How it works
- ggml-metal batches matrix multiplication and activation kernels into Metal command buffers, but host-device barrier synchronization causes pipeline stalls if intermediate outputs are queried synchronously. (high confidence) [source]
Facts and statements
- Pre-compiling Metal pipeline state objects and caching shader functions avoids runtime compilation pauses during initial context evaluation. (high confidence) [source]
Children
- No children recorded.
