this controls in which order ggml_build_forward visits source nodes.
by default the nodes are visited left to right, i.e. src[0] first.
in some cases it is beneficial for ggml-alloc to visit in a different order.
two possible orders are supported: left-to-right (src[0] first) and right-to-left (src[0] last).
k and v can now be repeated in q along ne[2]
in forward pass just use modulo to compute k and v indices, like ik2 = iq2 % nek2.
in backard pass this won't work as easy, because multiple threads will compete to accumulate to the same k->grad[:,ik1,ik2,ik3] and v->grad[:,iv1,iv2,iv3].
so we change the parallelization over q rows to be over k rows. this ensures non-overlapping (ik2,ik3) across threads.
in each thread we then iterate over the number of repetitions of k/v in q to compute iq2 as iq2 = ik2 + irep*nek2.
since ne2 is not the same for q,k and v we also change how the gradients are concatenated into the result tensor.
additionally the offsets of gradq, gradk and gradv in the result tensor are now memory aligned.
we also simplify the compute_backward part of flash_attn to use ggml_reshape instead of switching over the number of dimensions.
this needs a small change to ggml_reshape, removing the assertion of second argument to be contiguous.
since only the shape (ne) of the second reshape argument is of relevance, its memory layout (nb) is irrelevant -> it can very well be non-contiguous.
change test-grad0 to also test for repeated k/v in q.
this changes the rng and now results in small gradient differences in softmax. these solely come from using f16 exp table lookup in forward softmax: when temporarily changing softmax to use actual exp function, the reported gradient differences go away. gradient differences coming solely from f16 table lookup are acceptable.
added a note to explain this.
fix printf warnings on system where int64_t is (long int).
change time datatypes to double because values get big with long training times.
exclude file saving from time measurement.
converge faster to actual time per iteration by removing very small first duration before first iteration was performed.
fix bug in output of total training time, the reported value was 1000 times to small.
