When ggml_backend_buffer_free() is called, the device memory
is released but not all backends consistently release the actual
ggml_backend_buffer_t in system RAM, causing a memory leak.
Bug #10040
For every forward pass through the model, we need to allocate input
tensors: tokens, images, positions, outputs and masks. These get
allocated in system memory.
However, when we close the context that the tensors were allocated
through, the metadata gets freed but the actual backend memory does
not. This results in a significant memory leak.
This makes it so that all the memory allocated through a context
gets freed when it is closed.
Fixes#10040
Allocating (and in particular, freeing) memory from CUDA host buffers
is expensive and can cause a significant performance hit if we do
it for every token. Using normal system memory avoids this issue
and also gives the OS more flexibility to manage it.
There is no performance impact from this patch directly (either
positive or negative) but it makes a difference once we start
freeing memory correctly.
Context is currently mixed between pointer and value receivers. Change
this to be all pointer receivers so don't have to reason about whether
the things we are updating in the struct will be retained.
Sometimes loading the GGUF file fails with:
panic: context canceled
This is probably a filesystem error but it doesn't provide any
information about what happened.
Currently, the KV cache and graph are lazily allocated as needed.
The cache is fully allocated on first use of the corresponding
layer whereas the graph grows with the size of the context.
This can be an issue if another application allocates more VRAM
after we do our calculations - Ollama will crash in the middle of
inference. If we instead allocate the maximum needed memory at
startup of the runner, we will either succeed or fail at that point
rather than at some surprising time in the future.
Currently, this only generates a worst case batch for text, which
means that vision models may get a partial allocation and continue
to lazily allocate the rest.
If there is a CUDA OOM, we currently don't check the return value
and will evetually segfault. This checks for the problem and generates
a Go error. At the moment, this will still result in a panic but having
the error is the first step to being able to handle it more gracefully.
improves model loading times on network-based filesystems

Mistral is a popular research lab making open source models. This updates
the forward pass of llama architecture models to support both llama models
and mistral models by accounting for additional metadata present in mistral
models, and finding the correct dimensions for the output projection.
No functional change. Many different done reasons can be set at the runner
level, so rather than obsuring them we should return them to the server
process and let it choose what to do with the done reason. This separates
the API concerns from the runner.
The sliding window cache trims entries that are outside the window for
the latest token. This works when we are extending the cache, such as
when the conversation continues. However, if we have a partial overlap
in conversation (including the BOS tokens), then we resume from a past
point in the conversation and the needed tokens are no longer stored
in memory. This verifies that the new window overlaps with the old one
before reusing the cache.

When truncating inputs to the the context window at the beginning of
a sequence, we remove the minimum amount possible. However, this
may cause us to truncate to the middle of a set of inputs that
the model specified should not be split up. To avoid this, we
need to remove the rest of the partial batch.
With support for multimodal models becoming more varied and common it is important for clients to be able to easily see what capabilities a model has. Retuning these from the show endpoint will allow clients to easily see what a model can do.
Clear KV cache when shift operation is not supported by model.
Added KvCacheCanShift() check to handle models that can't perform cache shifts,
falling back to full cache clear while preserving logical token history to
maintain expected behavior when context window fills up.
This change adds tracking of download chunks during the pull process so
that subsequent pulls can skip downloading already completed chunks.
This works across restarts of ollama.
Currently, download state will be lost if a prune is triggered during a
pull (e.g. restart or remove). This issue should be addressed in a
follow-up PR.
If we have an error after creating a new sequence but before
finding a slot for it, we return without releasing the semaphore.
This reduces our parallel sequences and eventually leads to deadlock.
In practice this should never happen because once we have acquired
the semaphore, we should always be able to find a slot. However, the
code is clearly not correct.
With the llama runner, we can generate up to NUM_PARALLEL batches
at once, which will then get broken up to into individual batches
to get executed by llama.cpp (i.e. we add up to 2048 tokens and
this gets split into 4 batches of 512 tokens at default settings).
This splitting can improve parallelism on multi-GPU systems because
the individual batches can move though the pipeline without blocking
on the first one to fully complete. However, we don't yet support
this in the Ollama runner, partially because it makes it hard to
enforce model-specified batch constraints, which didn't exist
previously.
The result is that we will try to execute the full, unsplit batch.
This could result in out of memory or insufficient KV cache space
errors.
This triggers batch breaking when the total inputs from all sequences
exceeds the batch size, rather than per-sequence. In order to ensure
fairness, it also reintroduces round-robinning around sequences so
that we don't let one busy sequence starve the others.
Model implementations should use Input for all of their tensors
supplied to the model. This includes tensors that relate to the
outputs, which is confusing since there is also an Output funciton.
Since Output is only used internally in GGML and not used by any
model implementations, we can remove it from the interface to
reduce confusion.
