In --models mode the thread count per model is computed and printed,
but never set in the params, so every context runs on the common
default, the number of physical cores. With several models in
parallel this oversubscribes the CPU, and the busy-wait barriers of
the CPU backend make it collapse.
Set the count in cpuparams and cpuparams_batch.
* tests : consolidate the context state tests into test-llama-context
test-save-load-state, test-recurrent-state-rollback and
test-state-restore-fragmented check the same object from three places:
the KV cache and the recurrent state of a llama_context, saved, loaded,
copied, rolled back. Each had its own main, its own loop over the
models, its own copy of the token and the comparison helpers, and a run
of all three loaded the same models several times.
They are one binary now, and the case is the unit of the test:
tests/llama-context/test-case.h the interface a case implements
tests/llama-context/cases-kv.cpp the cases of the KV cache
tests/llama-context/cases-rs.cpp the cases of the recurrent state
tests/llama-context/test-util.cpp tokens, generation, comparison
tests/llama-context/test-runner.cpp the models of a case, on threads
tests/llama-context/test-log.cpp the log file of a model
A run is a table: a row per model, a column per case, a cell holds the
verdict of that pair. The models load on several threads (-j, --threads,
min(cores, 4) by default), the table is printed when it is complete and
the log of a model that failed is printed after it, in the order of the
rows. A case returns a verdict and the reason for it, and the runner is
the only one who reports - the test does not use tests/testing.h, a run
over 130 models is a matrix of verdicts and not a tree of subtests.
Staging no longer travels through the environment: llama_model_set_attn_rot
replaces the LLAMA_ATTN_ROT_DISABLE variable, which a model loaded in one
thread used to change for the models the other threads were loading, and
llama_memory_get_buffers is added for the cases that copy the buffers of
a memory. common_log_set_stdo keeps the console quiet while the table is
being built.
ggml_aligned_malloc allocates with posix_memalign when the thread
sanitizer is on. On macOS it allocates with the Mach VM, which the
sanitizer does not intercept, so it never sees a page range change hands
and reports the first write into recycled memory as a race - 30 of them
in this test, and every one of them false.
