ggml : add SOTA 2,3,4,5,6 bit k-quantizations (#1684)
* Starting to add k-quantization to ggml

I think it is better to have quantization separate from
ggml. For now just adding the k-quants there, but it would be
better to also factor out the existing ggml quantizations.

* Adding Q3_K and Q8_K (de)-quantization

* Q3_K now working on CUDA and AVX2/scalar

CUDA is not ideal - ~50% slower than Q4_0 for
single token prediction, about the same in batch
mode (perplexity). CPU single token is ~55 ms
(on Ryzen 7950X).

* Some improvement for Q3_K on CUDA

It is now ~22.5 ms/token on my GPU, so ~30% slower than Q4_0.

* Some more CUDA optimizations for Q3_K

Single token is now 20.5 ms/token (~20% slower than Q4_0).
Perplexity is on par with Q4_0.

* Adding Q4_K - scalar, AVX2, CUDA

Performance is the same or perhaps very slightly better than Q4_0 on the CPU.
On the GPU, single token prediction is ~10% better than Q4_0,
batch mode (perplexity is about the same).

* Adding Q6_K - scalar, AVX2, CUDA

Performance is ~40% lower compared to Q4_K on the CPU.
This is to be expected, considering that we are memory bound
on the CPU and the 6-bit model is ~44% larger than the 4-bit.
On the GPU, single token prediction is ~6% lower than Q4_0,
batch mode (perplexity) is even closer (but still slower).

* Adding Q5_K - scalar, AVX2, CUDA

Performance is ~20% lower compared to Q4_K on the CPU.
This is to be expected, considering that we are memory bound
on the CPU and the 5-bit model is ~22% larger than the 4-bit.
On the GPU, single token prediction is about the same as Q4_0
for both, single token and batch prediction.

* Per convention, all QX_K quantizations use Q5_K for output.weight

* Adding quantization mixes

* Quantization mixes: didn't quite get what I wanted in the last commit

* Q4_K dot product for ARM_NEON

* Q6_K dot product for ARM_NEON

* Q5_K dot product for ARM_NEON

* Adding Q3_K dot for ARM_NEON

It is 22% slower than Q4_K, despite the smaller model size.
On x86_64, where we are memory bound, the Q3_K model is
quite a bit faster than Q4_K.

* A very slightly faster ARM_NEON Q3_K dot

* Adding Q2_K - just CUDA for now

Token prediction is pretty good - about 15.5 ms on a RTX 4080.
Perplexity is about the same as Q4_K.

* Adding scalar and AVX2 Q2_K dot

* Adding ARM_NEON Q2_K dot

About the same performance as Q4_K.

* A slightly faster ARM_NEON Q2_K dot

Single token prediction is now ~36 ms on M2 Max.
The code is much simpler too.

* Fixed bug in Q2_K CUDA dot product kernel

Stranegly enough, for the few prompts I tried with the 7B model
the responses looked perfectly reasonable. Only realized something
is not quite right when I tried the larger models and started getting
nonse back.

In any case, Q2_K single token evaluation time on an RTX 4080 in a Ryzen7950X
box iusing CUDA and model fully loaded on the GPU are
  ~15.5 ms for 7B, ~25.4 ms for 13B, and ~55.8 ms for 30B.
The max number of layers that fit in VRAM for The 65B is 32.
With that, we get ~330 ms per token, which is not that much faster
than just running on the CPU (~470 ms per token).

* Don't print zeros/NaNs when no count histogram has been collected

* A 10% faster CUDA vector dot kernel for Q3_K

Q3_K is now running at ~18.5 ms / token on CUDA,
so the gap to Q4_0 is only 10%.
It seems memory acccess pattern is more important for
performance than the amount of computation the kernel
does.

* A slightly daster Q4_K AVX2 dot product

For perplexity, where we are less memory bound, time per
pass drops by ~5%. Barely measurable difference for single
token prediction.

* A slightly faster ARM_NEON A4_K dot product

* Minor

* Fix quantization error test

We cannot possibly be expecting rmse < 0.002 for 2- and 3-bit
quantization variants.

* Fix docker build

I have been sloppy with vector reinterpret casts on ARM_NEON.
It seems clang is very forgiving in that regard.

* Added forgotten ggml.o dependence on k_quants.h to the Makefile

* Had unintentionally committed the Makefile with -Ofast enabled

* ggml : rename k_quants -> ggml-quants-k, use lowercase in code

Only show -ngl option when relevant + other doc/arg handling updates (#1625)
1. Add a `LLAMA_SUPPORTS_GPU_OFFLOAD` define to `llama.h` (defined when compiled with CLBlast or cuBLAS)
2. Update the argument handling in the common example code to only show the `-ngl`, `--n-gpu-layers` option when GPU offload is possible.
3. Add an entry for the `-ngl`, `--n-gpu-layers` option to the `main` and `server` examples documentation
4. Update `main` and `server` examples documentation to use the new style dash separator argument format
5. Update the `server` example to use dash separators for its arguments and adds `-ngl` to `--help` (only shown when compiled with appropriate support). It will still support `--memory_f32` and `--ctx_size` for compatibility.
6. Add a warning discouraging use of `--memory-f32` for the `main` and `server` examples `--help` text as well as documentation. Rationale: https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/discussions/1593#discussioncomment-6004356

llama : define magic numbers as integer constants (#1518) (#1520)
The underlying representation of multibyte character literals is
implementation-defined. This could, at least in principle, cause
cross-build data export/import issues independent of endianness.

Define magic numbers as integer literals to be on the safe side.

llama : multi-threaded quantization (#1075)
* Multi-threading quantization.

Not much gain for simple quantizations, bit it will be important
for quantizations that require more CPU cycles.

* Multi-threading for quantize-stats

It now does the job in ~14 seconds on my Mac for
Q4_0, Q4_1 and Q4_2. Single-threaded it was taking
more than 2 minutes after adding the more elaborate
version of Q4_2.

* Reviewer comments

* Avoiding compiler confusion

After changing chunk_size to const int as suggested by
@ggerganov, clang and GCC starting to warn me that I don't
need to capture it in the lambda. So, I removed it from the
capture list. But that makes the MSVC build fail. So,
making it a constexpr to make every compiler happy.

* Still fighting with lambda captures in MSVC

f963b63afa Rewrite loading code to try to satisfy everyone:
- 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.)

Added api for getting/setting the kv_cache (#685)
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?

78ca9838ee Make loading weights 10-100x faster
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

Add missing struct annotation (#483)
`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 (#453)
* 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
