llama.cpp -sm tensor improvement

·2026.04.30 02:50

Key point

With a 2x RTX 3090 Ti setup, applying `-sm tensor` increased llama-bench throughput.

Details

llama-bench results targeting Qwen3.6-27B-UD-Q4_K_XL.gguf were shared.

  • On a single RTX 3090 Ti setup, with -fa 1, it recorded pp512 1580.12 t/s and tg128 44.43 t/s.
  • On a 2x RTX 3090 Ti setup, with CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 and -fa 1 -sm tensor combined, it went up to pp512 2047.28 t/s and tg128 58.83 t/s.
  • Both results used the same build 665abc609 (8951).

The post notes that just a few weeks ago, llama-bench didn't work on the -sm tensor path, suggesting that this multi-GPU path has recently been improved.
