# Decoding Attention
Decoding Attention is specially optimized for Multi-Head Attention (MHA), Multi-Query Attention (MQA), Grouped-Query Attention (GQA) and Multi-Head Latent Attention  (MLA) using CUDA core for the decoding stage of LLM inference. It mainly refers to OpenPPL and Flash Attention, which can solve the problem of low tensor core utilization of Flash Attention in the decoding stage of LLM inference and support more types of attention and kv cache quantization optimization. The calculation expression is as follows, where the precision of tensor Q, K, V and O is FP16 or BF16. In some LLM inference decoding scenarios, the performance of Decoding Attention is better than Flash Decoding (Flash Attention) and FlashInfer. In addition, Decoding Attention also supports variable length and ALiBi inference scenarios.
```
O = Softmax(Q * K^T) * V
```
