1 of 4 toward a CUDA-free client library (#1802, #1803, #1804 stack on this one).

Why

Talking to a remote cuopt_grpc_server currently requires the full GPU stack. pip install cuopt pulls cudf, cupy-cuda13x[ctk], rmm, pylibraft, numba-cuda, scipy, pandas and libcuopt (which itself pulls cuda-toolkit) — GB-scale, onto a machine whose only job is to serialize protobuf over a socket.

The motivating consumer is the MCP server in #1701: it imports exactly Client, TlsConfig, DataModel, Read, SolverSettingsno Solve — yet installs all of the above.

That coupling is mostly accidental. The gRPC client sources are already GPU-free; what ties them to CUDA is that the host-side implementations they need are compiled into .cu translation units, so anything wanting them must link the CUDA library. This PR only separates those, so #1804 can place them in a cuopt_client library whose NEEDED list has no CUDA, rmm or raft.

What

Several classes are mostly host code but live entirely in .cu files, so anything needing their host-side members has to link the CUDA library. This separates them.

File Size CUDA-touching lines
math_optimization/solver_settings.cu.cpp + _gpu.cu 713 5
mip_heuristics/solver_settings.cu.cu + .cpp 58 3
pdlp/solution_conversion.cu → + solution_conversion_cpu.cpp 225 23

math_optimization/solver_settings.cu is the clearest case — 713 lines of parameter handling with 5 lines that touch a stream.

The rule each split follows

Host code moves to the .cpp; members taking an rmm::cuda_stream_view or returning a device_uvector stay in the .cu; every member moved out of the original TU is instantiated explicitly, because template class in the .cpp can only emit members whose definitions it can still see.

Two traps this pattern sets — both hit during development

1. A moved member with no explicit instantiation silently disappears. An earlier revision of this PR moved the 19-argument solver_settings_t::set_pdlp_warm_start_data into solver_settings_gpu.cu but instantiated only its five neighbours. The symbol vanished from libcuopt.so. It is the overload the Cython layer binds to, so every conda-python-tests config, docs-build and wheel-tests-cuopt-server failed while every C++ job passed. There is no compile or link error locally — the C++ build does not use that overload.

The check that catches this class of bug in one shot:

nm -D --defined-only libcuopt.so | awk '{print $3}' | sort -u > new.txt
comm -23 main.txt new.txt | c++filt     # anything here is a lost export

2. Guarded instantiations can compile to nothing. The instantiations sit behind MIP_INSTANTIATE_* / PDLP_INSTANTIATE_*, so each new file must include mip_heuristics/mip_constants.hpp. Without it the guards evaluate false and the TU compiles to zero symbols — no error, just a link failure much later. nm --defined-only on the object is how you spot it.

Risk

Moderate, not low — see above. The moved definitions are byte-identical and no build targets change here, so behaviour is unaffected; the risk is entirely in symbol emission, which the exported-symbol diff now covers.

Testing

  • Full build + all 126 test binaries: 0 errors
  • Exported symbols diffed against main: no losses
  • ctest: 119/125. The 6 failures are missing downloaded datasets (ci/test_cpp.sh fetches them; I did not locally) — unmodified main fails the identical six in a clean worktree.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Changes

The PR separates host-only and CUDA-specific solver settings and solution conversion implementations. It updates CMake source lists, adds the adaptive barrier regularization parameter, and extracts testable remote callback eligibility logic.

CPU and GPU solver settings

Layer / File(s) Summary
Host and device solver settings
cpp/src/math_optimization/..., cpp/src/mip_heuristics/..., cpp/tests/linear_programming/unit_tests/solver_settings_test.cu
Host-side MIP settings methods move to solver_settings.cpp. CUDA-facing PDLP and MIP methods move to solver_settings_gpu.cu. Tests cover both numeric specializations, initial solutions, warm-start data, callbacks, and tolerances.
CPU solution conversion
cpp/src/pdlp/..., cpp/tests/linear_programming/unit_tests/solution_interface_test.cu
CPU LP and MIP conversion methods move to solution_conversion_cpu.cpp. Tests validate solution vectors, return metadata, and warm-start data.
Remote callback eligibility
cpp/src/grpc/client/..., cpp/tests/linear_programming/grpc/grpc_client_test.cpp
Semi-continuous callback detection moves into a namespace-level helper. Tests cover callback and variable-type combinations.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c9200

The host/device split changes where template specializations are emitted, and an unconditional test reference can cause supported configurations to fail at link time when that specialization is disabled. The affected reference should be guarded or explicitly accepted before merging.

Several classes are mostly host code but live entirely in .cu files, which means
anything needing their host-side members has to link the CUDA library. This
separates them so the host halves compile as plain C++.

  math_optimization/solver_settings.cu -> .cpp + _gpu.cu   (713 lines, 5 CUDA)
  mip_heuristics/solver_settings.cu    -> .cu  + .cpp      (58 lines, 3 CUDA)
  pdlp/solution_conversion.cu          -> + solution_conversion_cpu.cpp

Each split follows one rule: host code moves to the .cpp, members taking an
rmm::cuda_stream_view or returning a device_uvector stay in the .cu, and the
moved members are instantiated explicitly per-member rather than via
`template class`. The distinction matters -- `template class` in the .cpp would
emit device ctors/dtors for members the host file cannot construct.

