* Increase GGML_SCHED_MAX_SPLITS - required for larger u-batches
* Fix CPU concat in the TG case: 7.25 -> 10.5 t/s for Qwen3Next
* Fix CPU sum_rows: 10.5 -> 13.6 t/s for Qwen3Next
It was single-threaded and was taking ~25% of the computation time
during TG. It is now down to 2%.
Strangely enough, I measure 13.6 t/s with llama-bench, but if I
let the model give me an actual response with llama-cli, I get close
to 17 t/s.
* Fix CPU scale: 13.6 -> 16.7 t/s for Qwen3Next
For Qwen3Next there is a scale op on a largish tensor (548k elements)
that has a single row for TG, so was done in a single thread.
We now simply use blocks of 1024 elements.
* Optimize CPU mul: 16.7 -> 17.6 t/s for Qwen3Next
* CPU: fuse transpose -> cont -> sum_rows -> transpos: 17.6 -> 23.1 t/s for Qwen3Next
* Optimize CPU repeat: 176 -> 200 t/s for Qwen3Next PP-512
* Multithreading for OP_SUB
* Don't commit with timing trace on
* Multithread neg and sigmoid
* Be able to turn on/off fusion more easily (CPU)
* Name the mul_mat ops so we know where the time goes
* WIP
* Much better PP on CUDA
* CUDA: fuse transpose -> cont -> sum_rows -> transpose
Needs non-coontiguous variant of sum_rows.
On the CPU this gave 30+% improvement in TG performance,
on CUDA ist is disapointing 6-7%. I guess, this is because
Georgi's cont CPU implementation was so bad that skipping
it made such a big difference.
* CUDA: faster mul for special case relevant for Qwen3Next
Worth 1% in TG
* Fix CPU OP_CONT

* Fix merge
* Not working attempt to extend fused_mul_unary to the Step-3.5 case
* It works now, but performance gain is very minor
* Fix graph parallel when ngl < n_layers
* Fix using ffn_norm
When using graph parallel with ngl < n_layers, the ffn_norm tensor
may have ended up being split, while the ffn tensors are on the CPU.
In that case we will get a crash because we attempt to use the not-split
buffer of ffn_norm, which is invalid. Thi commit fixes that.

- Fix bug where original probabilities were captured as zero by calculating
them from logits in llama_prep_adaptive_p (new).
- Replace vector with unordered_map to track candidate probabilities,
filtering for relevance via logit delta (16.6f).
- Standardize API naming: llama_<action/verb>_<focus/name/topic>_<extra/info>
- Update function signatures to follow most other samplers.
* resolve merge bug
* adaptive-p: revert reordering function definitions
* Attempt to fix the many GPU issue in split mode graph
* WIP: this seems more stable
Still hanging after a while if I try to use all 7 GPUs
* Reenable OpenMP in scheduler async
Seems solid up to 4 GPUs. It did hang with --max-gpu 6.
* printf cleanup
* Add ability to merge up+gate exps to more models
* We need to of course pass the merged tensor to build_ffn
* All the others
* Also Qwen3VL-MoE

* WIP - not working
* WIP - not working
* WIP - GPT-OSS working
However, extremely stupid. The only way I could correctly repack the
up/gate experts is to copy up and gate into host buffers, repack
into another host buffer, copy back into the ffn_up_gate_exps tensor.
This is going to be very slow for giant 500 GB models.
My attempts to do this via a compute graph on the backend holding
the tensors was unsuccessful.
For GPT-OSS-20B I see ~6-7% better PP when using the original
ik_llama.cpp fused_up_gate CUDA implementation, and ~10% when
using the small batch size implementation.
Other models are not working yet on CUDA as I need to fix the
fused mul-unary implementation.
* WIP
* WIP - Qwen3-MoE (and hopefully all others) working
But when I say here and in the previous commit "working",
I mean PP is working. TG is still broken.
* WIP: TG seems to be working
* Minor
* Add command line option to merge experts up/gate
* Add merge up/gate command line parameter to llama-bench
* Turn off merge_up_gate_exps if split mode graph
It is not yet implemented
* When no bias, allow merging up/gate with tensor overrides
* Arghh, we need to increase the context size again
* Cleanup
