llamafile : ppc64le GEMV forwarding for FP32. (#12594)
This patch enables usage of MMA when one of the
dimensions of the matrix(ie either M or N) is 1. This
is useful in case of token generation where N < 2.
The concept of 'GEMV Forwarding' is used where when one
of the matrix has a single row/column, the elements are
broadcasted, instead of using packing routine to prepack
the matrix elements.
This change results in 5% - 15% improvement in total
speed(ie all tokens/total time), across various batch
sizes. This is in comparision with the corresponding
dot product implementation.
The patch is tested with FP32 models of Meta-Lllama-3-8B,
Mistral-7B, Llama-2-7B-chat-hf on a IBM POWER10 machine.
