1. Deploy benchmark instances
2. Install benchmark tools
3. FP16 matrix multiplication benchmark
Test raw compute throughput — run on each instance to compare:4. Memory bandwidth test
5. Check GPU specs
Expected results
Tips
- Run benchmarks 3 times and average — GPU boost clocks vary between runs.
- FP16 matmul tests compute-bound workloads (training). Memory bandwidth tests memory-bound workloads (inference).
- The RTX 4090 offers the best price-to-performance for inference. The H100 is best for training throughput.
