To ensure inference speed within 16 GB of VRAM, the core principle is to avoid having weights offloaded to memory, because there is nearly a 10x difference between GPU VRAM bandwidth and CPU memory bandwidth.

UnverifiedFor modern CPUs and GPUs, memory bandwidth is often the true bottleneck for inference speed rather than the compute units' arithmetic throughput, which is why quantization can bring speed improvements.79% similarUnverifiedCPU offload places some Transformer layers in system main memory to be computed by the CPU, with data transferred over the PCIe bus (PCIe 4.0 x16 theoretical bandwidth is approximately 32 GB/s), while GPU memory bandwidth is typically in the range of hundreds to over a thousand GB/s, making the bandwidth gap the fundamental cause of the performance bottleneck.77% similarUnverifiedGPU 推理速度通常是纯 CPU 的 5-20 倍，当模型太大无法放入显存时部分层会卸载到内存由 CPU 处理（混合运行/partial offload）77% similarUnverifiedCPU Offload推理与纯显卡推理相比速度差距通常在5-10倍量级76% similar
