近期序列建模发展催生了选择性状态空间模型(Selective SSMs),作为Transformer的高效替代,具备理论计算优势。然而,其运行时行为、资源利用及扩展特性仍缺乏系统理解,制约了最优部署与架构改进。本文对Mamba-1和Mamba-2进行系统性能剖析,覆盖64至16384个词元的序列长度,深入分析计算模式、内存访问、I/O特征与扩展性。结果表明,SSM组件在Mamba块中占用了显著计算资源。基于此,提出一种针对低活跃状态的剪枝策略,在适度剪枝下保持精度,实现1.14倍吞吐提升,内存使用降低11.50%。该研究为设计更高效的SSM架构提供了重要依据,可广泛应用于实际场景。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Recent advances in sequence modeling have introduced selective SSMs as promising alternatives to Transformer architectures, offering theoretical computational efficiency and sequence processing advantages. A comprehensive understanding of selective SSMs in runtime behavior, resource utilization patterns, and scaling characteristics still remains unexplored, thus obstructing their optimal deployment and further architectural improvements. This paper presents a thorough empirical study of Mamba-1 and Mamba-2, systematically profiled for performance to assess the design principles that contribute to their efficiency in state-space modeling. A detailed analysis of computation patterns, memory access, I/O characteristics, and scaling properties was performed for sequence lengths ranging from 64 to 16384 tokens. Our findings show that the SSM component, a central part of the selective SSM architecture, demands a significant portion of computational resources compared to other components in the Mamba block. Based on these insights, we propose a pruning technique that selectively removes low-activity states within the SSM component, achieving measurable throughput and memory gains while maintaining accuracy within a moderate pruning regime. This approach results in performance improvements across varying sequence lengths, achieving a 1.14x speedup and reducing memory usage by 11.50\%. These results offer valuable guidance for designing more efficient SSM architectures that can be applied to a wide range of real-world applications.
