AoiZora: Topology-Aware Auto-Parallel Optimization for Inference of Diffusion Transformers

arXiv:2606. 17566v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Video diffusion has quickly grown into a key generative serving workload, yet producing each clip demands many denoising iterations over large spatio-temporal latents, which puts low-latency inference out of reach on a single device.

Kaleido: Algorithm-Hardware Co-Design for Video Diffusion Transformers by Exploiting Latent Space Correlations

arXiv:2607. 13770v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Video diffusion transformers (vDiTs) generate high quality video but introduce extremely high compute cost due to the long diffusion timesteps and self attention computation.

Accelerating Video Diffusion via Training-Free Trajectory Routing

The paper introduces TRACK, a training‑free trajectory routing method that accelerates video diffusion by selectively switching between large and small models during denoising steps. A calibration process generates a disagreement score map, guiding the selection of the appropriate model at each step to maintain quality while reducing computational cost. Experiments on Wan 2.1, Cosmos 3, TurboDiffusion, and FastVideo show speedups ranging from 1.95× to 2.73× with comparable quality and diversity.

Pre-Compiled Pipeline Shards for Distributed LLM Inference on Intel AI PC Fleets

The paper presents a method for distributing large language model inference across multiple Intel AI PCs by splitting the model into pipeline shards, each pre‑compiled into an OpenVINO graph. Three key techniques—beam_idx Gather to enable GPU optimizations, speculative decoding on stateful models, and interleaved micro‑batching—allow a two‑node Llama 3.1 8B INT4 pipeline to serve two users at 1.79× the throughput of a single‑node model, while a four‑node deployment can run a 70B model that no single PC can hold. The authors provide code, benchmark logs, and reproduction scripts on GitHub.
