CUDA: Handle compute type for NVFP4 on cublass path (#29173)
* CUDA: Handle compute type for NVFP4 on cublass path
Signed-off-by: ynankani <ynankani@nvidia.com>
* Use BF16 compute type for quantized models if HW allows
Signed-off-by: ynankani <ynankani@nvidia.com>
* Set acc prec to bf16 for nvfp4 as it needs atleast bf16 range
Signed-off-by: ynankani <ynankani@nvidia.com>
* Update ggml/src/ggml-cuda/ggml-cuda.cu
Co-authored-by: Johannes Gäßler <johannesg@5d6.de>
* preserve op_params for per-expert matmul
