llama.cpp for SYCL

Background

SYCL is a high-level parallel programming model designed to improve developers productivity writing code across various hardware accelerators such as CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs. It is a single-source language designed for heterogeneous computing and based on standard C++17.

oneAPI is an open ecosystem and a standard-based specification, supporting multiple architectures including but not limited to intel CPUs, GPUs and FPGAs. The key components of the oneAPI ecosystem include:

  • DPCPP (Data Parallel C++): The primary oneAPI SYCL implementation, which includes the icpx/icx Compilers.
  • oneAPI Libraries: A set of highly optimized libraries targeting multiple domains (e.g. oneMKL and oneDNN).
  • oneAPI LevelZero: A high performance low level interface for fine-grained control over intel iGPUs and dGPUs.
  • Nvidia & AMD Plugins: These are plugins extending oneAPI's DPCPP support to SYCL on Nvidia and AMD GPU targets.

Llama.cpp + SYCL

The llama.cpp SYCL backend is designed to support Intel GPU firstly. Based on the cross-platform feature of SYCL, it could support other vendor GPUs: Nvidia GPU (AMD GPU coming).

Recommended Release

The SYCL backend would be broken by some PRs due to no online CI.

The following release is verified with good quality:

Hardware

Intel GPU

SYCL backend supports Intel GPU Family:

  • Intel Data Center Max Series
  • Intel Flex Series, Arc Series
  • Intel Built-in Arc GPU
  • Intel iGPU in Core CPU (11th Generation Core CPU and newer, refer to oneAPI supported GPU).

Verified devices

Intel GPU Status Verified Model
Intel Data Center Max Series Support Max 1550, 1100
Intel Data Center Flex Series Support Flex 170
Intel Arc Series Support Arc 770, 730M, Arc A750
Intel built-in Arc GPU Support built-in Arc GPU in Meteor Lake
Intel iGPU Support iGPU in 13700k, i5-1250P, i7-1260P, i7-1165G7

Notes:

  • Memory

    • The device memory is a limitation when running a large model. The loaded model size, llm_load_tensors: buffer_size, is displayed in the log when running ./bin/llama-cli.

    • Please make sure the GPU shared memory from the host is large enough to account for the model's size. For e.g. the llama-2-7b.Q4_0 requires at least 8.0GB for integrated GPU and 4.0GB for discrete GPU.

  • Execution Unit (EU)

    • If the iGPU has less than 80 EUs, the inference speed will likely be too slow for practical use.

Other Vendor GPU

Verified devices

Nvidia GPU Status Verified Model
Ampere Series Support A100, A4000

Docker

The docker build option is currently limited to intel GPU targets.

Build image

# Using FP16
docker build -t llama-cpp-sycl --build-arg="GGML_SYCL_F16=ON" -f .devops/llama-cli-intel.Dockerfile .

Notes:

To build in default FP32 (Slower than FP16 alternative), you can remove the --build-arg="GGML_SYCL_F16=ON" argument from the previous command.

You can also use the .devops/llama-server-intel.Dockerfile, which builds the "server" alternative.

Run container

# First, find all the DRI cards
ls -la /dev/dri
# Then, pick the card that you want to use (here for e.g. /dev/dri/card1).
docker run -it --rm -v "$(pwd):/app:Z" --device /dev/dri/renderD128:/dev/dri/renderD128 --device /dev/dri/card1:/dev/dri/card1 llama-cpp-sycl -m "/app/models/YOUR_MODEL_FILE" -p "Building a website can be done in 10 simple steps:" -n 400 -e -ngl 33

Notes:

  • Docker has been tested successfully on native Linux. WSL support has not been verified yet.
  • You may need to install Intel GPU driver on the host machine (Please refer to the Linux configuration for details).

Linux

I. Setup Environment

  1. Install GPU drivers
  • Intel GPU

Intel data center GPUs drivers installation guide and download page can be found here: Get intel dGPU Drivers.

Note: for client GPUs (iGPU & Arc A-Series), please refer to the client iGPU driver installation.

Once installed, add the user(s) to the video and render groups.

sudo usermod -aG render $USER
sudo usermod -aG video $USER

Note: logout/re-login for the changes to take effect.

Verify installation through clinfo:

sudo apt install clinfo
sudo clinfo -l

  • Nvidia GPU

In order to target Nvidia GPUs through SYCL, please make sure the CUDA/CUBLAS native requirements -found here- are installed.

  1. Install Intel® oneAPI Base toolkit
  • For Intel GPU

The base toolkit can be obtained from the official Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit page.

Please follow the instructions for downloading and installing the Toolkit for Linux, and preferably keep the default installation values unchanged, notably the installation path (/opt/intel/oneapi by default).

Following guidelines/code snippets assume the default installation values. Otherwise, please make sure the necessary changes are reflected where applicable.

Upon a successful installation, SYCL is enabled for the available intel devices, along with relevant libraries such as oneAPI oneDNN for Intel GPUs.

