Llama.cpp b9095 Release Enhances CUDA AllReduce
The latest b9095 release of llama.cpp introduces a significant update with an internal AllReduce kernel for CUDA, eliminating the need for NCCL in certain configurations. This update allows for a single-phase CUDA kernel that efficiently manages data transfer and reduction across GPUs, specifically targeting setups with two GPUs and FP32 tensors up to 256 KB. By providing an alternative to NCCL, this release offers more flexibility and potentially reduces dependencies for developers working with tensor parallelism. The update also includes improvements in error logging and a new watchdog feature to detect and address hangs, enhancing the robustness of the system.
