From 51c6b67e8bd44639877d55f57382f89897c5c26f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Millaguie Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2026 15:20:34 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] tests : gate the DT3 GEMM fallback by bit-identity with an F16 GEMM The dequantize + cuBLAS fallback computes in fp16 (CUBLAS_COMPUTE_16F) on fast-fp16 hardware and in TF32 under GGML_CUDA_CUBLAS_COMPUTE_TYPE=f32, so no analytic tolerance separates 'correct' from 'broken' there without also tracking cuBLAS numerics. What IS ours to guarantee: the fallback must behave exactly as if the weights were an F16 tensor holding fp16(dequant(block)). Gate on that bit-identity and demote the analytic GEMM errors to INFO. --- tests/test-dt3-gpu.cpp | 67 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----- 1 file changed, 60 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/tests/test-dt3-gpu.cpp b/tests/test-dt3-gpu.cpp index 239c903ce..19e7f28c6 100644 --- a/tests/test-dt3-gpu.cpp +++ b/tests/test-dt3-gpu.cpp @@ -319,17 +319,20 @@ static int test_mul_mat(ggml_backend_t backend, ggml_type type, const std::vecto const mat_err err16 = compare_mat(gpu, ref16); // n <= 8 is the MMVQ path with exact integer dot products, judged - // against the exact reference; larger n is the dequantize + GEMM - // fallback, judged against the better of the exact and fp16-rounded - // references (which one applies depends on the hardware and on - // GGML_CUDA_CUBLAS_COMPUTE_TYPE) + // against the exact reference.
