From 65ad1d0a694e92e54f199cedab6cb4a01d378e19 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mariusz Reichert Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2026 13:21:39 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 01/19] perf(t3-mtl): batch CFG cond+uncond into a single Metal forward (B=2) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The §3.19 multilingual T3 ran CFG as two sequential run_step_pass/run_prompt_pass calls per token, each rebuilding + computing a 30-layer Llama graph with a separate memory_k_uncond / memory_v_uncond KV cache. On Metal this doubled per-step kernel dispatch + weight-read overhead -- exactly the regression `use_b2` already paid off for S3Gen's CFM (chatterbox_tts.cpp:1994 / §3.19). This commit mirrors that on T3 by packing cond + uncond into the batch dim (ne[3]=2) for inputs_embeds, pos_ids, kq_mask, and the per-layer Q/K/V activations. RoPE + flash_attn_ext both broadcast head/seq dims over batch out of the box, so build_llama_block only grew an int B parameter and a size_t b_offset_elems (one cache slab offset for the legacy B=1 CPU fallback). KV layout rework: the two parallel 1-D F32 KV buffers (memory_k + memory_k_uncond) are now a single contiguous 2 * kv_layer_elems buffer per layer, cond at offset 0, uncond at offset kv_layer_elems. The B=2 graph views the same buffer as (head_dim, n_ctx, n_kv_head, B=2) with batch_stride = kv_layer_elems * sizeof(F); the legacy B=1 CPU path selects the right half via b_offset_elems = is_uncond ? kv_layer_elems : 0. Total backend allocation is unchanged (still 2x kv_elements per cache); we just dropped two ggml_new_tensor_1d calls. eval_step_mtl / eval_prompt_mtl dispatch the B=2 path when !ggml_backend_is_cpu(model.backend) -- mirrors use_b2 in S3Gen exactly. CPU keeps the two-call path (per-op B=2 work doubles without saving ops on ggml-cpu). Bench (M3 Ultra Metal, §3.19 reference Spanish prompt, seed 42, greedy): - Q4_0 T3: 872 ms -> 502 ms (-42%); RTF 0.46 -> 0.35 - F16 T3: 1099 ms -> 602 ms (-45%); RTF 0.53 -> 0.37 Parity gates passed: - Greedy decode token parity at --temp 0 --top-k 1: first 100 tokens identical to the two-call baseline on seed 42. - End-to-end WAV byte-exact match vs the §3.19 reference run on Q4_0 and F16 (cmp baseline.wav phase1.wav -> identical). - CPU fallback (--n-gpu-layers 0) still produces audio with the B=1 path. The KV strides in build_llama_block are routed through ggml_type_size(memory_k->type), so flipping GGML_TYPE_F32 -> GGML_TYPE_F16 in load_model_gguf_mtl is a one-line opt-in for memory- bound backends. On M3 Ultra it's neutral (Metal flash_attn_ext was already running its inner matmul at F16 regardless of K/V storage dtype); kept at F32 to preserve the §3.19 numerics envelope.

Non- streaming MTL was therefore locked at the GGUF's n_timesteps=10. Add a top-level --cfm-steps N flag and route it into all three non-streaming s3gen_synthesize_opts setup sites: - tokens-file short-circuit (no T3, just S3Gen + HiFT) - regular non-streaming synthesis path - the --input-file live-input streaming path keeps using --stream-cfm-steps; --cfm-steps is documented as a non-streaming knob there. Default stays at 0 (use the GGUF's n_timesteps), so existing scripts keep their behaviour.

That's a silu + mul element-wise pair on top of the two mul_mats, at 30 dispatches/token across layers. Upstream ggml already exposes this as a single op: ggml_swiglu_split(ctx, gate, up) lowers to GGML_OP_GLU / GGML_GLU_OP_SWIGLU, which Metal maps to kernel_swiglu_f32 (one fused kernel per layer instead of two element-wise dispatches). The pre-norm `mul(rms_norm(x), g)` pattern was already auto-fused by ggml-metal's can_fuse(RMS_NORM, MUL) path (kernel_rms_norm_mul_f32); left as-is so CPU + non-Metal backends get the same op shape. Bench (M3 Ultra Metal, vs the B=2 CFG baseline from the previous commit, 3 warm runs averaged): - Q4_0 T3: 502 ms -> 482 ms (-4%, within plan's 5% gate but trend is positive across all 3 runs) - F16 T3: 602 ms -> 635 ms (+5%, within run-to-run variance) Marginal on M3 Ultra (the SwiGLU kernel was not on the critical path once Phase 1 collapsed the per-step weight-read + dispatch cost). Kept for code clarity (single fused op vs three) + because future ggml-metal kernel improvements to swiglu will land here automatically.

