Notes

conc-4 MTP point of the Qwen3.6-27B NVFP4 sweep — paired with the matched base -c4 for the base-vs-MTP speedup-decay curve (EXPERIMENTS.md #14).

  • Result (conc 4): prefill 68.39 / decode 67.76 tok/s aggregate; 0 errors; peak mem 108.1 GB.
  • MTP speedup at conc-4: +90.7% (67.76 vs base 35.54) — the dense 27B holds a near-2× MTP win right up through conc-4. The decay is now traced end to end: +80.6% (c1) → +97.0% (c2) → +90.7% (c4) → +62.6% (c8) — the win stays huge while the base is still bandwidth-bound (c1–c4) and only starts eroding once the batch begins filling the compute at c8, far above the 35B-A3B MoE’s ~+20–40% band.
  • Acceptance ~70%, accept-len ~3.1-of-3 (per-position 0.86/0.70/0.55) — batch-stable vs the -c2 (~68%) and -c8 (~71%) rows; MTP acceptance here is workload-driven, not concurrency-sensitive.
  • Sweep: base -c4 · MTP -c1 · -c2 · -c8 · -c16 · c32.
