Frequently Asked Engineering Questions (FAQ)
How does batch size impact peak VRAM utilization?
Activations and KV-cache scale linearly with batch size, requiring proportional GPU memory buffer allocations.
What is the role of gradient checkpointing?
Gradient checkpointing recomputes activations during backward passes, reducing memory by up to 60% at the cost of ~25% compute overhead.
Can FlashAttention eliminate sequence length memory explosions?
Yes, FlashAttention-2 and FlashAttention-3 avoid materializing the N×N attention matrix in HBM, reducing memory complexity from quadratic O(N²) to linear O(N).
