This PR introduces performance optimizations for some RISC-V kernels and expands hardware support by enabling half-precision extensions.
Using the
perfprofiler, I identified significant performance bottlenecks caused by pipeline stalls. The following 128-bit RVV kernels have been rewritten to resolve these issues:ggml_vec_dot_q4_K_q8_Kggml_vec_dot_q6_K_q8_KTo facilitate intermediate results using half-precision floats, this PR enables the
zvfhextension and adds implementations for several performance-critical kernels.
