The conditions cc == GGML_CUDA_CC_VOLTA || cc >= GGML_CUDA_CC_ADA_LOVELACE and cc >= GGML_CUDA_CC_TURING match all non-nvidia devices.

* CUDA: Fix CUB's argsort when nrows % block_size == 0 CCCL < 3.1
We wrongly calculated offset_grid as `ceildiv(nrows, block_size)`,
while it must be `ceildiv(nrows + 1, block_size)`. As a consequence, we
had uninitialized values in `offset_iterator[nrows]` for the case when
`nrows % block_size == 0`.
Fixes#21162
* Reduce nrows in test case to 256, don't need 768
* Optimize MOE GEMV kernel for BS > 1.
The previous MOE kernel for BS > 1 had too many thread blocks (nrows_x, nchannels_dst, ncols_dst), with very little work per block. block of (32, 4) was doing inner dot product for a single row.
New mul_mat_vec_q_moe kernel is dedicated for MoE multi-token kernel with grid (ceil(nrows_x/rpb), nchannels_dst), block (warp_size, ncols_dst). Each warp handles two rows independently with warp-level reduction only (no shared memory sync).
This change doesn't increase any compilation time as a single template instance is needed per type. This also simplifies the original GEMV kernel and gets rid of `is_multi_token_id` specialization.
* Remove em-dashes
* Cherry-pick changes from @am17an PR https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/20885 to enable small_k optimization only for cases where it benefits
Increase max batch size for MMVQ kernels for MUL_MAT_ID to 8
* Make the max batch size for MOE GEMV kernel configurable based on GPU arch and datatype

* Increase per-thread work if the K-dimension is small
With tensor parallelism, the K-dimension of the FFN-down matrices is split, which makes it quite small, especially for MOEs. For example, Qwen3-30b-A3B has a K-dimension of 768, and Qwen3235B-A22B has k-dimension of 1536.
The current heuristic uses a group of 4 warps irrespective of K-dimension size, resulting in some of the threads being idle. This results in poor performance for these matrices.
This change increases the number of output elements per block for such cases.
* Limit this change to ncols_dst = 1
* tab to space
* ggml/hip: fix APU compatibility - soft error handling for hipMemAdviseSetCoarseGrain
On AMD APU/iGPU devices (unified memory architecture), hipMemAdviseSetCoarseGrain
returns hipErrorInvalidValue because the hint is not applicable to UMA systems.
The previous CUDA_CHECK() call treated this as a fatal error, causing crashes on
APU systems such as AMD Strix Halo (gfx1151).
Fix: treat hipMemAdviseSetCoarseGrain as an optional performance hint - call it
without error checking and clear any resulting error with hipGetLastError().
Also add pre-allocation debug logging (GGML_LOG_DEBUG) to help diagnose memory
issues on APU systems, and store totalGlobalMem in device info.
Context: AMD APUs on Windows are affected by a ROCm runtime bug that limits
hipMallocManaged to ~64GB regardless of available system RAM. A fix has been
submitted upstream: https://github.com/ROCm/rocm-systems/pull/4077

* ggml : transpose fused GDN state access for coalesced memory reads (#20436)
The fused Gated Delta Net kernel accessed the [S_v, S_v] state matrix
column-wise on row-major storage, causing strided reads (stride S_v =
128 floats = 512 bytes) that waste GPU cache bandwidth. This produced a
39% regression on Qwen3.5-9B (Metal, M4 Max) compared to the unfused
path.
Transpose the state indexing so threads read contiguously:
- Metal: s_ptr[is*S_v] -> s_ptr[is] (stride 1 vs S_v)
- CUDA: curr_state[i*S_v+col] -> curr_state[col*S_v+i] (coalesced)
- CPU: restructured loops for row-wise transposed access
Also add --fused-gdn [on|off|auto] CLI flag (mirrors --flash-attn) so
users can control fused GDN independently of auto-detection.
All GATED_DELTA_NET backend-ops tests pass.

* ggml : use SIMD dot products in CPU GDN kernel, couple AR/chunked fused flags
- Replace scalar inner loops with ggml_vec_dot_f32 for SIMD-optimized
dot products in the CPU fused GDN kernel (delta and attention output)
- Couple fused_gdn_ar and fused_gdn_ch flags in auto-detection: if one
path lacks device support, disable both to prevent state layout mismatch
between transposed (fused) and non-transposed (unfused) formats

Add a fused Metal kernel for the gated delta net recurrence op

32, non-contiguous tensors) gracefully fall back to CPU.

* Add FastDiv to gated_delta_net_cuda

1. Use ggml_cuda_get_physical_warp_size() to determine warp size flexibly
