* Adds initial PDL setup.
* Adds PDL barriers based on simple heuristic: place "sync" before first input pointer access, and "launch" after last write, e.g. to tensors like dst.
* Further optimization pass of the first half of kernels
* Optimized PDL barriers for the second batch of kernels
* Further refinements after rebase.
* Moves pdl logic to separate function, removes some whitespace
* Strips post-hoc PDL logic
* Adds stream capture PDL setup. Enrolls quantize_q8_1 to leverage pdl to
overlap execution with previous kernels
* Enrolls mul_mat_vec_q, rms_norm_f32 and k_bin_bcast (partly) into PDL
* Enrolls mmvf, rope, set-rows and topk kernels for gpt-oss into PDL
* Introduce ggml_cuda_kernel_launch, to abstract away cudaLaunchKernelEx,
to enable hip/musa compatibility
* Enrolls cpy_scalar_contiguous, k_get_rows_float and rms_norm_f32
* Enrolls flash_attn_combine_results
* Fix: Drops needless and broken check of CUDA arch for PDL. PDL either
works or is without effect.
* Enrolls flash-attention kernels to pdl
* Fix: inlines ggml_cuda_kernel_launch, and uses perfect forwarding for
kernels args. This fixes PDL.
* Perf: Enrolls k_bin_bcast variadic template invocation into PDL, via
and template alias and template expansion
* Enrolls all remaining kernels for qwen3-coder-next into PDL
* Remove all PDL LC calls to create a baseline
* Added LC according to internal guidance and tested kernel performance.
* Enrols missing qwen3-5 kernels passively into PDL.
* Kernel optimizations (LC signals) for qwen3.5
* Enrolls ssm-scan kernels into PDL
* Adds GGML_CUDA_PDL command line option to toggle PDL.
* Fix: Ada and lower compilation by guarding PDL calls correctly
* Cleanup: Removes commented out GGML_CUDA_PDL_LC
* Cleanup: Removes experimental comments
* Adds 90-virtual to build script so that Hopper GPUs can leverage PDL.
* Adds stricter checks to enable PDL, adds env-check to disable it, and removes now superfluous compile option to enable PDL.
* Fix: Correct PDL en/disablement based on device-side arch check. Host
side check is UB. Required moving from macros to inlined functions
* Fix: default-disable PDL. Enable by setting GGML_CUDA_ENABLE_PDL=1
* Enable PDL by default for Hopper+ devices
* Enrolls softcap_f32 and two flash_attn kernels into PDL.
* Improves flash attn PDL barrier placement
* Fix: Perf regression on ada; excludes ada and below from PDL launches
* Improves some sync barrier placements
* Drops superfluous constructor
* Adds #endif guard comments
* Reverts experimental change to top-k-moe.cu, which moved expensive allocations
in front of the PDL barrier. It did not have a meaningful impact.
* Exchanges GGML_CUDA_DISABLE_PDL with GGML_CUDA_PDL. IFF GGML_CUDA_PDL=0
PDL is disabled
* Revert "Drops superfluous constructor". Adds const to remaining
arguments
This reverts commit 12b1d250da.
* Cleanup: Removes and fixes some comments and whitespace
* Clarifies comment of sync-barrier position
* Relocates and refactors PDL launch functions and accessories
* Adds error checking to the regular kernel launch path
* Drops "auto" in favor of "ggml_cuda_kernel_params"
* Adds "const" to ggml_cuda_kernel_launch_params
* [Whitespace] Adds final newline to common.cuh to make editorconfig CI job happy
* CUDA: use shared mem for ssm_conv
* fuse silu + ssm_conv
* fuse unary + mul
* enable for fp16
* formatting
