+## Running MUSA CI in a Docker Container
+
+Assuming `$PWD` is the root of the `llama.cpp` repository, follow these steps to set up and run MUSA CI in a Docker container:
+
+### 1. Create a local directory to store cached models, configuration files and venv:
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p $HOME/llama.cpp/ci-cache
+```
+
+### 2. Create a local directory to store CI run results:
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p $HOME/llama.cpp/ci-results
+```
+
+### 3. Start a Docker container and run the CI:
+
+```bash
+docker run --privileged -it \
+    -v $HOME/llama.cpp/ci-cache:/ci-cache \
+    -v $HOME/llama.cpp/ci-results:/ci-results \
+    -v $PWD:/ws -w /ws \
+    mthreads/musa:rc3.1.1-devel-ubuntu22.04
+```
+
+Inside the container, execute the following commands:
+
+```bash
+apt update -y && apt install -y bc cmake ccache git python3.10-venv time unzip wget
+git config --global --add safe.directory /ws
+GG_BUILD_MUSA=1 bash ./ci/run.sh /ci-results /ci-cache
+```
+
+This setup ensures that the CI runs within an isolated Docker environment while maintaining cached files and results across runs.

-We need to detect if the host is supplying the [NVIDIA driver libraries into the toolbox](https://github.com/containers/toolbox/blob/main/src/pkg/nvidia/nvidia.go).
+First, we need to detect if the host is supplying the [NVIDIA driver libraries into the toolbox](https://github.com/containers/toolbox/blob/main/src/pkg/nvidia/nvidia.go):

 **Explanation:**
+The host dose not supply the CUDA drivers, **install them now:**

- `nvidia-driver-libs` and `nvidia-driver-cuda-libs` contains necessary NVIDIA driver libraries required by CUDA,
-  on hosts with NVIDIA drivers installed the Fedora Container will supply the host libraries.

+#### Update the Toolbox RPM Database to include the Host-Supplied Libraries:
+
+Note: we do not actually install the libraries, we just update the DB so that the guest system knows they are supplied by the host.

+This provides GPU acceleration using a Moore Threads GPU. Make sure to have the [MUSA SDK](https://developer.mthreads.com/musa/musa-sdk) installed.

