* Removes __restrict__ from PDL kernel headers due to incompatibility with
PDL. Adds preprocessor directives based on arch in kernel body to add
__restrict__ to retain performance on older architectures.
* Simplifies new __restrict__ usage via macro
* Add hopper to PDL __restrict__ fix.

* Adds initial PDL setup.
* Adds PDL barriers based on simple heuristic: place "sync" before first input pointer access, and "launch" after last write, e.g. to tensors like dst.
* Further optimization pass of the first half of kernels
* Optimized PDL barriers for the second batch of kernels
* Further refinements after rebase.
* Moves pdl logic to separate function, removes some whitespace
* Strips post-hoc PDL logic
* Adds stream capture PDL setup. Enrolls quantize_q8_1 to leverage pdl to
overlap execution with previous kernels
* Enrolls mul_mat_vec_q, rms_norm_f32 and k_bin_bcast (partly) into PDL
* Enrolls mmvf, rope, set-rows and topk kernels for gpt-oss into PDL
* Introduce ggml_cuda_kernel_launch, to abstract away cudaLaunchKernelEx,
to enable hip/musa compatibility
* Enrolls cpy_scalar_contiguous, k_get_rows_float and rms_norm_f32
* Enrolls flash_attn_combine_results
* Fix: Drops needless and broken check of CUDA arch for PDL. PDL either
works or is without effect.
* Enrolls flash-attention kernels to pdl
* Fix: inlines ggml_cuda_kernel_launch, and uses perfect forwarding for
kernels args. This fixes PDL.
* Perf: Enrolls k_bin_bcast variadic template invocation into PDL, via
and template alias and template expansion
* Enrolls all remaining kernels for qwen3-coder-next into PDL
* Remove all PDL LC calls to create a baseline
* Added LC according to internal guidance and tested kernel performance.
* Enrols missing qwen3-5 kernels passively into PDL.
* Kernel optimizations (LC signals) for qwen3.5
* Enrolls ssm-scan kernels into PDL
* Adds GGML_CUDA_PDL command line option to toggle PDL.
* Fix: Ada and lower compilation by guarding PDL calls correctly
* Cleanup: Removes commented out GGML_CUDA_PDL_LC
* Cleanup: Removes experimental comments
* Adds 90-virtual to build script so that Hopper GPUs can leverage PDL.
* Adds stricter checks to enable PDL, adds env-check to disable it, and removes now superfluous compile option to enable PDL.
* Fix: Correct PDL en/disablement based on device-side arch check. Host
side check is UB. Required moving from macros to inlined functions
* Fix: default-disable PDL. Enable by setting GGML_CUDA_ENABLE_PDL=1
* Enable PDL by default for Hopper+ devices
* Enrolls softcap_f32 and two flash_attn kernels into PDL.
* Improves flash attn PDL barrier placement
* Fix: Perf regression on ada; excludes ada and below from PDL launches
* Improves some sync barrier placements
* Drops superfluous constructor
* Adds #endif guard comments
* Reverts experimental change to top-k-moe.cu, which moved expensive allocations
in front of the PDL barrier. It did not have a meaningful impact.
* Exchanges GGML_CUDA_DISABLE_PDL with GGML_CUDA_PDL. IFF GGML_CUDA_PDL=0
PDL is disabled
* Revert "Drops superfluous constructor". Adds const to remaining
arguments
This reverts commit 12b1d250da0089ae02a9bb71bbb3fd6d70f6f2f1.
* Cleanup: Removes and fixes some comments and whitespace
* Clarifies comment of sync-barrier position
* Relocates and refactors PDL launch functions and accessories
* Adds error checking to the regular kernel launch path
* Drops "auto" in favor of "ggml_cuda_kernel_params"
* Adds "const" to ggml_cuda_kernel_launch_params
* [Whitespace] Adds final newline to common.cuh to make editorconfig CI job happy
* CUDA: Refactor and expose two_stage_warp_reduce_* function
* Use `two_stage_warp_reduce` also in softmax kernel, move smem out of it
Moving smem out of `__device__` function to `__global__` function
allows for explicit smem reuse, as either compiler or cuda rt seem to not
free it afterwards (`cudaFuncSetAttribute` fails when not accounting for
it once for each call to two_stage_warp_reduce)
* Update ggml/src/ggml-cuda/common.cuh
Co-authored-by: Aman Gupta <amangupta052@gmail.com>
* Use two_stage_warp_reduce in group_norm_f32
* Use two_stage_warp_reduce in rms_norm_f32
* Fix smem calculation which expects bytes
* Make `two_stage_warp_reduce` accept all values warp_reduce accepts
Also integrate it into norm_f32 function
* Use two_stage_warp_reduce in l2_norm_f32
* Use type traits for block reduction for better legibility
Also adresss other requests by @am17an such as variable renaming
* Make norm tests cover all cuda paths
* Mark columns % WARP_SIZE !=0 as supported for RMS_NORM_BACK
Unit-tests passed locally, let's see if they pass in the CI as well
* Use `enum class` for `block_reduce_method`
This is more type-safe than plain enum
* Rename variables as suggested in code review by @am17an
* Rename two_stage_warp_reduce -> block_reduce
* Fix trailing whitespace in common.cuh
* Make condition of static_assert type-dependent
This delays evaluation until the template is actually instantiated.
Otherwise, some compilers may evaluate the assert when parsing the
template, resulting in build errors as observed here:

* Factor out `reduce_rows_f32` from common.cuh
This increases iteration cycle speed by not having to recompile
every kernel all the time
* Hide memory-latency by loop unrolling in reduce_rows_f32
* Further optimizations to `reduce_rows_f32`
1. Increase threadblock size to better hide latency of memory requests.
As a consequence of bigger threadblocks, do 2-step summation, using
shared memory to communicate results between invocations
2. Use sum_temp array to reduce waits on sum
3. Adjust num_unroll to reflext bigger threadblock
4. Improve default block_dims, increase support for more block_dims
* Add perf tests for `reduce_rows_f32` kernel
* Add heuristic to toggle 128/512 threads based on sm count
Break even point was the minimum of the following multiples.
| GPU Model | Nrow SM Count Multiple |
| ----------- | ----------- |
| RTX 4000 SFF ADA | 2.0x |
| RTX 6000 ADA | 2.5x |
| RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q | 3.04x |
| RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell | 3.15x |
* Ensure perf gains also for small ncols and large nrows
Alternative to this, one could have also made the number of unrollings
template-able, but that would require compiling the kernel multiple
times, increasing binary size unnecessarily
* Modify perf and unit-tests
* Apply auto-formatting by clang
* Fix CI build failure
See https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/actions/runs/16798370266/job/47573716079?pr=15132#step:7:486
Building with VS generator worked though.
* Remove sm_count property from `ggml_backend_cuda_context`
Requested by @JohannesGaessler, and should fix remaining CI issues as a
side-effect
* Add CUB-based implementation for GGML_OP_MEAN
Currently this branch is only executed for nrows==1
* Add heuristics to execute CUB branch only when it brings perf
Heuristics were determined on the following HW:
* RTX 4000 SFF ADA
* RTX 6000 ADA
* RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q
* RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell
* Add unit-test for CUB-based mean
Tests should run with CUDA Graphs enabled per default on NVGPUs
* Rename `USE_CUB` to `GGML_CUDA_USE_CUB`
Suggested by @JohannesGaessler
* Unindent Preprocessor directives
