[image] You don’t “run a model” You run Kernels The model is just a graph The Inference Engine is scheduler / optimizer / executor But the actual work? That happens in the Kernels - MatMul Kernels - Attention Kernels - RMSNorm Kernels - KV cache Kernels - Quantized linear Kernels -

[image] Just some numbers so you don’t get misled RTX 3090 (7 years old) > 24GB VRAM > Bandwidth: 936.2 GB/s > Bi-directional NVLink 112GB/s RTX PRO 4000 > 24GB VRAM > Bandwidth: 672 GB/s > No Bi-directional NVLink, > need 32 Gen. 5 PCIe Lanes to pool 2 at 64GB/s

[image] How am I connecting the DGX Spark cluster > Mikrotik CRS804-4DDQ 1.6Tbps switch > (4) 400G QSFP-DD to 2x 200G QSFP56 Each DGX Spark has a ConnectX-7 supporting 200Gbps Each cable out of the switch goes into 2 DGX Sparks This allows 8x DGX Sparks cluster at the full 1.6Tbps

[text] Most people think VRAM = model size and that’s why their runs crash GPU memory math is complex and so are the implications Here’s how it actually works in a nutshell ↓

[image] ~2,000 miles from home - SSH into the mothership - WireGuard tunnel like I’m on LAN - Resolve everything over private DNS - Routes via reverse proxies - Dispatch jobs to GPUs - Sync state across agents - Search conversations, traces, artifacts, logs Read how below

[text] What am I working on? Condensing everything I do into one place: - local AI / LLMs - inference + benchmarking - hardware + cluster builds - LLM research + notes - agent workflows - real-world perf (tokens/sec, concurrency, thermals) All into a single, searchable, indexable

[image] Bay Area folks, I’m putting together a casual get-together in San Francisco this Saturday, May 9th Pull up to talk local AI, GPUs, infra, opensource, agents, homelabs, and whatever else the GPU-poisoned brain wants to discuss Limited capacity, first come first served

[image] which one of you is this?

[video] New quick video, more coming up Goal isn't just to show how large models perform but also to show how small and medium models scale up as you multiply # of nodes and how Tensor Parallelism performs on Unified Memory hardware
