[GPU] Optimize Image preprocessing by GPU #3063

jade-cho · 2025-11-24T14:03:44Z

Description

Optimize the image preprocessing of the Phi-3.5 Vision model on GPU.

Create ov::Model for image preprocessing.
Combine it to vision encoding model as input.

Copilot

Pull request overview

This PR optimizes image preprocessing for the Phi-3.5 Vision model on GPU by creating an OpenVINO preprocessing model that can be combined with the vision encoding model, moving preprocessing operations from CPU to GPU.

Key changes:

Added GPU preprocessing support controlled by device type and environment variable
Created create_combined_preprocessing_vision_model() to build preprocessing operations as an OpenVINO model
Modified constructor to conditionally compile combined preprocessing+vision model for GPU devices

+        // Output: (1 + num_slices, C, H, W)
+        return std::make_shared<v0::Concat>(NodeVector{global_processed, hd_sliced}, 0);


Seems that the lambda isn't needed. Execute that make_shared directly at place where create_concatenate_batch is called

Convert to standalone function

Why the new model block is used only for GPU?

Modified it following qwen2vl.

Modified to also support CPU.

Does create_combined_preprocessing_vision_model() need to be a member function? Convert to standalone function in anonymous namespace

Can this be implemented in optimum-intel instead? In that case optimum-intel will also get faster and optimum-intel will export the model with the new block, so GenAI won't need to have it

To work on optimum-intel, manager approval is required.

I think there's lack of transparency. I created CVS-177192 in attempt to mitigate that. The problem you are solving here is broader and affects all VLMs. And there seem to be a better and simpler solution involving optimum-intel. It's simpler because Python tends to be simpler then C++.
The reason qwen2vl is implemented that way is that it was specifically optimized for GPU and we didn't think that deep about this problem back then.

Since you already done that partially for Phi-3.5, I suggest finalizing that on optimum-intel side. Let me know if my action is required for manager approval you mentioned.

You posed perf number for CPU and GPU and both improved, so we are good here. For WWB you still need to compare this 0.817479 with the baseline and run the same test for GPU. This can be done using GenAI instead of optimum-intel since you already have the implementation.

Before proceeding, we need @rkazants approval as optimum-intel maintainer. @rkazants, are you OK with the proposal?

@Wovchena This 0.817479 is from GPU test, while using CPU image preprocessing on GPU gives 0.837313. The reason is the mean scaling, and when optimizing CPU image preprocessing, this function was also excluded from optimization. Therefore, I have some questions:

Should this similarity score never decrease? Is a trade-off not acceptable?

What does “baseline” mean? Is there a fixed version of OV and GenAI for baseline?

Is the WWB similarity value for CPU also required?

Minor decrease is possible. I hope it becomes irrelevant after resize is aligned and the model absorbs the difference introduced by mean scaling.

Baseline is the similarity score for the same device on GenAI version without this PR

Yes

CPU with your patch so you should remove this limitation that it's applied to GPU only like you did for performance

@jade-cho, @Wovchena, our team will take this AR to extend optimum-intel.
We need more context about it, Please describe what exactly is needed in optimum-intel. I also sync with @Wovchena today to ask.

@rkazants am I understanding correctly that you will take over this PR to merge into optimum-intel?

@jade-cho, we agreed with @Wovchena do not do it in optimum-intel. We agreed to do such optimization in OpenVINO GenAI side only. Please proceed in this PR.

[nitpick] The comment states 'batch=1' but the actual shape uses '{1, -1, -1, 3}' where batch size is fixed at 1. The comment is accurate for this specific usage, but consider clarifying that the batch dimension is fixed to 1 for this preprocessing pipeline.
