ViDiT-Q: Efficient and Accurate Quantization of Diffusion Transformers for Image and Video Generation

News

[24/07] We release the ViDiT-Q algorithm-level quantization simulation code at https://github.com/thu-nics/ViDiT-Q.

This repo contains the official code of ViDiT-Q: Efficient and Accurate Quantization of Diffusion Transformers for Image and Video Generation

We introduce ViDiT-Q, a quantization method specialized for diffusion transformers. For popular large-scale models (e.g., open-sora, Latte, Pixart-α, Pixart-Σ) for the video and image generation task, ViDiT-Q could achieve W8A8 quantization without metric degradation, and W4A8 without notable visual quality degradation.

ViDiT-Q could generate videos/images with negligible discrepancy with the FP16 baseline:

FP16	Baseline Quant W8A8	ViDiT-Q W8A8

Commands to Run

After running the following commands, the output (ckpt,generated videos) will appear in the ./logs/.

We provide the shell scripts for all process below in t2i/shell_scripts and t2v/shell_scripts. For example, run bash t2v/shell_scripts/get_calib_data.sh $GPU_ID to generate the calibration dataset.

🎬 video generation

0.0 Download and convert checkpoint of the STDiT (OpenSORA) model

Please ref doc of open-sora v1.0 for more details, we only support OpenSORA v1.0 for now, newer versions will be further supported.

Download the OpenSora-v1-HQ-16x512x512.pth from this link

the original opensora code merges the qkv linears into a linear layer with more channels, we split it into 3 layers for quantization.

Put the downloaded OpenSora-v1-HQ-16x512x512.pth in ./logs/split_ckpt, and run t2v/scripts/split_ckpt.py, the converted checkpoint will appear in ./logs/split_ckpt/OpenSora-v1-HQ-16x512x512-split-test.pth'.

python t2v/scripts/split_ckpt.py

0.1. FP16 inference

bash ./t2v/shell_scripts/fp16_inference.sh $GPU_ID: conducting FP16 inference to generate videos using the 10 opensora example prompt, the video will be saved at ./logs/fp16_inference.

we provide the precomputed text_embeds.pth for 10 opensora example prompts in t2v/util_files, which help to avoid loading the t5 ckpts onto GPU (which takes around 1 min, and around 10 GBs of memory) . Please add --precompute_text_embeds ./t2v/utils_files/text_embeds.pth when running command.

CFG="./t2v/configs/opensora/inference/16x512x512.py"  # the opensora config
CKPT_PATH="./logs/split_ckpt/OpenSora-v1-HQ-16x512x512-split.pth"  # your path of splited ckpt

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=$GPU_ID python t2v/scripts/inference.py $CFG --ckpt_path $CKPT_PATH  --outdir $OUTDIR \
--precompute_text_embeds ./t2v/utils_files/text_embeds.pth

1.1 Generate calib data

bash ./t2v/shell_scripts/get_calib_data.sh $GPU_ID: generating the calibration data (store the activations) at $CALIB_DATA_DIR/calib_data.pt for PTQ.

CFG="./t2v/configs/opensora/inference/16x512x512.py" # the opensora config
CKPT_PATH="./logs/split_ckpt/OpenSora-v1-HQ-16x512x512-split.pth"  # splited ckpt
GPU_ID=$1
CALIB_DATA_DIR="./logs/calib_data"  # the path to save your calib dataset

# quant calib data
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=$GPU_ID python t2v/scripts/get_calib_data.py $CFG --ckpt_path $CKPT_PATH --data_num 10 --outdir $CALIB_DATA_DIR --save_dir $CALIB_DATA_DIR \
--precompute_text_embeds ./t2v/utils_files/text_embeds.pth

1.2 Post Training Quantization (PTQ) Process

We provide configs for different quantizaiton techniques, for details of these configs, please refer to our paper. It's worth noting that some techniques are compatible but not applied for higher bitwidth (e.g., W8A8) for simplicity.

