  • Same 4.5 bpw as Q4_K.
  • Significantly reduces quantization error of LLaMA-3.1 (and also 3.0). E.g., 1.77% vs 2.9% for Q4_K_S for LLaMA-3.1-8B (with quantization error defined as PPL(Q)/PPL(fp16)-1)
  • Non-linear quantization similar to IQ4_XS and IQ4_NL with the following differences
    • Blocks of 16 instead of blocks of 32
    • Non-linear values in each block of 16 can be on the original non-linear grid, or can be on a shifted grid. This is indicated by one bit, so we need 16 extra bits per block of 256
    • So, we need 256 * 4 bits for the quants, 16 * 6 bits for the 6-bit block scales, 16 bits for the super-block float scale, and 16 bits for the shift bits, ending up with exactly 4.5 bpw
  • Performance is on par with Q4_K on AVX2 and CUDA, and slightly lower on ARM_NEON and Metal

* quantize/dequantize works
* CUDA dequantize works and one can run PPL calcs. I get
  PPL = 6.5258 for LlaMA-3.1-8B, which is 1.77% above fp16.
  In comparison, q4_K_S (same size) is 2.88% above fp16.
* TG on CUDA does not work. Johannes has changed the way i-quant dot
  products are done, so need to sort out what he had in mind
* iqk_mul_mat is not implemented.
For LLaMA-3.1-8B we get PP-512 = 182.6 t/s, TG-128 = 13.6 t/s,
so almost the same as q4_K_S.
For LLaMA-3.1-8B we get PP-512 = 203.1 t/s, TG-128 = 12.9 t/s
on the Ryzen-5975X.
For LLaMA-3.1-8B we get PP-512 = 60.7 t/s, TG-128 = 25.0 t/s
on the M2-Max. TG is on par with q4_K_S, PP is ~10% slower.
For LLaMA-3.1-8B we get PP-512 = 445 t/s, TG-128 = 46.3 t/s
on a 30-core M2-Max GPU. This is to be compared with (currently)
PP-512 = 460 t/s, TG-128 = 51 t/s for q4_K_S.

Initalizing RESERVED_NAME in is_reserved_name() is not thread
safe and leads to corrupted memory when used from multiple threads
as can be seen in the asan trace below. This fixes the initialization
to make it thread-safe.
