* q4_0_r4: 6% faster PP on NEON
* qx_0_r4_q8_0 template
Applied to q4_0_r4 and q5_0_r4. It makes q5_0_r4 PP
~7% faster.
* Apply qx_0_r4_q8_0 template also to q6_0_r4 and iq4_nl_x4
* Simplify

* Adding iq2_bn_r4
This Zen4-only implementation achieves PP-512 = 826 t/s (!!!)
for Bitnet-1.58b-3B, up from 620 t/s for iq2_bn.
* Make sure rows per thread are a multiple of the number of interleaved rows
With this I can run iq2_bn_r4 with 32 threads and this increases
PP-512 to 872 t/s.
* iq2_bn_r4: 1st shot at NEON
PP-512 is already faster than iq2_bn (284 t/s vs 246 t/s
for Bitnet-1.58b-3B). TG-128 is ~5% slower.
* iq2_bn_r4: NEON
PP-512 is now 296 t/s. TG-128 is ~20% faster than iq2_bn
for 1 thread, but saturates to about the same 93 t/s at
8 threads.
* iq2_bn_r4: Experimenting on NEON
The matrix x vvector multiplication is erratic.
iq2_bn_r4 is faster at 1, 2, and 4 threads, but
saturates to a lower t/s at 8 threads compared to
iq2_bn. iq2_bn actually manages 99 t/s at 8 threads
and not 93 as I wrore in the last commit. iq2_bn_r4
performance has huge fluctuations at 4 and 8 threads.
* Some cleanup
* iq2_bn_r4: AVX2
As expected, PP is slightly slower as we just don;t have
enough vector registers (690 vs 710 t/s). TG is slightly faster
(18.2 vs 16.7 t/s at 1 thread).
* iq2_bn_r4: use AVX2 implementation on Zen4 for matrix x vector
It is faster - we get 29.6 t/s at 1 thread vs 25.9 t/s for iq2_bn.
* iq2_bn_r4: simdify q8_K16 quantization (AVX2)
PP-512 becomes 834 t/s and TG-128 now saturates to the same
performance as iq2_bn for 4 threads.
* iq2_bn_r4: simdify q8_K16 quantization (NEON)
PP-512 is now 304.7 t/s, and TG-128 @ 8 threads
very slightly outperforms iq2_bn (100.7 t/s vs 99.6 t/s)
* iq2_bn_r4: fix AVX2 after breaking it two commits ago
* iq2_bn_r4: better AVX2
As we don't have enough vector registers on AVX2, it is better
to do two passes per row needing only half of the accumulator
registers that way.
With this, we now beat iq2_bn PP also on AVX2 by a small margin.

* Adding iq4_xs_r4
This is a 1st working version on Zen4.
We get PP-512(LLaMA-3.1-8B) = 226 t/s, so 16% slower
than iq4_nl_x4.
* iq4_xs_r4: WIP
* iq4_xs_r4: Use AVX2 version for matrix x vector on Zen4
* iq4_xs_r4: NEON
We get PP-512(LLaMA-3.1-8B) = 115.6 t/s on M2-Max,
up from 68.2 t/s for iq4_xs!
* DRY

* Adding q6_0_r4
We get PP-512(LLaMA-3.1-8B) = 257 t/s on a Ryzen-7950X.
* q6_0_r4: NEON
We get PP-512(LLaMA-3.1-8B) = 95 t/s on M2-Max.
In terms of ops, q6_0_r4 is identical to q5_0_r4
except for loading the high bits being
vld1q_u8_x2 instead of vld1q_u8. It is strange that
this can make a 5% difference in performance, especially
considering that this is amortized (re-used) over 8 columns
in the right matrix. Or am I running out of vector registers?
* Fix AVX2

* Adding q5_0_r4
We get PP-512(LLaMA-3.1-8B) = 256.7 t/s on a Ryzen-7950X.
We even get TG-128 improvement to 11.7 t/s from 11.1 t/s.
* q5_0_r4: NEON
We get PP-512(LLaMA-3.1-8B) = 99.6 t/s on M2-Max,
up from 71.0 t/s for Q5_0. The difference to mainline llama.cpp
is no longer funny: they get 26.5 t/s for Q5_0.
For TG, we are nor able to fully saturate memory bandwidth
and arrive at 22.1 t/s @ 8 threads. Mainline llama.cpp gets
20.6 t/s for Q5_0.