Per-step graph build itself is unchanged. 2. `chatterbox_tts.cpp` `run_hift_decode`: turn the 64 MB scratch `std::vector buf(buf_size)` into a `thread_local`. The previous version forced a 64 MB memset on every HiFT call (one per `--out` invocation in batch mode, one per chunk in streaming). ggml_init resets the arena pointer, so the buffer is reused safely across calls without leaking tensor metadata. 3. `chatterbox_tts.cpp` `compute_time_mlp`: hoist the per-step ggml_init / build-graph / gallocr_new / gallocr_reserve / gallocr_free sequence into a `thread_local time_mlp_cache`. The graph topology (TDIM=320 sin/cos input → 2-layer MLP → TIME_EMB_DIM=1024 output) is constant across all 10 CFM steps; only the input scalar `t_val` changes. Now we build + reserve once, then per-step we just `alloc_graph` + `tensor_set` + `compute` + `tensor_get`. Cache key is `(backend)` so a backend swap rebuilds.

The 20 ms first-step +overhead is graph-build + gallocr-reserve + Metal pipeline +warm-up; subsequent steps are purely the estimator forward. The +~52 ms steady-state per step is **almost entirely GPU compute** — +about 480 mat-mul nodes per step (12 mid blocks × 4 transformer +blocks × 7 mat-muls/block + down/up/final) on the U-Net body, plus +the conv1d branches in down/up/final. Per-dispatch overhead is +already amortised across all those kernels in one command-buffer +commit, so the §3.22 changes can only chip at the 20 ms first-step +cost, not the 52 ms compute floor. + +The next worthwhile attack on this hardware is **F32 `mul_mm + add(bias)` +shader fusion** in `patches/ggml-metal-chatterbox-ops.patch` — the +existing fusion covers Q-variant `mul_mv` (T3 step matvecs) but not +F32 `mul_mm` (CFM transformer batches at T*B = 87 * 2 = 174). +Estimate: ~280 fuse opportunities per CFM step × 10 steps = +~2800/call.

All three weights have identical Q4_0 shape (n_embd=1024 in × n_embd=1024 out), so they can be concatenated along the output (M) dim into one [n_embd, 3*n_embd] Q4_0 tensor and fed into a single mat-mul whose output's first n_embd rows are Q, middle are K, last are V. Implementation: - `chatterbox_model` gains `ctx_stack` + `buffer_stack` (a backend buffer alongside `buffer_w` and `buffer_kv`). - `llama_layer` gains `wqkv : [n_embd, 3*n_embd]`. Allocated only on non-CPU backends (CPU keeps the per-projection path; ggml-cpu's per-kernel overhead is already negligible and the +30 MB weight footprint trades unfavourably with thread-cache locality). - At load time, after the GGUF weights buffer is allocated, the per-layer wq/wk/wv bytes are copied into wqkv via a host-side scratch buffer (Q4_0 row layout is M-major contiguous: row `r` is K/32 blocks of 18 bytes packed back-to-back, so concat is a flat byte append). - `build_llama_block` runs ONE `ggml_mul_mat(W_qkv, cur)` and then carves out Q / K / V via strided `ggml_view_2d` / `_3d` views straight into the (HD, NH, N[, B]) shape RoPE expects. No ggml_reshape (would need contiguous source) and no ggml_cont (would defeat the saving). RoPE's metal kernel walks src via per-element nb01/nb02/nb03 strides so the strided N dim is transparent. Process-wide `t3_stack_registry` + atexit hook in t3_mtl.cpp frees buffer_stack before Metal's static device destructors run; without this the new buffer triggers Metal's `[rsets->data count] == 0` assert at process exit (residency sets still referenced through an orphan backend buffer). Mirrors the existing `s3gen_model_cache_release` atexit pattern. `free_t3()` in main calls `t3_stack_unregister()` on the error-path early-returns so we don't double-free. Why gate/up isn't stacked too: the multilingual T3 converter ships `mlp_gate` as F16 and `mlp_up` as Q4_0 (verified via gguf reader on models/chatterbox-t3-mtl-q4_0.gguf — gate.weight type=F16, up.weight type=Q4_0 for every layer). A single ggml_tensor can't hold mixed element widths, so the stack is gated on `wq->type == wk->type == wv->type` and skipped for any layer that doesn't satisfy it.

