Oliver SimonsandGitHub 1f1e57f2bf CUDA: Fix loop unrolling for BW in mul_mat_q_stream_k_fixup (#19053)
By providing stride_* variables as size_t (i.e., 64-bit) the compiler can
correctly unroll the [two for-loops](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/blob/557515be1e93ed8939dd8a7c7d08765fdbe8be31/ggml/src/ggml-cuda/mmq.cuh#L3789-L3816)
on BW. This gives some perf for prefill/pp phase on BW, while not affecting
other SMs:

Oliver SimonsandGitHub 5bd341c9a1 CUDA: Fix builds for older CCCL versions by ifdefing strided_iterator (#18964)
* CUDA: Fix builds for older CCCL versions by ifdefing strided_iterator

Strided iterator was added in [CCCL
3.1](https://github.com/NVIDIA/cccl/releases/tag/v3.1.0), which is packaged into
[CTK
13.1](https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-toolkit-release-notes/index.html#id5)

* Unindent as per code review request

Oliver SimonsandGitHub d1e3556481 CUDA: Replace init_offsets kernel with iterators in cub-based argsort (#18930)
* CUDA: Replace `init_offsets` with iterators in argsort

This is a QOL improvement, saving us the cost of materializing the
iterator

* Remove unnecessary include from top-k.cu

36f0132464 CUDA: Factor out and re-use block_reduce function (#18785)
* CUDA: Refactor and expose two_stage_warp_reduce_* function

* Use `two_stage_warp_reduce` also in softmax kernel, move smem out of it

Moving smem out of `__device__` function to `__global__` function
allows for explicit smem reuse, as either compiler or cuda rt seem to not
free it afterwards (`cudaFuncSetAttribute` fails when not accounting for
it once for each call to two_stage_warp_reduce)

* Update ggml/src/ggml-cuda/common.cuh

Co-authored-by: Aman Gupta <amangupta052@gmail.com>

* Use two_stage_warp_reduce in group_norm_f32

* Use two_stage_warp_reduce in rms_norm_f32

* Fix smem calculation which expects bytes

* Make `two_stage_warp_reduce` accept all values warp_reduce accepts

Also integrate it into norm_f32 function

* Use two_stage_warp_reduce in l2_norm_f32

* Use type traits for block reduction for better legibility

Also adresss other requests by @am17an such as variable renaming

* Make norm tests cover all cuda paths

* Mark columns % WARP_SIZE !=0 as supported for RMS_NORM_BACK

Unit-tests passed locally, let's see if they pass in the CI as well

* Use `enum class` for `block_reduce_method`

This is more type-safe than plain enum

* Rename variables as suggested in code review by @am17an

* Rename two_stage_warp_reduce -> block_reduce

* Fix trailing whitespace in common.cuh

* Make condition of static_assert type-dependent

This delays evaluation until the template is actually instantiated.
Otherwise, some compilers may evaluate the assert when parsing the
template, resulting in build errors as observed here:

Oliver SimonsandGitHub 8b11deea46 Hide latency of bias and gate-loading (#16847)
This is realised by loading them into registers before computation of
the dot-product, effectively batching them together with said
dot-product. As a lot of threads are alive here, the warp scheduler has
enough threads available to effectively hide the cost of additionally
loading those two floats.

Oliver SimonsandGitHub 00681dfc16 CUDA: Add fastdiv to k_bin_bcast*, giving 1-3% E2E performance (#15872)
* Add fastdiv and fastmodulo to k_bin_bcast kernel

* Address review comments

* `prod_` instead of `prod` suffix

* Add test case for `k_bin_bcast_unravel` in CUDA backend

661ae31c9c CUDA: Optimize rms_norm_f32 kernel and its fused variants, giving 1-6% perf E2E (#15715)
* Add fastdiv, use it in modulo and use modulo in rms_norm_f32

Fastdiv is much faster way to do integer division, which was identified
as bottleneck in rms_norm_f32

* Support more `block_size` values in `rms_norm_f32`

This makes us more flexible in selecting the optimal threads w.r.t
paralellizing across a col vs. launch-overheads of threads and mio
throttles

* Update ggml/src/ggml-cuda/common.cuh

Co-authored-by: Johannes Gäßler <johannesg@5d6.de>

* Replace modulo with fastmodulo in `rms_norm_f32`

* Use `BinPackArguments=true` for formating function calls

Will file a separate PR to adjust .clang-format file

* Update ggml/src/ggml-cuda/common.cuh

Co-authored-by: Johannes Gäßler <johannesg@5d6.de>

* Use uint3 for both `fastdiv` and `fastmodulo`

The compiler seems to reliably optimize away the unused .z component in
the fastdiv use-case, see https://godbolt.org/z/rx8KPrKr3

* More constrained type declarations

Co-authored-by: Johannes Gäßler <johannesg@5d6.de>

* Rename fastdiv and fastmodulo variables to shared variable name

As suggest by JohannesGaessler, this increases clarity of the intended
use

* Pack fastdiv/fastmodulo constants into uint2/uint3 objects

By packing constants to be used together into a struct, we are less
likely to make errors.

* Rename function parameter of fastmodulo

`modulo_consts` is more fitting/descriptive

Oliver SimonsandGitHub 69db8a52e6 chore: Update .clang-format to use BinPackArguments=true (#15744)

[here](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/15715#discussion_r2315613796)

Oliver SimonsandGitHub 6028bf7435 CUDA: Optimize reduce_rows_f32 kernel, leading up to 25x perf improvement on kernel-level and 10% perf increase for Gemma3n (#15132)
* 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

Oliver SimonsandGitHub e2b7621e7c ggml : remove invalid portPos specifiers from dot files (#14838)
Neither "g" nor "x" are valid portPos specifiers per the official
[graphviz documents](https://graphviz.org/docs/attr-types/portPos/):

> If a compass point is used, it must have the form "n","ne","e","se","s","sw","w","nw","c","_".

I tested locally for it to fall back to default portPos specifier if an
invalid portPos is specified. As a consequence, we can remove associated
code.
