* iq1_m: basics
* iq1_m: basics-2
* iq1_m: CUDA dequantize works
Very 1st shot I get PPL = 9.76 for LLaMA-v2-7B.
* iq1_m: separate shifts for each group of 8 in a block
We get
PPL(LLaMA-v2-7B ) = 9.2810
PPL(LLaMA-v2-13B) = 6.8105
Not bad, but slightly higher than
sqrt(PPL(IQ1_S) * PPL(IQ2_XXS))
which is the expected outcome given that IQ1_M is
halfway between IQ1_S and IQ2_XXS in terms of bpw.
From this, we would expect
PPL = 9.14 for LLaMA-v2-7B
PPL = 6.63 for LLaMA-v2-13B
* iq1_m: go to 3-bit scales
There is slight increase in PPL, but the 0.0625 bpw reduction
in size is totally worth it.
We now have
PPL(LLaMA-v2-7B ) = 9.4469 at 1.96 bpw
PPL(LLaMA-v2-13B) = 6.8717 at 1.93 bpw
PPL(LLaMA-v2-70B) = 4.8568 at 1.85 bpw
* iq1_m: scalar dot product
* iq1_m: AVX2 dot product
* iq1_m: very slightly faster AVX2 dot product
* iq1_m: ARM_NEON dot product
Works, but very slow (10.5 t/s)
* iq1_m: Metal - dequantize works, dot product does not
* iq1_m: Metal now works
About the same performance as iq1_s.
* iq1_m: minor
* iq1_m: checking pure iq1_m quantization
It is pretty bad: PPL(LLaMA-v2-7B) = 34 if we quantize output.weight
with Q4_K.
* iiq1_m: slightly faster ARM_NEON dot product
10.5 t/s -> 11.65 t/s
* iq1_m: faster ARM_NEON dot product
11.65 t/s -> 14.9 t/s
* iq1_m: another minor ARM_NEON dot product improvement
14.9 -> 15.0 t/s
* iq1_m: small PPL improvement via super-block scale adjustment
After quantizing block scales redo the super-block scale fit.
PPL(LLaMA-v2-7B ) = 9.3346
PPL(LLaMA-v2-13B) = 6.8419
PPL(LLaMA-v2-70B) = 4.8294
PPL(Mistral-7B ) = 8.1624
* iq1_m: adapt to CUDA refactoring
* iq1_m: remove unused variable
We have progressed to warnings being errors.
* iq1_m: add to backend-ops tests
* iq1_m: fix Windows ARM
* iq1_m: use common definition of iq1m_scale_t
* cuda: assert -> NO_DEVICE_CODE
* iq1_M: PR comments
