• Abstract: Diffusion Transformer (DiT)-based video generation models inherently suffer from bottlenecks in long video synthesis and real-time inference, which can be attributed to the use of full spatiotemporal attention. Specifically, this mechanism leads to explosive O(N^2) memory consumption and high first-frame latency. To address these issues, we implement system-level inference optimizations for a causal autoregressive video generation pipeline. We adapt the Self-Forcing causal autoregressive framework to sequence parallel inference and implement a sequence-parallel variant of the causal rotary position embedding which we refer to as Causal-RoPE SP. This adaptation enables localized computation and reduces cross-rank communication in sequence parallel execution. In addition, computation and communication pipelines are optimized through operator fusion and RoPE precomputation. Experiments conducted on an eight GPU A800 cluster show that the optimized system achieves comparable generation quality, sub-second first-frame latency, and near real-time inference speed. For generating five second 480P videos, a 1.58x speedup is achieved, thereby providing effective support for real-time interactive applications.
