- fastvideo-kernel/wan22_vae_decode: the Wan2.2 (TI2V-5B) VAE decoder on sm_100a / sm_103a at 704x1248, built on
first use against fastvideo-kernel's CUTLASS submodule. It frees intermediates early and carries 4 latent frames
per pass: a 5 s video peaks at 20.3 GiB, down from 94.6 GiB in the kernel's first version, with the same output.
- WanVAEConfig.decode_kernel routes AutoencoderKLWan.decode through it where it applies (bf16 with fp32
accumulation, about 7x faster than the fp32 decode on a B300, PSNR 61-63 dB, SSIM 0.998 against it);
decode_kernel_parallel splits the decode over the sequence-parallel group (2, 4 or 8 GPUs) and broadcasts the
video, with the ranks agreeing on whether every one of them could build the kernel.
- PAN2's DiT runs fused Triton kernels for Q/K RMSNorm + RoPE and LayerNorm + modulation (pan2_fusions,
set_fused_kernels).
- PAN2PipelineConfig turns all three on (vae_decode_kernel, vae_decode_kernel_parallel, dit_fused_kernels).
- VideoGenerator copies a decoded RGB video's frames to the host once instead of once per frame.
- The PAN2 presets sample at guidance 2.5, the reference launcher's default since 2026-10-23.
