Triton-Based Optimization of Video Sparse Attention on ROCm

AMD has released a Triton-based optimization for video sparse attention on its ROCm platform, targeting Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) used in video generation. The implementation reduces the quadratic cost of full self-attention by approximating token interactions, improving training and inference efficiency on AMD GPUs.

Video generation has become a major frontier in generative modeling, driven by large-scale data and increasingly scalable architectures. Among modern architectures, Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) have emerged as a dominant paradigm [1,2,3,4] by representing videos as spatio-temporal token sequences, enabling long-range interactions across frames and spatial regions, as well as flexible multimodal conditioning with text or audio. However, full self-attention scales quadratically with token count, making it increasingly expensive as spatio-temporal resolution and model size grow. Video sparse attention (VSA) [5,6] mitigates this cost by approximating full attention with a subset of informative token interactions, but its practical efficiency in both training and inference depends heavily on hardware-aware Triton kernel implementations.
