Diffusion LLM采样优化:超越GEMM的GPU编程实践
简介
传统的大语言模型(LLM)采用自回归方式逐个生成token,而Diffusion Large Language Models(dLLM)引入了迭代去噪机制,实现并行token生成。然而,最新研究表明,dLLM的采样阶段与传统Transformer的GEMM密集型计算截然不同——采样过程可占据总推理延迟的70%,主要瓶颈在于词表级logits的大规模内存读写、基于归约的token选择,以及迭代掩码更新。
本教程将深入剖析dLLM采样的性能瓶颈,通过CUDA编程实现从基础到优化的完整采样流程。你将学习到:向量化内存访问、原地内存复用、混合精度优化,以及如何针对非GEMM操作进行专门优化。这些技术不仅适用于dLLM,也能应用于其他内存密集型AI推理场景。
核心概念
Diffusion LLM采样流程
与传统LLM的自回归采样不同,dLLM采样包含以下关键步骤:
- 词表级Logits计算:对于长度为L的序列和大小为V的词表(通常V=50k-100k),需要生成L×V的logits矩阵
- Top-K/Top-P选择:对每个位置的V维logits进行归约操作,选出候选token
- 迭代掩码更新:根据置信度阈值,逐步确定最终token,未确定位置进入下一轮迭代
- 去噪步骤:多次迭代(通常5-20步)直到所有位置收敛
性能瓶颈分析
传统NPU针对GEMM(通用矩阵乘法)优化,具有高吞吐的systolic array。但dLLM采样的特点是:
- 内存带宽受限:L×V的logits读写远超计算量(V=50k时,每个位置需200KB数据传输)
- 不规则访问模式:Top-K选择、掩码索引涉及非连续内存访问
- 归约密集:Softmax、Top-K等操作需要在V维度上进行全局归约
- 小批量计算:每次迭代处理的有效token数量随收敛逐渐减少
对比传统Transformer:
- Transformer:GEMM占比>90%,计算密集型,适合systolic array
- dLLM采样:内存操作占比>70%,需要高效的向量处理单元和大容量SRAM

性能分析:
- 时间复杂度:每次迭代O(L×V×log(V)),主要来自Top-K选择
- 内存使用:需要L×V的临时缓冲区存储概率,空间复杂度O(L×V)
- 瓶颈分析:
- Softmax的两次全局归约(max和sum)需要多次同步
- Top-K使用选择排序,复杂度O(K×V),当V=50k时极慢
- 每次迭代都需要完整读写L×V的logits/probs矩阵
- 掩码检查需要CPU-GPU同步,延迟高
版本2:优化实现
针对上述瓶颈,我们进行以下优化:
- 向量化内存访问:使用float4进行合并访问
- Warp级原语:利用warp shuffle减少shared memory使用
- 原地内存复用:Softmax直接在logits缓冲区上操作
- 高效Top-K:使用堆排序算法
- 混合精度:中间计算使用FP16降低带宽需求
