Oliver Simons 7677678503 CUDA: Make CCCL configurable + pin it to 3.4.3 for CI jobs (#29792)
Pinning to >= 3.4.3 is required to enable DeviceTopK, which was affected by
a race condition https://github.com/NVIDIA/cccl/pull/10627.

We will relax this for future CTK versions which will bundle CCCL >
3.4.X (CTK 13.5 will bundle CCCL 3.5.0 for example)

Oliver Simons bf0040e15f CI: Use LLVM's OpenMP over MSVC_DEBUG_non_redist on Windows (#26678)
* CI: Use LLVM's OpenMP over MSFT_DEBUG_non_redist on Windows

Currently, we ship the non-redist debug version of microsoft's libomp.
This PR changes this to official LLVM's release, also packaging
the license as needed.

* Remove LLVM SHA from job name to increase legibility

* Add temp validations to CI

* Revert "Add temp validations to CI"

This reverts commit eef97c88b5bac280803ebb3c3b7bb09f89b0fd88.

* Build OpenMP in CI

* Make OpenMP fetch self-contained in cmake and cache in CI

* Robustify Licens-packaging

1. Ship OpenMP license, not LLVM's.
2. Invalidate cache also on checksum of the license

* Remove stale reference in docs/build.md

* No longer package base license in release

This was scope-creep

* Add explanatory comment to OpenMP license

* Remove arm64 smoke

Forgot this during conflict resolution during rebase of
c54c0e9cf6030a5a54ce8bdd81b3e146d9787d42

* Remove GGML_OPENMP_FETCH_CACHE_DIR as requested by @CISC

* whitespace changes

Oliver Simons 9bd4c09ea5 CUDA: Fix data-races when reusing SMEM in block_reduce (#26385)
* CUDA: Fix data-races when reusing block_reduce

block_reduce currently doesn't resync after reading from SMEM, causing
potential data-races when reusing SMEM for multiple reductions.

One may consider simply always adding this in block_reduce, but this
comes at a potential perf cost

* double-buffering for single-row softmax

* double-buffering for norm as well

* Add comment

* Add explanatory comment to block_reduce

* Specify need for + do memory barrier only in multi-warp scenario

* Implement review-suggestion from @gaugarg-nv

Oliver Simons 1a064ab092 CUDA: Improve NVFP4 W4A4 activation quantization (#25730)
* Squash history before conflict-resolution during rebase on master

WIP commit

Add 32-byte loads, restore per-block amax

Use nvfp4x4 intrinsic when available

Fuse per-channel amax and quantization kernels

Do pointer arithmetic only once on x

Remove unnecessary ternary in the load

We assert on host side that ne00 is 64-aligned

Add back scale-search, but optimize it with intrinsics

Code cleanup

Make scale in MMQ-epilogue NVFP4-specific/restrictive for now

Remove unneeded include, add comment

Fix trailing whitespace

Guard __builtin_align__(32) struct to NVIDIA

Seems like HIP doesn't have this available, see https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/actions/runs/29438651734/job/87431623001

* compiler massaging to avoid unnecessary LDCs

* kvalues_mxfp4 -> kvalues_nvfp4 in quantize_mmq_nvfp4

* Always pass in src1_scale.ptr

* Extract ggml_cuda_is_aligned helper

Oliver Simons f84a519403 Refactor: Consistently use smart pointers in test-backend-ops (#25440)
* Use smart pointers in test_case::eval

This makes it consistent with other methods of `test_case`.

* Use smart pointer in show_test_coverage also

* Also use smart pointers for backends

Oliver Simons 683f0c72e5 Only index by compile times + always multiply/add (#25445)
The first one avoids relying on compile to optimize local memory away,
and the second is cheaper than issuing control flow statements
2026-07-09 13:23:57 +02:00
Oliver Simons 07e012afdc Make hip quality check run on all changes (#25403)
Improvement of the CI to run on all hip-related changes as a follow-up to
https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/25373
so breakage is more likely to be caught in future

3899b39ce2 CUDA: Fuse MMVQ post-scale for NVFP4 (#24481)
* CUDA: Fuse MMVQ for NVFP4 and BS 1

TODO:
1. Add tests to test-backend-ops (did verify correctness manually for
   one model)
2. Reorder bias/scale once PRs for NVFP4 are merged/landed

* Add dense MMVQ fusion as well

* Add tests for the added fusion ops

* Cleanup test-backend-ops

* Cleanup ggml-cuda/mmvq

1. Unrestrict post-scale fusion
2. Rename names accordingly
3. Remove env variable to disable fusion

* Merge old mul_mat patterns into the lane-based approach

* Enable fusion for MoE in shared MMVQ

* Restrict scale_view_nodes, enroll MM + ADD into lane-matcher

* Refactor mmvq loads, still does not help non-nvfp4 kernels

* Restrict scale-fusion to NVFP4

This is necessary, as the prolog is quite heavy in GEMV for some
quants/model configs, leading to net perf regression.
We should really be looking to refactor this such that ratio of
prologue/hot-loop/epilogue is better on the hot-loop
front:

* Allow views to weights in ggml_can_fuse_subgraph

* Remove gate_first from test_mul_mat_vec_fusion

* Ditch lane-parsing approach in favor of hard-coded patterns

* Apply suggestions from code review

* Rename ggml_is_constant_view_src to ggml_is_constant

* Finish renaming of 0905129e9d

* Readd descriptive prints for fusion debugging

* Add weight-buffer pre-allocation to `test_case`

This is required so we correctly test fusion of NVFP4.