The explicit instantiations are guarded on MIP_INSTANTIATE_* / PDLP_INSTANTIATE_*,
so each new file includes mip_heuristics/mip_constants.hpp. Without it the guards
evaluate false and the translation unit silently compiles to zero symbols.

Also replaces thrust::count with std::count in solve_remote.cpp; it operates on
a host vector, so thrust was gratuitous.

No behaviour change: every moved definition is byte-identical, and all files
still build into libcuopt exactly as before.

…solution-conversion split

Addresses the three CodeRabbit review comments on #1801 that had no C++
regression coverage: the semi-continuous callback-disabling predicate in
solve_mip_remote() (extracted into should_disable_semi_continuous_callbacks()
so it's testable without a live gRPC connection), the solver_settings_t
wrapper members moved into solver_settings_gpu.cu (set_initial_pdlp_*,
set_pdlp_warm_start_data, add_initial_mip_solution -- previously only
reachable through Cython, which is how the missing-instantiation bug in this
PR went unnoticed by C++ tests), and the CPU conversion methods in
solution_conversion_cpu.cpp (extended to assert every field, including the
warm-start-populated branch the prior tests never exercised).

The comma inside <int, double> is not inside real parentheses, so the
preprocessor parses it as a third macro argument -- EXPECT_DOUBLE_EQ only
takes two. Same class of gotcha the file already documents for
pdlp_solver_mode_t a few lines up. Fixed by hoisting the template
instantiation to a local before the macro call, all 4 conda-cpp-build
matrix jobs failed on this in CI.

…antiated

CI (conda-cpp-build, arm64) failed with undefined references to
solver_settings_t<int, float>::* -- CUOPT_INSTANTIATE_FLOAT is hardcoded to
0 in cpp/include/cuopt/mathematical_optimization/constants.h, so nothing
gated by MIP_INSTANTIATE_FLOAT is ever compiled into libcuopt, on any
target. CodeRabbit's premise (float is instantiated alongside double) does
not hold for this codebase; there is no float coverage to add. Removes the
three float-typed SolverSettingsWrapperTest cases added in a prior commit.

Whats the rationale for this refactoring?

So this is work towards seperating cuopt grpc client that is being part of libcuopt into it's own library so it would reduce dependency on what it would need to run in non gpu machine, there are 3 other PRs which are inline along with this.

Whats the rationale for this refactoring?

Fair question — the description covered the mechanics but never stated the goal.

This is 1 of 4 toward a CUDA-free client library (#1802, #1803, #1804 stack on it).

Today, talking to a remote cuopt_grpc_server requires the full GPU stack. pip install cuopt pulls cudf, cupy-cuda13x[ctk], rmm, pylibraft, numba-cuda, scipy, pandas and libcuopt (which itself pulls cuda-toolkit) — GB-scale, on a machine whose only job is to serialize protobuf over a socket.

The motivating consumer is the MCP server in #1701: it imports exactly Client, TlsConfig, DataModel, Read, SolverSettingsno Solve — yet installs all of the above.

That coupling turns out to be mostly accidental. The gRPC client sources are already GPU-free; what ties them to CUDA is that the host-side implementations they need are compiled into .cu translation units, so anything wanting them must link the CUDA library. This PR does nothing but separate those, so that #1804 can put them in a cuopt_client library with no CUDA in NEEDED.

No behaviour change here: every moved definition is byte-identical and all files still build into libcuopt exactly as before. The end state is libcuopt_client.so needing only gRPC, protobuf, abseil and rapids_logger.


On the other comment — you're right, and it was worse than "too specific": grpc_client.hpp is the client's public header, and that predicate is an implementation detail of solve_remote.cpp that I only lifted there so a unit test could reach it. Wrong home.

Moved it to a new solve_remote_impl.hpp (mirroring the existing cython_grpc_client_impl.hpp) and renamed it should_disable_unsupported as you suggested, documenting that semi-continuous + callbacks is currently the only rule and that further rules belong in that predicate rather than as new branches at the call site.

…public header

grpc_client.hpp is the gRPC client's public interface, but
should_disable_semi_continuous_callbacks is an implementation detail of
solve_remote.cpp -- it only appeared there so a unit test could reach it without
standing up a live connection. Wrong home.

Moved to solve_remote_impl.hpp, mirroring the existing cython_grpc_client_impl.hpp,
and renamed to should_disable_unsupported per review: the concern is "is this
feature combination something the server cannot honour", not specifically
semi-continuous. Documented that semi-continuous + MIP callbacks is currently the
only such rule, and that further rules belong inside the predicate rather than as
new branches at the call site.

No behaviour change.

