+# xDiT
+
+[xDiT](https://github.com/xdit-project/xDiT) is an inference engine designed for the large scale parallel deployment of Diffusion Transformers (DiTs). xDiT provides a suite of efficient parallel approaches for Diffusion Models, as well as GPU kernel accelerations.
+
+There are four parallel methods supported in xDiT, including [Unified Sequence Parallelism](https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.07719), [PipeFusion](https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.14430), CFG parallelism and data parallelism. The four parallel methods in xDiT can be configured in a hybrid manner, optimizing communication patterns to best suit the underlying network hardware.
+
+Optimization orthogonal to parallelization focuses on accelerating single GPU performance. In addition to utilizing well-known Attention optimization libraries, we leverage compilation acceleration technologies such as torch.compile and onediff.
+
+The overview of xDiT is shown as follows.

+You can install xDiT using the following command:
+
+
+```bash
+pip install xfuser
+```
+
+Here's an example of using xDiT to accelerate inference of a Diffusers model.
+
+```diff
+ import torch
+ from diffusers import StableDiffusion3Pipeline
+
+ from xfuser import xFuserArgs, xDiTParallel
+ from xfuser.config import FlexibleArgumentParser
+ from xfuser.core.distributed import get_world_group
+
+ def main():
++    parser = FlexibleArgumentParser(description="xFuser Arguments")
++    args = xFuserArgs.add_cli_args(parser).parse_args()
++    engine_args = xFuserArgs.from_cli_args(args)
++    engine_config, input_config = engine_args.create_config()
+
+     local_rank = get_world_group().local_rank
+     pipe = StableDiffusion3Pipeline.from_pretrained(
+         pretrained_model_name_or_path=engine_config.model_config.model,
+         torch_dtype=torch.float16,
+     ).to(f"cuda:{local_rank}")
+
+# do anything you want with pipeline here
+
++    pipe = xDiTParallel(pipe, engine_config, input_config)
+
+     pipe(
+         height=input_config.height,
+         width=input_config.height,
+         prompt=input_config.prompt,
+         num_inference_steps=input_config.num_inference_steps,
+         output_type=input_config.output_type,
+         generator=torch.Generator(device="cuda").manual_seed(input_config.seed),
+     )
+
++    if input_config.output_type == "pil":
++        pipe.save("results", "stable_diffusion_3")
+
+if __name__ == "__main__":
+    main()
+
+```
+
+As you can see, we only need to use xFuserArgs from xDiT to get configuration parameters, and pass these parameters along with the pipeline object from the Diffusers library into xDiTParallel to complete the parallelization of a specific pipeline in Diffusers.
+
+xDiT runtime parameters can be viewed in the command line using `-h`, and you can refer to this [usage](https://github.com/xdit-project/xDiT?tab=readme-ov-file#2-usage) example for more details.
+
+xDiT needs to be launched using torchrun to support its multi-node, multi-GPU parallel capabilities. For example, the following command can be used for 8-GPU parallel inference:
+
+```bash
+torchrun --nproc_per_node=8 ./inference.py --model models/FLUX.1-dev --data_parallel_degree 2 --ulysses_degree 2 --ring_degree 2 --prompt "A snowy mountain" "A small dog" --num_inference_steps 50
+```
+
+## Supported models
+
+A subset of Diffusers models are supported in xDiT, such as Flux.1, Stable Diffusion 3, etc. The latest supported models can be found [here](https://github.com/xdit-project/xDiT?tab=readme-ov-file#-supported-dits).
+
+## Benchmark
+We tested different models on various machines, and here is some of the benchmark data.
