* cann: add support for partial RoPE and Vision mode
Add support for two important RoPE variants: partial rotation (rope_dims < ne0)
and Vision mode rotation.
1. Support for partial RoPE (rope_dims < ne0):
- Split tensor into head (first rope_dims dimensions) and tail portions
- Apply rotation only to head portion using RotaryPositionEmbedding operator
- Copy unrotated tail portion directly from source to destination
- Handle both contiguous and non-contiguous tensor layouts
2. Support for Vision mode (GGML_ROPE_TYPE_VISION):
- Set rope_dims = ne0 for Vision mode to rotate entire tensor
- Vision mode pairs dimension i with dimension i+n_dims (where n_dims = ne0/2)
- No tail handling needed since entire tensor is rotated
Implementation details:
- Use has_tail flag to determine execution path: head/tail splitting when
rope_dims < ne0, or full tensor rotation when rope_dims == ne0
- Support both F32 and F16 data types with intermediate F32 conversion
- Copy non-contiguous tensors to contiguous buffers before calling
RotaryPositionEmbedding operator for compatibility
- Improve cache invalidation logic to include rope_dims and indep_sects
parameters
These enhancements enable CANN backend to handle various RoPE configurations
used in modern vision-language models and models with partial rotation.
* cann: fix review comment
* CANN: ROPE supports both MROPE and IMROPE.
1. Optimize the caching logic of rope_cache_init.
2. Add support for mRoPE and i-mRoPE.
Note that on Ascend 910B devices, it is necessary to disable FA
in CLIP and disable NZ-format conversion. These two issues are
still under investigation.
* Resolve review comments
* cann: fix acl_tensor_ptr usage in ASCEND_310P ROPE implementation
Fix compilation errors in the ASCEND_310P-specific ROPE operation code
by adding .get() calls when passing acl_tensor_ptr smart pointers to
functions expecting raw aclTensor* pointers.
This fixes the code that was missed in the previous refactoring commit
(8981848) which changed ggml_cann_create_tensor() return type from
aclTensor* to acl_tensor_ptr.
* cann: format code
* CANN: Use smart pointers to manage ACL objects
Previously, ACL objects were managed via manual destruction, which
led to multiple memory-leak issues during runtime. This patch replaces
manual memory management with smart pointers so that ACL objects
are properly released and ownership is clearly defined.
Note that the ownership of an ACL object belongs to the function
that creates it. Other internal functions should operate on these ACL
objects using raw pointers to avoid unintended ownership transfers.
Additionally, since aclTensorList automatically frees its contained
aclTensor objects, any aclTensor added to a tensor list must release
ownership to avoid double free operations.
This PR also removes the asynchronous task submission mechanism.
Due to changes in recent CANN versions, tiling time has significantly
decreased. Even with a dual-thread submission model, the dispatch
overhead still falls on the critical path, making async submission
less beneficial. Moreover, aclGraph support provides a much better
path to reducing operator dispatch latency.
* CANN: resolve review comments
* update L2_NORM op support
* update L2_NORM op support
* remove extra whitespace
* cann: update cross_entropy_loss op support
* remove trailing whitespaces
* rebase the latest code in the main repository and remove the l2_norm operator that already exists in another pull request.
* undo the l2_norm operator deletion
* cann: improve device ID handling and aclnnArange checks
- Stop relying on CANN's internal device ID retrieval; use a global variable instead.
- Enforce stricter dimension validation in aclnnArange for better compatibility across CANN versions.
* cann: use thread local var
This commit applies .clang-format rules to all source files under the
ggml-cann directory to ensure consistent coding style and readability.
The .clang-format option `SortIncludes: false` has been set to disable
automatic reordering of include directives.
No functional changes are introduced.

This commit fixes a CPU-side memory leak issue in the CANN backend,
which occurred when intermediate aclTensorList objects were not properly
released after operator execution. The leak happened during repeated
invocations of CANN ops (e.g., FlashAttention), leading to increasing
host memory usage over time.
Proper resource cleanup (aclDestroyTensorList and related release logic)
has been added to ensure that all temporary tensors are correctly freed.
Many Ascend operators internally use FP16 precision for computation.
If input data is in FP32, it must first be cast to FP16 before
computation, and then cast back to FP32 after computation, which
introduces unnecessary cast operations. Moreover, FP16 computation
requires significantly less workload compared to FP32, leading to
noticeable efficiency improvements.
In this change, `get_rows`, `rms_norm`, and `flash_attn_ext` are extended
to support multiple data types. Validation on the Qwen2 0.5b model shows
correct accuracy and about 10% performance gain in concurrent scenarios.

* CANN: Add ROPE sin/cos cache for reuse
Introduce sin/cos caching mechanism in ROPE to avoid redundant
computation across layers. The cache is built on the first layer
per device and reused by subsequent layers if parameters match.
- Added sin_cache / cos_cache pointers and position_length tracking
- Introduced cache validity flags and properties:
(ext_factor, theta_scale, freq_scale, attn_factor, is_neox)
- Accelerates ROPE by eliminating repeated sin/cos generation
This change reduces overhead in multi-layer scenarios while
preserving correctness by verifying parameter consistency.

Fixes#15330
Adjust the allocation size of acl_rstd. The parameter `dims` is set to 3 according to the CANN documentation.
Co-authored-by: Yuchuan <yuchuan-cao@users.noreply.github.com>
Previously, the slope tensor was set to fp16 to improve efficiency.
While this worked correctly in FA, it caused precision issues in soft_max.
This change applies different data types for different operators
to balance both accuracy and performance.
* CANN: fix RoPE cache issue on multi-device
RoPE cache only needs to be computed once per token.
However, in multi-device scenarios, not every device starts
computation from layer 0, which may lead to unallocated memory
issues and precision errors.
This commit records the first layer of each device to avoid
the above issues.
* CANN: Optimize first-layer detection method
* CANN: Remove trailing whitespace
* CANN: Only cache the data that can be determined as unchanged through the parameters.
* CANN: Update function comment
* CANN(flash-attn): refactor mask handling and improve performance
1. Refactored the mask computation in Flash Attention, unified the logic without separating prefill and decode.
2. Optimized performance in non-alibi scenarios by reducing one repeat operation.
3. Updated operator management to explicitly mark unsupported cases on 310P devices and when dim is not divisible by 16.

Submit operators using asynchronous threads to improve performance.
Use the environment variable GGML_CANN_ASYNC_MODE to control whether
asynchronous submission is enabled. It is disabled by default.
Testing shows a 10%–20% performance improvement in scenarios with
small parameter sizes, especially in quantized models.
Multiple optional memory pools are provided for CANN, including VMM,
priority queue-based, and traditional memory pools.
1.When the memory pool is available and GGML_CANN_DISABLE_VMM_POOL
is not defined, the VMM pool is selected by default.
2.Otherwise, if GGML_CANN_ENABLE_BUF_PRIO_POOL is defined,
the priority queue-based memory pool is used.
3.If neither condition is met, the default memory pool is used.