* Update ggml/src/ggml.c

Co-authored-by: Johannes Gäßler <johannesg@5d6.de>

* Add 2nd context for weights as suggested by @JohannesGaessler

This reflects more natural use of ggml compared to artifically
pre-allocating weights into the same context

* Exclude fused tests from gradient mode

I'm unsure of the current state, but naively every fusion pattern
should require its own backpropagation implementation. I don't see these
implemented for the CUDA backend, so we can disable tests to avoid
triggering GGML_ASSERT for

    ggml_tensor * build_graph(ggml_context * ctx) override {
        GGML_ASSERT(!use_weight_context());
        return build_graph(ctx, nullptr);
    }

see https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/23484 :
1. For lora, I would presume we want fully dequantized values before

Oliver SimonsandJohannes Gäßler 6ed481eea4 CUDA: Check PTX version on host side to guard PDL dispatch (#23530)
* CUDA: Check PTX version on host side to guard PDL dispatch

Checking on `__CUDA_ARCH_LIST__` alone is insufficient for JIT, as this
variable doesn't differentiate between compiling for say sm_90, sm_90a
or sm_90f (so forward-jittable PTX vs. arch/family-specific PTX).

Thus, one can have a bug when compiling with
`DCMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES="89;90a"`, where current code would wrongly
dispatch to PDL on sm_90/sm_120 in forward-JIT mode.

This PR fixes this issue by checking `cudaFuncAttributes::ptxVersion` of
the incoming kernel at runtime. A check on ptxVersion alone is
sufficient, as device-codes will always be >= ptxVersion (and any
violation of this would be a severe bug in CUDA/nvcc), see:
 https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-compiler-driver-nvcc/#gpu-code-code-code

We wrongly calculated offset_grid as `ceildiv(nrows, block_size)`,
while it must be `ceildiv(nrows + 1, block_size)`. As a consequence, we
had uninitialized values in `offset_iterator[nrows]` for the case when
`nrows % block_size == 0`.

2. Modifying in-place leads to an additional, unnecessary graph capture
   step as we store the properties before modifying the graph in-place

3.1](https://github.com/NVIDIA/cccl/releases/tag/v3.1.0), which is packaged into
[CTK
13.1](https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-toolkit-release-notes/index.html#id5)

Oliver Simons d1e3556481 CUDA: Replace init_offsets kernel with iterators in cub-based argsort (#18930)
* CUDA: Replace `init_offsets` with iterators in argsort

This is a QOL improvement, saving us the cost of materializing the
iterator

* Remove unnecessary include from top-k.cu

Oliver SimonsandAman Gupta 36f0132464 CUDA: Factor out and re-use block_reduce function (#18785)
* CUDA: Refactor and expose two_stage_warp_reduce_* function

* Use `two_stage_warp_reduce` also in softmax kernel, move smem out of it

Moving smem out of `__device__` function to `__global__` function
allows for explicit smem reuse, as either compiler or cuda rt seem to not
free it afterwards (`cudaFuncSetAttribute` fails when not accounting for
it once for each call to two_stage_warp_reduce)

* Update ggml/src/ggml-cuda/common.cuh

Co-authored-by: Aman Gupta <amangupta052@gmail.com>

* Use two_stage_warp_reduce in group_norm_f32

* Use two_stage_warp_reduce in rms_norm_f32

* Fix smem calculation which expects bytes

* Make `two_stage_warp_reduce` accept all values warp_reduce accepts

Also integrate it into norm_f32 function

* Use two_stage_warp_reduce in l2_norm_f32

* Use type traits for block reduction for better legibility

Also adresss other requests by @am17an such as variable renaming

* Make norm tests cover all cuda paths

* Mark columns % WARP_SIZE !=0 as supported for RMS_NORM_BACK

Unit-tests passed locally, let's see if they pass in the CI as well

* Use `enum class` for `block_reduce_method`

This is more type-safe than plain enum

* Rename variables as suggested in code review by @am17an

* Rename two_stage_warp_reduce -> block_reduce

* Fix trailing whitespace in common.cuh

* Make condition of static_assert type-dependent

This delays evaluation until the template is actually instantiated.
Otherwise, some compilers may evaluate the assert when parsing the
template, resulting in build errors as observed here:

Oliver Simons 8b11deea46 Hide latency of bias and gate-loading (#16847)
This is realised by loading them into registers before computation of
the dot-product, effectively batching them together with said
dot-product. As a lot of threads are alive here, the warp scheduler has
enough threads available to effectively hide the cost of additionally
loading those two floats.

