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