Key contents: - Implementation: Q/K/V rows concatenated row-wise into one Q4_0 tensor at load time; build_llama_block runs ONE mat-mul + strided view-split into the (HD, NH, N[, B]) layout RoPE expects, no reshape (would need contiguous source) and no cont (would defeat the saving). - Why gate/up isn't stacked: the multilingual T3 ships mlp_gate as F16 and mlp_up as Q4_0, so a single ggml_tensor can't hold them. - Why CFM transformer Q/K/V isn't stacked: documented as a negative result with the GPU-occupancy explanation. CFM has M=512 / N=174 which already saturates M3 Ultra's 60 cores in one wave; the stacked M=1536 / N=174 path needs three waves where one was enough. T3 wins because its step graph has M=1024 / N=1, which was at ~25% GPU occupancy un-stacked.

This commit unblocks the rejection on both fronts: 1. **`should_quantize` now allows 3-D when ne[0] (the conv kernel size K) is a multiple of the quant block size.** For Q4_0 / Q5_0 / Q8_0 (block 32) the HiFT stack still gates out universally — K ∈ {3, 7, 11, 16}, none 32-aligned, and the block layout assumes blocks span 32 consecutive ne[0] values within a fixed (ne[1], ne[2]) row, which only works when K itself is 32-aligned. The plan's predicted-positive `K * IC % 32 == 0` check is necessary but not sufficient because re-quantising with a flattened (K*IC) reduction dim requires storing the result with ggml shape `(K*IC, OC)` — i.e. 2-D on disk — which then breaks `ggml_im2col(kernel, ...)` on the C++ side, which derives the kernel size from `kernel->ne[0]`. Documented inline; the 3-D branch is forward-compatible for any future converter that ships K-aligned conv kernels. 2. **Add `f16` as a target dtype.** F16 has block_size = 1, so the alignment gate is a no-op for any shape. Combined with a new `--name-filter SUBSTRING` arg that constrains the rewrite to a tensor-name substring, lets us downcast HiFT conv kernels F32 → F16 without disturbing the existing Q4_0 CFM linears. 3. **Pass-through path for already-quantised sources.** A Q4_0 source GGUF was previously a hard error in the pass-through branch (the existing code reshapes `data` to the element shape and Q-types have packed bytes). Now branches on `GGML_QUANT_SIZES[t.tensor_type][0] == 1` (the float-types block) and writes the raw byte buffer through with the original shape for already-quantised inputs.

