Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds concurrent GPU root-LP solving, recursive RINS/RENS sub-MIPs, root heuristic management, and diversity-manager result handoff. It updates cancellation, status, worker initialization, and PDLP fallback handling. ChangesMIP solving
Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~90 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to This PR moves root-relaxation coordination into branch-and-bound, but the current head still has failure paths that can hang solves indefinitely, unsynchronized access to the original LP, and infeasible relaxations being passed downstream as usable. These issues can cause production hangs or invalid solver behavior, so the PR is not merge-ready until they are fixed or explicitly accepted.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
This store erases the cancellation signal from dual simplex.
The dual-simplex task sets gpu_root_concurrent_halt_ to 1 at line 2813 when it finishes. This store resets it to 0. The readiness wait at lines 2819-2823 can take arbitrarily long, so dual simplex frequently finishes first on easy root LPs. In that case the reset discards the stop request, and solve_concurrent_root_relaxation runs uncancelled for the full root_time_limit even though the winner is already known.
Do not reset the flag. Instead, check it and skip the GPU solve when it is already set.

Add a time-limit exit and reduce the work done in this wait loop.
Two problems exist in this loop.
check_b_b_preemption()is not a cheap predicate. It callspopulation.add_external_solutions_to_population()and can allocate the population. The loop runs it every 1 ms. The other wait loops in this same function sleep 100 ms.- The loop has no time-limit exit. The deterministic wait loop at lines 495-498 breaks on
timer.check_time_limit(). Without that check, the heuristics thread waits past the user time limit if branch-and-bound is slow to publish a root solution.

The root relaxation still has no dual-simplex completion signal, so both wait loops can spin indefinitely.
The dual-simplex task sets only gpu_root_concurrent_halt_ at Line 3055. Both wait loops test root_concurrent_halt_, which is a different atomic. No code sets root_concurrent_halt_ on dual-simplex completion.
Two hang paths follow.
-
This loop (Lines 3111-3112) exits only when
root_crossover_solution_set_becomes true orroot_concurrent_halt_becomes non-zero. When the GPU root solve yields no usable result, neither happens:solve_concurrent_root_relaxationreturnsusable == falseforNumericalError,ConcurrentLimit, or a dimension mismatch.- The
catchblock at Lines 3104-3106 logs and continues. root_time_limitis 0 when the time budget is already spent (Lines 3074-3077).
In each case
set_root_relaxation_solutionis never called, soroot_crossover_solution_set_stays false. The thread then spins until the externalsettings_.concurrent_haltis set. Dual simplex finishing does not release it, so its finished root is never consumed. -
The readiness loop at Lines 3061-3062 has the same exit condition. If
notify_concurrent_root_problem_ready()is never called, it spins forever.cpp/src/mip_heuristics/diversity/diversity_manager.cureturns at Line 517 on theCUOPT_DISABLE_GPU_HEURISTICS=1path, before reaching thenotify_concurrent_root_problem_ready()call at Line 566, whileenable_concurrent_lp_root_solve()is still true in opportunistic mode.
Line 3070 compounds the first path. gpu_root_concurrent_halt_.store(0, ...) discards the stop request that dual simplex already published at Line 3055. On easy root LPs dual simplex often finishes before the readiness wait completes, so the GPU solve then runs uncancelled for the full root_time_limit.
Add a dedicated dual-simplex completion atomic. Set it in the task at Line 3055. Observe it in both wait loops. Check it at Line 3067 and skip the GPU solve instead of resetting the halt flag.
As per path instructions: "Apply 'CUDA / GPU — cuOpt idioms'" and verify root-LP coordination for races, deadlocks, and cancellation.

Introduce a dedicated atomic dual-simplex completion flag alongside
gpu_root_concurrent_halt_ and publish it when the dual-simplex root task
finishes. Have both root readiness and crossover wait loops observe this flag,
check it before launching GPU root solving, skip the GPU solve when dual simplex
has completed, and stop resetting gpu_root_concurrent_halt_ so its cancellation
signal is preserved.

Reject infeasibility results before publishing the root relaxation.
When PDLP returns PrimalInfeasible or DualInfeasible with dimensioned vectors, the current predicate marks it as usable. B&B then stages it for LP-guided heuristics and passes it to crossover. The fallback path in diversity_manager.cu disables LP guidance for both statuses.

On current main, the diversity manager launches a concurrent GPU root LP (PDLP +
barrier). When that solve returns a usable relaxation, it starts the
LP-guided primal heuristics. In parallel, B&B runs dual simplex and, once
the diversity manager hands over the PDLP/barrier point, launches
crossover so it can build a basis. Dual simplex is racing PDLP/barrier +
crossover. If dual simplex finishes first, it stages its solution into the
diversity manager, which then starts the heuristics from that simplex root
instead of waiting for PDLP/barrier. The heuristics never wait for
crossover.
This PR moves the entire root-relaxation orchestration into B&B:
solve_root_relaxationlaunches dual simplex on the CPU and PDLP/barrieron the GPU. As soon as either produces a usable relaxation, that solution
is published to the diversity manager so heuristics can start. Crossover
still runs in B&B only, to obtain a basis for tree search; it is not on
the heuristic wait path. The diversity manager no longer solves the root
LP. It notifies B&B that the GPU problem is ready, then waits for the
first available solution from dual simplex or PDLP/barrier.
Motivation:
The motivation is to put the GPU root LP where B&B can use it, so we can
later:
rather than waiting for dual simplex or crossover to produce a basis.
against barrier, then run a single crossover on whichever finishes
first.
Benchmark:
1x NVIDIA B200, 1x Intel Xeon Platinum 8570 112C/224T (20 threads), 5min
(single run)
Overall, this is roughly neutral on a single 5-minute run: the same number
of feasible solutions, one additional optimal, a small decrease in
relative MIP gap (~1.5% mean, ~2.9% shifted geomean) and nodes (~3.5%
mean), with a ~5% increase in primal integral.
Note that supportcase6 proved optimality on this branch and then hit a
CUDA OOM before the summary line; it is counted as optimal from the
"Optimal solution found" log line. ns1952667 and rail01 lost a feasible
solution; bab2 and neos-5104907-jarama gained one.
