* vulkan: raise the hoisted row-id limit for mul_mat_id to 512 experts The expert-count shader (count_experts.comp) sizes its shared arrays with BLOCK_SIZE, which is 256. Because of that, row-id hoisting is switched off for any model with more than 256 experts, and every mul_mat_id workgroup has to rescan the whole ids tensor on its own. Qwen3.8-Flash-Next has 512 experts and was quietly running on that slow path. This change sizes the arrays with a separate MAX_EXPERTS constant (512), clears them in a loop instead of one entry per thread, and raises the matching limit on the host side. On Strix Halo at batch 2048 the expert matmuls drop from 12.5 to 9.5 ms (iq3_s) and from 14.0 to 7.5 ms (iq4_nl) per op, and prompt processing gets about 19 % faster at 8k tokens. test-backend-ops MUL_MAT_ID passes (891/891) with new 512-expert test cases. Assisted-by: Claude Fable 5.1 * vulkan: raise the hoisted row-id limit for mul_mat_id to 1024 experts Follow-up to review feedback: 1024 matches LLAMA_MAX_EXPERTS instead of stopping at 512. The three shared arrays in count_experts.comp grow to 3 * 1024 * 4 = 12 KiB, which fits the 16 KiB that Vulkan guarantees for maxComputeSharedMemorySize. Adds mul_mat_id test cases at 1024 experts alongside the existing 512 ones. test-backend-ops MUL_MAT_ID passes on Vulkan (RADV, Strix Halo, Radeon 8060S): 889/889.

Description
The main goal of llama.cpp is to enable LLM (and VLM) inference with minimal setup and state-of-the-art performance on
a wide range of hardware - locally and in the cloud.
- Plain C/C++ implementation without any dependencies
- Apple silicon is a first-class citizen - optimized via ARM NEON, Accelerate and Metal frameworks
- AVX, AVX2, AVX512 and AMX support for x86 architectures
- RVV, ZVFH, ZFH, ZICBOP and ZIHINTPAUSE support for RISC-V architectures
- 1.5-bit, 2-bit, 3-bit, 4-bit, 5-bit, 6-bit, and 8-bit integer quantization for faster inference and reduced memory use
- Custom CUDA kernels for running LLMs on NVIDIA GPUs (support for AMD GPUs via HIP and Moore Threads GPUs via MUSA)
- Vulkan and SYCL backend support
- CPU+GPU hybrid inference to partially accelerate models larger than the total VRAM capacity
The llama.cpp project is build on top of the ggml library.
