Profiling showed the 2-slot rotation stalls ~5.5ms per layer waiting for
the down_exps upload: 3 tensors per MoE layer need 3 slots for a full
layer of lookahead. Default is now 3 (one layer), configurable via the
env var value, degrading to however many slots fit on OOM.
Also fixes a use-after-free: on a failed slot regrow the repointed
staging tensors kept dangling pointers into freed device memory, which
graph reuse carried into later evals. Staging repoints are now restored
right after kernel launch, slots are sized once from the graph max, and
allocation happens before freeing.
Qwen3.6-35B-A3B pp2048 on RTX 3060: 1643 -> 1880 t/s (mainline: 1143).
At large batch sizes virtually every expert is used, so the per-layer
routing-ids readback that mainline waits on buys nothing while forcing a
full device sync per expert tensor (3x per MoE layer). Above a batch
threshold, upload the full expert tensors through a second backend
instance on the same device (own stream) with two event-ordered staging
slots, so uploads for tensor N+1 overlap compute of tensor N.
Qwen3.6-35B-A3B pp2048 on RTX 3060 (-ncmoe 26, ub 2048): 1383 -> 1663 t/s.
Generation output verified token-identical; decode path unaffected.
Opt-in via GGML_SCHED_PREFETCH_EXPERTS=1.
Wire the existing GGML_CUDA_REGISTER_HOST path back up: after model load,
cudaHostRegister the mmap pages backing weights kept in system memory.
Recovers pageable-copy losses when MoE experts are streamed to the GPU
during prefill (n-cpu-moe): Qwen3.6-35B-A3B pp2048 1144 -> 1385 t/s on
RTX 3060. Opt-in via GGML_CUDA_REGISTER_HOST=1, unchanged otherwise.

Address @ngxson review: keep the explicit reject in port resolution so
the block stays self-contained. Non-http(s) schemes still throw (also

Expose the existing --offline flag to `llama download` so a script can
run it to check whether a model is already cached and ready to be served
without touching the network.
Also fix a latent use-after-free in the URL-task on_done callback:
first_path is block-scoped and was captured by reference, but invoked
after the block ends.

* opencl: rework FA kernel for f16 and f32
* opencl: flash-attention prefill prepass kernels
- flash_attn_kv_pad_f16 pads the tail KV tile to a BLOCK_N multiple
- flash_attn_mask_pad_f16 pads the matching mask tile
- flash_attn_blk_f16 classifies each KV tile per query block as
fully masked / mixed / fully unmasked, so
the main kernel can skip fully-masked tiles
and the mask lookup for fully-unmasked ones
* opencl: FA kernels for q4_0 and q8_0
* opencl: `set_rows` for f32 to q8_0/q4_0

* [CUDA] Added a cudaMemcpy2DAsync fast path to ggml_cuda_cpy
Add a CUDA ggml_cpy fast path for same-type, same-shape strided copies that are just 2D pitched block copies.
When tensors are not fully contiguous but each row is contiguous, it now uses cudaMemcpy2DAsync instead of the slow element-wise scalar copy kernel.
This fixes the GDN recurrent snapshot update with -np 4, where rollback slots are separated by cache stride gaps.
* Add new tests that execute the new optimized strided copy path
* Return unsupported for strided copy in OpenVINO, as new tests are failing
Tests are generally prefixed with -test, so rename export-graph-ops
accordingly.
rpc-server is probably too generic a name for /usr/bin. Because it
should work with any ggml application, it is renamed to ggml-rpc-server.
* CUDA: Improve performance via less synchronizations between token (#17795)
* Adds CPU-to-CUDA copy capability to
ggml_backend_cuda_cpy_tensor_async()
* Adds function to relax sync requirements between input copies on
supported backends (CUDA for now)
* Exchanges synchronous copy with async copy function.
* Adds macro guards to allow compilation in non-CUDA builds
* Reworked backend detection in ggml-backend.cpp to avoid linking
conflicts
* Relax requirement of checks in async CUDA copies from backend and buffer type to just buffer type, to avoid linking issues
* Minor cleanup
* Makes opt-in to relax use of explicit syncs more general. Backends like
vulkan which require a synchronization between HtoD copies and graph
execution could also adopt this change now.
* Reintroduces stricter check for CPU->CUDA backend async copy via
GGML_DEVICE_TYPE_CPU.
* Corrects initialization of ggml_backend_sync_mode in
ggml_backend_sched_split initialization
* Simplifies synchronizations to adhere to `saaasg` pattern.
* Apply suggestion from @ggerganov (src->buffer to buf_src)

* Adds single-GPU synchronizations to multi-GPU settings to fix hip backend pipeline parallel bugs.
* Scheduler Hardening: Exclude hip/MUSA from copy_from_host CPU split ->
GPU split optimization
* Scheduler Hardening: Re-adding original additional synchronizations for
non-async backends
* Adds disclaimer to hip/musa exclusion of copy_from_host. Highlights that it is out of
precaution, but that no perf-impact is visible, and that it can be
revisited separately anytime.
