 tokens (batch-1, per-request, NOT aggregate); pp column = average tok/s on a 1024-token prompt eval.
Measured by
third_party
Reproducible
yes
notes
4-way layer split: prefill scales to 8889 t/s vs 5800 single — multi-GPU buys prompt throughput, not decode (tg 117.3 vs 138.3 single, decode goes DOWN across split as expected for a BW-bound layer-shuffled model).
