From 81b00db3625bc51320ca87aff7bbfe7f67db6198 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chin-Chang Yang <2770271+ChinChangYang@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sat, 23 May 2026 12:14:42 +0800 Subject: [PATCH 01/50] Add MLX backend for Apple Silicon Introduces a new neural-net backend (USE_BACKEND=MLX) targeting Apple Silicon via Apple's MLX framework. The backend implements the full nninterface contract (model load, batched evaluation, FP16/FP32 paths) and ships with a Winograd 3x3 convolution path plus an adaptive per-shape tuner that picks the fastest implementation for each conv-3x3 shape at model load. Backend - cpp/neuralnet/mlxbackend.cpp: backend implementation. Supports variable board sizes via input masking (same nnXLen/nnYLen contract as other backends; the global COMPILE_MAX_BOARD_LEN bound still applies). FP16/FP32 selected by the mlxUseFP16 config (default auto -> fp16); same input feature layout as the other backends. Mish activation runs FP16-safe (asserts on ACTIVATION_MISH_SCALE8 so out-of-range variants are caught explicitly rather than silently truncated). - cpp/neuralnet/mlxwinograd.h: F(4x4, 3x3) Winograd transform with fused activation + residual add. - cpp/neuralnet/mlxwinotuner.{cpp,h}: per-shape Winograd tuner with adaptive scoring (rotates the candidate set per shape, scores by median-time delta against a baked-default baseline). Logs the conv-3x3 shape distribution at model load. - cpp/neuralnet/mlxtests.cpp: unit tests for the Winograd path and tuner numeric-consistency, gated under runnnlayertests. Build / wiring - cpp/CMakeLists.txt: USE_BACKEND=MLX target. MLX requires CMake 3.27 (cmake_minimum_required stays at 3.18.2 so other backends keep building on older CMake). Links Homebrew's prebuilt libmlx.dylib; OSX deployment target intentionally not pinned so the executable's minos matches the dylib it was linked against. - cpp/main.cpp, cpp/program/setup.cpp, cpp/command/benchmark.cpp: wire MLX into backend selection / benchmark. - cpp/configs/{gtp,analysis,match,contribute}_example.cfg: document mlxUseFP16 (auto / true / false), default auto -> fp16. - Compiling.md: build instructions for the MLX backend. Validation - Cross-backend validation against an Eigen reference (testgpuerror) for b18c384nbt, b40v8, and humanv0 nets shows FP32 max winrate error 0.00095% and FP16 max 2.63%, well within the existing backend tolerances. This is the squash of 130 commits from feature/mlx-backend.

Bring PR#1205's CoreML/ANE transformer work into that converter so the MLX ANE path supports the v15+ transformer trunk: - Transformer MIL support: attention (incl. grouped-query attention), learnable RoPE, SiLU, RMSNorm/batchnorm tips, SwiGLU FFN. - FP16 accuracy precision tiers, gated on actual transformer-block presence (blocksContainTransformer, recursing into nested-bottleneck blocks): narrow trunks (<256ch) build fully FP32; wider ones escalate non-spatial matmuls + global pooling to FP32; very wide (>=320ch) also escalate convs; RMSNorm reductions FP32 in FP16 mode. Plain convnets stay pure FP16 on the ANE (the d052d2a1 regression-fix behavior is preserved). The converter's public API is unchanged, so the MLX call site (CoreMLConversion::convertModelToTemp) needs no edits. The Metal-GPU/MPSGraph portions of PR#1205 (metalbackend.cpp, metallayers.swift) are intentionally not ported -- the MLX backend's native GPU path already has transformer support. Verified on the MLX ANE mux (testgpuerror vs fresh Eigen FP32 references): all 3 transformer test nets pass FP16 thresholds across board sizes/buffer configs (7 configs), a plain convnet stays pure FP16 (non-regression), and runtests + runnnlayertests pass.

Cast maskSum to the input dtype so the whole pooling and the heads stay in the compute dtype (fp16 when useFP16), maximizing fp16 utilization rather than escalating to fp32 for negligible accuracy gain. The masked-max keeps its 1e9 constant in fp32 (1e9 overflows fp16 -> inf -> 0*inf=NaN), then casts the max result back to the compute dtype. The fp32 path is unaffected (the astype casts are no-ops in fp32). Verified via testgpuerror vs fresh Eigen fp32 references on all 3 transformer nets (7 board-size/buffer configs): fp16 winrate error max <= 2.07% (within tolerance, winrate unchanged vs baseline), fp32 path byte-identical, ownership output bit-identical, runnnlayertests pass.

