Description

FlashAttention-3 accelerates attention on NVIDIA Hopper GPUs through three key innovations. It achieves producer-consumer asynchrony by dividing warps into producer (data loading with TMA) and consumer (computation with asynchronous Tensor Cores) roles, overlapping these critical phases. Second, it hides softmax latency by interleaving softmax operations with asynchronous GEMMs using techniques like pingpong scheduling and intra-warpgroup pipelining. Lastly, FlashAttention-3 leverages hardware-accelerated low-precision FP8 GEMM, employing block quantization and incoherent processing to enhance throughput while mitigating accuracy loss. This summary is based on the provided sources.
