Diagonal Batching Unlocks Parallelism in Recurrent Memory Transformers for Long Contexts

Published: 2025-06-05

Link: http://arxiv.org/pdf/2506.05229

1. 📘 Topic and Domain: Optimization of Recurrent Memory Transformers (RMTs) for efficient long-context processing in language models.
2. 💡 Previous Research and New Ideas: Based on existing RMT and Parallel RMT architectures, introducing a novel "Diagonal Batching" technique that reorganizes computation to enable parallel processing.
3. ❓ Problem: Sequential execution bottleneck in RMTs that limits performance when processing long sequences of text.
4. 🛠️ Methods: Implements Diagonal Batching by reorganizing the layer-segment computation grid into concurrent diagonals, allowing up to N_Layers operations per kernel launch while maintaining exact recurrence.
5. 📊 Results and Evaluation: Achieved 3.3x speedup over standard LLaMA-1B and 1.8x speedup over sequential RMT implementation on 131,072-token sequences, while maintaining accuracy with only 1% relative error.
