perf: fuse attn Q+KV into one qkv linear (llama-style) - #12
Conversation
Fuse the EBF attention's q_linear and kv_linear into a single [3*H*D, D]
linear at conversion time (qkv.weight/bias), matching the estimator's joint
attention which already used packed QKV. One matmul instead of two per
attention block (encoder 4 + segmenter 8 per D3PM pass): fewer graph nodes,
one read of x per projection, one fewer backend submit per block on GPU.
Numerics are exact: rows are quant-block aligned on the in-dim, so packed vs
separate Q8 quantization is bit-identical. Verified byte-identical note CSV
vs the pre-fusion model on CPU n8 (33 notes) and Vulkan Q8 n8 (33 notes).
- ops_attn: AttentionWeights.w_qkv/b_qkv + chunk_three (removed chunk_two)
- binders (encoder/segmenter): read attn.attn.qkv.{weight,bias}
- converter: fuse q_linear/kv_linear pairs (order-independent); audit maps
fused names; GAME_ARCH_VERSION 1 -> 2 (GGUF tensor-name schema change)

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe conversion script now emits fused QKV tensors. C++ bindings load these tensors, and attention splits the fused projection into query, key, and value views. ChangesFused QKV attention
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to Malformed checkpoints can pass the audit and then fail with an unhelpful error during conversion; adding explicit Q/KV pair validation is a bounded follow-up, so the PR remains mergeable with owner awareness.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Validate each Q/KV source pair before the audit.
_fused_key maps either source key to qkv independently. If a checkpoint has q_linear.weight but lacks kv_linear.weight, Line 574 still marks qkv.weight as present. The strict audit can pass, but Line 606 then raises a raw KeyError for the absent sibling.
Require both source tensors before adding the fused key to present. Report an explicit missing-Q/KV-pair error before the write loop.

参考 llama.cpp 做的图融合(RoPE/其它点审计 + 实施)
已具备的融合(无需改)
本 PR:EBF attention 的 Q+KV 融合为单 qkv linear(llama 式)
转换期把 \q_linear/\kv_linear\ 打包成一份 \qkv.weight/bias\ [3HD,D],运行时一次 linear + chunk_three。每 attention 块从 2 次 matmul → 1 次(encoder 4 + segmenter 8 × nsteps):图节点 -1/块、GPU 提交 -1/块、x 每块只读一次。
数值等价性(关键)
行按 in-dim 量化块对齐,打包与拆分逐位一致 → Q8 逐位相同。实测:
fused_add_rms_norm:评估后不采用
llama 的该 op 是把 "norm 后接 residual 短路" 融合;本架构 EBF 残差是 \x + scale_half(ls(glu_ffn(rms(x))))\——norm 输出直接喂 multi-matmul 分支,残差边是纯 add,不适配该语义;移植 CPU-only 版也无收益(mainline ggml 也拒绝并入)。故跳过。
