Problem description & steps to reproduce
When running both models using tensor parallelism for both GPU's and offloading the kv cache to cpu crashes.
This is an entirely AI generated fix I made that can be used as reference (at least the PR describes the issue in more detail than I understand): GenerelSchwerz#48
Steps to reproduce:
Two CUDA devices, any model with n_head_kv > 1. llama-cli is conversation-only now,
so use llama-completion.
cmake -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DGGML_CUDA=ON -DCMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES="86;89"
cmake --build build -j --target llama-completion
build/bin/llama-completion -m <model>.gguf \
-ngl 99 -c 4096 -n 32 --temp 0 --seed 1 --no-warmup --jinja \
-p "Say hello." \
-sm tensor -ts 55,45 -nkvo
Dropping -nkvo, or using -sm layer, works.
