Characterizing and Efficiently Accelerating Multimodal Generation Model Inference
Yejin Lee, Anna Sun, Basil Hosmer +27
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) technology is revolutionizing the computing industry. Not only its applications have broadened to various sectors but also poses new system…
Is Flash Attention Stable?
Alicia Golden, Samuel Hsia, Fei Sun +8
Training large-scale machine learning models poses distinct system challenges, given both the size and complexity of today's workloads. Recently, many organizations training state-…
LayerSkip: Enabling Early Exit Inference and Self-Speculative Decoding
Mostafa Elhoushi, Akshat Shrivastava, Diana Liskovich +10
We present LayerSkip, an end-to-end solution to speed-up inference of large language models (LLMs). First, during training we apply layer dropout, with low dropout rates for earlie…
Generative AI Beyond LLMs: System Implications of Multi-Modal Generation
Alicia Golden, Samuel Hsia, Fei Sun +8
As the development of large-scale Generative AI models evolve beyond text (1D) generation to include image (2D) and video (3D) generation, processing spatial and temporal informati…
