Methodology Note
Performance estimates for the A30are based on InferenceBench's roofline performance model with CUDA kernel-level optimization including FlashAttention v2 and PagedAttention. Memory calculations account for model weights (24 GB HBM2 available), KV-cache allocation, and activation memory. Throughput predictions use the A30's rated 933 GB/s memory bandwidth and 165 BF16 TFLOPS compute capacity as roofline ceilings, with empirical correction factors per GPU architecture (ampere). See our full methodology.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many AI models can run on A30?
The A30 can run 255 AI models from our database within a single node. Compatible models range across various parameter sizes depending on the quantization precision (BF16, FP8, INT4). Smaller models fit on a single GPU while larger models may require multi-GPU setups up to 8x A30.
What is the A30 inference throughput?
The A30 delivers 165 BF16 TFLOPS and 165 FP8 TFLOPS with 933 GB/s memory bandwidth. Actual inference throughput (tokens/sec) depends on the model size, precision, and batch size. Use our calculator for model-specific throughput estimates.
How much does A30 cost per hour?
The A30 is available starting from $0.35/hour via vast_ai. Prices vary by provider and pricing tier (on-demand, reserved, spot). Compare pricing across all providers in the table above.
