Use the RAM right up to the wire as the community is bit accustomed too.
This trades off headroom for the case where large chunky intermediates
arrive and potenitally hits pagefile/swap, but a lot of people have
"it just fits" workflows out there, so strike a compromise with
75->90%.
Disable the incative cache for all but the very high RAM users.
* ModelPatcherDyanmic: purge stale vbar allocs on force cast
* ModelPatcherDynamic: restore backups before load
If doing a clean reload, mutative changes (lora application) could be
applied on-top of the already loaded weight. Restore from backup
unconditionally so that the new load is clean.
* model_management: disable non-dynamic smart memory
Disable smart memory outright for non dynamic models.
This is a minor step towards deprecation of --disable-dynamic-vram
and the legacy ModelPatcher.
This is needed for estimate-free model development, where new models
can opt-out of supplying a memory estimate and not have to worry
about hard VRAM allocations due to legacy non-dynamic model patchers
This is also a general stability increase for a lot of stray use cases
where estimates may still be off and going forward we are not going
to accurately maintain such estimates.
* pinned_memory: implement with aimdo growable buffer
Use a single growable buffer so we can do threaded pre-warming on
pinned memory.
* mm: use aimdo to do transfer from disk to pin
Aimdo implements a faster threaded loader.
* Add stream host pin buffer for AIMDO casts
Introduce per-offload-stream HostBuffer reuse for pinned staging,
include it in cast buffer reset synchronization.
Defer actual casts that go via this pin path to a separate pass
such that the buffer can be allocated monolithically (to avoid
cudaHostRegister thrash).
* remove old pin path
* Implement JIT pinned memory pressure
Replace the predictive pin pressure mechanism with JIT PIN memory
pressure.
* LowVRAMPatch: change to two-phase visit
* lora: re-implement as inplace swiss-army-knife operation
* prepare for multiple pin sets
* implement pinned loras
* requirements: comfy-aimdo 0.4.0
* ops: remove unused arg
This was defeatured in aimdo iteration
* ops: sync the CPU with only the offload stream activity
This was syncing with the offload stream which itself is synced with the
compute stream, so this was syncing CPU with compute transitively. Define
the event to sync it more gently.
* pins: implement freeing intermediate for pinned memory
Pinning is more important than inactive intermediates and the stream
pin buffer is more important than even active intermediates.
* execution: implement pin eviction on RAM presure
Add back proper pin freeing on RAM pressure
* implement pin registration swaps
Uncap the windows pins from 50% by extending the pool and have a pressure
mechanism to move the pin reservations om demand.
This unfortunately implies a GPU sync to do the freeing so significant
hysterisis needs to be added to consolidate these pressure events.
* cli_args/execution: Implement lower background cache-ram threshold
Limit the amount of RAM background intermediates can use, so that
switching workflows doesn't degrade performance too much.
* make default
* bump aimdo
* model-patcher: force-cast tiny weights
Flux 2 gets crazy stalls due to a mix of tiny and giant weights
creating lopsided steam buffer rotations which creates stalls.
* ops: refactor in prep for chunking
* mm: delegate pin-on-the-way to aimdo
Aimdo is able to chunk and slice this on the way for better CPU->GPU
overlap. The main advantage is the ability to shorten the bus contention
window between previous weight transfer and the next weights vbar
fault.
* bump aimdo
* pinning updates
* specify hostbuf max allocation size
There a signs of virtual memory exhaustion on some linux systems when
throwing 128GB for every little piece. Pass the actual to save aimdo
from over-estimates
* tests: update execution tests for caching
The default caching changed to ram-cache so update these tests
accordingly.
Remove the LRU 0 test as this also falls through to RAM cache.
* Initial HiDream01-image support
* Cleanup nodes
* Cleaner handling of empty placeholder models
* Remove snap_to_predefined, prefer tooltip for the trained resolutions
* Add model and block wrappers
* Fix shift tooltip
* Add node to work around the patch tile issue
Experimental, runs multiple passes with the patch grid offset and blends with various different methods.
* Qwen35 vision rotary_pos_emb cast fix
* Fix embedding layout type
* Some small optimizations
* Cleanup, don't need this fallback
* Prefix KV cache, cleanup
Bit of speed, reduce redundant code
* Get rid of redundant custom sampler, refactor noise scaling
Our existing lcm sampler is mathematically same, just added the missing options to it instead and a node to control them. Refactored the noise scaling and fix it for the stochastic samplers, add a generic node to control the initial noise scale.
