Description

Moves the barrier solver's Ruiz equilibration to the GPU and removes redundant copies and
conversions of A and Q between scaling and KKT assembly.

GPU Ruiz equilibration. Adds scaling_ruiz_gpu (cpp/src/dual_simplex/scaling_gpu.cu), a
device port of scaling()'s Ruiz branch, used for the barrier's SOCP/QP path. It mirrors the
CPU implementation step for step: the loop contains only abs/max/sqrt/*/, no
summations, so results are bit-identical to the CPU path. Selected by
gpu_ruiz_nnz_threshold (default 500000 — see note below). The CPU scaling() was also
changed to compute row inf-norms by scatter-max directly off CSC, dropping two host CSR builds
of A.

Fewer host to device round trips. A and A^T are now uploaded and converted once per solve
rather than rebuilt per consumer:

  • device CSC -> CSR replaced (merge sort -> scatter + segmented sort), reused for a new on-device
    transpose, so the augmented path no longer builds and uploads a host A^T;
  • cusparse_view_ builds its CSR on device and borrows device_A_csc_/device_AT_csc_ instead
    of owning a second CSR + CSC-transpose; the Q view likewise borrows device_Q_csc_ (valid
    because optimization_problem_t stores only the symmetrized H = Q + Q^T, so CSC(Q) is CSR(Q));
  • on the SOCP path the scaled A/Q stay resident: scaling_ruiz_gpu hands them to the barrier
    via lp_problem_t::device_A/device_Q instead of downloading and immediately re-uploading;
  • the coefficient-range reduction used for logging runs on device instead of scanning the
    just-downloaded host array.

Device memory on the ADAT path. When there are no dense columns AD == A, so device_A and
d_original_A_values are no longer allocated -- the SpGEMM's left operand points at
device_AT_csc_ (already CSR(A)) and form_adat restores unscaled values from
device_A_csc_.x. device_AD is seeded device-to-device, dropping the host AD = lp.A copy.
This takes A's device footprint on that path from roughly 60·nnz to 40·nnz, which matters when
the barrier runs concurrently with PDLP on large LPs. initialize_cusparse_data now takes A's
CSR pieces rather than a matrix so either source can be passed; multiply_kernels' A/DAT
parameters were dead (it uses only the descriptors) and are removed.

Test results: 14% acceleration on SOCP benchmark, no regression on QP benchmarks.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The barrier solver now accepts device A and Q matrices separately and reuses device sparse data in its cuSPARSE setup. The change adds GPU Ruiz scaling with threshold-based solver selection, updates CPU row-norm calculation, and adds sparse-matrix and scaling tests.

Changes

Barrier sparse data and scaling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Device sparse operations and validation
cpp/src/barrier/device_sparse_matrix.cuh, cpp/tests/dual_simplex/unit_tests/device_sparse_matrix_test.cu, cpp/tests/internal/CMakeLists.txt
Device CSC matrices support copying, transposition, and CSC-to-CSR conversion. Tests cover unsorted input, empty rows and matrices, a dense column, and a single entry.
cuSPARSE device views
cpp/src/barrier/cusparse_view.cu, cpp/src/barrier/cusparse_view.hpp, cpp/src/barrier/sparse_matrix_kernels.cuh
The host CSC constructor derives CSR data on the device. A new constructor borrows device CSC matrices, and descriptor initialization accepts explicit CSR metadata and arrays.
Barrier device-matrix reuse
cpp/src/barrier/barrier.hpp, cpp/src/barrier/barrier.cu
The barrier solver stores separate device A and Q pointers. Iteration data adopts these pointers and reuses device A and its transpose for matrix and ADAT setup.
GPU Ruiz scaling and solver wiring
cpp/src/barrier/scaling_gpu.cu, cpp/src/barrier/scaling_gpu.cuh, cpp/src/barrier/CMakeLists.txt, cpp/src/dual_simplex/solve.cpp
GPU Ruiz scaling applies bound pre-scaling and iterative scaling. The solver selects GPU scaling based on the configured nonzero threshold and passes optional device A and Q to the barrier solver.
CPU scaling and selection settings
cpp/src/dual_simplex/scaling.cpp, cpp/src/dual_simplex/simplex_solver_settings.hpp
CPU Ruiz row norms are computed from CSC entries. The solver settings add a GPU Ruiz nonzero threshold with a default of 500000.
Scaling validation
cpp/tests/socp/scaling_test.cu, cpp/tests/internal/CMakeLists.txt
Tests compare CPU and GPU scaling results and check that pre-scaling reduces bound-magnitude spread.

Shared reduction operations

Layer / File(s) Summary
Reduction functor reuse
cpp/src/utilities/reduce_ops.cuh, cpp/src/mip_heuristics/mip_scaling_strategy.cu
A shared header defines absolute-value, maximum, and minimum reduction functors. MIP scaling uses aliases to these functors.

Encapsulate gpu_ruiz_nnz_threshold. The new mutable data member violates the C++ guidance to keep data members private. Add a public getter and configuration setter, store the value privately, and update the comparison in cpp/src/dual_simplex/solve.cpp to use the getter.

