- Support all three formats (ggml, ggmf, ggjt). (However, I didn't
include the hack needed to support GPT4All files without conversion.
Those can still be used after converting them with convert.py from my
other PR.)
- Support both mmap and read (mmap is used by default, but can be
disabled with `--no-mmap`, and is automatically disabled for pre-ggjt
files or on platforms where mmap is not supported).
- Support multi-file models like before, but automatically determine the
number of parts rather than requiring `--n_parts`.
- Improve validation and error checking.
- Stop using the per-file type field (f16) entirely in favor of just
relying on the per-tensor type/size fields. This has no immediate
benefit, but makes it easier to experiment with different formats, and
should make it easier to support the new GPTQ-for-LLaMa models in the
future (I have some work in progress on that front).
- Support VirtualLock on Windows (using the same `--mlock` option as on
Unix).
- Indicate loading progress when using mmap + mlock. (Which led me
to the interesting observation that on my Linux machine, with a
warm file cache, mlock actually takes some time, whereas mmap
without mlock starts almost instantly...)
- To help implement this, move mlock support from ggml to the
loading code.
- madvise/PrefetchVirtualMemory support (based on #740)
- Switch from ifstream to the `fopen` family of functions to avoid
unnecessary copying and, when mmap is enabled, allow reusing the same
file descriptor for both metadata reads and mmap (whereas the existing
implementation opens the file a second time to mmap).
- Quantization now produces a single-file output even with multi-file
inputs (not really a feature as much as 'it was easier this way').
Implementation notes:
I tried to factor the code into more discrete pieces than before.
Regarding code style: I tried to follow the code style, but I'm naughty
and used a few advanced C++ features repeatedly:
- Destructors to make it easier to ensure everything gets cleaned up.
- Exceptions. I don't even usually use exceptions when writing C++, and
I can remove them if desired... but here they make the loading code
much more succinct while still properly handling a variety of errors,
ranging from API calls failing to integer overflow and allocation
failure. The exceptions are converted to error codes at the
API boundary.)

Command that calculates some statistics over the errors introduced by
quantization, like mean square error, max error and some percentile errors for layer
weights. Should be useful for testing quantization improvements.
Exposes some internal state from ggml and llama for testing
The api provides access methods for retrieving the current memory buffer for the kv_cache and its token number.
It also contains a method for setting the kv_cache from a memory buffer.
This makes it possible to load/save history - maybe support --cache-prompt paramater as well?

This is a breaking change that's going to give you three benefits:
1. Your inference commands should load 100x faster
2. You may be able to safely load models 2x larger
3. You can run many concurrent inference processes
This was accomplished by changing the file format so we can mmap()
weights directly into memory without having to read() or copy them
thereby ensuring the kernel can make its file cache pages directly
accessible to our inference processes; and secondly, that the file
cache pages are much less likely to get evicted (which would force
loads to hit disk) because they're no longer competing with memory
pages that were needlessly created by gigabytes of standard i/o.
The new file format supports single-file models like LLaMA 7b, and
it also supports multi-file models like LLaMA 13B. Our Python tool
now merges the foo.1, foo.2, etc. files back into a single file so
that the C++ code which maps it doesn't need to reshape data every
time. That's made llama.cpp so much simpler. Much of its load code
has now been deleted.
Furthermore, this change ensures that tensors are aligned properly
on a 32-byte boundary. That opens the door to seeing if we can get
additional performance gains on some microprocessors, by using ops
that require memory alignment.
Lastly note that both POSIX and the Windows platform are supported
Fixes#91
* Be more strict about converting float to double
* Test equivalence of round, SILU implementations
Test module is commented out in CMakeLists.txt because the tests may
take a long time, depending on how much the compiler optimizes.
* Fix softmax in perplexity.cpp
* all : prefer float over double where appropriate
* perplexity : add <cmath>

`llama_sample_top_p_top_k` was missing the struct annotation on line 126.
This causes a compiler issue when being parsed by the Kotlin C interop generator.
This commit fixes the above issue by adding the struct annotation.
* Support calling mlock() on loaded model data on Linux and macOS
This is enabled by a new --mlock command line option.
Using mlock() disables swapping and memory compression for the model
data. Doing so can be useful on systems where the model takes up a
large fraction of system RAM. In my experience, macOS is quite eager to
start compressing llama.cpp's memory, which then makes it halt for a few
seconds while it decompresses, even with a model that uses "only" 25GB
out of 32GB.
Of course, this comes at the cost of forcing the system to swap or
compress other processes' memory instead, so it needs to be used with
care and shouldn't be enabled by default.
In theory it should be possible to support this on Windows as well using
VirtualLock(), but I'm not much of a Windows user.
* Update llama.cpp
