Llama.cpp b10704 Release Optimizes CUDA Path
The b10704 release of llama.cpp brings a notable improvement for CUDA users by optimizing the fast mm_ids_helper path for any n_expert_used. This enhancement allows configurations like n_expert_used = 10 to benefit from the fast path, boosting prompt processing speeds from 2334 to 2600 tokens per second on an RTX PRO 6000. While token generation remains unchanged, this update significantly enhances performance for models utilizing multiple experts. The release continues to support diverse platforms, ensuring developers can leverage these improvements across different environments.

llama.cpp b10707 release improves sequence scan efficiency
The latest b10707 release of llama.cpp introduces a significant optimization in sequence scanning, enhancing performance without altering behavior. By stopping the sequence scan once all relevant sequences are seen, the update boosts context generation speeds notably, with 55k context generation improving from 56.3 to 74.3 tokens per second. This change primarily affects the n-gram path, with gains increasing alongside context size. While prompt processing remains unchanged, the update demonstrates llama.cpp's ongoing commitment to refining performance for developers working with large contexts.