Previously this propagated out of loadOrAutoTune and aborted model load with no fallback. Now each candidate's scoring is wrapped in try/catch: a throw is counted and skipped (mirroring the OpenCL tuner's mark-bad-and-continue), and best/bestTime are seeded with the baked default so even a fully-failing sweep returns a valid result. A separate "flatSweep{Input,Output} skipped=N" log line is emitted only when skips occur; it intentionally omits the colon after the function name so it cannot collide with the regex-tested "flatSweepInput: considered" log line. M3: timeOneInputTransform/timeOneOutputUntransform ran an untimed warmup eval on every call, but the scoring functions already warmed up once before the measured loop -- so every measured rep paid an extra full warmup (~doubling tuning cost). Add a doWarmup parameter gating the internal warmup; the scoring functions drop their explicit warmup and pass (r == 0), so each shape warms exactly once on its first measured rep. Verified by triggering autotuning: gated flat-sweep tests (convergence, log-format, baseline-consistency, per-shape) pass; an end-to-end re-tune via loadOrAutoTune runs a fresh sweep and saves valid fp16/fp32 caches; testgpuerror output is unchanged (tuner params are numerically inert); runtests passes.

Both shipped binaries already carry minos 26.0 (the build host / libmlx's floor), not 13.0, confirming the pins were inert dead code that contradicted the pre-project comment explaining why the deployment target is deliberately not pinned. Delete both pins so code, comment, and reality agree; the comment becomes literally true. Add a guard note documenting that a post-project pin is a no-op so it is not reintroduced. No behavior change: binaries still build at minos 26.0, matching libmlx's minos and MLX's macOS >= 14 requirement. Verified: MLX reconfigure+build clean; METAL branch configures clean; binary minos unchanged (26.0); runtests pass; testgpuerror unchanged (fp32 max 0.00036%, fp16 max 0.863%).

The CoreML graph builder (MILBuilder) then reshapes each flat projection into a [seq, heads, headDim] grid and reshapes the out-projection result back into the trunk, so a mismatched dimension would either read past the weight buffer or build a graph that compiles but computes nonsense - the exact failure mode the existing checkBlockChannels() guard was added to prevent for conv blocks. Thread trunk_num_channels into parseTransformerAttentionBlock (mirroring parseNestedBottleneckBlock) and add a checkAttentionProjDim() helper in the style of checkBlockChannels(), then validate all four projections: qProj.outChannels == numHeads * qHeadDim (master desc.cpp:1129) kProj.outChannels == numKVHeads * qHeadDim (master desc.cpp:1131) vProj.outChannels == numKVHeads * vHeadDim (master desc.cpp:1133) outProj.inChannels == numHeads * vHeadDim (master desc.cpp:1135) qProj.inChannels == trunkNumChannels (master desc.cpp:1430) outProj.outChannels== trunkNumChannels (master desc.cpp:1437) k/vProj.inChannels == trunkNumChannels (gap master leaves implicit to the backend) Six checks mirror master desc.cpp's transformer attention consistency checks exactly; the k/v inChannels checks additionally close a gap master leaves to the backend (all three QKV projections consume the same normed-trunk input, so their inChannels must equal the trunk width). K pairs with Q in the QK^T dot product, so kProj uses qHeadDim; only V carries vHeadDim. Purely additive: throws std::runtime_error on a malformed model, no-op on valid ones, no numerics touched. Verified: MLX build clean, runtests pass, and ANE-path testgpuerror on all three transformer nets (incl. the GQA net with 6 heads/3 KV heads, qk=32/v=16) loads and converts with zero false-positive throws and unchanged numerics.

This drops redundant resident weight copies during conversion. CoreML model serialization is made deterministic (SetSerializationDeterministic) so the output is byte-stable. - The KataGo model parser streams the gzip through a bounded ~1 MB refill buffer instead of decompressing the whole file into memory, while preserving the existing NaN/Inf weight validation. - ModelDesc gains releaseWeights(), which frees the in-memory weight arrays (keeping scalar shape metadata). The Metal backend calls it on the ANE (CoreML) path after converting from the model file on disk, gated by a new ComputeContext::aneOnly flag so it only fires when every configured device is ANE -- the GPU/MPSGraph path keeps its weights. The call is serialized under computeHandleMutex and only scalar dims are read afterward. Measured on b18c384nbt (19x19) over the ANE path: idle steady-state RSS 0.59 GB -> 0.19 GB; peak (load+convert) 0.87 GB -> 0.48 GB. Cross-backend parity vs an Eigen reference is unchanged on both the GPU and ANE paths.

