📈 Visualized Trends Analysis

  • Prompt Processing (pp512):
    • Shows a linear decline as context grows.
    • The drop is gentle (-17.6%) between 8K → 32K.
    • The slope steepens after 64K. At the maximum 131K context, speed drops by 52% from the baseline. The error bars expand significantly here, signaling execution time instability near the VRAM capacity limit.
  • Token Generation (tg128):
    • Demonstrates a very smooth, stable descent.
    • Performance loss is minimal, dropping by only ~1.3 t/s for every additional 32K of context.
    • The overall speed difference between 8K and 131K is just 23%, which is excellent for a dual-card setup running via ROCm in tensor split mode.
