* Slightly faster AVX2 implementation for q4_k_r4
* Even better AVX2 implementation for q4_k_r4
We now arrive at PP-512 = 328 t/s for LLaMA-3.1-8B on a
Ryzen-5975WX CPU, up from 291 t/s when I last measured
on 3c5f8722.
With FA and Q8_0 K-cache we get to 339.5 t/s.
* Fix llama-bench labels that I broke with #181
* Faster AVX2 implementation for q5_k_q4
We arrive at 302 t/s for LLaMA-3.1-8B on a Ryzen-5975WX CPU,
up from 273 t/s.
* Use AVX2 implementation of q4_k_r4 and q5_k_r4 also on Zen4
After the changes I made to AVX2, it ends up being slightly faster
compared to what I had for Zen4.
* Minor tweak
* Cleanup

-v, --verbose (default: 0)
Multiple values can be given for each parameter by separating them with ',' or by specifying the parameter multiple times.
llama-bench can perform three types of tests:
- Prompt processing (pp): processing a prompt in batches (
-p) - Text generation (tg): generating a sequence of tokens (
-n) - Prompt processing + text generation (pg): processing a prompt followed by generating a sequence of tokens (
-pg)
With the exception of -r, -o and -v, all options can be specified multiple times to run multiple tests. Each pp and tg test is run with all combinations of the specified options. To specify multiple values for an option, the values can be separated by commas (e.g. -n 16,32), or the option can be specified multiple times (e.g. -n 16 -n 32).
Each test is repeated the number of times given by -r, and the results are averaged. The results are given in average tokens per second (t/s) and standard deviation. Some output formats (e.g. json) also include the individual results of each repetition.
For a description of the other options, see the main example.
Note:
- When using SYCL backend, there would be hang issue in some cases. Please set
--mmp 0.