* Adding q8_0_r4
We get PP-512(LLaMA-3.1-8B) = 268 t/s on a Ryzen-7950X compared
to 175.6 t/s for Q8_0.
* q8_0_r4: NEON
We get PP-512(LLaMA-3.1-8B) = 112.6 t/s on M2-Max.

* Adding iq4_0_r4 - q4_0 repacked
We get PP-512(LLaMA-3.1-8B) = 278 t/s on a Ryzen-7950X CPU,
so ~5-6% faster than iq4_nl_x4.
* q4_0_r4: NEON
Here we get 115.8 t/s, so also ~5% better than iq4_nl_x4.

* Adding iq4_nl_x4
Looks very promising - I get PP-512(LLaMA-3.1-8B) = 230 t/s
on the Ryzen-7950X! This is faster than any other quant and
~40% faster than iq4_nl.
* iq4_nl_x4: getting amazing
This Zen4 variant gets us to PP-512(LLaMA-3.1-8B) = 263 t/s!
* iq4_nl_x4: AVX2
Here we gain only 25% compared to iq4_nl
* iq4_nl_x4: NEON
On M2-Max we get PP-512(LLaMA-3.1-8B) = 109.7 t/s, up from
82.4 t/s for iq4_nl.
* iq4_nl_x4: minor NEON improvement and cleanup
This gets us to 110.3 t/s. In comparison,
IQ4_NL_4_4 in mainline llama.cpp achieves 92.3 t/s.
* iq4_nl_x4: NEON specialization for matrix x vector

Go to groups of 8 for iq3_kt. 2 x 8 = 16 bits for the magnitude
plus 1 bpw for the sign. It goves a visible improvement in the
PPL vs bpw plot, but that comes at the expense of much longer
quantization time (7.5 minutes for LLaMA-3.1-8B on the Ryzen-5975WX).
I also notices that the 3INST generator is not actually generating a
Gaussian distribution. But going to a better generator means
readjusting all the hyper-parameters, so leaving it for later.
We arrive at
PPL(LLaMA-3.1-8B-Instruct, 8192) = 8.9627
PPL(LLaMA-2-7B, 4096) = 6.3825
Quantization is faster too: ~200 seconds for LLaMA-3.1-8B
on Ryzen-5975WX.
Same trick as last commit applied to iq2_kt. Here we get
an even larger speedup: quantization time on the Ryzen-5975WX
for LLaMA-3.1-8B drops to 195 seconds from 375 seconds!
Nearly 60% improvement of quantization speed by having the
points nelonging to a cluster copied to contiguous memory
during initialization, and then accessed sequantially while
searching for the closest point. LLaMA-3.1-8B now gets
quantized in ~150 seconds on the Ryzen-5975WX.
We arrive at 139 t/s (no FA), and 149 t/s (FA).
My RTX-4080 is ~20% slower than the RTX-6000 quoted in the
QTIP repository, so with FA (which I'm sure they also used)
we are at around ~180 t/s on their GPU, so almost matching
their performance.
Implemented as DMMV.
Very slow - just 81 t/s for LLaMA-3.1-8B.
Then again, Q2_K_S with forced to use DMMV only
gets 112 t/s vs 145 t/s via MMVQ. My memory is that
when the DMMV kernels were properly maintained/used,
DMMV was about on par with MMVQ for k-quants on my GPU.
Using blocks of 32 and 16 bits per group of 8 weights
it beats iq2_xxs in terms of PPL by a significant margin.
It is 0.0625 bpw larger, but even if we go to 15 bits per
group od 8 (so 0.0625 bpw less than iq2_xxs), PPL is still
lower.
