Can A100 80GB SXM4 run Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct?

NVIDIA · 80 GB HBM2e · 2039 GB/s bandwidth · Alibaba · 32.8B · model ctx up to 32K

Yes — the A100 80GB SXM4 (80 GB HBM2e) can run Qwen2.5-Coder-32B-Instruct. At Q4 with the default 8K context it needs ≈ 25.6 GB VRAM (weights 18.04 GB + KV cache 6.56 GB + 1 GB runtime overhead), which fits within 80 GB. Decode at Q4/8K: ≈ 39.6 tok/s (estimated, batch 1). FP16 (≈ 73.16 GB) also fits, at ≈ 10.9 tok/s (estimated). Estimates come from memory-bandwidth math; rows tagged measured override estimates. Relative ranking is more reliable than absolute tok/s. Methodology.

Fit & speed by quant and context

Quant	Context	VRAM needed	Fits?	tok/s (decode)
Q4	4K	22.32 GB	Yes	39.6 est.
Q4	8K default	25.6 GB	Yes	39.6 est.
Q4	32K	45.28 GB	Yes	39.6 est.
FP16	4K	69.88 GB	Yes	10.9 est.
FP16	8K default	73.16 GB	Yes	10.9 est.
FP16	32K	92.84 GB	No	23.1 est.

Fits = weights + KV(ctx) + 1 GB overhead ≤ 95% of VRAM. Measured anchors are context-agnostic; the fit verdict is recomputed per context. A missing tok/s means the model is far beyond this card (offload-only territory).