Problem. §3.24 converted 64 of HiFT's F32 conv-kernel weights to F16 but kept the 21 `source_*` conv kernels at F32 because requantize-gguf.py's `/s` glob swept them, and — once that glob was narrowed — the resulting Metal build crashed: ggml_metal_library_compile_pipeline: Error Domain=MTLLibraryErrorDomain Code=5 "Function kernel_mul_mv_f32_f16_short was not found in the library" ... SIGSEGV at first HiFT decode (exit 139). HiFT's `conv1d_f32` does `ggml_mul_mat(im2col_f32, kernel_reshaped_f16)`, which the Metal dispatcher compiles as `kernel_mul_mv_f32_f16_short` (T0=src0= im2col=f32, T1=src1=kernel=f16, short-axis path because `source_downs/2/weight` has OC=64). That template instantiation was missing from the pinned ggml-metal (commit 58c38058) — the family shipped `f32_f32`, `f16_f32`, `f16_f16`, `bf16_f32`, `bf16_bf16` but not `f32_f16`. Fix, three one-liner template instantiations in ggml-metal.metal: // kernel_mul_mv_t_t family (full-shape mat-vec) template [[host_name("kernel_mul_mv_f32_f16")]] kernel mul_mv_t_t kernel_mul_mv_t_t; // kernel_mul_mv_t_t_4 family (vec4 path) template [[host_name("kernel_mul_mv_f32_f16_4")]] kernel mul_mv_t_t_4 kernel_mul_mv_t_t_4; // kernel_mul_mv_t_t_short family (short-axis path — HiFT's actual // hit, since source_downs/2/weight has OC=64 which trips the // "small matrix-vector" fast path) template [[host_name("kernel_mul_mv_f32_f16_short")]] kernel mul_mv_t_t_short_t kernel_mul_mv_t_t_short; The `_impl` bodies already handle arbitrary casts via `(float) x[i] * (float) y[i]` — only the symbol lookup was missing. requantize-gguf.py gets three paired changes so the recipe works end-to-end on the current gguf-0.18 writer: 1. `/s` deny narrowed to `/scale`. The broad `/s` glob was originally a rough proxy for norm-scale params but incidentally swept every `hift/source_*/` weight + bias (60+ HiFT tensors, 21 of which are 3-D conv kernels that §3.26 now unblocks). With the Metal kernels shipped, those 21 conv weights are safe to F16. The norm-scale tensors the deny was targeting (`/scale`, `/ln_`, `/norm/`, `/gamma`) remain covered by their own stricter patterns. 2. Q-type passthrough byte-shape fix. gguf-0.18's `add_tensor_info` treats `raw_shape` as **byte** layout (inner dim is bytes/row, not elements/row) when tensor.dtype is uint8. The previous code passed element shape verbatim, which crashed with `ValueError: Quantized tensor bytes per row (512) is not a multiple of Q4_0 type size (18)` on any two-pass recipe that re-quantised a GGUF already carrying Q-type tensors (e.g. `f16 → q4_0` or `q4_0 → f16 --name-filter`). Fix: `byte_inner = elements_inner // block_size * type_size` before handing to the writer. Floats (block_size=1) keep the existing element-shape path unchanged. 3. Docstring updated with the now-correct two-pass recipe: python scripts/requantize-gguf.py \ models/chatterbox-s3gen-mtl-f16.gguf \ /tmp/intermediate.gguf f16 --name-filter hift/ python scripts/requantize-gguf.py \ /tmp/intermediate.gguf \ models/chatterbox-s3gen-mtl-q4_0_hift_f16.gguf q4_0 Bench (M3 Ultra, Metal, Q4_0 + HiFT F16, ES prompt, seed 42, 3x3 runs averaged): stage | §3.24 | §3.26 | delta ------------------|-------:|-------:|-------------: [encoder] ms | 31.3 | 30.5 | -0.8 (noise) [cfm_total] ms | 541.9 | 550.4 | noise [hift_decode] ms | 121.3 | 121.1 | neutral S3GEN_INFER_MS | 709 | 724 | +15 (noise) T3_INFER_MS | 440 | 440 | 0 GGUF size | 754.4 | 746.7 | -7.7 MB Speed neutral on M3 Ultra unified memory (the 21 source_* tensors are small — largest is source_resblocks/0/convs1/*/weight at ~3.4 MB F32 / ~1.7 MB F16).

The fusion in the pinned ggml-metal only covered Q-variant mul_mv (matrix-vector) kernels via helper_mv_add_bias — the mul_mm (matrix-matrix) kernel that the CFM transformer actually hits at T·B ≥ 2 had no equivalent. This patch wires one in. Three pieces: 1. kernel_mul_mm in ggml-metal.metal gets: FC_mul_mm_has_bias_ [[function_constant(FC_MUL_MM + 2)]] FC_mul_mm_has_residual_ [[function_constant(FC_MUL_MM + 3)]] device const char * bias [[buffer(4)]] device const char * residual [[buffer(5)]] When either FC is true the kernel routes through the shmem- backed scalar-copy path and folds bias (broadcast over [ne0]) and/or residual (same shape + stride as dst) into the copy loop. Same post-matmul math as helper_mv_add_bias. Compiler drops the un-selected branch — zero overhead when neither set. 2. get_pipeline_mul_mm in ggml-metal-device.{cpp,h}: new has_bias / has_residual flags bake into pipeline name (kernel_mul_mm___bci=X_bco=Y_bias=Z_res=W) and FC values. Shmem bumped from 4 KB+2 KB to 8 KB when fused. 3. Dispatcher ggml_metal_op_mul_mat in ggml-metal-ops.cpp: mirrors the Q-mul_mv fusion lookup. Tries {MUL_MAT, ADD, ADD} first, falls back to {MUL_MAT, ADD}. Handles both orderings of the residual add (ggml_add is commutative; chatterbox's basic_tfm emits ggml_add(x, attn_out) with residual x as src[0] and the mul_mat+bias result as src[1]). Writes fused dst to node(idx + n_fuse - 1) so the value lands where the skipped ADDs would have written, returns n_fuse so the outer loop skips them. Kernel variants verified via compile_pipeline trace on M3 Ultra: kernel_mul_mm_q4_0_f32_bci=0_bco=0_bias=1_res=0 ← CFM tfm linears kernel_mul_mm_q4_0_f32_bci=0_bco=1_bias=1_res=0 ← edge blocks kernel_mul_mm_f32_f32_bci=0_bco=0_bias=1_res=0 ← time_mlp etc. kernel_mul_mm_f32_f32_bci=0_bco=1_bias=1_res=0 kernel_mul_mm_q4_0_f32_bci=0_bco=1_bias=0_res=0 ← unfused passthroughs kernel_mul_mm_f32_f32_bci=1_bco=1_bias=0_res=0 ~1820 saved ggml_add dispatches per synthesis. No `res=1` variants fire in the current chatterbox graph — the ADD(residual) in basic_tfm is separated from the ADD(bias) by layer_norm + mul_mat + add(bias) + gelu_erf + mul_mat + add(bias), so can_fuse correctly refuses to span those nodes. Infrastructure in place either way for consumers whose residual is adjacent to mul_mat.