Oliver Simons 00681dfc16 CUDA: Add fastdiv to k_bin_bcast*, giving 1-3% E2E performance (#15872)
* Add fastdiv and fastmodulo to k_bin_bcast kernel

* Address review comments

* `prod_` instead of `prod` suffix

* Add test case for `k_bin_bcast_unravel` in CUDA backend

Oliver SimonsandJohannes Gäßler 661ae31c9c CUDA: Optimize rms_norm_f32 kernel and its fused variants, giving 1-6% perf E2E (#15715)
* Add fastdiv, use it in modulo and use modulo in rms_norm_f32

Fastdiv is much faster way to do integer division, which was identified
as bottleneck in rms_norm_f32

* Support more `block_size` values in `rms_norm_f32`

This makes us more flexible in selecting the optimal threads w.r.t
paralellizing across a col vs. launch-overheads of threads and mio
throttles

* Update ggml/src/ggml-cuda/common.cuh

Co-authored-by: Johannes Gäßler <johannesg@5d6.de>

* Replace modulo with fastmodulo in `rms_norm_f32`

* Use `BinPackArguments=true` for formating function calls

Will file a separate PR to adjust .clang-format file

* Update ggml/src/ggml-cuda/common.cuh

Co-authored-by: Johannes Gäßler <johannesg@5d6.de>

* Use uint3 for both `fastdiv` and `fastmodulo`

The compiler seems to reliably optimize away the unused .z component in
the fastdiv use-case, see https://godbolt.org/z/rx8KPrKr3

* More constrained type declarations

Co-authored-by: Johannes Gäßler <johannesg@5d6.de>

* Rename fastdiv and fastmodulo variables to shared variable name

As suggest by JohannesGaessler, this increases clarity of the intended
use

* Pack fastdiv/fastmodulo constants into uint2/uint3 objects

By packing constants to be used together into a struct, we are less
likely to make errors.

* Rename function parameter of fastmodulo

`modulo_consts` is more fitting/descriptive

Oliver Simons 69db8a52e6 chore: Update .clang-format to use BinPackArguments=true (#15744)

[here](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/15715#discussion_r2315613796)

Oliver Simons 6028bf7435 CUDA: Optimize reduce_rows_f32 kernel, leading up to 25x perf improvement on kernel-level and 10% perf increase for Gemma3n (#15132)
* Factor out `reduce_rows_f32` from common.cuh

This increases iteration cycle speed by not having to recompile
every kernel all the time

* Hide memory-latency by loop unrolling in reduce_rows_f32

* Further optimizations to `reduce_rows_f32`

1. Increase threadblock size to better hide latency of memory requests.
   As a consequence of bigger threadblocks, do 2-step summation, using
   shared memory to communicate results between invocations
2. Use sum_temp array to reduce waits on sum
3. Adjust num_unroll to reflext bigger threadblock
4. Improve default block_dims, increase support for more block_dims

* Add perf tests for `reduce_rows_f32` kernel

* Add heuristic to toggle 128/512 threads based on sm count

Break even point was the minimum of the following multiples.

| GPU Model                     | Nrow SM Count Multiple |
| -----------                   | -----------            |
| RTX 4000 SFF ADA              | 2.0x                   |
| RTX 6000 ADA                  | 2.5x                   |
| RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q  | 3.04x                  |
| RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell	| 3.15x                  |

* Ensure perf gains also for small ncols and large nrows

Alternative to this, one could have also made the number of unrollings
template-able, but that would require compiling the kernel multiple
times, increasing binary size unnecessarily

* Modify perf and unit-tests

* Apply auto-formatting by clang

* Fix CI build failure

See https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/actions/runs/16798370266/job/47573716079?pr=15132#step:7:486
Building with VS generator worked though.

* Remove sm_count property from `ggml_backend_cuda_context`

Requested by @JohannesGaessler, and should fix remaining CI issues as a
side-effect

* Add CUB-based implementation for GGML_OP_MEAN

Currently this branch is only executed for nrows==1

* Add heuristics to execute CUB branch only when it brings perf

Heuristics were determined on the following HW:

* RTX 4000 SFF ADA
* RTX 6000 ADA
* RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q
* RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell

* Add unit-test for CUB-based mean

Tests should run with CUDA Graphs enabled per default on NVGPUs

* Rename `USE_CUB` to `GGML_CUDA_USE_CUB`

Suggested by @JohannesGaessler

* Unindent Preprocessor directives

Oliver Simons e2b7621e7c ggml : remove invalid portPos specifiers from dot files (#14838)
Neither "g" nor "x" are valid portPos specifiers per the official
[graphviz documents](https://graphviz.org/docs/attr-types/portPos/):

> If a compass point is used, it must have the form "n","ne","e","se","s","sw","w","nw","c","_".

I tested locally for it to fall back to default portPos specifier if an
invalid portPos is specified. As a consequence, we can remove associated
code.
