llama.cpp b9788 release enhances dual-GPU support
The latest release of llama.cpp, b9788, introduces significant improvements for dual-GPU setups with SYCL support, particularly enhancing tensor parallelism. By implementing a degenerate ring all-reduce for dual-GPU configurations, the update optimizes performance for both small and large tensor operations, mirroring CUDA's NCCL allreduce pattern. This release notably boosts performance metrics, with Llama-3.3-70B and Qwen3-Coder-Next-80B-A3B models showing substantial speed improvements. The update positions llama.cpp as a more competitive option for multi-GPU environments, without adding new dependencies or altering build configurations.
