Spatially Incremental Generative Engine (SIGE)

Paper | Project | Slides | YouTube | Bilibili

[NEW!] SIGE supports Stable Diffusion and Mac MPS backend! We also release the codes of an interactive demo for DDPM on M1 Macbook Pro!

[NEW!] SIGE is accepted by NeurIPS 2022! Our code and benchmark datasets are publicly available!

We introduce Spatially Incremental Generative Engine (SIGE),an engine that selectively performs computations at the edited regions for image editing applications. The computation and latency are measured for a single forward. For the above examples, SIGE significantly reduces the computation of SDEdit with DDPM (4-6x) and Stable Diffusion (8x), and GauGAN (15x) while preserving the image quality. When combined with existing model compression methods such as GAN Compression, it further reduces the computation of GauGAN by 47x. On NVIDIA RTX 3090, SIGE achieves up to 7.2x speedups.

Demo

SIGE achieves 2x less conversion time compared to original DDPM on M1 MacBook Pro GPU as we selectively perform computation on the edited regions.

Overview

Tiling-based sparse convolution overview. For each convolution F_l in the network, we wrap it into SIGE Conv_l. The activations of the original image are already pre-computed. When getting the edited image, we first compute a difference mask between the original and edited image and reduce the mask to the active block indices to locate the edited regions. In each SIGE Conv_l, we directly gather the active blocks from the edited activation A_l^edited according to the reduced indices, stack the blocks along the batch dimension, and feed them into F_l. The gathered blocks have an overlap of width 2 if F_l is 3×3 convolution with stride 1. After getting the output blocks from F_l, we scatter them back into F_l(A_l^original) to get the edited output, which approximates F_l(A_l^edited).

Performance

Efficiency

With 1.2% edits, SIGE could reduce the computation of DDPM, Progressive Distillation and GauGAN by 7-18x, achieve a 2-4x speedup on NVIDIA RTX 3090, 3-5x speedup on Apple M1 Pro GPU and 4-14x on M1 Pro CPU. When combined with GAN Compression, it further reduces 50x computation on GauGAN, achieving 38x speedup on M1 Pro CPU. Please check our paper for more details and results.

Quality

Qualitative results under different edit sizes. PD is Progressive Distillation. Our method well preserves the visual fidelity of the original model without losing global context.

More qualitative results of Stable Diffusion on both image inpainting and editing, measured on NVIDIA RTX 3090.