Delete the rvalue overloads of both so any such call fails to compile, forcing temporaries through addOwnedConstOp/registerOwnedWeight (which take ownership). Named lvalues (the model-member call sites) still bind to the const& overload, so no existing caller changes.

After merging the transformer support onto the FloatView branch, these needed two fixes: 1. Dangling view. #1202 made WeightEntry::data a non-owning FloatView, so addConstOp registers a view whose backing buffer must outlive serialization. These locals were passed to addConstOp and would dangle once the build function returns (serialization runs afterwards). Route them through addOwnedConstOp so KataGoOps owns the buffer until serialization. (Under #1205's owning WeightEntry they were copied, so this only surfaces post-merge.) 2. dtype mismatch. emitConstOp declares each const's dtype as m_weight_dtype, but addOwnedConstOp / registerOwnedWeight stored at the global mode (is_fp32 hardcoded false). In an FP16 model these derived consts land in the attention / value-head FP32 sub-region (m_weight_dtype == FLOAT32), so they were declared FP32 but stored FP16. CoreML/ANE then rejects the model at load ("Metadata data type does not match requested type", BNNS error -14), which SIGABRT'd every FP16 ANE transformer. Thread is_fp32 through registerOwnedWeight and have addOwnedConstOp pass is_fp32 = (m_weight_dtype == FLOAT32), mirroring addConstOp so the stored dtype always matches the declared dtype. This also fixes the same latent mismatch for addLinearOp's transposed value-head weights. Verified with testgpuerror against fresh Eigen FP32 references: b7c96h3tfrs and b7c96h6gqa, which previously SIGABRT'd on the FP16 ANE path, now load and match to <0.0005% winrate; convnet ANE output is byte-identical and the Metal GPU path is unchanged. katago runtests and runnnlayertests also pass.

Give ScopedFp32 an active flag (so a conditional window needs no construction-time branch) and an idempotent restore() (to end the window before a trailing cast-down while keeping the dtor's exception-safe restore), then route all six sites through it. The guard is constructed exactly where the manual flip was and restore() called exactly where the manual restore was, so op-emission order -- and thus the serialized converter output -- is unchanged.

Measured on this hardware the winning configs form a broad plateau (many within ~7% of each other, all ~25-40% better than the baked default) and geometry moves end-to-end throughput <=1.5%, so that 16s was spent discriminating run-to-run noise: three forced re-tunes of the same net picked three entirely different winners, all within ~7%. Mirror OpenCL's split: full=false (auto) now sweeps a coarse grid (tg0 {8,16,32,64,128}, tg1 {1,2,4,8,16}, wpt {1,2,4}) -- ~2.7s, still landing ~21% above the default and within ~6% of the wide-sweep winner. full=true keeps the wide grid as the deliberate command-tune, opt-in via KATAGO_MLX_WINOTUNER_FULL=1 (the analog of './katago tuner --full', which openclbackend.cpp pins to full=false at load). Cache format is unchanged; existing caches still load, and FULL+FORCE overwrites with the wide-swept winner. Also loosen two gated tuner stress-test budgets (baseline-anchor 0.25->0.50, convergence 1.10->1.30) that compared single sub-millisecond timing samples and flaked ~1-in-4 on both this and the pre-change binary -- the same dispatch/sync-overhead noise the tuner itself tolerates. They remain gross-error sanity checks. runtests + runnnlayertests pass, gated tuner tests 16/16, testgpuerror fp32 bit-exact and fp16 winrate max 0.55% on the coarse-tuned config.

Now asserts; kept as a default: label so the active -Wswitch-default (CMakeLists.txt) stays clean. - The trunk block-construction loop silently dropped unknown kinds. Added an else { ASSERT_UNREACHABLE; }. - The nested-bottleneck construction loop was a genuine latent bug, not just a missing guard: parseResidualBlockStack (desc.cpp, shared by trunk and nested) accepts nested_bottleneck_block inside a nested bottleneck and the desc layer handles it, but the MLX nested loop omitted NESTED_BOTTLENECK_BLOCK_KIND and silently dropped such a block. Added the missing case (mirroring the trunk loop and Eigen's shared BlockStack) plus an else-assert.

