New preprint out with colleagues from MIT! "Striped Attention: Faster Ring Attention for Causal Transformers" arxiv.org/abs/2311.09431 We introduce a simple extension to the recent Ring Attention algorithm for distributed long-context attention, and see speedups up to 1.65x! 1/
Speedup plot from the Striped Attention paper, showing up to 1.65x speedups over Ring Attention at sequence lengths >750k

Performance plot from the Striped Attention paper, showing roughly 40% improvements in end-to-end training throughput at a sequence length of 256k

I'm genuinely excited by this CPython plan: The idea is to generate the bytecode dispatch loop out of a DSL that describes the stack effect and semantics of bytecodes: github.com/python/cpython/is…

Generate the interpreter · Issue #98831 · python/cpython

Overview Over in faster-cpython/ideas we've been exploring the idea of generating the interpreter from a set of instruction definitions. This will eventually enable having multiple versions of ...

Python 3.12 will add support for the Linux perf profiler! 🔥🔥 Perf is one of the most powerful and performant profilers for Linux that allows getting a ridiculous amount of information such as CPU counters, cache misses, context switching and much more. 🧵👇
