Performance Analysis
Dense FP16 performance reaches 125 TFLOPS on the A10 and 165.2 TFLOPS on the RTX 4090 while sparse FP16 performance reaches 250 TFLOPS on the A10 and 330.4 TFLOPS on the RTX 4090. The FP16 to FP32 ratio equals 4.0 on the A10 and 2.0 on the RTX 4090 indicating different acceleration profiles for mixed precision training and inference workloads. Memory bandwidth of 600 GB/s on the A10 versus 1008 GB/s on the RTX 4090 directly limits maximum batch sizes in memory bound operations such as large model inference.
