* ggml: backend-agnostic tensor parallelism
* support for GPT-OSS, Qwen 3 MoE
* partial Vulkan fix
* add support for 4/8 GPUs
* unconditional peer access
* re-use buffers + ggml contexts
* fix output pattern
* NCCL support
* GGML: HIP: add RCCL support
* Remove shfl and AllReduce from backend interface
* move allocation workaround out of ggml-alloc.c
* 2d tensor set/get support
* Fix the seg fault without NCCL
* Apply suggestion from JohannesGaessler
* support for tensor dims % n_devs != 0
* fix view_offs scaling
* arbitrary num. of GPUs/tensor split
* fix compilation
* better granularity estimate
* Support device-specific host buffer types if all underlying backends expose the same type. This allows using pinned memory instead of pageable memory for CUDA.
Fix compilation errors.
* partial Qwen 3 Next support
* Fix qwen3 30b (llama/8)
* Fix crash with Qwen-30B-A3B Q4_0
Qwen-30B-A3B Q4_0 has an intermediate dimension of 768. Using a granularity of 256 forces an uneven split between GPUs, which is not supported by the current implementation.
* Decide block size based on tensor quantization type
* Fix crashes due to KV cache serialization (llama/9)
KV cache serialization requires non-zero offsets on the tensor. Add support in the meta backend to set/get a tensor with a non-zero offset.
* metal : fix build (llama/7)
* static memory allocations, fix usage count
* fix tensor granularity
* more even memory distribution
* use BF16 for allreduce
* rebase fixup
* better error message for unsupported architectures
* Fix device mismatch during scatter of allReduce. (llama/11)
There is a mismatch between the dst buffer device and the backend device, causing the use of sync copies
* Enable the previous allreduce implementation. It is better in both perf and stability (llama/12)
* delay AllReduce for Moe for less I/O
* build : clean-up compile warnings
* backend : move most of the meta backend API to ggml-backend-impl.h
* cont : hide unused public API in the implementation
* llama : use llama_device + remove ggml_backend_dev_is_meta()
* ggml-backend : remove unused alloc include
* minor : remove regex include
* ggml : introduce ggml-ext.h for staging new APIs
* rebase fixup
* fix tests
* llama : more robust logic for determining Meta devices (llama/16)
* llama : more robust logic for determining Meta devices
* cont : fix devs size check

* vulkan: sort graph to allow more parallel execution
Add a backend proc to allow the backend to modify the graph. The
vulkan implementation looks at which nodes depend on each other
and greedily reorders them to group together nodes that don't
depend on each other. It only reorders the nodes, doesn't change
the contents of any of them.
With #15489, this reduces the number of synchronizations needed.
* call optimize_graph per-split
While working on the [whisper-cpp](https://conan.io/center/recipes/whisper-cpp) Conan package for ConanCenter, I noticed that enabling the `with_blas` option fails to build due to an issue in the _MKL_ detection logic.
The problem is that the CMake condition currently expands `BLAS_INCLUDE_DIRS` without quotes:
```cmake
if (${BLAS_INCLUDE_DIRS} MATCHES "mkl" AND (${GGML_BLAS_VENDOR} MATCHES "Generic" OR ${GGML_BLAS_VENDOR} MATCHES "Intel"))
```
When `BLAS_INCLUDE_DIRS` is a list (as Conan provides it), the `if()` command receives multiple arguments and produces a CMake error:
```bash
...
-- BLAS found, Includes: /root/.conan2/p/b/openb034c5a6ca927b/p/include;/root/.conan2/p/b/openb034c5a6ca927b/p/include/openblas
CMake Error at ggml/src/ggml-blas/CMakeLists.txt:77 (if):
if given arguments:
"/root/.conan2/p/b/openb034c5a6ca927b/p/include" "/root/.conan2/p/b/openb034c5a6ca927b/p/include/openblas" "MATCHES" "mkl" "AND" "(" "OpenBLAS" "MATCHES" "Generic" "OR" "OpenBLAS" "MATCHES" "Intel" ")"
Unknown arguments specified
...
```
This PR fixes the issue by quoting the variable:
```cmake
if ("${BLAS_INCLUDE_DIRS}" MATCHES "mkl" AND (${GGML_BLAS_VENDOR} MATCHES "Generic" OR ${GGML_BLAS_VENDOR} MATCHES "Intel"))
```
With this change, the whole list is treated as a single string and the regex still works correctly.
