With that we hit 360 t/s for LlaMA-3.1-8B on a Ryzen-7950X.
q8_k_r8 is 386 t/s, so for a batch size of 512 repacking costs
~7% of the time taken by the actual GEMM.
* q4_K: dequantize to q8_1_r8 for batch >= 32
We get 268 t/s, up from 186 t/s.
* q4_K: GEMM with q8_2_X4
* q5_K: GEMM with q8_2_X4 and repack to q8_1_r8
* Remove the scales, they are not needed

response.
The performance impact of this change depends on the network latency.

* fix(rpc): Improve input validation and error handling (#13069)
* fix(rpc): Improve input validation and error handling
The `rpc-server` was vulnerable to Denial of Service attacks via
several RPC commands (`SET_TENSOR`, `GRAPH_COMPUTE`, etc.). Malformed
messages could trigger failed assertions (e.g., invalid `ggml_type`)
or out-of-bounds reads/writes leading to `GGML_ABORT` calls,
crashing the server process.
This PR introduces robust input validation and replaces `abort()`
calls with graceful error handling:
- **Type Validation:** `deserialize_tensor` now checks if the
`tensor->type` is within the valid `GGML_TYPE_COUNT` range
*before* calling `ggml_new_tensor_4d`. Returns `nullptr` on
invalid type.
- **Bounds Checks:** Replaced `GGML_ABORT` in `set_tensor`,
`set_tensor_hash`, and `get_tensor` handlers with error
logging and returning `false` when data/offset parameters
are out of buffer bounds.
- **Size Checks:** Added safe arithmetic checks (for overflow) in
`graph_compute` when calculating required message sizes based
on client-provided `n_nodes` and `n_tensors`. Returns early
if the reported sizes conflict with the actual message size or
would lead to overflow.
- **Error Propagation:**
- `create_node` now checks for `nullptr` return values from
`deserialize_tensor` and its recursive calls, propagating
`nullptr` upwards on failure. Uses `find` instead of `at`
for safer map access.
- `copy_tensor` now checks for `nullptr` from `deserialize_tensor`
and sets the response status to failure if deserialization
or bounds checks fail.
- `graph_compute` now checks for `nullptr` return from
`create_node` and returns failure status correctly. The final
return value now reflects the actual computation status.
These changes improve the RPC server's resilience
against malformed client requests, preventing crashes and ensuring
errors are handled more gracefully.

* refactor(rpc): ambiguous nullptr from create_node
rpc_server::create_node could previously return nullptr if the input ID
was 0 (valid) or if an internal error (deserialization, recursion
failure) occurred (invalid). This ambiguity made error handling
difficult for the caller (`graph_compute`).
This commit clarifies the meaning of nullptr:
- `graph_compute` now checks if the input 'id' was non-zero when
`create_node` returns nullptr, correctly identifying failures
versus intentional null links.
- `create_node` avoids recursive calls for zero IDs and propagates
nullptr unambiguously on failure during recursion.

* refactor(rpc): initial zero check in create_node
The caller (`graph_compute`) already checks `id != 0` when handling
a `nullptr` return from `create_node`, correctly distinguishing
intentional null links from actual errors. This makes the initial
`if (id == 0)` check redundant.
Also removes the log message when a tensor ID is not found in the
provided map which was added in this branch.

For iq4_kt this results in a massive PP improvement
from PP512 = ~42 t/s to PP512 = 128 t/s.
* Experimenting with dequant + f32 GEMM
iq2_kt: from PP512 = 57.3 t/s to PP512 = 135.0 t/s
iq3_kt: from PP512 = 43.8 t/s to PP512 = 131.4 t/s
* Experimenting with dequant + f16 GEMM on NEON
iq2_kt: PP512 = 79 t/s from 42 t/s
iq3_kt: PP512 = 81 t/s from 35 t/s
Also, found the reason why the f16 implementation for iq4_kt was
not working: it overflows. It works after mltiplying with the row scale
before doing the multiply-adds.
* Experimenting with dequant + f16 GEMM on NEON
iq4_kt: PP512 = 86 t/s from 29 t/s
* Minor