Add an MLX branch that loads the model, builds its conv-3x3 shape histograms, and runs MLXWinogradTuner::loadOrAutoTune with reTune=true so the Winograd input/output transform search runs and overwrites the cache the backend reads at model load. This is the first-class "command tune" path; the load-time auto-tune stays coarse/fast. -full selects the wide candidate grid (the env-var KATAGO_MLX_WINOTUNER_FULL=1 behavior, which still works for triggering a full tune through benchmark/gtp). -testFP16 (auto->FP16) matches the engine's useFP16 default and the cache-filename key. The default output path is MLXWinogradTuner::defaultDirectory/defaultFileName - the exact file the backend loads - verified end-to-end: after a default-path tune, a benchmark model-load logs "Loaded MLX Winograd tuning parameters from" that same file. The OpenCL-only FP16 sub-knobs have no MLX analog and are omitted. The backend guard is restructured from #ifndef USE_OPENCL_BACKEND to a three-way #if/#elif/#else; the OpenCL body is unchanged.

Now that the literal tuner subcommand exists, drop the env var and pin the model-load path to the coarse grid (full=false), so the wide sweep is reached only through `./katago tuner -full`. This mirrors openclbackend.cpp, which pins full=false at load and passes full only from the explicit tuner command, and reinforces the coarse-auto-tune design. No capability is lost: `tuner -full` writes the same cache the backend reads at load, so the prior one-shot workflow (FULL=1 FORCE=1 benchmark) becomes the cleaner two-step (tune once, then run) - the OpenCL workflow. KATAGO_MLX_WINOTUNER (enable/disable) and KATAGO_MLX_WINOTUNER_FORCE (force re-tune) are unchanged; FORCE now only ever drives a coarse re-tune at load. Verified: FULL=1 FORCE=1 benchmark now re-tunes coarse (considered=288 for b10c128, was 2176), while `tuner -full` still sweeps the wide grid (considered=2176). runtests pass; testgpuerror unchanged (fp32 0.0005%, fp16 ~1.0%).

It set reTune=true on the model-load path so a normal benchmark/gtp run would ignore the cache, re-tune, and overwrite. OpenCL has no load-time force-retune analog: OpenCLTuner::loadOrAutoTune loads the cached params if present (falling back to the full-size cache) and only auto-tunes on a complete miss; the only re-tune paths are the explicit tuner command or deleting the cache file. Now that `./katago tuner` works on MLX and always re-runs + overwrites (reTune=true), the env var is redundant with that established pattern, so drop it and pin the load-time reTune=false. The model-load path now loads a valid cache or coarse-tunes once on a miss, never re-tuning a valid cache and never sweeping the wide grid - both are reached only through `./katago tuner` (-full for the wide grid). To refresh the cache, run the tuner command (or delete the cache file). No reachable end-state is lost; only the inline-during-benchmark/gtp convenience, which OpenCL never had. KATAGO_MLX_WINOTUNER (disable tuning, use baked defaults) is unchanged - a distinct switch the command does not cover. Verified: FORCE=1 benchmark now loads the cache instead of re-tuning; KATAGO_MLX_WINOTUNER=0 still disables tuning; runtests pass; testgpuerror unchanged (fp32 0.0005%).

Atomic tuner-cache save. MLXWinogradTuneParams::save now writes to a per-process temp path (filename + ".tmp.") and FileUtils::rename's it onto the final path, so two processes that cache-miss and tune the same model concurrently can no longer tear the shared cache file. 2. Independent Winograd oracle. The GPU and FP16 Winograd metal_kernel tests previously asserted only against cpuConv2d3x3, itself a Winograd F(2,3) impl sharing the kernel's B/G/A transform matrices -- a shared sign/transpose error would cancel and pass. They now also assert against the independent naive direct-conv oracle. 3. Remove the dead seedOverride parameter from MLXWinogradTuner:: loadOrAutoTune (declaration, definition, and both call sites). It was documented "reserved ... currently ignored" and always passed nullptr. 4. Transformer-layer numeric test (runMLXTransformerLayerFP16Test): the transformer path (RMSNorm / attention / RoPE) had no layer-level coverage -- only end-to-end via testgpuerror. Adds RMSNorm fp32-vs-CPU correctness, attention fp16 output-dtype preservation (the regression guard for the just-fixed fp16->fp32 attention-scale promotion), fp16/ fp32 closeness, and a zero-outProj residual-identity anchor; covers fixed-RoPE on/off and mask on/off. Verified: build clean; runtests and runnnlayertests pass; the three transformer nets pass testgpuerror on the MLX GPU path within thresholds.