* Update nodes_hidream_o1.py
* Fix some cache validation cases
* Keep existing sampling params
* Remove redundant video vision path
* Replace some numpy ops with torch
* Fx RoPE index for batch size > 1
* Prefer torch preprocessing
* Rename block_type to be compatible with existing patch nodes
* Fixes and tweaks
* initial WanDancer support
* nodes_wandancer: Add list form of chunker.
Create an alternate list form of the node so the chunk gens can be
trivially looped by the comfy executor.
* Closer match to original soxr resampling
* Remove librosa node
* Cleanup

If the same weight is used multiple times within the same prefetch
window, it should only apply compute state mutations once. Mark the
weight as fully resident on the first pass accordingly.
* initial gemma4 support
* parity with reference implementation
outputs can 100% match transformers with same sdpa flags, checkpoint this and then optimize
* Cleanup, video fixes
* cleanup, enable fused rms norm by default
* update comment
* Cleanup
* Update sd.py
* Various fixes
* Add fp8 scaled embedding support
* small fixes
* Translate think tokens
* Fix image encoder attention mask type
So it works with basic attention
* Handle thinking tokens different only for Gemma4
* Code cleanup
* Update nodes_textgen.py
* Use embed scale class instead of buffer
Slight difference to HF, but technically more accurate and simpler code
* Default to fused rms_norm
* Update gemma4.py
* mm: Use Aimdo raw allocator for cast buffers
pytorch manages allocation of growing buffers on streams poorly. Pyt
has no windows support for the expandable segments allocator (which is
the right tool for this job), while also segmenting the memory by
stream such that it can be generally re-used. So kick the problem to
aimdo which can just grow a virtual region thats freed per stream.
* plan
* ops: move cpu handler up to the caller
* ops: split up prefetch from weight prep block prefetching API
Split up the casting and weight formating/lora stuff in prep for
arbitrary prefetch support.
* ops: implement block prefetching API
allow a model to construct a prefetch list and operate it for increased
async offload.
* ltxv2: Implement block prefetching
* Implement lora async offload
Implement async offload of loras.
* pinned_memory: remove JIT RAM pressure release
This doesn't work, as freeing intermediates for pins needs to be
higher-priority than freeing pins-for-pins if and when you are going
to do that. So this is too late as pins-for-pins is model load time
and we dont have JIT pins-for-pins.
* cacheing: Add a filter to only free intermediates from inactive wfs
This is to get priorities in amongst pins straight.
* mm: free inactive-ram from RAM cache first
Stuff from inactive workflows should be freed before anything else.
* caching: purge old ModelPatchers first
Dont try and score them, just dump them at the first sign of trouble
if they arent part of the workflow.
the mixed_precision ops can have input_scale parameters that are used
in tensor math but arent a weight or bias so dont get proper VRAM
management. Treat these as force-castable parameters like the non comfy
weight, random params are buffers already are.
On Windows with aimdo enabled, disable_weight_init.Linear uses lazy
initialization that sets weight and bias to None to avoid unnecessary
memory allocation. This caused a crash when copy_() was called on the
None weight attribute in Stable_Zero123.__init__.
Replace copy_() with direct torch.nn.Parameter assignment, which works
correctly on both Windows (aimdo enabled) and other platforms.
Skip unnecessary clone of inference-mode tensors when already inside
torch.inference_mode(), matching the existing guard in set_attr_param.
The unconditional clone introduced in 20561aa9 caused transient VRAM
doubling during model movement for FP8/quantized models.
* mm: Lower windows pin threshold
Some workflows have more extranous use of shared GPU memory than is
accounted for in the 5% pin headroom. Lower this for safety.
* mm: Remove pin count clearing threshold.
TOTAL_PINNED_MEMORY is shared between the legacy and aimdo pinning
systems, however this catch-all assumes only the legacy system exists.
Remove the catch-all as the PINNED_MEMORY buffer is coherent already.
There was an issue where the resample split was too early and dropped one
of the rolling convolutions a frame early. This is most noticable as a
lighting/color change between pixel frames 5->6 (latent 2->3), or as a
lighting change between the first and last frame in an FLF wan flow.
The recent PR that added resize_cond_for_context_window methods to
model classes used inline 'import comfy.context_windows' in each
method body. This moves that import to the top-level import section,
replacing 4 duplicate inline imports with a single top-level one.
* Add slice_cond and per-model context window cond resizing
* Fix cond_value.size() call in context window cond resizing
* Expose additional advanced inputs for ContextWindowsManualNode
Necessary for WanAnimate context windows workflow, which needs cond_retain_index_list = 0 to work properly with its reference input.
