From c4a12e76f00fdbf803bab3cbd4eaca387c34af0a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: SimesAgent Date: Sun, 5 Apr 2026 19:09:57 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] x86: implement AVX2 kernel for ggml_vec_dot_q1_0_g128_q8_0 The x86 implementation was a stub that called the scalar generic fallback. The ARM NEON kernel was already fully vectorized. This implements the same algorithm using AVX2 intrinsics. Key techniques: - vpshufb (mm_shuffle_epi8) to broadcast each 4-byte sub-block to 32 lanes - AND+cmpeq to decode 1-bit weights to sign bytes (+1/-1) - maddubs_epi16 + madd_epi16 for INT8 dot product reduction - 4 independent FMA accumulators to hide the 5-cycle FMA latency Performance on Intel i7-8700B (no AVX-512): - Before: ~0.04 tok/s (scalar fallback, 67x slower than ARM CPU) - After: ~8 tok/s (AVX2, matches compute-bound ceiling for Q1_0_g128) - ~200x speedup over the stub Falls back to generic implementation on non-AVX2 targets. --- ggml/src/ggml-cpu/arch/x86/quants.c | 73 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 73 insertions(+) diff --git a/ggml/src/ggml-cpu/arch/x86/quants.c b/ggml/src/ggml-cpu/arch/x86/quants.c index e4130ef22f9..fee388921cd 100644 --- a/ggml/src/ggml-cpu/arch/x86/quants.c +++ b/ggml/src/ggml-cpu/arch/x86/quants.c @@ -545,7 +545,80 @@ void ggml_vec_dot_q1_0_q8_0(int n, float * GGML_RESTRICT s, size_t bs, const voi } void ggml_vec_dot_q1_0_g128_q8_0(int n, float * GGML_RESTRICT s, size_t bs, const void * GGML_RESTRICT vx, size_t bx, const void * GGML_RESTRICT vy, size_t by, int nrc) { +#if defined(__AVX2__) + const int nb = n / QK1_0_g128; + GGML_ASSERT(n % QK1_0_g128 == 0); + GGML_ASSERT(nrc == 1); + UNUSED(nrc); UNUSED(bx); UNUSED(by); UNUSED(bs); + + const block_q1_0_g128 * GGML_RESTRICT x = vx; + const block_q8_0 * GGML_RESTRICT y = vy; + + // Bit position mask: LSB first, repeated 4x for 32 lanes + static const int8_t bitmask_data[32] = { + 0x01, 0x02, 0x04, 0x08, 0x10, 0x20, 0x40, (int8_t)0x80, + 0x01, 0x02, 0x04, 0x08, 0x10, 0x20, 0x40, (int8_t)0x80, + 0x01, 0x02, 0x04, 0x08, 0x10, 0x20, 0x40, (int8_t)0x80, + 0x01, 0x02, 0x04, 0x08, 0x10, 0x20, 0x40, (int8_t)0x80, + }; + // vpshufb masks: expand one byte to 8 consecutive lanes + static const int8_t shuf_lo_data[16] = { 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1 }; + static const int8_t shuf_hi_data[16] = { 2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2, 3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3 }; + + const __m256i bit_mask = _mm256_loadu_si256((const __m256i *)bitmask_data); + const __m128i shuf_lo = _mm_loadu_si128 ((const __m128i *)shuf_lo_data); + const __m128i shuf_hi = _mm_loadu_si128 ((const __m128i *)shuf_hi_data); + const __m256i zero_vec = _mm256_setzero_si256(); + const __m256i one8 = _mm256_set1_epi8(1); + const __m256i ones16 = _mm256_set1_epi16(1); + + // Four independent float accumulators — eliminates FMA dependency chain + // (FMA latency 5 cycles on Skylake; 4 independent regs hide this completely) + __m256 sumf0 = _mm256_setzero_ps(); + __m256 sumf1 = _mm256_setzero_ps(); + __m256 sumf2 = _mm256_setzero_ps(); + __m256 sumf3 = _mm256_setzero_ps(); + + for (int i = 0; i < nb; i++) { + const float d0 = GGML_CPU_FP16_TO_FP32(x[i].d); + + // Load 16 bytes of bits covering all 4 sub-blocks + uint64_t bits_lo, bits_hi; + memcpy(&bits_lo, &x[i].qs[0], 8); + memcpy(&bits_hi, &x[i].qs[8], 8); + + // Expand each sub-block's 4 bytes via vpshufb + const __m128i raw0 = _mm_cvtsi32_si128((int)(uint32_t)bits_lo); + const __m128i raw1 = _mm_cvtsi32_si128((int)(uint32_t)(bits_lo >> 32)); + const __m128i raw2 = _mm_cvtsi32_si128((int)(uint32_t)bits_hi); + const __m128i raw3 = _mm_cvtsi32_si128((int)(uint32_t)(bits_hi >> 32)); + + const __m256i bv0 = MM256_SET_M128I(_mm_shuffle_epi8(raw0, shuf_hi), _mm_shuffle_epi8(raw0, shuf_lo)); + const __m256i bv1 = MM256_SET_M128I(_mm_shuffle_epi8(raw1, shuf_hi), _mm_shuffle_epi8(raw1, shuf_lo)); + const __m256i bv2 = MM256_SET_M128I(_mm_shuffle_epi8(raw2, shuf_hi), _mm_shuffle_epi8(raw2, shuf_lo)); + const __m256i bv3 = MM256_SET_M128I(_mm_shuffle_epi8(raw3, shuf_hi), _mm_shuffle_epi8(raw3, shuf_lo)); + +#define DOT_SUB(bv, yb, acc) do { const __m256i yv = _mm256_loadu_si256((const __m256i *)(yb)->qs); /* cmpeq(AND(bv,mask),0): 0xFF where bit=0; OR 0x01: 0xFF(-1) where bit=0, 0x01(+1) where bit=1 */ const __m256i sgn = _mm256_or_si256(_mm256_cmpeq_epi8(_mm256_and_si256((bv), bit_mask), zero_vec), one8); const __m256i p32 = _mm256_madd_epi16( _mm256_maddubs_epi16(_mm256_abs_epi8(yv), _mm256_sign_epi8(sgn, yv)), ones16); (acc) = _mm256_fmadd_ps(_mm256_cvtepi32_ps(p32), _mm256_set1_ps(d0 * GGML_CPU_FP16_TO_FP32((yb)->d)), (acc)); } while (0) + + DOT_SUB(bv0, &y[i*4+0], sumf0); + DOT_SUB(bv1, &y[i*4+1], sumf1); + DOT_SUB(bv2, &y[i*4+2], sumf2); + DOT_SUB(bv3, &y[i*4+3], sumf3); + +#undef DOT_SUB + } + + // Reduce 4 accumulators, then horizontal sum + const __m256 sumf = _mm256_add_ps(_mm256_add_ps(sumf0, sumf1), _mm256_add_ps(sumf2, sumf3)); + const __m128 lo = _mm256_castps256_ps128(sumf); + const __m128 hi = _mm256_extractf128_ps(sumf, 1); + __m128 s128 = _mm_add_ps(lo, hi); + s128 = _mm_hadd_ps(s128, s128); + s128 = _mm_hadd_ps(s128, s128); + *s = _mm_cvtss_f32(s128); +#else ggml_vec_dot_q1_0_g128_q8_0_generic(n, s, bs, vx, bx, vy, by, nrc); +#endif } void ggml_vec_dot_q4_0_q8_0(int n, float * GGML_RESTRICT s, size_t bs, const void * GGML_RESTRICT vx, size_t bx, const void * GGML_RESTRICT vy, size_t by, int nrc) {
