* ggml: backend-agnostic tensor parallelism
* support for GPT-OSS, Qwen 3 MoE
* partial Vulkan fix
* add support for 4/8 GPUs
* unconditional peer access
* re-use buffers + ggml contexts
* fix output pattern
* NCCL support
* GGML: HIP: add RCCL support
* Remove shfl and AllReduce from backend interface
* move allocation workaround out of ggml-alloc.c
* 2d tensor set/get support
* Fix the seg fault without NCCL
* Apply suggestion from JohannesGaessler
* support for tensor dims % n_devs != 0
* fix view_offs scaling
* arbitrary num. of GPUs/tensor split
* fix compilation
* better granularity estimate
* Support device-specific host buffer types if all underlying backends expose the same type. This allows using pinned memory instead of pageable memory for CUDA.
Fix compilation errors.
* partial Qwen 3 Next support
* Fix qwen3 30b (#8)
* Fix crash with Qwen-30B-A3B Q4_0
Qwen-30B-A3B Q4_0 has an intermediate dimension of 768. Using a granularity of 256 forces an uneven split between GPUs, which is not supported by the current implementation.
* Decide block size based on tensor quantization type
* Fix crashes due to KV cache serialization (#9)
KV cache serialization requires non-zero offsets on the tensor. Add support in the meta backend to set/get a tensor with a non-zero offset.
* metal : fix build (#7)
* static memory allocations, fix usage count
* fix tensor granularity
* more even memory distribution
* use BF16 for allreduce
* rebase fixup
* better error message for unsupported architectures
* Fix device mismatch during scatter of allReduce. (#11)
There is a mismatch between the dst buffer device and the backend device, causing the use of sync copies
* Enable the previous allreduce implementation. It is better in both perf and stability (#12)
* delay AllReduce for Moe for less I/O
* build : clean-up compile warnings
* backend : move most of the meta backend API to ggml-backend-impl.h
* cont : hide unused public API in the implementation
* llama : use llama_device + remove ggml_backend_dev_is_meta()
* ggml-backend : remove unused alloc include
* minor : remove regex include
* ggml : introduce ggml-ext.h for staging new APIs
* rebase fixup
* fix tests
* llama : more robust logic for determining Meta devices (#16)
* llama : more robust logic for determining Meta devices
* cont : fix devs size check

* ggml-virtgpu-backend: validate the consistency of the received objects
This patch adds consistency checks in the
ggml-virtgpu-backend (running on the host side) to ensure that the
data received from the guest is consistent (valid pointers, valid
sizes and offsets).
* ggml-virtgpu-backend: add fallback/skips for optional ggml backend methods
```
1. bck->iface.synchronize(bck)
2. buft->iface.get_alloc_size(buft, op)
3. buft->iface.get_max_size(buft)
```
these three methods are optional in the GGML interface. `get_max_size`
was already properly defaulted, but `backend sychronize` and `butf
get_max_size` would have segfaulted the backend if not implemented.
* ggml-virtgpu-backend: fix log format missing argument
* ggml-virtgpu-backend: improve the abort message
* ggml-virtgpu-backend: more safety checks
* ggml-virtgpu-backend: new error code
* ggml-virtgpu-backend: initialize all the error codes
* ggml-virtgpu: add a missing comment generated by the code generator
* ggml-virtgpu: add the '[virtgpu]' prefix to the device/buffer names
* ggml-virtgpu: apir_device_buffer_from_ptr: improve the error message
* ggml-virtgpu: shared: make it match the latest api_remoting.h of Virglrenderer APIR
(still unmerged)
* ggml-virtgpu: update the code generator to have dispatch_command_name in a host/guest shared file
* ggml-virtgpu: REMOTE_CALL: fail if the backend returns an error
* docs/backend/VirtGPU.md: indicate that the RAM+VRAM size is limed to 64 GB with libkrun
* ggml-virtgpu: turn off clang-format header ordering for some of the files
Compilation breaks when ordered alphabetically.
* ggml-virtgpu: clang-format
* ggml-virtgpu/backend/shared/api_remoting: better comments for the APIR return codes
