feat: run conditional and unconditional CFG in one batched UNet forward - #2085
Conversation
|
@daniandtheweb, hello and thank you, is it possible to make it optional?

Sure. My intention was to make it behave more or less like the diffusers approach by default, but I can add an option to disable it on runtime if needed. I'll work on it later today. |

diffusion_params.xpoints to the localbatched_x, so it becomes dangling when this lambda returns. If the batched forward fails,run_condition()uses that pointer without resetting it. Could we use a separateDiffusionParamsfor the batched call, or restorexbefore falling back? -
We already computed the conditional ControlNet outputs above. Recomputing them here means running ControlNet three times per step instead of two, which could eat into the batching speedup. Can we reuse the existing
controlsand only compute the unconditional outputs here?

- Around line 2735-2741: In sample(), latch a per-call batched CFG failure when
run_batched_condition returns an empty or invalidly shaped result, and emit one
warning at that point. Gate subsequent batched attempts on the latch so later
steps use separate forwards without repeating the costly failed attempt.
- Around line 2642-2648: Update the fallback path around run_batched_condition
and run_condition so the unconditional controls computed by
run_batched_condition are retained and marked ready before run_condition(uncond,
...) executes. Ensure the fallback reuses those controls after a batched failure
or invalid output shape instead of recomputing them.

Reuse unconditional controls in the fallback path.
When the batched path fails or returns an output with an invalid shape, run_condition(uncond, ...) computes the unconditional ControlNet controls again because uncond_controls_ready remains false. This duplicate pass occurs only on fallback steps, not on every step. Preserve the controls computed by run_batched_condition and mark them ready before the unconditional fallback.

A silent batched-path failure doubles the per-step cost.
batch_cfg_ok is evaluated again on every step. If run_batched_condition returns an empty tensor because shapes are incompatible, each step pays for the concatenations and the unconditional ControlNet pass, then runs both separate forwards. If a compute failure such as OOM causes the empty result, the batched forward is retried on every step before the fallback runs. That retry roughly doubles the step time on memory-limited devices, and no log message reports it.
After the first failure, latch a per-sample() flag such as batched_cfg_failed and log one warning.
Proposed fix
- if (batch_cfg_ok) {
+ if (batch_cfg_ok && !batched_cfg_failed) {
sd::Tensor<float> batched_out = run_batched_condition(*positive_condition, c_concat_override);
if (!batched_out.empty() && batched_out.dim() >= 4 && batched_out.shape()[3] == 2) {
...
+ } else {
+ batched_cfg_failed = true;
+ LOG_WARN("batched CFG unavailable; falling back to separate forwards");
}
}Declare bool batched_cfg_failed = false; next to last_progress_us in sample().

Summary
For UNet models (SD 1.x/2.x/SDXL), classifier-free guidance currently runs the conditional and unconditional passes as two separate diffusion forwards per denoising step: two graph builds, two buffer allocations, and two half-utilized batch-1 UNet runs.
This PR batches the two conditions into a single forward with batch dimension 2 and splits the output back into
cond_out/uncond_out.This mirrors the standard diffusers approach: cond/uncond embeddings concatenated into one batch.
The path is taken only when a
batch_cfg_okguard passes, anything else falls back to the original separate runs.Additional Information
