📖 Overview

Super-llama.cpp Enterprise is an experimental fork of llama.cpp that adds enterprise-oriented features inspired by AirLLM-style memory efficiency concepts.

Note

What's New vs. Forked:

• Inherited from llama.cpp: Core inference engine, model loading, quantization, GGML backend (~7,800+ commits)
• New in this fork: Enterprise features in src/llama-*.cpp files (Multi-GPU, Prometheus, Rate Limiting, RBAC, etc.) - approximately 8,000 lines of new code across 10 new source files

Tip

💡 Memory efficiency features are enabled by default in Super-llama.cpp. Use --no-dynamic-layers, --no-paged-kv, --no-async-prefetch to disable them. For vanilla llama.cpp behavior, use the original llama.cpp.

🧠 Core Features

1️⃣ Dynamic Layer Scheduler

┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓
┃  GPU Memory ████████████░░░░ 75%  →  Layer Migration       ┃
┃  Layer 12: GPU → CPU (256MB freed)                         ┃
┃  Layer 13: GPU → CPU (256MB freed)                         ┃
┃  GPU Memory ████████░░░░░░░░ 50%  →  Stable ✓              ┃
┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛

🔧 Capabilities (Click to expand)

• ✅ Real-time memory telemetry via ggml_backend_dev_memory() API
• ✅ LRU-based layer eviction when GPU memory is under pressure
• ✅ Full tensor migration using ggml_backend_tensor_get/set
• ✅ Batch migration - Migrate multiple layers at once
• ✅ Pinned memory - Page-locked memory (VirtualLock/mlock) - performance gains TBD
• ✅ Hysteresis control - Dual thresholds prevent thrashing
• ✅ Layer pinning - Keep critical layers always on GPU
• ✅ Graceful degradation - Continue on CPU when GPU fails

⌨️ CLI Flags

# Dynamic layers enabled by default, use --no-dynamic-layers to disable
--pin-layers 0,1,31           # Pin specific layers to GPU
--mem-pressure 0.85           # Set high threshold (start evicting)
--mem-pressure-low 0.70       # Set low threshold (stop evicting)

2️⃣ Paged KV Cache

tests/test-integration.cpp	End-to-end inference tests	GGUF model file
tests/test-load.cpp	Multi-client stress testing	GGUF model file
scripts/benchmark-enterprise.py	Performance profiling	GGUF model, Python 3.8+

Integration Tests cover:

• Model loading performance
• Context creation with enterprise features
• Basic inference and generation
• KV cache state save/load
• Memory pressure handling

Load Tests include:

• Concurrent client simulation
• Variable request sizes
• Rate limiting verification
• SLA compliance tracking (P50/P95/P99)

Note

Test Coverage: Unit tests use mock implementations to verify logic without requiring GPU hardware. Integration, benchmark, and load tests require a GGUF model file and optionally GPU hardware.

📋 Bug Fix #7 Details: Missing C++ Standard Headers

This fix addresses C++ header files that were missing from various source files, causing compilation errors on MSVC (Visual Studio 2019).

What Happened

When you use types like std::map, std::optional, std::array, or functions like std::cout, you need to include the specific header that defines them. GCC and Clang compilers are often more lenient because their standard library headers tend to include other headers transitively (as implementation details). MSVC is stricter and requires explicit includes.

Headers Added

Header	What It Provides	Where It Was Missing
<map>	std::map container	llama-stream-pipeline.h
<optional>	std::optional wrapper	llama-security.h
<array>	std::array container	llama-enterprise.h
<algorithm>	std::min, std::max, etc.	llama-enterprise.h
<utility>	std::move, std::pair	llama-enterprise.h
<iostream>	std::cout, std::cerr	llama-enterprise.cpp

Why MSVC Is Stricter

// This might compile on GCC/Clang but fails on MSVC:
#include <vector>  // vector might internally include <algorithm> on GCC
std::vector<int> v = {3, 1, 2};
std::sort(v.begin(), v.end());  // ERROR on MSVC: 'sort' not found

// Correct way (works everywhere):
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>  // Explicitly include what you use
std::vector<int> v = {3, 1, 2};
std::sort(v.begin(), v.end());  // OK

Best Practice

Always explicitly include every standard library header you use, even if it compiles without it on your platform. This ensures cross-platform compatibility.
