A Three-Stage Optimization Approach to Efficient Text Generation
The key to improving the efficiency of Llama3 generation is KV-Cache optimization:
- basic implementation: Use the loop generation framework provided by the project, and pay attention to the settings of the
max_seq_lenAvoid OOM, typical 4096 - Cache Optimization: reuse computed key-value pairs via the
past_key_valuesParameter passing history KV state to avoid double counting - Advanced Techniques: 1) Use memory sharing techniques to reduce copying 2) Use flash attention to optimize attention computation 3) Implement incremental positional coding
Real-world data: On RTX 3090, a reasonable KV-Cache implementation can increase the generation speed of 512 tokens by 3-5 times. Pay attention to balancing memory consumption and computational efficiency. When video memory is insufficient, consider: 1) enabling gradient checkpoints 2) using 8-bit quantization 3) processing long sequences in chunks.