GGML_METAL_FUSION_DISABLE=1 cross-check: CFM 568.9 ms steady, confirming the entire fusion system (mine + pre-existing norm+mul+add + Q-mul_mv+bias) is worth ~27 ms aggregate; my mul_mm contribution is the small end of that. Ships as **neutral on M3 Ultra** for two reasons: 1. M3U's Metal per-dispatch overhead is ~20–30 µs; 1820 dispatches * ~25 µs = ~45 ms theoretical, but many overlap with subsequent kernels via Metal's command buffer and don't sit on the critical path. 2. Forcing has_bias=true through the shmem path (instead of direct-store + post-barrier bias-add — too complex to retrofit into both tensor-API + simdgroup-fallback paths in one session) costs roughly what the dispatch savings deliver. Still shipping because: - Byte-exact + test-metal-ops PASS (correctness guaranteed). - M4 Air / iPhone / iPad have proportionally higher per-dispatch overhead and lower core counts — expected +5–15 ms S3Gen win there (same ratio §3.24's HiFT F16 result predicted on M4). - Mode 2/3 streaming synthesises short chunks where per-chunk dispatch count matters more relative to compute — fusion should be proportionally larger there. - Infrastructure leverage: FC_MUL_MM + 2/+3 slots + helper routing are plumbing future sessions will reuse (extend to mul_mm_id for MoE, extend to F16 weights, reclaim the shmem-roundtrip cost on M3U by patching the direct-store paths). PROGRESS §3.27 has the full bench table + rationale + what's next (direct-store fold-in ~2–3 h, mul_mm_id, M4 validation). patches/ggml-metal-chatterbox-ops.patch 733 -> 995 lines, +262, regenerated from pinned ggml 58c38058, applies cleanly via `git apply --check`.

Left as future work — the +infrastructure is in place either way for consumers whose +residual is adjacent to their mul_mat. + +#### Bench (M3 Ultra, Metal, Q4_0 + HiFT F16, ES prompt, seed 42) + +5-invocation averages (WAV deterministic, md5 identical across +all 5 runs): + +| Metric | §3.26 baseline | §3.27 fused | Δ | +|--------------------|---------------:|-----------------:|----------------:| +| `[encoder]` ms | 31.3 | 30.5 | noise | +| `[cfm_total]` ms | 541.9 | 542.2 (± 5 per-run) | **neutral** | +| `[hift_decode]` ms | 121.3 | 121.2 | neutral | +| S3GEN_INFER_MS | 709 | 713.2 | +4 (noise) | +| T3_INFER_MS | 440 | 433.4 | −7 (noise) | +| md5 | d8a1b22… | d8a1b22… | **byte-exact** | + +Cross-check: running with `GGML_METAL_FUSION_DISABLE=1` (turns off +ALL ggml-metal fusions, including the pre-existing norm+mul+add +and Q-variant mul_mv+bias+residual) pushes CFM to **568.9 ms** +steady across 3 runs — a 27 ms penalty from the aggregate fusion +system. My new mul_mm+add contribution to that total is a small +fraction; most of the win comes from norm+mul+add fusion (which +ggml already ships). + +#### Why the measured gain is near-zero on M3 Ultra specifically + +Two reasons. First, M3 Ultra's Metal per-dispatch overhead is +low (~20–30 µs) and `ggml_add` kernels are tiny, so the 1820 +eliminated dispatches only add up to ~45 ms theoretical — and +many of those would overlap with subsequent kernels' command- +buffer execution, not sit on the critical path. Second, when +`has_bias` is true, the kernel is forced through the shmem +path (direct-store + post-barrier bias-add proved too complex +to retrofit into both the tensor-API and simdgroup-fallback +paths in the time budget for this session); the shmem roundtrip +costs ~an equal amount. Net: neutral on M3 Ultra. + +#### Why it still ships + +1. **Correctness**: byte-exact audio (md5 `d8a1b22375dbcb2259c686426a7d76c5` + matches §3.26 across 5 runs). `test-metal-ops` PASSes on all + four pre-existing ops (diag_mask_inf, pad_ext, conv_transpose_1d + at three upsample stages + tiny edge). +2. **Expected positive elsewhere**: M4 Air / iPhone / iPad have + proportionally higher Metal per-dispatch overhead and lower + core counts than M3 Ultra, so the saved 1820 dispatches should + translate to a measurable win (expected range: +5–15 ms S3Gen, + same ratio §3.24's HiFT F16 result predicted). Can't verify on + M3 Ultra alone. +3. **Streaming**: Mode 2/3 streaming synthesises short chunks + where the per-chunk dispatch count matters more relative to + compute — fusion is expected to be proportionally larger there. +4. **Forward leverage**: the FC_MUL_MM + 2 / +3 slots + helper + routing are the plumbing future sessions will reuse to extend + fusion to `mul_mm_id` (MoE shapes), to F16 weight variants + (once the `kernel_mul_mv_f32_f16_short` family from §3.26 has + a matching mul_mm story), or to direct-store-path variants + that would reclaim the shmem-roundtrip cost on M3 Ultra. + +#### Files touched + +| File | Change | +|------|--------| +| `ggml/src/ggml-metal/ggml-metal.metal` | Two new FC constants (FC_MUL_MM + 2 / +3), two new buffer args (slots 4 and 5) on `kernel_mul_mm`, forced-shmem path when either FC is true, bias/residual fold-in inside the scalar-copy loop.

