Release Notes
hexagon: MUL_MAT and MUL_MAT_ID rework : 32x32 tiled weight repack, kernel-params, cached graphs (#24954)
hex-mm: new weight layout and fusion updates
hvx-mm: unroll the new tiled vec_dots to optimize hvx register util
hex-mm: optimize dyn.quant format for q8_0 and q8_1 to reduce overhead in vec_dots.
hvx-mm: parallel quantizer per block for large rows
hvx-mm: simplify and futher optimize dyn.quant and vec_dots
hvx-mm: keep intermediate per tile accumulators in fp16
hmx-mm: optimize weight dequant by aligning the repacked tiles with the DMA
hmx-mm: remove qweight scratch and just use vtcm_weight
hmx-mm: remove all unused and obsolete code
hmx-mm: the new tiled repack format is here to stay -- rename all x4x2 to _tiled
hmx-mm: improve activation processing with dma prefetch
hex-mm: fix hmx/hvx fallback logic and MUL_MAT_ID allocation (unbreaks OLMoE)
hex-mm: align the weight tiles with dma just like we did in hmx-mm
hex-mm: factor out common mm bits into htp/matmul-ops.h
hex-mm: start moving mm kernel selection to the host
hex-mm: move all of the matmul param compute into the host
hmx-mm: restore pipelined mode
hmx-mm: unroll the dequant functions to optimize register usage
hmx-mm: further improve activation process
hex-mm: use vtcm_seq_alloc for all vtcm allocations and define more common functions
hex-mm: improve mm optimizer to acount for number of activation threads
hex-mm: fix matmul-id kernel params selection (unbreaks OLMoE and LFM)
hexagon: remove support for arch < v73 since HMX is now required for most use-cases
hex-mm: cleanup naming for consistency
hex-mm: make sure matmul fusion accounts for vtcm allocation
hex-mm: minor cleanup for kernel_params definition
hex-mm: replace hardcoded limits with proper checks for vtcm requirements
hex-mm: add support for non-tiled mm as a fallback option and factor out hvx kernels into separate header
hex-mm: remove unused functions
hex-mm: add shorthand for MM_SELECT in run-tool script
hvx-mm: factor out hvx/hmx microkernels and unify matmul entry and dispatch
hex-mm: further cleanup matmul fallback path
hex-mm: refactor matmul entry point and dispatch a bit further
hexagon: update cmake build to enable hmx for everything
hex-ops: optimize kernel_param updates and include summary in the logs
hex-mm: add support for GGML_HEXAGON_MM_SELECT
hex-mm: add hex-common header
hex-mm: pass correct number of tasks to workpool
hex-mm: add proper checks for no-work in dyn.quant tasks
hex-mm: convert all quantizers into a macro
hex-mm: fix hvx-flat fallback to pass all MUL_MAT tests
hex-mm: vectorize q8_1 quantizer
hex-mm: improve fused ffn mm stride handling
hex-mm: consistent use of n_threads and pipeline in kernel_params
hexagon: minor formatting
hex-mm: update MUL_MAT_ID kernel_param handling to make sure host/npu are in sync
hvx-mm: go back to accumulating in fp32 in tiled hvx kernels, more accurate and same perf
hvx-mm: unroll the loops and remove masking that is not needed for tiled accums
hmx-mm: optimize activation processing (slit loops, some unrolling, etc)
hmx-mm: minor optimization for output processing
hex-mm: consistent use of uint32_t and size_t in mm kernels
hex-mm: remove legacy restrictions for rows to be multiple of 256
hexagon: replace sprintf with snprintf
hex-mm: relax hardcoded nrows checks and rely on VTCM size requirements
hexagon: minor alignment fix
hexagon: fix trailing spaces
hex-mm: relax padding from 256 to 128 (leftovers)
hex-mm: remove redundant checks for weight align to 128
we always use 2D dma for the weights and align them properly
hmx-mm: MUL_MAT_ID better work distribution between hvx threads and hmx tracing
hex-mm: specialize per-token mmid activation handling
hex-profile: update python scripts to handle kernel-params section in the logging output
hex-mm: move n_prefetch (aka dma_depth) into kernel params and remove unused fields
hex-trace: use easier to parse format, simply and fix post-proc scripts
hmx-mm: relax 32 row limit for output processing which helps utilization
hmx-mm: use start-chunk idx for tracing info
hmx-mm: parameterize activation dma pipeline
hexagon: add support for simple graph caching to avoid recomputing kernel-params
hex-mm: remove left-over repack functions
hex-mm: tighten n_prefetch asserts
hex-mm: remove duplicate round/align_up helper
hexagon: cleanup common header used in host/npu
hexagon: update early wakeup threshold
hmx-mm: define cost constants and update solver to assume that repacked ne[1] is padded to 32
hmx-mm: make precompute_matmul a bit more readable (split into smaller functions, etc)
hex-mm: remove n_threads constraint
hex-mm: minor formatting updates
hex-mm: remove obsolete profiling logs
hex-mm: restore hardcode gate to refuse lm-head to avoid repacking that tensor
