Overlap cmdbuffer creation and cmdbuffer execution in Vulkan backend by submitting smaller cmdbuffers early. (#9118)

mtavenrath · web-flow · commit daa9623ab051 · 2024-09-08T21:43:48.000+02:00
* Overlap cmdbuffer creation and cmdbuffer execution in Vulkan backend by submitting smaller cmdbuffers early.

* fix compile issues

* Fix issues where the last submit wasn't executed or handled properly.

* remove trailing whitespace

* Repair GGML_VULKAN_CHECK_RESULTS

* Increase submit counter only if actual work has been submitted and increase submit count to 100.

* Fix some nodes are not checked with GGML_VULKAN_CHECK_RESULTS enabled.