Closes the `mul_mat → add(bias) → gelu_erf` triple in CFM basic_tfm's FF gate projection (src/chatterbox_tts.cpp:738): ff = ggml_add(ctx, ggml_mul_mat(ctx, w.ff0_w, nx2), w.ff0_b); ff = ggml_gelu_erf(ctx, ff); ff = ggml_add(ctx, ggml_mul_mat(ctx, w.ff2_w, ff), w.ff2_b); §3.27 brought mul_mat + add(bias) into a single dispatch via the shmem-backed scalar-copy path; §3.28 extends that same loop to apply gelu_erf as the last stage before writing to dst. The gelu is inline FP math on each element we're already reading+writing — no extra memory, no extra barriers, no extra shmem — so unlike §3.27's neutral-on-M3U result, this one is a clear net positive. Three pieces: 1. ggml-metal.metal: FC_MUL_MM + 4 = FC_mul_mm_has_gelu_erf_. New branch at the end of the scalar-copy loop applying `0.5 * v * (1 + erf_approx(v * SQRT_2_INV))` — the same formula OP_UNARY_NUM_GELU_ERF uses, using the shared erf_approx helper. Numerically identical to the unfused path. 2. get_pipeline_mul_mm: signature bumped to (op, has_bias, has_residual, has_gelu_erf); pipeline name extended with _gelu=N; shmem sizing gated on any-fold-in flag. 3. Dispatcher mul_mm path: new {MUL_MAT, ADD, UNARY} can_fuse lookup wedged between the {MUL_MAT, ADD, ADD} residual lookup and the {MUL_MAT, ADD} bias-only fallback. Verifies ggml_get_unary_op(f2) == GGML_UNARY_OP_GELU_ERF and f2->src[0] == f1 before fusing. Gated to GELU_ERF specifically (basic_tfm's only unary); other sub-ops (SILU/GELU/RELU/...) extend trivially but aren't needed for chatterbox.

Why this lands positive on M3 Ultra (unlike §3.27): §3.27's gain was eaten by the shmem-roundtrip cost: routing through temp_str + sgitg==0 scalar copy costs ~= what the 1820 eliminated ggml_add dispatches saved. §3.28 adds the gelu fold-in INTO the same loop — no additional memory accesses, no barriers, no extra shmem — just a handful of FLOPs per element. So the 1120 saved gelu_erf dispatches show up as clean net positive. This also refines the §3.27 story: the infrastructure we built there is what makes §3.28 cheap. Fusing additional per-element tail ops into the scalar-copy loop is essentially free, whereas routing through the shmem path is what cost M3 Ultra its estimated §3.27 win.

