Summary of Changes

Hello @Makcum888e, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request extends the existing profiling infrastructure to seamlessly support Neural Processing Units (NPUs) within diffusion models. By integrating torch_npu specific profiling tools, it enables detailed performance analysis of NPU operations, ensuring that NPU-accelerated workloads can be effectively monitored and optimized.

Highlights

  • NPU Profiling Integration: The pull request introduces support for NPU (Neural Processing Unit) profiling by conditionally importing and applying torch_npu profiler functionalities when running on an NPU platform.
  • Profiler Activity Extension: The Profiler class is updated to include torch_npu.profiler.ProfilerActivity.NPU in its list of monitored activities, enabling NPU-specific performance data collection.
  • NPU Trace Handling: For NPU platforms, the on_trace_ready callback for the profiler is configured to use torch_npu.profiler.tensorboard_trace_handler, facilitating NPU trace visualization in TensorBoard.
  • NPU Synchronization: A torch.npu.synchronize() call is added to ensure all NPU operations are completed before the profiler stops, guaranteeing accurate performance data.
  • Conditional Chrome Trace Export: The export_chrome_trace method is now conditionally executed, skipping the export for NPU platforms, likely due to torch_npu handling its own trace export mechanism.

Code Review

This pull request enables NPU profiling for diffusion models by integrating torch_npu's profiler capabilities. The changes correctly add NPU activity, synchronize before stopping the profiler, and use an NPU-specific trace handler. My review includes two main points. First, the use of an internal _apply_patches API from torch_npu could be brittle; I recommend checking for a public alternative or adding a comment about its necessity. Second, there's a logic issue in the trace export function for the NPU case, which will lead to confusing warnings. I've provided a code suggestion to correct this behavior and ensure accurate logging for the user.