bash ./t2v/shell_scripts/ptq.sh $GPU_ID: conducting the PTQ process based on calib data, generate the quantized checkpoint, remember to modify the names for configs and output log:
- CFG: the configuration for opensora inference (we recommend using the same for calib_data generation, PTQ, and quant infernece)
- Q_CFG: the configurations for quantization, we provide example configs in ./t2v/configs/quant/opensora
  - w8a8_naive.yaml: Naive PTQ, tensor-wise static activation quant params
  - w8a8_dynamic.yaml: Dynamic Quant, token-wise, dynamic activation quant params
  - w6a6_naive_cb.yaml: Dynamic Quant + Naive "smooth quant"-like channel balancing (W8A8 performs relatively good without channel balancing, we use W6A6 to demonstrate the effectiveness of channel balancing)
  - w4a8_naive_cb.yaml: Dynamic Quant + Naive "smooth quant"-like channel balancing (naive "smoothquant"-like channel balancing works on W6A6, but fails on W4A8)
  - w4a8_timestep_aware_cb.yaml: Dynamic Quant + Timestep-aware channel balancing
- CALIB_DATA_DIR: the path of calibration data
- OUTDIR: the path of outputs, including quantized checkpoint and copied configs
We show the correspondence between the "ViDiT-Q" plans in the paper and config files as follows:

Plan	CFG Name
ViDiT-Q W8A8	`w8a8_dynamic.yaml`
ViDiT-Q W6A6	`w6a6_naive_cb.yaml`
ViDiT-Q W4A8	`w4a8_timestep_aware_cb.yaml`

the --part_fp denotes skip the quantization of a few layers (they only account for a negligible amount of computation (<1%)), the arg is defined in opensora/utils/config_utils.py, which reads the part_fp_list in quant config (default path is "./t2v/configs/quant/opensora/remain_fp.txt").

1.3 Quantized Model Inference

1.3.1 normal quantized inference

bash ./t2v/shell_scripts/quant_inference.sh $GPU_ID: conduct the quantized model inference based on the existing quant config and quantized checkpoint (specified by the OUTDIR, which is the output path of the PTQ process).

EXP_NAME="w8a8_naive"

CFG="./t2v/configs/quant/opensora/16x512x512.py" # the opensora config

    --dataset_type opensora \
    --part_fp \
    --precompute_text_embeds ./t2v/utils_files/text_embeds.pth \
    # --save_dir $SAVE_DIR \

1.3.2 mixed precision quantized inference

bash ./t2v/shell_scripts/quant_inference_mp.sh $GPU_ID: conduct mixed precision quantized model inference based on the existing quant config and quantized checkpoint (specified by the OUTDIR, which is the output path of the PTQ process), and the mixed precision configurations MP_W_CONFIG, MP_A_CONFIG (the bit-width configuration is determined with heuristic decision based on metric-decoupled sensitivity). The code presents the 🔑 ViDiT-Q W4A8-MP in our paper.
During the PTQ process, quantization parameters for all bitwidth (4,6,8) within the quant config are calculated. Therefore, one could pair the same quantized checkpoint with differnt mixed precision configurations.

EXP_NAME='w4a8_timestep_cb'

CFG="./t2v/configs/quant/opensora/16x512x512.py" # the opensora config

1.3.3. Get Sensitivity (optional)

bash ./t2v/shell_scripts/get_sensitivity.sh $GPU_ID: get the sensitivity of certain layer. We measure the sensitivity of certain layer (block) by solely quantizing them, and measure its influence on output features.

# get the sensitivity through the sensitivity
CFG="./t2v/configs/quant/opensora/16x512x512.py" # the opensora config

Tokenizer and vae weights: [PixArt-alpha: (t5,vae), PixArt-sigma]

0.1 (optional) Precompute the text embedding

The pixart model family adopts the T5-XXL as text encoder, which cost 10GB GPU memory, to save the GPU memory and the long model loading time, we support precompute the text embeddings.

bash ./t2i/shell_scripts/get_text_embeds.sh $GPU_ID: read the prompts from ./t2i/asset/${TXT_NAME}.txt, and save the T5 text embeddings into a file named liketext_embeds_alpha_calib. This file could be specified with the --precompute_text_embeds for further processes.
- We provide 3 prompt lists:
  - calib.txt: the first 64 prompts for pixart example prompts.
  - samples.txt: the complete 120 prompts for pixart example prompts.
  - coco_1024.txt: the first 1024 prompts for coco annotations (used for evaluation).
- The text embeds for pixart-alpha and sigma is the same for less than 120 tokens (pixart-alpha maximum token length 120, pixart-sigma maximum token lengyh 300).

0.1 FP16 Inference

bash ./t2v/shell_scripts/fp16_inference.sh $GPU_ID: FP inference for image generation.
