Multi-Agent KV-Cache & VRAM Calculator

Calculate memory overhead for parallel agent streams and evaluate required GPU node sizing before deployment.

Formula: 2 × L × H_kv × D_head × Tokens × Agents × Bytes
16 Agents
16,384 Tokens
Estimated VRAM Footprint
8.59 GB

Per-Agent Context Allocation: 536.8 MB

Hardware Capacity Check
1x NVIDIA H100 (80GB) 10.7%
1x RTX 4090 / L4 (24GB) 35.8%
Apple M3/M4 Max UMA (128GB) 6.7%
Note: Displays KV-cache memory only. Add base model weights (e.g., ~140GB for 70B in FP16 or ~35GB in INT4) to estimate total required VRAM.
