Résumé
It uses tiling and online softmax to reduce memory traffic; speed and memory gains depend on sequence length, hardware and implementation.
Plongeur bu xóot
Standard attention compares every token to every other token, producing an N-by-N score matrix that grows quadratically with sequence length. Naively, that matrix is written to and read back from GPU high-bandwidth memory (HBM), and that shuttling — not the multiplications — is the real bottleneck. Flash Attention, introduced by Tri Dao and colleagues in 2022, reorganizes the computation so the matrix is never fully stored. It processes queries, keys, and values in small tiles that fit in fast on-chip SRAM, computes partial results, and stitches them together using an online running-softmax trick. The algorithm computes the same attention operation while reducing high-bandwidth-memory traffic and intermediate storage. It can be faster, especially on long sequences, but measured gains depend on GPU, sequence length, dtype and implementation.

Ëlëgu Flash Attention
FlashAttention-2 and FlashAttention-3 research explores improved work partitioning, asynchronous execution, and hardware-specific low-precision paths. Results depend on the GPU, sequence length, dtype and implementation. These algorithms can reduce memory traffic for dense attention, but they do not remove the underlying query-key pair computations. Benchmark the exact training or serving workload before assuming a speedup.
