Switch Diffusion Transformer: Synergizing Denoising Tasks with Sparse Mixture-of-Experts

This repository contains the official pytorch implementation of the paper: "Switch Diffusion Transformer: Synergizing Denoising Tasks with Sparse Mixture-of-Experts". In this repository, we release codes for the improved version of DiT and DTR with the sparse mixture-of-experts.

Updates

• 2024.03.14: Initial Release.

Setup

We use 8 80GB A100 GPUs for all experiments.

python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
cd models/parallel_linear
python3 -m pip install .
cd ../..

Training Switch-DiT

We provide an example training script for ImageNet.

torchrun --nnodes=1 --nproc_per_node=8 train.py general.data_path='<PATH_TO_DATASET>'

You can also modify the Switch-DiT model, optimization type, etc.

torchrun --nnodes=1 --nproc_per_node=8 train.py \
general.data_path='<PATH_TO_DATASET>' \
general.loss_weight_type="uw" \
models.name="DiT-L/2" \

Sampling Switch-DiT

After training, the checkpoint and log files are saved based on the configuration. Consequently, you need to execute the sampling script using the same configuration as the training script. Additionally, you can adjust the number of sampling images and the classifier-guidance scale.

torchrun --nnodes=1 --nproc_per_node=8 sample_ddp.py \
general.loss_weight_type="uw \
models.name="DiT-L/2" \
eval.cfg_scale=1.5 \
eval.num_fid_samples=50000

Please refer to the example scripts for detailed instructions how to reproduce our results. In this script, we enumerate the configurations that can be modified if needed.

Results

Our Switch-DiT achieves consistent performance improvements on the ImageNet dataset.
