# Community benchmark on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 + Quadro P6000

Measured on 2026-10-12 with `tools/strata_bench.py` (suite 1, 3 runs per test, medians with ranges). Speeds are the engine's own timings; first-token times are measured by the client over HTTP. Speed only: no correctness check was run.

## Hardware and software

- GPU and VRAM: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 + Quadro P6000, 30 GiB VRAM
- CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           X5670  @ 2.93GHz (12 cores, 24 threads); installed RAM: 94.4 GiB; storage: not measured
- OS: Linux 6.8.0-146-generic; GPU driver: 580.178.04; CUDA: 13.0
- Strata: project 0.1.43.1, commit a0116b27; engine 0.1.43.1
- Background workloads and power limits: not recorded

## Model and configuration

- Model and quantization: qwen3.8-flash-next-q2_0
- Context: 131072 tokens; parallel slots: 1
- Settings: the install's own configuration, unchanged; thinking off for the suite; temperature 0

## Method

Run by `python tools/strata_bench.py` against the HTTP API of a Strata server (started by the benchmark from the install configuration); model loading is not timed. One warm-up chat and a 1K prompt are discarded first. Every prompt starts with a unique tag, so the conversation cache cannot help the fresh-prompt tests.

- short chat: the three questions of `tools/ab_engine.py`, up to 100 new tokens, 3 runs
- 4K / 16K prompts: generated word lists sized by a calibration request, 24 new tokens, 3 fresh prompts each
- agent session: system prompt and four tools, then 5 turns that each add about 1500 words of a project file and continue from the model's own earlier answers (the way agent clients resend a conversation), 64 new tokens per turn, 3 sessions; the cache numbers come from the answer's usage (`cached_tokens`) and timings (`prompt_n`)
- concurrency (when run): N requests sent at the same moment, total tokens over the wall time of the burst, latency over all requests

## Results

| Configuration | Actual prompt tokens | Reused tokens | Generated tokens | Runs | Prompt tok/s median and range | Decode tok/s median and range | TTFT seconds median and range |
| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | --- | --- | --- |
| short chat | 46 (43-51) | 0 | 100 (100-100) | 9 | not measured | 33.4 (27.1-40.7) | 1.06 (0.90-1.60) |
| 4K prompt, fresh | 4019 (4019-4019) | 0 (0-0) | 24 cap | 3 | 253.6 (252.7-256.1) | not measured | 15.90 (15.74-15.95) |
| 16K prompt, fresh | 16058 (16058-16058) | 0 (0-0) | 24 cap | 3 | 244.8 (242.3-249.0) | not measured | 65.65 (64.57-66.34) |
| agent session, follow-up turns | 14464 (14416-14475) at the last turn | see below | up to 64 | 3 | see below | 33.8 (22.1-39.4) | 17.67 (9.14-21.18) |

Ranges are the lowest and highest of the runs; `Runs` counts requests that returned a token.

### Agent session (conversation cache)

Cache hit over the follow-up turns: 68.6 % (68.6-68.8); earlier-turn tokens read again per session: 74 (4-74) (earlier turns that the cache did not hold; the 13633 (13633-13633) new tokens of the files are read once); first turn (nothing cached) first token: 5.22 s (5.16-6.45).

| Turn (run 1) | Prompt tokens | Reused | Read | Prompt tok/s | First token (s) | Decode tok/s |
| ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
| 0 | 609 | 0 | 609 | 95.2 | 6.45 | 18.7 |
| 1 | 3701 | 621 | 3080 | 163.0 | 18.963 | 28.2 |
| 2 | 5234 | 3764 | 1470 | 135.8 | 10.889 | 34.7 |
| 3 | 8678 | 5227 | 3451 | 163.5 | 21.18 | 31.8 |
| 4 | 11584 | 8724 | 2860 | 162.3 | 17.69 | 33.8 |
| 5 | 14464 | 11618 | 2846 | 160.0 | 17.855 | 22.1 |

Per-request data: `results.json`. Engine log lines from the start: `engine-log-excerpt.txt` (when this run started the server).

## Correctness and limitations

Not measured: this is a speed suite. The conversation uses the model's own replies, so token counts differ a little between runs. Machine details come from the server, `nvidia-smi`/`rocm-smi` and the OS; background load and power limits are not recorded. Total time of the suite: 589 s.
