Methodology Note
Performance estimates for the Instinct MI100are based on InferenceBench's roofline performance model with CUDA kernel-level optimization including FlashAttention v2 and PagedAttention. Memory calculations account for model weights (32 GB HBM2 available), KV-cache allocation, and activation memory. Throughput predictions use the Instinct MI100's rated 1229 GB/s memory bandwidth and 184.6 BF16 TFLOPS compute capacity as roofline ceilings, with empirical correction factors per GPU architecture (cdna).
