gpu_poor is an open-source tool designed to help developers determine whether their hardware is capable of running a specific large language model and to estimate the performance they can expect from it. The project focuses on calculating GPU memory requirements and predicted inference speed for different models, hardware configurations, and quantization strategies. By analyzing factors such as model size, context length, batch size, and GPU specifications, the system estimates how much VRAM will be required and how fast tokens can be generated during inference. The tool also provides a detailed breakdown of where GPU memory is allocated, including model weights, KV cache, activations, and other runtime overhead. ...

...To use this app, you need a browser that supports WebGPU, such as Chrome 113 or Chrome Canary. Chrome versions ≤ 112 are not supported. You will need a GPU with about 6.4GB of memory. If your GPU has less memory, the app will still run, but the response time will be slower. The first time you use the app, you will need to download the model. For the Vicuna-7b model that we are currently using, the download size is about 4GB. After the initial download, the model will be loaded from the browser cache for faster usage.
