ivarflakstad 7c2449f623 Metal: Improved reduce and softmax (#1819)
* Improve reduce perf and add contiguous impl

* Improve arg reduce and add contiguous impl

* Improve softmax kernel. 33%-39% higher thrpt

* fmt

* Fixed all bugs. Improved code quality. Added tests.

* Stash for debugging

* Stash for debugging 2

* Fixing argmax bug and improve performance

* Fix test and add is_valid_simgroup_reduce_type trait

* Online softmax. Improved threadgroup reduce. Tidying up a bit.

* Remove redundant threadgroup_barrier from arg reduce

* Mostly tidying up. Some improvements

* Simplify indexed struct

* tidying

* Reuse operation operator instead of passing it in as a parameter

* Fix how operators are applied to indexed<vec<T,N>>

* Vectorized load. Scalar block reduce. Hitting max throughput for f32 reduce.

* Vectorized load for online softmax. Involves a reinterpret_cast of src which may be suboptimal.

* Metal as_type casting vec<bfloat, N> -> vec<float, N/2> for simd and fast math

* Use constant for input instead of const device. Fix strided reduce.

* Use contiguous reduce in tests

* Rename finalize -> to_scalar

* Support integer types max/min (switch with trait-inferred impl later)

* Was worried I was skipping work -> shuffling the 1D test cases

* Add build.rs to avoid metal kernel jit compile overhead

* Improve build. Extract utils

* Compile metal kernels for both macos and ios

* Fixed over xmas and then forgot about it

* Add calculate_reduce_threads util

* Remove old reduce.metal

* Improve f16/bf16 softmax precision by accumulating in f32

* Remove build.rs (for now)

* Move softmax bench to candle-nn

* Remove redundant thread calc util fn

* Use uint over ushort for indices etc

* Use fast exp in MDReduceOp

* Remove nested metal define for softmax

* Fix some clippy lint.
