build: remove ggml in favor of single llama.cpp pin - #57
Merged

Conversation
…ied by CMake - pin llama.cpp to b11151 and build ggml from it; drop the ggml submodule - replace ggml-patches/ and llama-patches/ with patches/: 19 patches (from 34) in patches/series order, upstreamed ones dropped, related ones merged - apply the series at configure time into the build dir; remove the apply scripts - add scripts/llama-patches.sh to edit, export and rebase the series - fold the per-op CMake gates into NEMO_SPEECH_GGML_PATCHED and remove unused tuning env vars - apply the patches in cpu-* and Windows CPU builds; presets set GGML_LLAMAFILE=ON - fix batched conv1d layout in src and stock-CUDA MagpieTTS linking

Inline comments:
Review comments at @cmake/llama_cpp.cmake:
- Around line 176-179: Update the configure dependencies in the
`nemo_speech_llama_cpp_series` flow so CMake reruns when the llama.cpp submodule
pin changes. Add the submodule’s resolved Git `HEAD` file as a
`CMAKE_CONFIGURE_DEPENDS` entry, locating the Git directory as needed; keep the
existing patch dependencies unchanged.
Review comments at
@patches/ggml-cuda-flatten-shared-weight-cublas-gemms-fuse-silu-to-bf16.patch:
- Around line 58-60: Update the `native_bf16` capability check to require both
an Ampere-or-newer NVIDIA device and compiled device code for Ampere or newer,
using `ggml_cuda_highest_compiled_arch(cc)` as in the existing NanoCodec guard.
This keeps the fusion disabled and its working fallback available when only
pre-Ampere code is compiled.
Review comments at
@patches/ggml-cuda-skinny-q8_0-gemm-with-planar-weights.patch:
- Around line 540-544: Update q8_planar detection in ggml_cuda_mul_mat_vec_q to
also recognize Q8_0 data whose pointer aliases the cached in-place planar
weights, using a lookup exposed by skinny-q8.cu. Apply the same cache check to
the split-buffer assertion in ggml_cuda_op_mul_mat_vec_q so fused paths in
ggml_cuda_try_fuse correctly handle repacked weights.
Review comments at @patches/ggml-cuda-vectorized-contiguous-set_rows.patch:
- Around line 44-50: Update the contiguous float4 fast-path eligibility check
near contiguous_cache_rows to require 16-byte alignment of dst->data, 16-byte
alignment of src0->data, dst->nb[2] divisible by sizeof(float4), dense src1
indices via src1->nb[0] matching ggml_type_size(src1->type), and src0->ne[2] no
greater than 65535. Let the generic set_rows_cuda path handle inputs that fail
these checks.
Review comments at @src/runtime/ggml/backend.cpp:
- Around line 16-37: Update set_environment_default to use the supported
environment-setting API for each platform: use _putenv_s on Windows and setenv
without overwrite on other platforms. Accept the name and value separately and
remove the static-storage requirement for callers keep_cuda_graphs_resident and
keep_skinny_q8_weights_separate.
Review comments at @src/runtime/ggml/CMakeLists.txt:
- Line 33: Export GGML_USE_CUDA from the nemo_speech_runtime_ggml target when
GGML_CUDA is enabled, alongside its CUDA driver linkage, so consumers compile
the CUDA fast paths in runtime.h. Leave the non-CUDA configuration unchanged.

Included review availability: This review used your included allowance. Your plan provides up to 12 included reviews per hour; 11 remain after this review.
- treat in-place repacked skinny-Q8 weights as planar in MMVQ, fixing fused SiLU and bias+SiLU outputs after a repack - extend test_skinny_q8_dispatch to the fused SiLU paths - require Ampere device code for the BF16 fusions - check alignment, strides and grid limits in the set_rows float4 fast path - reconfigure when the llama.cpp submodule moves to another commit - use setenv/_putenv_s for runtime environment defaults
