sd-extension-system-info VS AITemplate

I've been using both SD and various LLM on linux without any issue and have done so for months. Windows support is also starting to roll out slowly, with koboldcpp-rocm recently giving me 20-25+t/s for a13B even on windows. you can see what SD performance is like on sites like these. those numbers roughly match what i get on my RX6800 as well (8t/s).

That seems a lot worse than a 2060 SUPER with PyTorch in A1111.

https://vladmandic.github.io/sd-extension-system-info/pages/... (search for 2060 SUPER)

But usually A1111 users use benchmark on this extension https://github.com/vladmandic/sd-extension-system-info

AMD SD = Setup Diaster? it was quite troublesome googling the few linux/amdgpu/rocm/sd vers/configs/params posts online. Also the whole PC may hang during generation which is bad for the harddisk. Your card is way more powerful so may not hang like mine. People are getting 8it/s https://vladmandic.github.io/sd-extension-system-info/pages/benchmark.html

According to system info benchmark, M40 is like 1-2 it/s and P4 is barely better than that.

Anyway to properly "benchmark" the impacts different switches on your image generation speed, it is better to use the benchmarking utility from extension https://github.com/vladmandic/sd-extension-system-info (it also creates a very handy table of results from other users at https://vladmandic.github.io/sd-extension-system-info/pages/benchmark.html for you to compare with.

I can see that the top performance benchmark results on SD WebUI Benchmark Data (using RTX 4090), are obtained through WSL2 running Automatic1111 on a Linux dist and Python 3.10.11, along with PyTorch 2.1.0.dev+cu121 (like benchmark id: 4126)

You should be able to compare based on the published benchmarks, just replicate the settings based on what's reported https://vladmandic.github.io/sd-extension-system-info/pages/benchmark.html

VoltaML is a relatively vanilla diffusers-based backend, so its not a hairy monster to hack like you may have seen with SAI-based UIs.

The AITTemplate code is a lightly modified version of Facebook's example, code, to get rid of small issues like VRAM spikes: https://github.com/facebookincubator/AITemplate/tree/main/ex...

InvokeAI is also diffusers based, but they seem to mess with the pipeline a bit more.

And anyway, all that may be a better reference for interesting features rather than a backend to try and adopt.

let me know if you discover any more ways to improve SD. I am currently looking into facebooks AITemplate : https://github.com/facebookincubator/AITemplate
