- 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
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.
