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
ggml :
- added ggml_view_3d()
- ggml_view_tensor() now inherits the stride too
- reimplement ggml_cpy() to account for dst stride
- no longer require tensor->data to be memory aligned
llama :
- compute RoPE on 32-bit tensors (should be more accurate)
- store RoPE-ed K in the KV cache
- store transposed V in the KV cache (significant speed-up)
- avoid unnecessary Q copy
* 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.
