LoRA training of 14B model is slow~(40s/it). Observation: The forward pass time varies significantly across different DiT blocks.

Description

Hi, I have tried I2V-14b LoRA training, with gradient_checkpointing=True, use_gradient_checkpointing_offload=False. I noticed that the training speed is approximately 40 seconds per iteration. Is this normal 🤔? (1xA800, without deepspeed)

I further visualize time cost for 1. vae encode, 2. forward and 3. backward stages. I find forward stage will cost about 9 second (and backward is about 2~3 times). Specifically, for total 40 blocks, the first 10 blocks will cost 0.00x second, but the later 30 blocks will cost 0.2 second

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing I2V-14b LoRA training with the stated gradient-checkpointing settings and profiling VAE encode, forward, backward, and individual DiT blocks; done means determining whether the timing is expected and documenting or addressing the cause.
