The Roofline model is used to determine whether a compute kernel is compute-bound or memory-bound; when arithmetic intensity falls below the machine's compute-to-bandwidth ratio, performance is limited by memory bandwidth.

UnverifiedArithmetic intensity refers to the ratio of floating-point operations to the number of memory-access bytes required in a computational task, determining whether a program is compute-bound or bandwidth-bound; above the hardware's turning point (peak compute divided by peak bandwidth) it is compute-bound, and below it is memory-bandwidth-bound.72% similarUnverifiedLocally run coding models must account for engineering constraints such as quantization compression, inference speed, and memory footprint, so "laptop-sized" means the model's parameter scale is usually small (hundreds of millions to a few billion).69% similarUnverifiedWhen running a 1B-parameter model purely on CPU, the bottleneck is mainly memory bandwidth rather than compute: every generated token requires reading the model weights from memory once, so quantization level, CPU core count and memory frequency greatly affect speed.69% similarUnverifiedOutput limit refers to the generation space a model can use in one continuous task, while context window refers to how much material a model can read in; the two are different metrics.67% similar