Check all CUB return codes.

cub::DeviceScan::ExclusiveSum and cub::DeviceSegmentedSort::SortPairs return cudaError_t. The current code discards all four results. If sizing or execution fails, conversion continues without reporting the error and may use invalid offsets or incomplete sorted output. cudaPeekAtLastError() does not check these return values.

Wrap all four calls in RAFT_CUDA_TRY.

🛡️ Proposed fix
-  cub::DeviceScan::ExclusiveSum(
-    nullptr, scan_bytes, row_counts.data(), out_offsets, m, stream.get());
+  RAFT_CUDA_TRY(cub::DeviceScan::ExclusiveSum(
+    nullptr, scan_bytes, row_counts.data(), out_offsets, m, stream.get()));
   scan_tmp.resize(scan_bytes, stream);

+  RAFT_CUDA_TRY(cub::DeviceScan::ExclusiveSum(
+    scan_tmp.data(), scan_bytes, row_counts.data(), out_offsets, m, stream.get()));

Apply the same wrapping to both cub::DeviceSegmentedSort::SortPairs calls.

Keep nz_max equal to col_start[n] before conversion. to_compressed_row and transpose pass nz_max to csc_to_csr_on_device, which computes row counts from col_start but uses nz for the final offset and segmented sort. The (rows, cols, nz) constructor does not initialize col_start, and resize_to_nnz can change nz_max without changing col_start. Therefore, nz_max > col_start[n] can make the conversion read and sort uninitialized tail entries, producing invalid CSR or transpose arrays.

Enforce nz_max == col_start[n] before either conversion. Do not use nz_max as a capacity when populating a matrix that reaches these entrypoints; alternatively, pass the populated terminal offset as nz and size the output arrays from that value.

Check both CUB reduction results.

cub::DeviceSegmentedReduce::Reduce returns cudaError_t. The code ignores both results. If sizing or execution fails, scaling continues with invalid reduction output.

Wrap both calls with RAFT_CUDA_TRY or an equivalent RAFT macro.

Proposed fix
-  cub::DeviceSegmentedReduce::Reduce(nullptr,
+  RAFT_CUDA_TRY(cub::DeviceSegmentedReduce::Reduce(nullptr,
                                      bytes,
                                      abs_it,
                                      out,
                                      num_segments,
                                      begin_offsets,
                                      end_offsets,
                                      cuopt::max_op_t<f_t>{},
                                      f_t(0),
-                                     stream);
+                                     stream));
...
-  cub::DeviceSegmentedReduce::Reduce(temp_storage.data(),
+  RAFT_CUDA_TRY(cub::DeviceSegmentedReduce::Reduce(temp_storage.data(),
                                      bytes,
                                      abs_it,

main added a bound-magnitude column pre-scaling step to scaling() that
scaling_ruiz_gpu() did not have, so the two paths diverged on exactly the
problems the step targets: solve.cpp selects the GPU path above
gpu_ruiz_nnz_threshold, and wide bound ranges are most common on large
problems.

Mirror the step on the GPU. The per-column work maps directly onto
thrust::for_each; only the geometric mean differs, using a log-sum
reduction over the bound magnitudes instead of the CPU's running scalar,
since logs keep magnitudes up to 1e11 from overflowing a direct product.
Also refresh the row inf-norms after pre-scaling, as on the CPU side.

Add cpp/tests/socp/scaling_test.cu checking the two paths against each
other. Nothing exercised them together before, since solve.cpp picks
between them by problem size.

it would be good to avoid the use of shared_ptrs. These are basically globals. Please see if you can convert the code to using unique_ptrs instead.

Replaced shared_ptr with unique_ptr, wrapped in a scaled_device_matrices_t struct
(barrier.hpp) so the deletion is compiled in barrier.cu where the matrix type is complete.

112-146: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add an SOCP parity case that covers the cone branch and device_A.

make_wide_bound_qp has no second-order cones. Because of this, scaling_ruiz_gpu never runs the per-cone segmented_abs_max over the thrust::make_permutation_iterator offsets. It also never runs the thrust::gather into c.data() + cone_start, and it never takes the branch that returns device_A with empty host A.x. These are the parts of the port that differ most from the CPU loops. The test also never checks device_A or device_Q.

Add a small problem with at least two cones of different dimension. Compare column_scaling, row_scaling, and the bounds with the CPU results. Download device_A->x and compare it with cpu_scaled.A.x. Also check that gpu_scaled.A.x is empty. In addition, compare device_Q values with cpu_scaled.Q.x in the existing QP case.

As per path instructions, focus on "Numerical correctness validation" and "Edge cases".

Are these sort's necessary? When performing a CSC -> CSR conversion on the CPU we do not need to sort. The algorithm provides a natural sort, using a bucket sort.

Sorting can be expensive. It's best to avoid it when computing transposes.

It is needed for GPU code since we parallelize the scatter and the order need to be rebuilt within each row. The sorting is within each row and the segmented operation can also utilize parallel sort within each row, so it may not be a burden in this case.

Ok. It might be worth checking if fast GPU implementations of a compressed sparse transpose need this sort. If you can do prefix sum it seems like you can avoid this. But fine to merge as is.

Just found cusparse already has API for CSR and CSC transformation, so I remove the hand-crafted csc to csr transformation.
