Multi-GPU Benchmark: B200 vs H200 vs H100 vs MI300X
For over two decades, optimizing compute performance has been a cornerstone of my work. We benchmarked NVIDIA’s B200, H200, H100, and AMD’s MI300X to assess how well they scale for Large Language Model (LLM) inference. Using the vLLM framework with the meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct model, we ran tests on 1, 2, 4, and 8 GPUs. We analyzed…

GPU Concurrency Benchmark: H100 vs H200 vs B200 vs MI300X
I have spent the last 20 years focusing on system-level computational performance optimization. We benchmarked the latest NVIDIA GPUs, including the NVIDIA’s H100, H200, and B200, and AMD’s MI300X, for concurrency scaling analysis. Using the vLLM framework with the gpt-oss-20b model, we tested how these GPUs handle concurrent requests, from 1 to 512. By measuring…

DGX Spark alternatives: RTX, Ryzen AI Halo and Mac Studio
We compare published DGX Spark, RTX and Ryzen AI Halo inference benchmarks, covering prompt processing, token generation and longer contexts. Alternatives include Framework Desktop, Mac Studio and GB10 systems from other manufacturers. Decode speed measures output tokens generated per second. Higher values mean faster response generation. All six results use GPT-OSS 20B MXFP4 in Ollama…

Free Cloud GPUs: Models, Limits and Access Requirements
Free cloud GPUs are available through Python notebooks, AI demos and monthly compute credits. Compare GPU hardware, free allowances and access requirements, or check which services suit your workload. Two T4s provide two separate 16 GB memory allocations. Running a model across both requires software that distributes the workload. The combined capacity does not make…