@rg20 @tmckayus @chris-maes — ready for another look. Both review points are addressed and the branch is merged up to current main (5045ca7d).

Since the last review:

should_disable_semi_continuous_callbacks in the public header moved to solve_remote_impl.hpp (mirrors the existing cython_grpc_client_impl.hpp) and renamed should_disable_unsupported
"What's the rationale for this refactoring?" answered in the thread above, and a ## Why section added to the PR description so it is not buried in comments

On the placement point — it was worse than "too specific". grpc_client.hpp is the client's public interface, and that predicate is an implementation detail of solve_remote.cpp that I had only lifted there so a unit test could reach it. Test convenience leaking into a public header. The doc comment now also records that semi-continuous + MIP callbacks is the only rule today, and that further rules belong inside the predicate rather than as new branches at the call site.

Short version of the rationale, for anyone joining here: this is 1 of 4 toward a CUDA-free cuopt_client library, so a remote client (the MCP server in #1701 is the concrete consumer) can talk to cuopt_grpc_server without installing cudf/cupy/rmm/pylibraft. That MCP server imports only Client, TlsConfig, DataModel, Read, SolverSettings — no Solve — yet pulls the whole CUDA stack today. This PR is a pure prerequisite: every moved definition is byte-identical and everything still builds into libcuopt exactly as before.

Worth knowing while reviewing: the risk in this PR is not behaviour, it is symbol emission. A member moved out of a translation unit with no matching explicit instantiation silently disappears — no compile or link error locally, because the C++ build does not exercise the Cython-facing overloads. That bit this PR once (set_pdlp_warm_start_data, which took down every Python job while all C++ jobs passed). The check that catches the whole class in one shot:

nm -D --defined-only libcuopt.so | awk '{print $3}' | sort -u > new.txt
comm -23 main.txt new.txt | c++filt     # anything listed is a lost export

I run this against main before each push; it is currently clean. Whether it belongs in CI is worth your opinion — I have kept it out of this PR to avoid widening the diff, but five separate missing-instantiation bugs happened across this stack and only one was caught by anything other than a human or CI.

Status: merged to main (5045ca7d), build + all 126 test binaries clean, CI green so far (18 pass / 8 pending / 0 fail). #1802#1804 stack on this one and will each need the same merge treatment once it lands.

You should actually pass in the problem and settings as arguments here

Done in 7de9056 — it now takes both objects directly:

template <typename i_t, typename f_t>
bool should_disable_unsupported(const cpu_optimization_problem_t<i_t, f_t>& problem,
                                const mip_solver_settings_t<i_t, f_t>& settings);

Call site drops the two pre-extraction lines, and get_variable_types_host() (a full vector copy) now happens inside the predicate after the callback check, so it is skipped when no callbacks are registered. Tests rebuilt around real problem/settings objects going through set_mip_callback(); all 5 pass.

Per review, the predicate now takes cpu_optimization_problem_t and
mip_solver_settings_t directly instead of a pre-extracted var_types vector and a
has_callbacks bool.

This is what makes the generalized name honest: a new unsupported-feature rule can
consult anything either object exposes without changing the signature, threading
another argument through, or adding a branch at the call site. It also moves the
get_variable_types_host() copy inside the predicate, so it is skipped entirely when
no callbacks are registered -- the common case.

The predicate is a template now, so it carries an explicit instantiation. Without
one the test's translation unit cannot generate it from the declaration alone, and
the symbol goes missing at link time.

Tests updated to build real problem/settings objects rather than raw vectors, which
also exercises the actual set_mip_callback() path. All 5 cases still pass.

@rg20 Done — should_disable_unsupported now takes the problem and settings directly:

template <typename i_t, typename f_t>
bool should_disable_unsupported(const cpu_optimization_problem_t<i_t, f_t>& problem,
                                const mip_solver_settings_t<i_t, f_t>& settings);

This is what makes the generalized name earn itself — a new rule can consult anything either object exposes without changing the signature, threading another argument through, or adding a branch at the call site. It also tightened the call site:

-  auto mip_callbacks   = settings.get_mip_callbacks();
-  const auto var_types = cpu_problem.get_variable_types_host();
-  if (should_disable_unsupported(var_types, !mip_callbacks.empty())) {
+  auto mip_callbacks = settings.get_mip_callbacks();
+  if (should_disable_unsupported(cpu_problem, settings)) {

Minor side benefit: get_variable_types_host() copies the whole vector, and it now happens inside the predicate after the callback check — so it is skipped entirely when no callbacks are registered, which is the common case.

The tests now build real cpu_optimization_problem_t / mip_solver_settings_t objects and register a callback through set_mip_callback(), rather than passing a bare vector and a bool. That exercises the real path instead of a stand-in. All 5 cases pass.

One note for reviewers: making it a template means it needs an explicit instantiation in solve_remote.cpp, since the test's TU only sees the declaration. That is the same footgun described in the PR body — a missing instantiation here would be a link error in the test rather than a silent drop, so it fails loudly, but it is worth knowing why that line is there.
