What is the issue?

I have read every issue and commit related to Nvlink and I seem to be running in circles.

  • Is there a way to activate --split-mode=row and get the benefits of NVLink?
  • What about --tensor_split?
  • Are there any other options or features that leverage NVLink?

I have found split-mode in this file:
ff7c9060ec/llm/ext_server/server.cpp (L2345-L2367)

OS

Linux

GPU

Nvidia

CPU

Intel

Ollama version

0.3.2

@dhiltgen commented on GitHub (Aug 2, 2024):

We automatically calculate the tensor split based on available VRAM on the GPUs, however we do not currently expose a way to change the split mode, and always use layer mode.
