Ring Attention
一种优化长序列注意力计算的技术，通过分布式环形通信降低Transformer架构处理超长上下文的计算复杂度
Timeline (last 90 days)
Distributed sequence-parallel schemes such as Ring Attention split ultra-long sequences across multiple devices for collaborative processing.
Ultra-long context technologies include ALiBi, extrapolation improvements to RoPE, and distributed attention mechanisms such as Ring Attention, which are used to address the bottleneck of the Transformer attention mechanism's computational complexity scaling quadratically with sequence length.
Context window extension technologies such as NTK-aware scaling of RoPE, ALiBi, and Ring Attention have pushed context length from the early 4K to 128K or even millions of tokens.
Context window extension techniques such as NTK-aware scaling of RoPE, ALiBi, and Ring Attention have pushed context length from the early 4K to 128K or even millions of tokens, but face the limitations of quadratic growth in computational cost and long-range attention decay.
