integrated solution
Embedding FlashMLA into an existing PyTorch inference process in three steps:
- Attentional Layer Replacement (ALR)::
- Locate the original model in the
MultiheadAttentionmodule (in software) - Creating Inheritance
nn.ModuleThe packing class of theforward()invokeflash_mla_with_kvcache
- Locate the original model in the
- Data format conversion::
- utilization
torch.nn.functional.padFill input to a multiple of 64 - pass (a bill or inspection etc)
.to(torch.bfloat16)Ensure consistent accuracy
- utilization
- Cache Management::
- Cache Pool Class Management for Implementing LRU Policies
block_table - Trigger automatic truncation for sequences longer than a preset length
- Cache Pool Class Management for Implementing LRU Policies
Debugging Tips
- gradient check: Mixed use of standardized attention for calibration during the training phase
- performance analysis: Use of
nvprofCompare kernel elapsed time before and after integration - Exception handling: Capture
CUDARuntimeErrorand fallback to CPU mode
