Accelerating Generative AI Part III: Diffusion, Fast

This post is the third part of a multi-series blog focused on how to accelerate generative AI models with pure, native PyTorch. We are excited to share a breadth of newly released PyTorch performance features alongside practical examples to see how far we can push PyTorch native performance. In part one, we showed how to accelerate Segment Anything over 8x using only pure, native PyTorch. In part two, we showed how to accelerate Llama-7B by almost 10x using only native PyTorch optimizations. ...

Understanding GPU Memory 2: Finding and Removing Reference Cycles

This is part 2 of the Understanding GPU Memory blog series. Our first post Understanding GPU Memory 1: Visualizing All Allocations over Time shows how to use the memory snapshot tool. In this part, we will use the Memory Snapshot to visualize a GPU memory leak caused by reference cycles, and then locate and remove them in our code using the Reference Cycle Detector.
