llama.cpp update optimizes CUDA performance on DGX Spark

The llama.cpp project has released an update, b10481, which includes optimizations for CUDA and dense models running on DGX Spark. The release introduces changes related to MMVQ (Multi-Query Vector Quantization) with specific parameters for warp counts and batch sizes. Additionally, it addresses the handling of Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models by allowing non-expert computations and includes parameter renaming for DGX Spark configurations. AI

IMPACT Optimizations in llama.cpp may improve inference speed and efficiency for users running models on compatible hardware.