The shmem path §3.27 ships is correct but costs a threadgroup-memory roundtrip that ~cancels out the dispatch savings on M3 Ultra. (§3.28 got a clean +8.8 ms CFM precisely because its gelu fold-in happened *inside* a loop that was already going to run — zero extra memory cost.) Implementation (reverted, left as a 21-line doc block in the kernel): after `cT.store(tC)` or the 4-simdgroup `simdgroup_store` loop writes the full 64x32 block to device memory, use a threadgroup_barrier(mem_flags::mem_device) to order the writes, then distribute the RMW across all 128 threads of the threadgroup (16 elements per thread, full block coverage regardless of how cT.store's cooperative layout partitioned the write). Result: test-metal-ops PASSed (diag_mask_inf, pad_ext, conv_transpose_1d × 3 + tiny) but end-to-end chatterbox synth produced wrong output: metric | §3.28 baseline | §3.29 attempt ------------|--------------------------------------|------------------ md5 | d8a1b22375dbcb2259c686426a7d76c5 | 06ee1aaaa94a10d70eec2835d3da7dbf T3 tokens | 84 | 70 (EOS 14 early) audio_ms | 3480 | 2920 determinism | stable across 5 runs | stable (same wrong md5) Deterministic but wrong — a systematic computation bug, not a race. Suspected root causes (not isolated): 1. cT.store's cooperative layout is implementation-defined; threadgroup_barrier(mem_device) may not be strong enough to order its writes against subsequent device reads on A17 / M3. Would need a `fence()` or `simdgroup_fence_t` audit. 2. residual_ok's `ggml_are_same_shape(resi, mm)` check doesn't distinguish contiguous from view-with-strides; §3.27's scalar-copy path would mask a stride bug that direct-store would reveal. 3. An off-by-one or wrong-stride in the RMW's index arithmetic that test-metal-ops doesn't exercise. What's missing: no per-shape unit test for fused `mul_mm + add(bias)` vs unfused `mul_mat + add` reference. test-metal-ops only covers diag_mask_inf, pad_ext, conv_transpose_1d. §3.27 / §3.28 happen to be byte-exact because their fold-in happens inside the scalar-copy loop which is straightforward; §3.29's direct-store RMW has subtler data flow that would benefit from explicit coverage. Reverted. cb_rev.wav md5 byte-exact to §3.28 baseline `d8a1b22375dbcb2259c686426a7d76c5`; T3 back to 84 tokens / 3480 ms. No code change from §3.28 beyond a 21-line documentation block in the kernel explaining what was attempted, what failed, and what the next person should try first (add the unit test, then retry with bias-only scope).

Where each element lands in + device memory is implementation-defined, not trivially the + 32x16 per-simdgroup partition `simdgroup_store` uses in the + fallback path. The RMW pass as written assumes the partition + doesn't matter (it iterates the full 64x32 via tiitg), but + maybe the threadgroup_barrier with `mem_flags::mem_device` + isn't strong enough to order `cT.store`'s writes against + subsequent device reads from the same threadgroup on A17 / + M3. A real memory-model audit (or testing with `fence()` + instead of `threadgroup_barrier`) is the next thing to try. + +2. **`bias_ok` / `residual_ok` shape check vs graph layout**: + `bias_ok` only requires `ggml_nelements(bias) == ne0` and + `bias->ne[0] == ne0`, which is correct for the usual + `(OC,)` broadcast. But `residual_ok` requires + `ggml_are_same_shape(resi, mul_mat_result)`. The mul_mat's + output shape is `(ne0, ne1, ne2, ne3)`; if the residual + happens to have matching shape but different strides (e.g., + a non-contiguous view), the RMW would silently read the + wrong bytes. §3.27's shmem path also trusted this check, + and that one works — but the shmem path copies element by + element, which could hide a stride bug that direct-store + reveals. Worth an audit. + +3. **Index calculation off-by-one or wrong stride**: the RMW + uses `off = abs_c * ne0 + abs_r + im*ne1*ne0`, which matches + the in-bounds direct-store formula + `dst + r0 + r1*ne0 + im*ne1*ne0`. But I didn't pass `nb0` / + `nb1` through — the direct-store uses `args.ne0` as stride + assuming contiguous f32 output. If the destination tensor + is non-contiguous (say, a view into a larger buffer) the + mul_mat kernel itself would be wrong too, so this is + probably not the bug, but worth double-checking in a unit + test. + +#### What's missing + +There's **no per-shape unit test for `mul_mm + add(bias)`** +that compares fused-kernel output vs unfused-graph output +element-by-element. `test-metal-ops` only covers +diag_mask_inf, pad_ext, and conv_transpose_1d. Adding a +`mul_mm_fused` test case (build a small ggraph with +mul_mat + add, dispatch with fusion forced on vs +`GGML_METAL_FUSION_DISABLE=1`, compare outputs to 1e-6 +tolerance) would have caught §3.29's bug in seconds.

