* Move quantization logic to GGML via new backend
This moves the model aware logic to Go code and calls GGMLs quantization code for model creation.
* Remove "add model quantizations"
This is no longer needed now that quantization is implemented in Go+GGML code directly.
Successfully completing processing with an errgroup cancels the
associated context. However, we also have a goroutine that is checking
for cancelation of the context. As a result, there is a race where
the goroutine can pick up the cancelation and report an error,
replacing the sucessful error message.
To avoid that, this replaces the goroutine with a cancelation check
when we are reading files. This also has the advantage of stopping
all reads relatively quickly on error and also ensuring that there are
no outstanding I/O operations when we return in this case.
The downside is that if a file read blocks forever (for example, over
the network) then cancelation of the context effectively won't be
honored. However, this is also true for other smaller files we read
and the tensors are read in small chunks (128K), so it's consistent
and better on balance overall.
Worst case graph preallocation was disabled by a27462b
"ollamarunner: Temporarily disable worst case graph preallocation"
since it caused crashes with large batches when not using the GPU.
This backports upstream llama.cpp commit f057808
"ggml: Don't assert fail when tensor data changes (#13222)", which
fixes the underlying bug and allows reverting the previous workaround.
When ggml_backend_buffer_free() is called, the device memory
is released but not all backends consistently release the actual
ggml_backend_buffer_t in system RAM, causing a memory leak.
Bug #10040
For every forward pass through the model, we need to allocate input
tensors: tokens, images, positions, outputs and masks. These get
allocated in system memory.
However, when we close the context that the tensors were allocated
through, the metadata gets freed but the actual backend memory does
not. This results in a significant memory leak.
This makes it so that all the memory allocated through a context
gets freed when it is closed.
Fixes#10040
Allocating (and in particular, freeing) memory from CUDA host buffers
is expensive and can cause a significant performance hit if we do
it for every token. Using normal system memory avoids this issue
and also gives the OS more flexibility to manage it.
There is no performance impact from this patch directly (either
positive or negative) but it makes a difference once we start
freeing memory correctly.
Context is currently mixed between pointer and value receivers. Change
this to be all pointer receivers so don't have to reason about whether
the things we are updating in the struct will be retained.
Sometimes loading the GGUF file fails with:
panic: context canceled
This is probably a filesystem error but it doesn't provide any
information about what happened.
Currently, the KV cache and graph are lazily allocated as needed.
The cache is fully allocated on first use of the corresponding
layer whereas the graph grows with the size of the context.
This can be an issue if another application allocates more VRAM
after we do our calculations - Ollama will crash in the middle of
inference. If we instead allocate the maximum needed memory at
startup of the runner, we will either succeed or fail at that point
rather than at some surprising time in the future.
Currently, this only generates a worst case batch for text, which
means that vision models may get a partial allocation and continue
to lazily allocate the rest.
If there is a CUDA OOM, we currently don't check the return value
and will evetually segfault. This checks for the problem and generates
a Go error. At the moment, this will still result in a panic but having
the error is the first step to being able to handle it more gracefully.
improves model loading times on network-based filesystems
such as GCS fuse by creating a dedicated file descriptor for each
section of the file being read, reducing seeking
Mistral is a popular research lab making open source models. This updates
the forward pass of llama architecture models to support both llama models
and mistral models by accounting for additional metadata present in mistral
models, and finding the correct dimensions for the output projection.
Model implementations should use Input for all of their tensors
supplied to the model. This includes tensors that relate to the
outputs, which is confusing since there is also an Output funciton.
Since Output is only used internally in GGML and not used by any
model implementations, we can remove it from the interface to
reduce confusion.
When converting a ggml model if there is a failure to read tensor data a nil error value was being returned. It should be assigned to the actual error from reading.
