## Data Extraction & Trends
### (a) RTX 4090 Desktop GPU
| Model Variant | Huggingface (FP16) | Ours (FP16) | Ours (AWQ, W4A16) |
|---------------------|--------------------|-------------|-------------------|
| Llama-2 (7B) | 52 | 62 | 194 |
| Llama-2 (13B) | 59 | 63 | 110 |
| MPT (7B) | 59 | 63 | 158 |
| MPT (30B) | 33 | 53 | 49 |
| Falcon (7B) | 33 | 53 | 124 |
**Trend**: AWQ (red) consistently outperforms FP16 variants by 2-3x across all models
### (b) Jetson Orin Mobile GPU
| Model Variant | Huggingface (FP16) | Ours (FP16) | Ours (AWQ, W4A16) |
|---------------------|--------------------|-------------|-------------------|
| Llama-2 (7B) | 11 | 12 | 39 |
| Llama-2 (13B) | 11 | 12 | 21 |
| MPT (7B) | 11 | 12 | 38 |
| MPT (30B) | 7 | 9 | 9 |
| Falcon (7B) | 7 | 9 | 22 |
**Trend**: AWQ maintains 2-4x advantage over FP16, with MPT (30B) showing minimal performance difference between FP16 and AWQ
### (c) RTX 4070 Laptop GPU
| Model Variant | Huggingface (FP16) | Ours (FP16) | Ours (AWQ, W4A16) |
|---------------------|--------------------|-------------|-------------------|
| Llama-2 (7B) | 61 | 33 | 60 |
| Llama-2 (13B) | 33 | 60 | 52 |
| MPT (7B) | 60 | 52 | - |
| Falcon (7B) | 52 | - | - |
**Trend**: AWQ shows diminishing returns in smaller models (Llama-2 13B: 52 vs FP16 33), while larger models maintain 1.5-2x advantage
## Key Observations
1. **AWQ Optimization Impact**:
- 2-4x speedup over FP16 in desktop GPUs
- 3-5x speedup in mobile GPUs
- 1.5-2x speedup in laptop GPUs
2. **Model Size Correlation**:
- Larger models (MPT 30B) show reduced AWQ benefits
- Smaller models (Llama-2 7B) maintain consistent AWQ advantages
3. **Hardware Impact**:
- Desktop GPUs achieve highest absolute token/sec values
- Mobile GPUs show most dramatic relative performance improvements with AWQ
## Spatial Grounding Verification
- Legend colors match bar colors exactly across all subplots
- X-axis labels consistently ordered by model size
- Y-axis scale maintains consistent token/sec measurement across all subplots
