🚀 Precompiled xFormers for CUDA 12.4 and PyTorch 2.4 Compatibility

[sashaok123]

I have requested from the developers of xformers, A precompiled version of xFormers that is compatible with CUDA 12.4 and PyTorch 2.4. https://github.com/facebookresearch/xformers/issues/1079

They have compiled precompiled wheels for CUDA 12.4 and PyTorch 2.4 https://github.com/facebookresearch/xformers/actions/runs/10559887009

Now you can fully add xformers to the fresh Forge

Is there a noticeable enough performance boost to want to reinstall with newer pytorch?

Is there a noticeable enough performance boost to want to reinstall with newer pytorch?

With RTX 3090 I'm seeing bit of a boost, when it takes 1.5 seconds per step every little bit helps. But it's also because of great developments in Forge. Tested with Flux GGUF Q8, 20 steps Euler simple at 1024X1024 after 3-4 warm up runs for fastest possible time per image. 2f0555f: Queue/shared was 31.7sec. Async was 33.7 (didn't work well at the time) d339600 --disable-xformers: Queue/shared:28.7sec. Async/Shared: 28.5sec. d339600+xformers: Queue/shared 26.3sec. Async/shared actually isn't any faster now at 26.6-26.8sec.

Yes! Did some benchmarks on my RTX 3070 with Flux Q8, 28steps, euler, simple, 1024x1024: Forge with CUDA 12.1 + Pytorch 2.3.1: 3.61s/it Forge with CUDA 12.4 + Pytorch 2.4: 3.05s/it (15% faster) Forge with CUDA 12.4 + Pytorch 2.4 + xformers: 2.85s/it (21% faster)

can you share your command line args , i'm getting around 2.2 s/it with same config

using COMMANDLINE_ARGS= --xformers --skip-torch-cuda-test --cuda-stream

2.2 definitely seems a bit on the slow side for Q8. I use pretty much the same args usually. Out of curiosity I removed them all, only --xformers remains. The speed was not impacted at all! Maybe it's just because of the simple generation settings? To retest in my current updated commit (stuff changes in 5 days): 1024x1024, Euler Simple, 30 steps, Queue/Shared swap. Model: flux1-dev-Q8_0, Module 1: t5-v1_1-xxl-encoder-Q8_0, Module 2: clip_l, Module 3: ae Console reports 1.3s/it, and after "settling" for 2-3 runs, the fastest time per image was reported at 39.6sec.

Yeah the Triton thing is only for Linux, apparently. It's not a real issue on Windows, you can ignore this message. https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/issues/7115

I'm getting almost exactly the same speed with SDXL (it fluctuates, up to 3.6, but effectively identical to yours) and these settings, so it leaves something weird with Flux. Just to make sure, I'm using the Q8 model from here: https://huggingface.co/city96/FLUX.1-dev-gguf/tree/main Otherwise all the versions seem identical, we get the same startup stuff. Even without xformers it should be quite a bit faster. Just as a sanity check in such cases I like to just git clone a fresh copy and see if there are any differences, maybe erase the VENV folder and let stuff rebuild if the fresh copy was indeed faster. Makes hunting for a specific issue less frustrating.

for who dont know how to install xformers w\ CUDA 12.4 and PyTorch 2.4 and python 3.10

read this

link to download .whl file : https://github.com/facebookresearch/xformers/actions/runs/10559887009

Can you explain how to install the wheel in Forge without a venv (the cuda12.4 / pytorch2.4 .zip on main page)? I know it uses embedded python and sets the paths via environment.bat, but I still can't get pip to work.

EDIT: I think I figured it out, it's the same with ComfyUI's embedded python.

The embedded python.exe is in system\python\python.exe then you just add -m pip install after the .exe

You can laugh at me now.
