* 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

* ggml : make gallocr respect the backend's max buffer size
* if the graph requires more memory than can fit into a single allocation, split it into multiple backend buffers
* vulkan: report the actual max allocation size in buffer type interface
* fix missing newline, apple-clang warning
* track size of individual chunks in ggml_dyn_tallocr and raise max chunks.
revert to use suballocation_block_size as max chunk size for vulkan.
* track (chunk, offset) pairs instead of "global" offsets through gallocr.
* simpler, don't need loops to map between local/global offsets
* touches more code
* fix dyn_tallocr_max_size and initialization
* fix memory leak when buffers are reused due to same buffer type appearing multiple times
* make vbuffer allocation follow the same logic as backend_buffer did before
* continue to use leftover unallocated space of previous chunks after a new one has been created
* treat free blocks of each chunk as separate list
* they're still allocated together, but start/end of each chunk is tracked, and allocate/free iterate over sub-ranges
* exhaust freed blocks of all chunks before considering their last blocks with unallocated space
* start with 0 chunks/blocks and create chunks as needed
* allow the last chunk to grow beyond max size
* refactor: move adding new free block and new chunk into separate functions
* allocate chunks individually with a separate free-blocks list for each one
* needs a bit more memory/allocations/indirections, but code is simpler
* fix warnings (missing static) & debug checks
The following scenario will cause an assertion failure in the graph
allocator:
- Build and allocate a graph containing a tensor with a non-NULL data
pointer
- Build and allocate a new graph where that data is NULL
Result:
ggml-alloc.c:819: GGML_ASSERT(talloc->buffer_id >= 0) failed
This happens during revalidation because we think that memory should
have been previously allocated based on the current graph but in
reality the previous graph was different. In this situation, we
should do a full reallocation pass.
* Upgrade init_tensor API to return a ggml_status
To prepare for an 'abort-free' ggml
(ggml not to abort on OOMs but return a OOM status),
as agreeed with Diego in the ggml repo,
upgrade the init_tensor() and view_init() APIs
to return a ggml_status.
* misc fixes

This commit removes the return statement from ggml_gallocr_allocate_node
function.
The motivation behind this change is to make the code more readable and
consistent.
This commit removes the buffer_id field from the leaf_alloc struct.
The motivation for is that this field is only written to and never
read/used as far as I can tell. Each tensor_alloc has a buffer_id field
and this is what caused me to look into this more closely, to
understand what the buffer_id in leaf_alloc was used for.
