- output backend system info when initializing the backend. this ensures
this information is always present without needing to be called
explicitly
- convert to structured logging
- enumerate devices rather than backends since devices are ordered
- track device indices grouped by device name
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
