metal : tighten input-position loop in kernel_conv_transpose_1d (ggml/1477)
For a given output position j on the time axis, only input positions
i such that i*s0 <= j < i*s0 + K contribute -- i.e.
i in [ceil((j - K + 1)/s0), floor(j/s0)] intersected with [0, IL-1].
That's at most ceil(K/s0) values (typically 2 for stride==K/2
transposed convs).
The current kernel iterates the full IL range and filters with an
`if`, amplifying per-thread work by IL/ceil(K/s0) (~160x for IL=320,
K=10, s0=5 -- a representative codec-decoder shape). On Apple M1
the wasted work trips the macOS GPU watchdog
(kIOGPUCommandBufferCallbackErrorImpactingInteractivity) on long
graphs.
Compute i_min, i_max analytically before the inner loop and iterate
only [i_min, i_max]. Output is bit-identical (same multiplies and
adds in the same order); loop bound shrinks by IL/ceil(K/s0).
Tested on M1 with a downstream consumer running a TTS codec at full
T_codec; end-to-end codec decode ~3-4x faster, zero watchdog hits
across long synthesis runs vs ~30% pre-patch.

tests: add BF16 non-contig coverage for MUL_MAT permutations (#22689)
The MUL_MAT test loop iterates over base_types[] to generate non-contig
permutation cases (3 standard permutations across n in {1, 8, 16}).
BF16 is absent from base_types[], so these 9 cases were never generated
for BF16 even though every other type covered by base_types[] tests them.
Add the missing 9 cases explicitly: BF16 x F32, m=16, k=256, bs=[2,3],
permutations {0,2,1,3}, {0,1,3,2}, {0,3,2,1}, with n in {1, 8, 16}.
Adds RDNA3 support to the CUDA mma FA kernel. To make the RDNA3 tensor cores work with the FP16 accumulation for VKQ the tiles they need to be 32 logical units long in direction of the attention head; for head sizes 80 and 112 that are not exactly divided by 32 the regular length of 16 with FP32 accumulation is used instead. The longer tiles also enable more efficient transposition for a warp size of 32 which is why it's also used for RDNA4. However, this scrambles the data layout of the accumulators along the attention head dimension. To prevent accidental misuse I added another entry to ggml_cuda_mma::data_layout.
I also tuned the kernel parameters for RDNA3, RDNA4, and CDNA1 in general, during which I discovered that the kernel can be made to work for head sizes up to 256 for CDNA. For RDNA3/4 I was not able to get better performance that the tile kernel for head sizes > 128.

* fix: Use + separator for ASSETS list to fix Windows build
Replace fragile \; escaping with a + separator when passing the

the \; escaping was not reliably preserved through the CMake build

(e.g., 'index.html;bundle.js;bundle.css;loading.html' as a single
file), which broke the HF Bucket download and subsequent xxd.cmake
step.
+ is safe because it is not special in cmd.exe (unlike | which is a

a valid Windows filename character. CMakeLists.txt joins assets
with + and webui-download.cmake splits them back via regex.

SYCL: fix multi-GPU system RAM exhaustion by using Level Zero allocations (#21597)
* SYCL: fix multi-GPU system RAM exhaustion by using Level Zero allocations
Replace sycl::malloc_device with zeMemAllocDevice for GPU memory allocation
in the SYCL backend. sycl::malloc_device triggers the xe kernel driver's
DMA-buf/TTM path which mirrors every VRAM allocation 1:1 in system RAM.
zeMemAllocDevice uses the SVM/P2P path with no host staging.
On a dual Intel Arc Pro B70 system (64GB VRAM, 64GB RAM), a 15.6 GiB model
consumed 60 GiB of system RAM via sycl::malloc_device, causing OOM crashes.
With zeMemAllocDevice, the same workload uses ~6.7 GiB of system RAM with
no performance regression.
All Level Zero calls include automatic fallback to the original SYCL
allocation path if Level Zero interop is unavailable.
- Remove try/catch from malloc/free/memcpy helpers, check backend and
device type upfront instead (ggml_sycl_is_level_zero, ggml_sycl_is_dgpu)
- Move shared helpers (is_level_zero, is_dgpu, free_device) to common.cpp
and declare in common.hpp to eliminate code duplication
- Use SYCL_CHECK(CHECK_TRY_ERROR()) for fallback sycl::free calls
- Guard dev2dev_memcpy L0 path to dGPU-to-dGPU only, preserving the
host-staged path for iGPU-to-dGPU transfers
- Add Windows Level Zero SDK path detection (LEVEL_ZERO_V1_SDK_PATH)
in CMakeLists.txt (co-authored with @arthw)
Implements the architecture suggested by @arthw: compile-time and runtime
flags to cleanly separate Level Zero and SYCL memory API paths.
- Add GGML_SYCL_SUPPORT_LEVEL_ZERO cmake option (default ON). All Level
Zero code is wrapped in #ifdef so the build works on systems without
the Level Zero SDK installed (e.g. CPU-only CI servers). Both the
loader library and headers are checked before enabling.
- Add GGML_SYCL_ENABLE_LEVEL_ZERO runtime env var (default 1). Controls
whether Level Zero or SYCL memory APIs are used. Only one API style is
used per session, no mixing. If Level Zero is enabled but the devices
don't support the Level Zero backend, it auto-disables with a warning.
- Remove Level Zero code from dpct_malloc. It was unused (dpct::device_memory
is not called anywhere in the backend) and used try/catch for flow control.
- Update SYCL.md with documentation for both new parameters.
Tested on Intel Arc Pro B70 (32GB), single-GPU and dual-GPU, with both
GGML_SYCL_SUPPORT_LEVEL_ZERO=ON and OFF builds. AI-assisted development
(Claude). Code reviewed and tested on my hardware.
Move ggml_sycl_malloc_device to common.cpp alongside ggml_sycl_free_device.
Both functions are now unconditionally available — Level Zero code is
#ifdef'd inside the functions, not at call sites. All call sites use
uniform SYCL_CHECK(CHECK_TRY_ERROR()) wrapping with no #ifdef blocks.
Addresses arthw's review: wrap all malloc/free in SYCL_CHECK for stack
traces on failure, eliminate duplicated #ifdef/else patterns at 6 call
sites (-29 lines net).

- Switch both helpers to use g_ggml_sycl_enable_level_zero global
