Researchers have developed TileShare, a novel method to accelerate the decoding process for Vision Transformer (ViT) models without requiring additional training. This technique addresses the computational redundancy in fixed-window ViT decoders, where overlapping tiles lead to duplicated processing. By intelligently blending results from overlapping tokens into a shared state and selectively keeping a few layers per tile, TileShare significantly reduces computation. This approach achieves faster decoding speeds, up to 1.96x with FP8, while maintaining comparable or improved performance metrics such as PSNR, LPIPS, and DISTS on various video and image datasets.
