* metal: use uint16_t instead of uint8_t.
Apple GPU doesn't like uint8_t. For every operation on uint8_t
the gpu need to copy the uint8_t to an empty 16 bit register, then
it can issue other instructions.
For the matrix-vector multiplication kernel only, we observed a
340~350 GB/s memory read speed on M1 Max after this commit, which is
very close to the reported hardware limit.
* metal: update rms_norm kernel
This commit double the speed of rms_norm operations by using 512 threads
per threadgroup, combining with SIMD primitives to minimize the need for
thread group barriers.
* metal: use template to reduce size
Revert modifications on block_q4_0 and block_q4_1.
* Implement customizable RoPE
The original RoPE has pre-defined parameters
theta_i = 10000^(−2(i−1)/d), for i in [1, 2, ..., d/2]
Our customizable RoPE, ggml_rope_custom_inplace, uses
theta_i = scale * base^(−2(i−1)/d), for i in [1, 2, ..., d/2]
with the default matches the original
scale = 1.0
base = 10000
The new command line arguments
--rope-freq-base
--rope-freq-scale
set the two new RoPE parameter.
Recent researches show changing these two parameters extends the context limit with minimal loss.

Otherwise there isn't much benefit from this
quantization type. There is some very slight loss
in accuracy, but we reduce size by ~7%.
E.g., for OpenLLaMA-3B, Q3_K_S perplexity is
8.6131 with 8-bit scales and 8.6352 with 4-bit,
while file size decreases from 1.53G to 1.44G.

* metal : improve q4_K
28.3 -> 26.0 ms/token by avoiding a branch in the
calculation of the scales.
* metal : small improvement for Q4_K
* metal : still optimizing Q4_K
This commit pushes it down to 25.3 ms / token.
The crazy idea of using 6 bits for the scales is really costly on
Metal: if I remove the bit fiddling necessary to make the block
scales, time goes almost to the Q4_0 23 ms/token.
Before pushing the k-quants upstream I had a Q4_K variant that
had used 8-bit scales. It wasn't more accurate, used 0.125 bits more per weight,
was running slightly slower on the CPU (due to the larger model size
and being memory bound there), and the difference was entirely
negligible under CUDA. So, I decided to publish the version with 6-bit
scales. Perhaps I should re-consider and change to 8-bit scales?
* metal : some more optimizations
Q2_K: 25.4 ms/token
Q6_K: 27.3 ms/token
Q4_0: 22.8 ms/token
Q4_1: 23.1 ms/token
* metal : Q3_K support
Something is not quite right yet.
* metal : Q5_K support
Initial version achieves 31.2 ms/token, 210 GB/s
* metal : still not able to figure out why q3_K does not work
* Minor
* metal : yet another failed attempt to make q3_K work
* metal : optimize Q5_K
31.2 ms -> 27.8 ms.
250 GB/s.
* metal : q3_K still not working
Adding a heavily commented q3_K metal kernel to explain
my obviously faulty logic. Perhaps someone could spot the issue?
* metal : q3_K finally working
Not optimized at all.
What was the issue? The scales are not 4-bytes aligned,
and I was accessing them with a uint32_t pointer.
When I tried that on CUDA, I got an error (illegal memory access)
and added a memcpy to a local array of 3 uint32_t's.
But on Metal it told me there is no memcpy, so I tried
accessing directly. There is no error, just garbage results.
At some point I did try accessing the scales with an uint16_t
pointer (the scales are for sure 2-byte aligned), but was
still getting garbage. I guess, there must have been another bug.
No access to scales is via a uint16_t pointer and, after starting
from scratch from the C dequantize function, it finally works.
* metal : Q3_K 1st optimization pass
* metal : Q3_K second optimization pass - 29.6 ms/token

* metal : add Q2_K implementation
27.1 ms / token on M2 Max 30-core GPU, so about the
same speed as Q4_0. Memory throughput is ~156 GB/s.
The access pattern used in the Q2_K
CUDA implementation resulted in significantly lower
performance (~31 ms/token).

* Metal implementation for Q4_K
Very slow for now:
42 ms / token, Q4_0 runs in 28 ms/token on my
30-core M2 Max GPU.
* Optimizing Q4_K on metal
The first token always takes longer, I guess because
the metal kernel is being jit-compiled.
So, using n = 128 to measure time.
At this point Q4_K takes 29.5 ms / token
compared to 27.2 ms / token for Q4_0.
Quite a bit better than the initial attempt,
but still not good enough.
* Optimizing q4_K metal dot some more
For n = 256 it is now 28.1 ms/token compared to
27 ms/token for q4_0.
* Fix after merge with master
* Metal implementation for Q6_K
Similar to the CUDA implementation.
No idea if this is the optimum for Metal, but the few
alternative variants I tried all had a lower performance.
We get 36.5 ms / token on M2 Max with 30 GPU cores.
This corresponds to ~200 GB/second throughput.
* clang-tidy : add config back
* Much better Q6_K implementation for metal
28.3 ms / token for 7B. Subtracting ~9 ms that is spent in
other compute graph operations, we are left with ~19 ms
for the matrix multiplications. The model is ~5.5 GB,
so we are getting 1000 / 19 * 5.5 = 290 GB/s!
