* cuda: fuse FFN gate/up and GLU in MMQ with interleaved gate/up rows For prompt processing, run the gate and up matmuls of a dense FFN as one mul_mat_q launch and apply the GLU in the write-back. - The loaders take the gate weights as a second pointer and fill the weight tile with up and gate rows interleaved in chunks of 8, so each thread holds an up value and the matching gate value (rows r and r + 8 of an MMA tile). - The MMA loop is unchanged: same tile, warp layout, vec_dot and one sum[] per thread. The fused write-back computes the GLU from registers and writes half the rows. - The fused path uses the regular tiling (no stream-k) with the column tiles innermost so that neighbouring blocks share weight tiles. - Enabled for Q4_K, Q5_K, Q6_K, Q8_0 and IQ4_XS on NVIDIA Turing and newer. * cuda: assert the fused MMQ gate argument and trim redundant comments * cuda: move the fused MMQ hint check to should_fuse and add TODOs * cuda: pass prec_src1 to the fused MMQ write-back * cuda: fuse only with efficient tiling and no fallback, merge the GLU write-back * cuda: require has_fusion explicitly, drop the fusion-only src1 precision check * cuda: launch the fused MMQ kernel through the stream-k kernel with one block per tile * cuda: inline the MMQ tiling-efficiency check * tests: one fused gate/up MMQ case per type and GLU op * cuda: always launch the fused MMQ kernel with one block per tile * tests: shorten the fused gate/up MMQ test comment * cuda: select the fused MMQ loader and write-back in ggml_cuda_mmq_get_util_funcs * cuda: run the fused MMQ kernel on the plain tiling path * cuda: put the column tiles innermost in the MMQ plain tiling path

Description
The main goal of llama.cpp is to enable LLM (and VLM) inference with minimal setup and state-of-the-art performance on
a wide range of hardware - locally and in the cloud.
- Plain C/C++ implementation without any dependencies
- Apple silicon is a first-class citizen - optimized via ARM NEON, Accelerate and Metal frameworks
- AVX, AVX2, AVX512 and AMX support for x86 architectures
- RVV, ZVFH, ZFH, ZICBOP and ZIHINTPAUSE support for RISC-V architectures
- 1.5-bit, 2-bit, 3-bit, 4-bit, 5-bit, 6-bit, and 8-bit integer quantization for faster inference and reduced memory use
- Custom CUDA kernels for running LLMs on NVIDIA GPUs (support for AMD GPUs via HIP and Moore Threads GPUs via MUSA)
- Vulkan and SYCL backend support
- CPU+GPU hybrid inference to partially accelerate models larger than the total VRAM capacity
The llama.cpp project is build on top of the ggml library.
