9aa2807769 hexagon: improved Op queuing, buffer and cache management (#21705)
* hexagon: introduce op request batching and rewrite buffer managment

The host now prepares batches of requests and dispatches them via a single dspqueue message.

Buffers are mapped explicitly by NPU while processing batches.

* hex-dma: disable l2 bypass since to work around new issue due to no flushes between Ops

* hex-utils: add explicit l2flush and l2clear helpers

* hex-opreq: use fine-grain per tensor l2 management

* hex-opreq: avoid redundant invalidates for tensors we already flushed

* hex-opreq: update debug messages

* htp-opreq: reuse ops_context

* hex-opreq: do not flush or invalidate cache lines beyond buffer boundry

* hex-opreq: fix errors in log message

* Revert "hex-opreq: do not flush or invalidate cache lines beyond buffer boundry"

This reverts commit 8b7f0a55a750a6430ce4eb1874c7feb3d720056d.

* hexagon: limit l2 flushes to 1MB which covers l2 cache

* hex-opreq: limit cache flush to 4MB

Looks like 4MB cont. vitual space should cover the 1MB cache.

* hexagon: drop cache flush size to 2MB

* hex-opreq: start reworking opreq packing

* hex-opreq: introduce new way of packing opbatch where tensors are stored separately

* hex-opreq: add a simple fastrpc call to force unmap all buffers

* hex-l2flush: somehow 2MB does not seem robust, also cleanup step size to use line-size

* hex-opreq: bump opreq batch size to 256

* hex-mm: place src1 spad at the top of vtcm for easy reuse

* hex-ops: introduce internal types and disable src1 reuse for now

Nothing new just formalizing the repack / qyn.quant types we've been using.

* htp-opreq: use tensor pointers instead of copies

* hex-opreq: introduce more robust way for tracking vtcm/spad reuse

This removes the SKIP_QUANTIZE flag that became fragile with the addition of HMX and other ops.

* hex-cumsum: fix error post opreq merge

* hex-opreq: move request batch handling into the session

Prepping everything for using dspqueue buffers and doing that inside the session is much cleaner.

* hex-mm: yet another fix for src1 reuse when we're mixing hmx/hvx

* hex-bufs: introduce pinned mmapings and use non-pinned ones for model buffers

* hex-buf: add support for allocating shared/pinned buffer for opreqs

* hex-opbatch: make opbatches configurable

* hex-naming: better name for ggml_hexagon_shared_buffer

* hex-naming: add session->c_name() helper

* hex-opbatch: start using shm but still copy for now

* hex-opbatch: use shared buffer for packing opbatch

* hex-opbatch: beter naming for opbatch related classes and code

* hex-opbatch: reuse batched tensors with same data/dims/strides

* hex-opbatch: update logging

* hex-opbatch: add support for vmem limit for op batching

* hex-opbatch: update htp side to properly support dynamic mmap/unmap

* hex-opbatch: add OB and OQ params for run-completion script and fix the asserts in batch processing

* hex-opbatch: fixed src1 handling in act ops

* hex-act: fix empty src1 handling in swiglu and friends

Simplify preamble macro while at it

* hex-mm: minor fix vtcm and dma handling in matmul

cleaning up some left-overs from merges

* hex-opbatch: allocate extra 1KB for dspqueue overhead

* hexagon: fix softmax for non-aligned tensors and cleanup vtcm alloc

* hex-mm: properly handle hmx_disabled flag

* hex-ops: update comments

* hex-ops: add debug output for get/set-rows

* hex-mmap: optimize un/mapping of buffers

* hex-opreq: global cache flush and invalidate beyond 128KB threshold

* hex-ops: add super simple opfilter regex for debugging

If an Op matches the regex hex backend will reject it.

* hex-opbatch: wireup newer ops missed in merge and update main switch to detect this in future

* hexagon: improved vtcm acquision to remove inter-op overhead

Fully compatible with QNN-HTP coex

* hex-mm: fixed hvx fallback path

* hex-mm: lower the vmem threshold a bit further to ~3GB

* hexagon: update debug & error logs

This also fixes an issue with newer llvm merging repack and non-repack
functions. We use those pointer to distinguish between buffer types.

* hexagon: move ops context into main context

Just a cleanup. We don't need separate contexts at this point.

* hex-opbatch: cleanup naming and headers for opbatch and related descriptors

* hex-fa: it's now better to enable FA during TG to reduce graph splits

* hexagon: remove GGML_HEXAGON_EXPERIMENTAL env var

It's no longer useful. Please use more flexible GGML_HEXAGON_OPFILTER to disable Ops
if needed for debugging or validation.

* hexagon: fixed editorconfig check

* Update ggml/src/ggml-hexagon/ggml-hexagon.cpp

Max Krasnyansky 7cadbfce10 hexagon: general DMA and Binary Op fixes for large strides (#20918)
* hex-dma: make chained dma the default to handle newer models

This also includes some new instrumentation that we can remove later.

* hexagon: add uint32 dump helper

* hexagon: use single-page VTCM allocation to avoid issues with large gather ops in ssm-conv

ssm-conv uses HVX gather instruction and that instruction cannot handle cases where the base+offset
spans page boundaries.

* hexagon: update ssm-conv to make base-addr compute a bit easier to read

* hex-dma: use 1d mode for reshaping, it supports sizes up to 24-bits (>16MB)

* hex-bin: fix incorrect stride logic

* hexagon: make sure repack buffs are dumped for verbose > 2

* hex-bin: consistently use dma_queue_push even for dummy dst transactions

* hex-dma: start using 2d-wide mode on v75 and up

The removes the need to deal with the 16-bit limitaion for the strides.

