llama.cpp b9491 release addresses PDL race conditions
The b9491 release of llama.cpp resolves PDL race conditions by eliminating 'restrict' from PDL kernel headers, which were previously causing compatibility issues. This update introduces preprocessor directives to ensure performance is maintained on older architectures while simplifying the use of 'restrict' through macros. Additionally, the release addresses the PDL restrict issue on Hopper architectures. These changes are crucial for developers as they enhance compatibility and performance across different operating systems and hardware configurations, making llama.cpp more robust and versatile.
