Llama.cpp MIPS R8000 Kernel Running on an SGI Power Challenge from 1995
Whew! Big work today getting optimized llama.cpp MIPS R8000 kernel running on the SGI Power Challenge deskside from 1995 with Gemma 3 270M. Went from 0.16 to 0.5 tok/s with a combination of MIPSPro compiler and manual asm optimizations. Not bad for 30 year old hardware. 1/ https://t.co/ju54yLuj7R
