Title: EdgeDiT: Hardware-Aware Diffusion Transformers for Efficient On-Device Image Generation

Abstract:
arXiv:2603.28405v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion Transformers (DiT) have established a new state-of-the-art in high-fidelity image synthesis; however, their massive computational complexity and memory requirements hinder local deployment on resource-constrained edge devices. In this paper, we introduce EdgeDiT, a family of hardware-efficient generative transformers specifically engineered for mobile Neural Processing Units (NPUs), such as the Qualcomm Hexagon and Apple Neural Engine (
