Currently the following parameters are in the runner but not used:
- numGPULayers
- mainGPU
- threads
- tensorSplit
This passes them through to the backend, which is where they would
actually get used. However, the GGML backend does not yet do anything
with them.
We currently print system info before the GGML backends are loaded.
This results in only getting information about the default lowest
common denominator runner. If we move up the GGML init then we can
see what we are actually running.
Before:
time=2025-02-14T11:15:07.606-08:00 level=INFO source=runner.go:935 msg=system info="CPU : LLAMAFILE = 1 | CPU : LLAMAFILE = 1 | cgo(gcc)" threads=24
After:
time=2025-02-14T11:16:02.936-08:00 level=INFO source=runner.go:935 msg=system info="CPU : LLAMAFILE = 1 | CPU : LLAMAFILE = 1 | CUDA : ARCHS = 890 | USE_GRAPHS = 1 | PEER_MAX_BATCH_SIZE = 128 | CPU : SSE3 = 1 | SSSE3 = 1 | AVX = 1 | AVX2 = 1 | F16C = 1 | FMA = 1 | AVX512 = 1 | AVX512_VBMI = 1 | AVX512_VNNI = 1 | LLAMAFILE = 1 | cgo(gcc)" threads=24
This provides integration with the new Ollama engine
(5824541 next ollama runner (#7913)) and the rest of the Ollama
infrastructure such as the runner and Ollama server.
In addition, it also builds out the KV cache infrastructure to
support requirements of how Ollama runs models such as:
- Parallel processing
- Memory management for defragmentation and shifting
- Multi-modal modals
Both old and new engines continue to be supported. By default, only
the old engine is used. To enable the new engine:
Start the server with the OLLAMA_NEW_ENGINE environment variable set:
OLLAMA_NEW_ENGINE=1 ./ollama serve
Start a model that is supported by the Ollama engine. This one is Llama 3.1 8b Q4_K_M:
./ollama run jessegross/llama3.1
