* opencl: decline KV-convert flash_attn variants on Adreno A7X (compiler SIGSEGV)
The Adreno 740 (A7X) compiler E031.41 crashes inside clBuildProgram when
building the flash_attn programs whose KV path is mixed-type or dequantized:
flash_attn_f32_f16, flash_attn_f32_q8_0, flash_attn_f32_q4_0. It is a driver
crash rather than a compile-error return, so build_program_from_source_ex()
cannot catch it. The uniform f32 and f16 programs build correctly.
Decline the three KV-convert variants on the A7X in supports_op so they never
lazy-compile; those attention layers run on the CPU backend instead. Same
idiom as the existing Intel DK=512 and X1E carve-outs.
test-backend-ops FLASH_ATTN_EXT on the 740: 226 OK / 0 FAIL, previously exit
139. Other parts are unaffected - the gate is dead code there.
* opencl: fix q6_K flat mul_mat on older Adreno E031 compilers, gated
kernel_mul_mv_q6_K_f32_flat produces ~10x-wrong output on the older Adreno
E031 compilers while q4_K and q5_K are correct. Four codegen defects, each
confirmed on-device against the CPU reference:
1. 64-bit ulong arithmetic is miscompiled, so every weight and scale read
hit the wrong address - the primary cause, and why q5_K (int offsets)
was unaffected. The block index is computed in int and widened only
inside the pointer expression.
2. The vectorized dequant (int4/float4 bit-ops, convert_*4, dot()) is
miscompiled; the 6-bit weights are reconstructed and the dot done
scalar.
3. vload4 of the f32 activations is miscompiled; replaced by a
scalar-indexed load.
4. The accumulation is miscompiled unless a side effect forces the partial
sums to materialize. A printf under a guard the compiler cannot prove
false acts as a zero-cost optimizer barrier; its placement is
load-bearing.
The defect tracks the compiler, not the GPU generation: it reproduces on
E031.38 (Adreno 642L) and E031.41 (Adreno 740) and is fixed by E031.45
(Adreno 619), so the workarounds are gated on the compiler version. Where
they are not needed they cost real throughput - 42.4 -> 35.1 GFLOPS on an
Adreno 840 q6_K GEMV. The explicit compiler-type check is required, not
redundant: newer_than_or_same() is false for every non-E031 compiler, so
negating it alone would enable the workarounds on E17 and DX.
test-backend-ops MUL_MAT is 919/919 on the Adreno 740, 642L, 619, 840 and
850; the 740 and 642L were 909/919 before. The 642L additionally needs the
A6X per-kernel-program support to reach these tests at all.

llama.cpp
LLM inference in C/C++
manifesto / ggml / ops / maintainer PRs / compile times / lib llama API / llama-server REST API
Quick start
A few options to get llama.cpp installed on your machine:

Description
The main goal of llama.cpp is to enable LLM (and VLM) inference with minimal setup and state-of-the-art performance on
a wide range of hardware - locally and in the cloud.
- Plain C/C++ implementation without any dependencies
- Apple silicon is a first-class citizen - optimized via ARM NEON, Accelerate and Metal frameworks
- AVX, AVX2, AVX512 and AMX support for x86 architectures
- RVV, ZVFH, ZFH, ZICBOP and ZIHINTPAUSE support for RISC-V architectures
- 1.5-bit, 2-bit, 3-bit, 4-bit, 5-bit, 6-bit, and 8-bit integer quantization for faster inference and reduced memory use
- Custom CUDA kernels for running LLMs on NVIDIA GPUs (support for AMD GPUs via HIP and Moore Threads GPUs via MUSA)
- Vulkan and SYCL backend support
- CPU+GPU hybrid inference to partially accelerate models larger than the total VRAM capacity
The llama.cpp project is build on top of the ggml library.
