SageAttention2++: A More Efficient Implementation of SageAttention2
Jintao Zhang, Xiaoming Xu, Jia Wei +5
The efficiency of attention is critical because its time complexity grows quadratically with sequence length. SageAttention2 addresses this by utilizing quantization to accelerate…
SageAttention3: Microscaling FP4 Attention for Inference and An Exploration of 8-Bit Training
Jintao Zhang, Jia Wei, Pengle Zhang +6
The efficiency of attention is important due to its quadratic time complexity. We enhance the efficiency of attention through two key contributions: First, we leverage the new FP4…
Accurate INT8 Training Through Dynamic Block-Level Fallback
Pengle Zhang, Jia Wei, Jintao Zhang +2
Transformer models have achieved remarkable success across various AI applications but face significant training costs. Low-bit training, such as INT8 training, can leverage comput…
SageAttention2: Efficient Attention with Thorough Outlier Smoothing and Per-thread INT4 Quantization
Jintao Zhang, Haofeng Huang, Pengle Zhang +3
Although quantization for linear layers has been widely used, its application to accelerate the attention process remains limited. To further enhance the efficiency of attention co…
