When attempting to do llama-perplexity on certain tasks which have coupled sequences there is a cryptic error that does not tell you what to do, which is to set the -kvu flag. This adds a hint about that fact.
* examples/finetune -opt SGD (stochastic gradient descent) memory opt
add unit tested GGML_OPT_OPTIMIZER_SGD to ggml - avoids allocating
m, v tensors.
support finetune.cpp arg -opt SGD (or sgd). (default adamw as before)
llama 3.2-1b-F32 result: observed 11gb gpu ram (41 sec/epoch)
when using SGD instead of 19gb (55 sec/epoch) using adamw.
(wikipedia 100 lines finetune)
(
using the same GPU memory, adamw can only do before OOM 512
batch/context, reaching:
train: [███████▉] data=0000140/0000140 loss=0.02575±0.00099 acc=99.52±0.03% t=00:00:47 ETA=00:00:00
val: [███████▉] data=0000008/0000008 loss=4.76565±0.28810 acc=41.46±0.77% t=00:00:00 ETA=00:00:00
SGD is superior, though it converges slower, with max before OOM 1728
batch/context (esp see the better validation perf):
train: [███████▉] data=0000039/0000039 loss=0.00371±0.00010 acc=99.96±0.01% t=00:00:41 ETA=00:00:00
val: [███████▉] data=0000003/0000003 loss=5.11406±0.76034 acc=48.01±0.69% t=00:00:01 ETA=00:00:00
)
note: when finetuning long enough (or w/ enough -lr),
validation accuracy *eventually* drops ('catastrophic forgetting')
-lr-half (halflife) option useful for SGD to avoid oscillation or
super slow underdamped learning (makes setting -lr more forgiving).
terminal -lr for now is set by lr-halvings i.e. if you want at most
1/8 the inital -lr you set -lr-halvings 3.
note: objective loss not directly comparable between adamw, sgd? -
check perplexity or accuracy or consider relative improvements
for convergence
new finetune args -wd 1e-9 to enable weight decay in sgd or adamw,
and max -epochs N (default 2 as before)
cache (1 - wd*alpha) in 'adamw' opt struct -
no noticeable perf benefit, disabled (still done
for new SGD though)
since opt. memory is pre-allocated, the ggml_opt_get_optimizer_params
would probably be able to change between SGD and AdamW with each epoch
but would need to use adamw for the first (unconfirmed - no cmdline arg
to set such a policy yet)
test-opt checks adamw as before and now sgd (except for a few disabled
tests for sgd only; probably just needs logging values and adding
alternate reference values); tolerance on the 'regression'
test is broader for sgd (so we don't need many more epochs)
* Vulkan: Implement GGML_OP_OPT_STEP_SGD
* tests: Fix OPT_STEP_SGD test-backend-ops
* SGD op param store weight-decay and not 1-alpha*wd
* minor + cosmetic changes
* fix vulkan sgd
* try CI fix

* perplexity: give more information about constraints on failure
This checks whether -np is insufficient vs context, and provides clues as to how much is needed for each.
* log formatting
* log error and return instead of storing max_seq_exceeded int
* check if s0 is zero for -np check
The flake.nix included references to llama-cpp.cachix.org cache with a comment
claiming it's 'Populated by the CI in ggml-org/llama.cpp', but:
1. No visible CI workflow populates this cache
2. The cache is empty for recent builds (tested b6150, etc.)
3. This misleads users into expecting pre-built binaries that don't exist
This change removes the non-functional cache references entirely, leaving only
the working cuda-maintainers cache that actually provides CUDA dependencies.
Users can still manually add the llama-cpp cache if it becomes functional in the future.

* Factor out `reduce_rows_f32` from common.cuh
This increases iteration cycle speed by not having to recompile
every kernel all the time
* Hide memory-latency by loop unrolling in reduce_rows_f32
* Further optimizations to `reduce_rows_f32`
1. Increase threadblock size to better hide latency of memory requests.
As a consequence of bigger threadblocks, do 2-step summation, using
shared memory to communicate results between invocations
2. Use sum_temp array to reduce waits on sum
3. Adjust num_unroll to reflext bigger threadblock
4. Improve default block_dims, increase support for more block_dims
* Add perf tests for `reduce_rows_f32` kernel
* Add heuristic to toggle 128/512 threads based on sm count
Break even point was the minimum of the following multiples.
| GPU Model | Nrow SM Count Multiple |
| ----------- | ----------- |
| RTX 4000 SFF ADA | 2.0x |
| RTX 6000 ADA | 2.5x |
| RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q | 3.04x |
| RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell | 3.15x |
* Ensure perf gains also for small ncols and large nrows
Alternative to this, one could have also made the number of unrollings
template-able, but that would require compiling the kernel multiple
times, increasing binary size unnecessarily
* Modify perf and unit-tests
* Apply auto-formatting by clang
* Fix CI build failure
See https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/actions/runs/16798370266/job/47573716079?pr=15132#step:7:486
Building with VS generator worked though.
* Remove sm_count property from `ggml_backend_cuda_context`
Requested by @JohannesGaessler, and should fix remaining CI issues as a
side-effect
* Add CUB-based implementation for GGML_OP_MEAN
Currently this branch is only executed for nrows==1
* Add heuristics to execute CUB branch only when it brings perf
Heuristics were determined on the following HW:
* RTX 4000 SFF ADA
* RTX 6000 ADA
* RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q
* RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell
* Add unit-test for CUB-based mean
Tests should run with CUDA Graphs enabled per default on NVGPUs
* Rename `USE_CUB` to `GGML_CUDA_USE_CUB`
Suggested by @JohannesGaessler
* Unindent Preprocessor directives
See
https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/15132#discussion_r2269213506
* ggml-rpc: chunk send()/recv() to avoid EINVAL for very large tensors over RPC (macOS & others). Fixes#15055
* ggml-rpc: rename RPC_IO_CHUNK->MAX_CHUNK_SIZE, use std::min() for cap, switch to GGML_LOG_ERROR, handle 0-length send/recv
* rpc: drop n==0 special case in send_data(); retry in loop per review
* rpc: remove trailing whitespace in send_data()

This commit updates `llama_kv_cache_unified::find_slot` to log
information for all streams when debug is enabled.
The motivation for this change is that currently if a non-unified
kv-cache is used, then only one stream will be logged because the
code was currently uses `seq_to_stream[1]`.
This commit updates comments and error messages to use "decode" instead
of "eval" in perplexity.cpp.
The motivation for this is that `llama_eval` was renamed to
`llama_decode` a while ago, but the comments and error messages
still referred to "eval". This change ensures consistency and clarity.
* cuda: refactored ssm_scan to use CUB
* fixed compilation error when when not using CUB
* assign L to constant and use size_t instead of int
* deduplicated functions
* change min blocks per mp to 1
* Use cub load and store warp transpose
* suppress clang warning
This commit addresses an issue with the convert_hf_to_gguf script
which is currently failing with:
```console
AttributeError: module 'torch' has no attribute 'uint64'
```
This occurred because safetensors expects torch.uint64 to be available
in the public API, but PyTorch 2.2.x only provides limited support for
unsigned types beyond uint8 it seems. The torch.uint64 dtype exists but
is not exposed in the standard torch namespace
(see pytorch/pytorch#58734).
PyTorch 2.4.0 properly exposes torch.uint64 in the public API, resolving
the compatibility issue with safetensors. This also required torchvision
to updated to =0.19.0 for compatibility.
