MegaSlide-DiT: Memory-Centric Adaptation and Deformable Local Attention for Efficient Video Diffusion

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2607.22696v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: High-resolution video diffusion models built on Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) deliver strong fidelity but quickly exhaust the memory budget of a single workstation. A 100 billion-plus parameter DiT easily requires over a terabyte of persistent state, while naive spatiotemporal self-attention grows quadratically in sequence length. These two walls -- parameter memory and activation memory -- prevent researchers from adapting massive generative models without large GPU clusters. We revisit this problem from a systems perspective and introduce MegaSlide-DiT, a prototype that demonstrates how a pre-trained 105B DiT can be adapted on a single H200 GPU with 1.5 TB of host RAM. Our key insight is that the GPU need not own the model state: all pers