* hex-bin: cleanup kernel selection logic

* hex-bin: cleanup binary op core and fix transposed tensor handling

* snapdragon: update run-bench to use larger ubatch and fa-on

Max Krasnyansky cff777f226 hexagon: support for OP_CPY, host buffers now optional, hvx-utils refactoring and optimizations (#18822)
* hexagon: disable repack buffers if host buffers are disabled, improved handling of env vars

* hexagon: add support for OP_CPY fp16/fp32 -> fp16/fp32

Factore out all hvx_copy functions into hvx-copy.h header and reduced code duplication.
Update HTP ops infra to support OP_CPY

* hexagon: cleanup and refactor hex/hvx/htp headers and helper libs

hex is basically all scalar/core platform stuff (L2, DMA, basic utils)
hvx is all hvx related utils, helpers, etc
htp is higher level stuff like Ops, etc

hvx-utils library got a nice round of cleanup and refactoring to reduce duplication

use hvx_vec_store_a where possible

* hexagon: refactor HVX sigmoid functions to hvx-sigmoid.h

Moved sigmoid and tanh vector functions from hvx-utils.h to a new header
hvx-sigmoid.h. Implemented aligned and unaligned variants for sigmoid
array processing using a macro pattern similar to hvx-copy.h. Updated
act-ops.c to use the new aligned variant hvx_sigmoid_f32_aa. Removed
unused hvx-sigmoid.c.

* hexagon: factor out hvx-sqrt.h

* hexagon: mintor update to hvx-utils.h

* hexagon: remove spurios log

* hexagon: factor out and optimize hvx_add/sub/mul

* hexagon: remove _opt variants of add/sub/mul as they simply fully aligned versions

* hexagon: refactor reduction functions to hvx-reduce.h

Moved `hvx_self_max_f32` and `hvx_self_sum_f32` from `hvx-utils.h`/`.c` to `hvx-reduce.h`.
Renamed them to `hvx_reduce_max_f32` and `hvx_reduce_sum_f32`.
Added aligned (`_a`) and unaligned (`_u`) variants and used macros to unify logic.
Updated `softmax-ops.c` to use the new functions.

* hexagon: refactor the rest of arithmetic functions to hvx-arith.h

Moved `hvx_sum_of_squares_f32`, `hvx_min_scalar_f32`, and `hvx_clamp_scalar_f32` from `hvx-utils.c/h` to `hvx-arith.h`. Implemented aligned/unaligned variants (`_aa`, `_au`, etc.) and used macros to reduce code duplication. Updated `hvx_min_scalar_f32` and `hvx_clamp_scalar_f32` to use `dst, src, ..., n` argument order. Updated call sites in `act-ops.c`.

Refactor Hexagon HVX arithmetic functions (min, clamp) to hvx-arith.h

Moved `hvx_min_scalar_f32` and `hvx_clamp_scalar_f32` from `hvx-utils.c/h` to `hvx-arith.h`. Implemented aligned/unaligned variants (`_aa`, `_au`, etc.) and used macros to reduce code duplication. Updated these functions to use `dst, src, ..., n` argument order and updated call sites in `act-ops.c`. `hvx_sum_of_squares_f32` remains in `hvx-utils.c` as requested.

* hexagon: refactor hvx_sum_of_squares_f32

- Modify `hvx_sum_of_squares_f32` in `ggml/src/ggml-hexagon/htp/hvx-reduce.h` to use `dst, src` signature.
- Implement `_a` (aligned) and `_u` (unaligned) variants for `hvx_sum_of_squares_f32`.
- Update `hvx_reduce_loop_body` macro to support both returning and storing results via `finalize_op`.
- Update existing reduction functions in `hvx-reduce.h` to use the updated macro.
- Update `rms_norm_htp_f32` in `ggml/src/ggml-hexagon/htp/unary-ops.c` to match the new signature.

* hexagon: use hvx_splat instead of memset

* hexagon: consistent use of f32/f16 in all function names to match the rest of GGML

* hexagon: fix hvx_copy_f16_f32 on v75 and older

* hexagon: update readme to include GGML_HEXAGON_EXPERIMENTAL

* scripts: update snapdragon/adb scripts to enable host param

Max Krasnyanskyandchraac c273d75375 hexagon: various Op fixes (#17135)
* hexagon: explicitly check for ops with zero nrows

llm_graph_context::build_inp_out_ids() can generate tensors with zero nrows.
Somehow other backends seems to handle this without obvious explicit checks.
In the hexagon case we need to check explicitly and skip them.

* hexagon: introduce fastdiv, fix test-backend-ops for ADD/SUB/MUL

Co-authored-by: chraac <chraac@gmail.com>

* hexagon: use fastdiv in ADD_ID

* hexagon: use ggml_op_is_empty and ggml_is_empty to check for NOPs

63d2fc46e1 Add experimental ggml-hexagon backend for the Hexagon NPU (#16547)
* model: add support for extra bufs for all devices

* hexagon: add experimental ggml-hexagon backend for the Hexagon NPU

This commit introduces a new experimental backend `ggml-hexagon` with support for the Hexagon NPU.

Highlights:
- Supports Hexagon versions: v73, v75, v79, and v81
- Targets Android devices based on Snapdragon SoCs: Gen3, 8-Elite, and 8-Elite Gen5
- Supports Q4_0, Q8_0, MXFP4, and FP32 data types
- Implements core LLM ops: MUL_MAT/MUL_MAT_ID, ADD/SUB/MUL/ADD_ID, RMS_NORM, ROPE, GLU/SWIGLU, SOFTMAX

**Note:** This backend is experimental and may exhibit instability or limited performance across supported devices.
It is intended for early testing and feedback from llama.cpp/ggml developer and user community.