- Using `CMake`:
+#### Download directly from Moore Threads

-  ```bash
-  cmake -B build -DGGML_MUSA=ON
-  cmake --build build --config Release
+You may find the official downloads here: [Moore Threads developer site](https://developer.mthreads.com/sdk/download/musa).
+
+### Compilation
+
+```bash
+cmake -B build -DGGML_MUSA=ON
+cmake --build build --config Release
+```
+
+#### Override Compute Capability Specifications
+
+By default, all supported compute capabilities are enabled. To customize this behavior, you can specify the `MUSA_ARCHITECTURES` option in the CMake command:
+
+```bash
+cmake -B build -DGGML_MUSA=ON -DMUSA_ARCHITECTURES="21"
+cmake --build build --config Release
+```
+
+This configuration enables only compute capability `2.1` (MTT S80) during compilation, which can help reduce compilation time.
+
+#### Compilation options
+
+Most of the compilation options available for CUDA should also be available for MUSA, though they haven't been thoroughly tested yet.

-The environment variable [`MUSA_VISIBLE_DEVICES`](https://docs.mthreads.com/musa-sdk/musa-sdk-doc-online/programming_guide/Z%E9%99%84%E5%BD%95/) can be used to specify which GPU(s) will be used.

+You may set the [musa environmental variables](https://docs.mthreads.com/musa-sdk/musa-sdk-doc-online/programming_guide/Z%E9%99%84%E5%BD%95/) at runtime.

+# Use `MUSA_VISIBLE_DEVICES` to hide the first compute device.
+MUSA_VISIBLE_DEVICES="-0" ./build/bin/llama-server --model /srv/models/llama.gguf
+```
+
+### Unified Memory

 The environment variable `GGML_CUDA_ENABLE_UNIFIED_MEMORY=1` can be used to enable unified memory in Linux. This allows swapping to system RAM instead of crashing when the GPU VRAM is exhausted.

+## Arm® KleidiAI™
+KleidiAI is a library of optimized microkernels for AI workloads, specifically designed for Arm CPUs. These microkernels enhance performance and can be enabled for use by the CPU backend.
+
+To enable KleidiAI, go to the llama.cpp directory and build using CMake
+```bash
+cmake -B build -DGGML_CPU_KLEIDIAI=ON
+cmake --build build --config Release
+```
+You can verify that KleidiAI is being used by running
+```bash
+./build/bin/llama-cli -m PATH_TO_MODEL -p "What is a car?"
+```
+If KleidiAI is enabled, the ouput will contain a line similar to:
+```
+load_tensors: CPU_KLEIDIAI model buffer size =  3474.00 MiB
+```
+KleidiAI's microkernels implement optimized tensor operations using Arm CPU features such as dotprod, int8mm and SME. llama.cpp selects the most efficient kernel based on runtime CPU feature detection. However, on platforms that support SME, you must manually enable SME microkernels by setting the environment variable `GGML_KLEIDIAI_SME=1`.
+
+Depending on your build target, other higher priority backends may be enabled by default. To ensure the CPU backend is used, you must disable the higher priority backends either at compile time, e.g. -DGGML_METAL=OFF, or during run-time using the command line option `--device none`.

-### Android
-
-#### Build on Android device using Termux
-We found that build on Android device would bring better runtime performance, so we recommend to build on device.
-
-[Termux](https://github.com/termux/termux-app#installation) is a terminal app on Android device (no root required).
-
-Install tools in Termux:
-```
-apt update && apt upgrade -y
-apt install git make cmake
-```
-
-It's recommended to move your model inside the `~/` directory for best performance:
-```
-cd storage/downloads
-mv model.gguf ~/
-```
-
-#### Building the Project using Android NDK
-Obtain the [Android NDK](https://developer.android.com/ndk) and then build with CMake.
-
-Execute the following commands on your computer to avoid downloading the NDK to your mobile. Alternatively, you can also do this in Termux:
-
-```bash
-mkdir build-android
-cd build-android
-export NDK=/your_ndk_path
-cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=$NDK/build/cmake/android.toolchain.cmake -DANDROID_ABI=arm64-v8a -DANDROID_PLATFORM=android-23 -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS=-march=armv8.4a+dotprod ..
-make
-```
-
-Install [termux](https://github.com/termux/termux-app#installation) on your device and run `termux-setup-storage` to get access to your SD card (if Android 11+ then run the command twice).
-
-Finally, copy these built `llama` binaries and the model file to your device storage. Because the file permissions in the Android sdcard cannot be changed, you can copy the executable files to the `/data/data/com.termux/files/home/bin` path, and then execute the following commands in Termux to add executable permission:
-
-(Assumed that you have pushed the built executable files to the /sdcard/llama.cpp/bin path using `adb push`)
-```
-$cp -r /sdcard/llama.cpp/bin /data/data/com.termux/files/home/
-$cd /data/data/com.termux/files/home/bin
-$chmod +x ./*

-
-Download models and push them to `/sdcard/llama.cpp/`, then move it to `/data/data/com.termux/files/home/model/`

 ## Context Management

 During text generation, LLaMA models have a limited context size, which means they can only consider a certain number of tokens from the input and generated text. When the context fills up, the model resets internally, potentially losing some information from the beginning of the conversation or instructions. Context management options help maintain continuity and coherence in these situations.

 This way you can offload model layers to both local and remote devices.

+### Local cache
+
+The RPC server can use a local cache to store large tensors and avoid transferring them over the network.
+This can speed up model loading significantly, especially when using large models.
+To enable the cache, use the `-c` option:
+
+```bash
+$ bin/rpc-server -c
+```
+
+By default, the cache is stored in the `$HOME/.cache/llama.cpp/rpc` directory and can be controlled via the `LLAMA_CACHE` environment variable.
