Inference Time
| GPU | Quantization type | Batch size 1 | Batch size 32 |
|---|---|---|---|
| NVIDIA A10 | FP16 | 2 ms | 30 ms |
| NVIDIA A10 | FP32 | 4 ms | 83 ms |
| NVIDIA T4 | FP16 | 3 ms | 65 ms |
| NVIDIA T4 | FP32 | 14 ms | 373 ms |
| NVIDIA L4 | FP16 | 2 ms | 38 ms |
| NVIDIA L4 | FP32 | 5 ms | 124 ms |
Note that the Answer Finder models are only used at query time.
Gpu Memory usage
| Quantization type | Memory |
|---|---|
| FP16 | 550 MiB |
| FP32 | 1050 MiB |
Note that GPU memory usage only includes how much GPU memory the actual model consumes on an NVIDIA T4 GPU with a batch size of 32. It does not include the fix amount of memory that is consumed by the ONNX Runtime upon initialization which can be around 0.5 to 1 GiB depending on the used GPU.
Requirements
- Minimal Sinequa version: 11.10.0
- Cuda compute capability: above 5.0 (above 6.0 for FP16 use)
