前言
你想在昇腾 NPU 上跑 Stable Diffusion 生成图片,UNet 推理一次要 30 秒,别人的 RTX 4090 只要 8 秒。
Stable Diffusion 的 UNet 推理有大量 Conv 和 Attention 操作,瓶颈在算子融合和内存布局。这篇文章手把手带你用 cann-recipes-infer 的配方,把 SD 推理速度提上去。
Stable Diffusion 的推理瓶颈
SD 推理流程
文本编码 → UNet 迭代推理 → VAE 解码 → 图片输出
UNet 内部:
输入 latent → 多次 Cross Attention → 多次 Conv → 残差连接
每次迭代耗时 ~500ms
50 步迭代 = 25 秒
各阶段耗时占比(未优化)
| 阶段 | 耗时 | 占比 |
|---|---|---|
| 文本编码 | 100ms | 1% |
| UNet 推理 | 25000ms | 98% |
| VAE 解码 | 400ms | 1% |
| 其他 | 100ms | <1% |
UNet 是绝对瓶颈。

)
# 导出 UNet 为 ONNX
unet = pipe.unet
unet.eval()
# 准备输入
latent_model_input = torch.randn(1, 4, 64, 64)
text_embeds = torch.randn(1, 77, 768)

方案3:ATB 融合方案(性能最优)

性能对比
各方案性能
| 方案 | 单图耗时 | 质量 | 配置难度 |
|---|---|---|---|
| PyTorch 原生(CPU) | 120s | 原始 | 低 |
| PyTorch 原生(NPU) | 30s | 原始 | 低 |
| 图优化(auto fusion) | 12s | 接近原始 | 中 |

性能 Profiling
python
# 6_profiling.py
import cann
# 开启性能分析
with cann.profiler.Profile("unet_profile.json") as prof:
for i in range(100):
result = unet.forward(latent, timestep, prompt)
# 分析报告
prof.report()
# 示例输出:
# Operator breakdown:
# Conv2d: 4500ms (36%)
# MatMul: 3000ms (24%)
# GroupNorm: 2000ms (16%)
# SiLU: 1500ms (12%)
# Other: 1500ms (12%)
VAE 加速
VAE 解码也是瓶颈之一:
python
# vae 加速
vae_om = cann.load_model("vae_decoder.om")
# 开启 batch 推理
vae_om.set_option("batch_mode", True)
# VAE 多 tile 并行(如果显存够)
vae_om.set_option("num_tiles", 2)
总结
SD 推理加速的关键点:
- UNet 是瓶颈:优化 UNet = 优化整个 SD
- ATB 融合效果最好:Cross Attention 融合能省 30%
- 减少推理步数:20 步 vs 50 步视觉差异不大,时间减半
- 混合精度:FP16 推理速度是 FP32 的 2 倍
- 开启图优化 Pass:常量折叠、内存复用都开
最终效果:原生 30s → 优化后 8s,提速 73%。
SD 推理常见问题
问题1:UNet 转 OM 后精度掉了
python
# 精度对比脚本
import numpy as np
def compare_precision(torch_output, om_output):
# 归一化对比
diff = np.abs(torch_output - om_output)
relative_diff = diff / (np.abs(torch_output) + 1e-6)
print(f"Max abs diff: {diff.max():.6f}")
print(f"Mean abs diff: {diff.mean():.6f}")
print(f"Max relative diff: {relative_diff.max():.4f}")
# 如果 max relative diff < 1%,精度基本没问题
return relative_diff.max() < 0.01
问题2:VAE 解码结果有瑕疵
python
# VAE 解码优化
# 方案1:VAE Tiling(避免显存不够导致的处理错误)
vae.enable_tiling(tile_height=512, tile_width=512)
# 方案2:使用最新的 VAE 版本
# 不同版本的 VAE 精度有差异
问题3:生图速度比预期慢
python
# 排查步骤:
# 1. 检查是否用了混合精度
assert model.dtype == torch.float16
# 2. 检查 UNet 是否真的在 NPU 上跑
# (而不是 CPU fallback)
assert model.device.type == "npu"
# 3. 开启 profiling 确认瓶颈
with cann.profiler.Profile():
result = model.forward(latent, timestep, embeds)
问题4:Batch 推理显存 OOM
python
# Batch 推理显存控制
# 如果显存不够,减少 batch size
max_batch_size = estimate_max_batch_size(total_memory_gb=32, model_size_gb=4)
# 或者开启动态 batch
model.set_option("dynamic_batch", True)
model.set_option("max_dynamic_batch", 4)
进阶:ControlNet + SD 推理
