Flash attention v2 was released last week and it is claimed to give good speed up compared to existing implementations. I integrated flash v2 into our Relax CUTLASS BYOC and got 2-3 iter / sec speed up on SD v1.5 UNet compared to our existing flow that uses the xformer kernel.
The original code depends on libtorch so it is hard to integrate. A version without torch dep was created in https://github.com/tlc-pack/libflash_attn and I'm adding it as a submodule.
