HAP: Hybrid Adaptive Parallelism for Efficient Mixture-of-Experts Inference
Haoran Lin, Xianzhi Yu, Kang Zhao +7
Current inference systems for Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models primarily employ static parallelization strategies. However, these static approaches cannot consistently achieve optim…
FastAttention: Extend FlashAttention2 to NPUs and Low-resource GPUs
Haoran Lin, Xianzhi Yu, Kang Zhao +17
FlashAttention series has been widely applied in the inference of large language models (LLMs). However, FlashAttention series only supports the high-level GPU architectures, e.g.,…
Beyond 2:4: exploring V:N:M sparsity for efficient transformer inference on GPUs
Kang Zhao, Tao Yuan, Han Bao +6
To date, 2:4 sparsity has stood as the only sparse pattern that can be accelerated using sparse tensor cores on GPUs. In practice, 2:4 sparsity often possesses low actual speedups…
FlatQuant: Flatness Matters for LLM Quantization
Yuxuan Sun, Ruikang Liu, Haoli Bai +10
Recently, quantization has been widely used for the compression and acceleration of large language models (LLMs). Due to the outliers in LLMs, it is crucial to flatten weights and…
