This patch improves GEMM for FP32 Data Type on PowerPC Implements GEMM on large blocks with configurable block size mc, nc, kc (default: 256, 256, 256). Packing Function optimized to access blocks as per memory layout. GEMM Optimized to work on larger blocks. Isolated Packing from GEMM Operations for better MMA utilization. Verified functionality and correctness uing llama-cli and stand alone test case (performs matmul and compares final mattrix C result with base). Minor code refactoring changes: Replace macro with inline function Code Indent made consistent with 4 spaces Performance Testing: Observed 50% ~ 70% improvement in Prompt Processing Speed mesured using llama-bench with Meta-Llama3-8B FP32 Model. Similar gains observed with Mistral-7b-Instruct-v0.3 Model. model Size Params Backend Threads Test Patch Base llama 8B all F32 29.92 GiB 8.03 B CPU 20 pp512 98.58 60.3 llama 8B all F32 29.92 GiB 8.03 B CPU 20 pp1024 95.88 57.36 llama 8B all F32 29.92 GiB 8.03 B CPU 20 pp2048 85.46 53.26 llama 8B all F32 29.92 GiB 8.03 B CPU 20 pp4096 68.66 45.78 llama 8B all F32 29.92 GiB 8.03 B CPU 20 pp6144 57.35 40.44 25 ~ 30% improvement in llama-batched-bench with Metla-Llama3-8B in Prompt Processing Speed for large prompts (256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096)tokens with various batch sizes ( 1, 2, 4, 8, 16) Signed-off-by: Shalini Salomi Bodapati <Shalini.Salomi.Bodapati@ibm.com>
CUrently in q4 gemm, a single block is being processed in KERNEL_mxn functions. For KERNEL_8x8, 8 rows -> each row, 1 block is being processed. I tried to modify this KERNEL_8x8 to process 8 rows -> 32 blocks once. Signed-off-by: Shalini Salomi Bodapati <Shalini.Salomi.Bodapati@ibm.com>

) * ggml: backend-agnostic tensor parallelism * support for GPT-OSS, Qwen 3 MoE * partial Vulkan fix * add support for 4/8 GPUs * unconditional peer access * re-use buffers + ggml contexts * fix output pattern * NCCL support * GGML: HIP: add RCCL support * Remove shfl and AllReduce from backend interface * move allocation workaround out of ggml-alloc.c * 2d tensor set/get support * Fix the seg fault without NCCL * Apply suggestion from JohannesGaessler * support for tensor dims % n_devs != 0 * fix view_offs scaling * arbitrary num. of GPUs/tensor split * fix compilation * better granularity estimate * Support device-specific host buffer types if all underlying backends expose the same type. This allows using pinned memory instead of pageable memory for CUDA. Fix compilation errors. * partial Qwen 3 Next support * Fix qwen3 30b (#8) * Fix crash with Qwen-30B-A3B Q4_0 Qwen-30B-A3B Q4_0 has an intermediate dimension of 768. Using a granularity of 256 forces an uneven split between GPUs, which is not supported by the current implementation. * Decide block size based on tensor quantization type * Fix crashes due to KV cache serialization (#9) KV cache serialization requires non-zero offsets on the tensor. Add support in the meta backend to set/get a tensor with a non-zero offset. * metal : fix build (#7) * static memory allocations, fix usage count * fix tensor granularity * more even memory distribution * use BF16 for allreduce * rebase fixup * better error message for unsupported architectures * Fix device mismatch during scatter of allReduce. (#11) There is a mismatch between the dst buffer device and the backend device, causing the use of sync copies * Enable the previous allreduce implementation. It is better in both perf and stability (#12) * delay AllReduce for Moe for less I/O * build : clean-up compile warnings * backend : move most of the meta backend API to ggml-backend-impl.h * cont : hide unused public API in the implementation * llama : use llama_device + remove ggml_backend_dev_is_meta() * ggml-backend : remove unused alloc include * minor : remove regex include * ggml : introduce ggml-ext.h for staging new APIs * rebase fixup * fix tests * llama : more robust logic for determining Meta devices (#16) * llama : more robust logic for determining Meta devices * cont : fix devs size check Co-authored-by: Johannes Gäßler <johannesg@5d6.de> * cont : fix log type Co-authored-by: Johannes Gäßler <johannesg@5d6.de> --------- Co-authored-by: Johannes Gäßler <johannesg@5d6.de> * disable roundtrip for meta backend * fix arch selection * Qwen 3.5 support * fix Gemma 4 MoE * fix OpenVino, SYCL * fix test-llama-archs for CPU-only builds * Fix Qwen 3.5 MoE * disable meta backend tests for WebGPU * tests : filter CPU-based devices from the Meta backend tests (#17) * meta : formatting, naming, indentation (#18) * formatting : llama-model.cpp * formatting : ggml-ext.h * formatting : ggml-backend-meta.cpp * meta : add TODO * add documentation * better error messages * fix GPT-OSS --------- Co-authored-by: Carl Philipp Klemm <carl@uvos.xyz> Co-authored-by: Gaurav Garg <gaugarg@nvidia.com> Co-authored-by: Georgi Gerganov <ggerganov@gmail.com>