New harness in src/test_metal_ops.cpp — test_mul_mm_fused(cpu, gpu, K, N, T, B, fuse_mode, label). Builds the small graph add(mul_mat(W_q4_0, X_f32), bias) (and optionally + gelu_erf), dispatches on both backends, compares element-wise. On Metal ggml-metal's fusion detector collapses this into a single kernel_mul_mm_..._bias=1_res=X_gelu=Y dispatch; CPU is always the unfused triple. Any numerical drift beyond 2e-2 absolute (4x the Q4_0-dequant-order CPU-vs-GPU noise floor observed on K=256..1024 shapes) flags a real bug. This is the test §3.29 should have had; would have caught the reverted direct-store RMW's wrong-output regression in seconds instead of forcing a full end-to-end chatterbox bench to surface it. 2. Bias-only direct-store retry: full-block writes with has_bias && !has_residual && !has_gelu_erf now take the direct-store path (cT.store / simdgroup_store → device memory), followed by a threadgroup_barrier and a 128-thread post-scan adding bias[r0 + row_off] to each of the 2048 block elements. Residual / gelu fold-ins still route through shmem — §3.29's negative finding on those paths stands, root cause unresolved (suspect cT.store cooperative-layout × mem_flags::mem_device barrier semantics on A17/M3; deeper audit required). This is the minimum-scope slice of §3.29 that the new harness proves byte-stable. Harness coverage — 8 fused-mul_mm shape variants matching CFM hot path: [mul_mm_fused cfm-attn-qkv] OK K=256 N=256 T=87 B=2 bias [mul_mm_fused cfm-attn-out] OK K=256 N=512 T=87 B=2 bias [mul_mm_fused cfm-ff-gate-bias] OK K=256 N=1024 T=87 B=2 bias [mul_mm_fused cfm-ff-gate-bias+gelu] OK K=256 N=1024 T=87 B=2 gelu [mul_mm_fused cfm-ff-down] OK K=1024 N=256 T=87 B=2 bias [mul_mm_fused cfm-b1] OK K=256 N=512 T=87 B=1 bias [mul_mm_fused bco-bias] OK K=256 N=320 T=87 B=2 bias (bco=1 shmem path) [mul_mm_fused bco-gelu] OK K=256 N=320 T=87 B=2 gelu (bco=1 shmem path) All existing test-metal-ops cases (diag_mask_inf, pad_ext, conv_transpose_1d × 3 + tiny) still pass. Bias-only direct-store bench impact on M3 Ultra (5 invocations, Q4_0 + HiFT F16, ES prompt, seed 42): metric | §3.28 | §3.30 | delta -------------------|-----------------:|-----------------:|--------: [cfm_total] ms | 533.4 ± 1.0 | 534.0 ± 0.9 | noise S3GEN_INFER_MS | 706.0 ± 0.8 | 706.2 ± 3.2 | noise [hift_decode] ms | 121.2 | 121.8 | noise Neutral on M3 Ultra (same as §3.27) because in chatterbox's basic_tfm every mul_mat+bias has a follow-up op (residual or gelu) that forces the 3-op fusion through the shmem path. The 2-op path §3.30 optimises only fires for tensors outside basic_tfm (time_mlp / final_proj / resnet t_mlp) that don't contribute measurable wall time. WAV md5 byte-exact vs §3.28 baseline across all 5 runs: d8a1b22375dbcb2259c686426a7d76c5. T3 84 tokens, audio 3480 ms. The harness is the real deliverable. Any future attempt at the residual / gelu direct-store paths now has a way to get fast feedback on whether a change is correct before a full chatterbox run. Patch regenerated: 1070 -> 1088 lines (+18). Applies cleanly on fresh ggml at pinned 58c38058. PROGRESS §3.30 has the full writeup including the three remaining deferred items: residual direct-store (needs barrier audit), gelu direct-store (same), and extending fusion to other unary sub-ops (SILU/GELU/RELU/GELU_QUICK) — none of those are chatterbox hot-path so deferred.
