# Flash Attention - Fast Memory-Efficient Attention

## Quick start

Flash Attention provides 2-4x speedup and 10-20x memory reduction for transformer attention through IO-aware tiling and recomputation.

**PyTorch native (easiest, PyTorch 2.2+)**:
```python
import torch
import torch.nn.functional as F

q = torch.randn(2, 8, 512, 64, device='cuda', dtype=torch.float16)  # [batch, heads, seq, dim]
k = torch.randn(2, 8, 512, 64, device='cuda', dtype=torch.float16)
v = torch.randn(2, 8, 512, 64, device='cuda', dtype=torch.float16)