  • Adding support to Nvidia GPUs

oneAPI Plugin: In order to enable SYCL support on Nvidia GPUs, please install the Codeplay oneAPI Plugin for Nvidia GPUs. User should also make sure the plugin version matches the installed base toolkit one (previous step) for a seamless "oneAPI on Nvidia GPU" setup.

oneMKL for cuBlas: The current oneMKL releases (shipped with the oneAPI base-toolkit) do not contain the cuBLAS backend. A build from source of the upstream oneMKL with the cuBLAS backend enabled is thus required to run it on Nvidia GPUs.

git clone https://github.com/oneapi-src/oneMKL
cd oneMKL
cmake -B buildWithCublas -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=icpx -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=icx -DENABLE_MKLGPU_BACKEND=OFF -DENABLE_MKLCPU_BACKEND=OFF -DENABLE_CUBLAS_BACKEND=ON -DTARGET_DOMAINS=blas
cmake --build buildWithCublas --config Release
  1. Verify installation and environment

In order to check the available SYCL devices on the machine, please use the sycl-ls command.

source /opt/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh
sycl-ls
  • Intel GPU

When targeting an intel GPU, the user should expect one or more level-zero devices among the available SYCL devices. Please make sure that at least one GPU is present, for instance [ext_oneapi_level_zero:gpu:0] in the sample output below:

[opencl:acc:0] Intel(R) FPGA Emulation Platform for OpenCL(TM), Intel(R) FPGA Emulation Device OpenCL 1.2  [2023.16.10.0.17_160000]

III. Run the inference

Retrieve and prepare model

You can refer to the general Prepare and Quantize guide for model prepration, or simply download llama-2-7b.Q4_0.gguf model as example.

Check device
  1. Enable oneAPI running environment
source /opt/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh
  1. List devices information

Similar to the native sycl-ls, available SYCL devices can be queried as follow:

./build/bin/llama-ls-sycl-device

This command will only display the selected backend that is supported by SYCL. The default backend is level_zero. For example, in a system with 2 intel GPU it would look like the following:

found 2 SYCL devices:

|  |                  |                                             |Compute   |Max compute|Max work|Max sub|               |

  1. Command line Launch inference

There are two device selection modes:

  • Single device: Use one device assigned by user. Default device id is 0.
  • Multiple devices: Automatically choose the devices with the same backend.

In two device selection modes, the default SYCL backend is level_zero, you can choose other backend supported by SYCL by setting environment variable ONEAPI_DEVICE_SELECTOR.

Device selection Parameter
Single device --split-mode none --main-gpu DEVICE_ID
Multiple devices --split-mode layer (default)

Examples:

  • Use device 0:
ZES_ENABLE_SYSMAN=1 ./build/bin/llama-cli -m models/llama-2-7b.Q4_0.gguf -p "Building a website can be done in 10 simple steps:" -n 400 -e -ngl 33 -sm none -mg 0
  • Use multiple devices:
ZES_ENABLE_SYSMAN=1 ./build/bin/llama-cli -m models/llama-2-7b.Q4_0.gguf -p "Building a website can be done in 10 simple steps:" -n 400 -e -ngl 33 -sm layer

Notes:

  • Upon execution, verify the selected device(s) ID(s) in the output log, which can for instance be displayed as follow:
detect 1 SYCL GPUs: [0] with top Max compute units:512

Or

use 1 SYCL GPUs: [0] with Max compute units:512

Known Issues

  • Split-mode:[row] is not supported.

Q&A

  • Error: error while loading shared libraries: libsycl.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

    • Potential cause: Unavailable oneAPI installation or not set ENV variables.
    • Solution: Install oneAPI base toolkit and enable its ENV through: source /opt/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh.

  • General compiler error:

    • Remove build folder or try a clean-build.

  • I can not see [ext_oneapi_level_zero:gpu] afer installing the GPU driver on Linux.

    Please double-check with sudo sycl-ls.

    If it's present in the list, please add video/render group to your user then logout/login or restart your system:

    sudo usermod -aG render $USER
sudo usermod -aG video $USER

    Otherwise, please double-check the GPU driver installation steps.

  • Can I report Ollama issue on Intel GPU to llama.cpp SYCL backend?

    No. We can't support Ollama issue directly, because we aren't familiar with Ollama.

    Sugguest reproducing on llama.cpp and report similar issue to llama.cpp. We will surpport it.

    It's same for other projects including llama.cpp SYCL backend.

  • Meet issue: Native API failed. Native API returns: -6 (PI_ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY) -6 (PI_ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY) -999 (UNKNOWN PI error) or failed to allocate SYCL0 buffer

    Device Memory is not enough.

    Reason Solution
    Default Context is too big. It leads to more memory usage. Set -c 8192 or smaller value.
    Model is big and require more memory than device's. Choose smaller quantized model, like Q5 -> Q4;
    Use more than one devices to load model.
