Subject: CANN: Disable acl_graph for prefill stage (#15933)
X-Git-Tag: upstream/0.0.6527~81
X-Git-Url: https://git.djapps.eu/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c0389dba43d50695f9d3f57dd1f1a14cbefc100c;p=pkg%2Fggml%2Fsources%2Fllama.cpp

CANN: Disable acl_graph for prefill stage (#15933)

Since the prefill length is not fixed, graphs constructed for the
prefill stage cannot be reused. For this reason, ACL graph
execution is disabled by default during prefill.

 Maximum number of compiled CANN graphs kept in the LRU cache, default is 12. When the number of cached graphs exceeds this capacity, the least recently used graph will be evicted.

+Enable ACL graph execution during the prefill stage, default is false. This option is only effective when FA is enabled.