What changes: - Fast coarse model-load tune. planShapeRotation takes a `full` flag: the per-load coarse tune now uses a 7-rep / 2-rep-floor budget and a trimmed 240-config grid (was 19/3 and 360), ~3.75x fewer GPU dispatches on a cache miss. `tuner -full` keeps the precise 19/3, wide grid. The documented broad plateau (geometry moves end-to-end <=1.5%) justifies the coarse budget. - Greedy coordinate-descent on the coarse path (useGreedy), backed by a new header-only GreedySearch::coordinateDescent core (neuralnet/greedysearch.h) with a standalone unit test (greedysearch_test.cpp, not wired into the katago build). A self-test gate asserts greedy stays within 5% of coarse-exhaustive. - Cross-context, session-scoped tune memo so the main and human SL nets (identical b18c384 3x3-conv shapes) tune once per session, not twice; cleared when the last ComputeContext is freed. - Separate cache files per mode: defaultFileName gains a `_full` suffix; the coarse "fast" tune keeps the legacy name so existing caches hit. - mlxTunerFull / mlxReTune are now read from -override-config in createComputeContext and fed to loadOrAutoTune (were hardcoded full=false, reTune=false). Cache format VERSION unchanged (3). - Diagnostics: tuner candidate-count line + MLX_TUNE_STUDY per-candidate dump; dropped the always-on [MLX-TUNE] sweep stderr line. Deliberately excluded (iOS-app only, no CLI value): the CoreML cache bridge wiring (686f823e), the iOS extern-C katagocoreml shims (aebf3e0c), and the iOS/visionOS set_cache_limit cap (97d3453e).

No change to inference, tuning results, or the eval hot path. - Fold the three file-scope memo globals (g_winoTuneMemoMutex, g_winoTuneMemo, g_liveComputeContexts) into one WinogradTuneMemo unit with tryGet/put/retain/release. The locking obligation and the "clear on last context release" session-scope invariant now live in one place instead of being open-coded across createComputeContext, freeComputeContext, and the ComputeHandle ctor. - Extract the ~70-line tuner orchestration block out of the ComputeHandle ctor into a free resolveTuneParams(context, loadedModel, useFP16): shape-key build, memo lookup, loadOrAutoTune, memo store. It reads only ComputeContext + LoadedModel state, so it stands alone. - Collapse the verbatim-duplicated "exactly one inference path" invariant check (ANE early-return and GPU end) into a checkExactlyOnePath() member. Validation (Apple M3 Max, b18 uec vs eigen_reference_b18.json): runtests + runnnlayertests pass; FP32 winrate max 0.00065% (bit-identical to baseline); 2 GPU server threads reuse the memo across handles ("Reusing MLX Winograd tuning for shape ..._fast") with no deadlock and no "encoder is already encoding".

No change to candidate enumeration, winner selection, tuning results, or the eval hot path -- only how the already-computed diagnostic line is built. flatSweepInput and flatSweepOutput each carried a ~40-line copy of the same tail: an optional skipped-count line, the per-shape median suffix loop, and the considered/best/baseline/delta_pct summary. The two copies differed only in the sweep label, the per-shape scorer, and whether the best-config body prints vw/gridOrder. - Extract renderPerShapeMs() for the " shape_ms=c:,..." suffix. - Extract logFlatSweep() to own the skipped + summary lines, including the %+.1f delta_pct (sign-forced for the gated regex) and the best=none / delta_pct=nan degenerate branch. The regex-pinned log format (mlxtests.cpp) now has a single source of truth. - Each sweep keeps only its own best-config field rendering (input adds vw/gridOrder) and hands the rest off. perShapeStr is built on the same (best && baseline>=1e-9) condition logFlatSweep uses for delta_pct, so the nan branch stays in lockstep. Net -69/+67 lines. Validation (Apple M3 Max, b18 uec vs eigen_reference_b18.json): runtests + runnnlayertests pass, including the gated flatSweepInput / flatSweepOutput log-format regex checks (KATAGO_MLX_WINOTUNER_RUN_LOG_FORMAT_TEST=1). A forced retune (mlxReTune=true) emits byte-compatible sweep lines and FP32 winrate max stays 0.00065% (bit-identical to baseline).
