Researchers from multiple institutions present a comprehensive survey of methods for enhancing the efficiency of diffusion models, addressing their high computational costs and slow generation times. The work establishes a detailed taxonomy categorizing efficiency techniques across algorithmic, system-level, and framework perspectives, providing a structured understanding of advancements in this area.

Key insights

  • Achieving efficiency in diffusion models necessitates a multi-dimensional approach, integrating algorithmic, system-level, and software framework optimizations.
  • Diverse algorithm-level innovations, from latent space utilization and refined loss formulations to efficient sampling solvers and model compression techniques, are crucial for intrinsic performance gains.
  • System-level optimizations, including hardware-software co-design, parallel computing, and caching, significantly enhance the practical deployability and scalability of diffusion models.
