SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Transformer attention often bottlenecks training and inference due to memory usage and latency on long sequences. Flash Attention provides fast, memory-efficient attention to enable longer contexts and faster runs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Supports PyTorch native SDPA and the flash-attn library for speedups
  • Enables H100 FP8 and sliding window attention for long-context models
  • Applicable to both training and inference workflows to reduce memory footprint

Quick Start

Install flash-attn and configure your model to use Flash Attention for faster, memory-efficient attention during training or inference.

Frequently Asked Questions about optimizing-attention-flash
