Performance improvements to sparse MST solver - #3118
Conversation
Upstream refactored the previous MST solver's kernel launches in mst_solver_inl.cuh; that file is rewritten on this branch, so the branch version is kept. SPDX headers updated to the new style.
📝 WalkthroughSummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughThe MST implementation now uses an ECL-MST-based worklist Borůvka algorithm. It adds deterministic tie-breaking, narrow and wide integer support, sampling, resumable solves, COO extraction, and expanded correctness tests. ChangesMST solver rewrite
Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~90 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new MST implementation currently risks failing to build in some host/compiler configurations and for narrow-index instantiations; malformed CSR offsets may also silently produce an incorrect forest. These bounded correctness and compatibility issues should be addressed before merging. Suggested reviewers: 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

🌐 Web query:
Does CUDA 128-bit atomicCAS require the host compiler to define __SIZEOF_INT128__, and is it supported on Windows?
💡 Result:
CUDA 128-bit atomicCAS usage is subject to specific requirements regarding the host compiler and platform support [1]. Regarding the SIZEOF_INT128 macro: The CUDA C++ Programming Guide specifies that for the 128-bit integer type int128 to be supported, it must be available on the host, and specifically, the host compiler must define the SIZEOF_INT128 macro [1]. This requirement applies generally to the use of 128-bit types in CUDA code, which is a prerequisite for using 128-bit atomicCAS functions [1]. Regarding support on Windows: Native 128-bit atomics are generally not supported on Windows when using the MSVC host compiler [2]. While CUDA device code might theoretically support 128-bit operations on sufficiently new compute capabilities (e.g., compute capability 9.x and higher for atomicCAS) [1], the host-side infrastructure—such as the Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC) compiler—does not provide the necessary 128-bit integer support or intrinsic atomics required for this functionality [2]. Consequently, attempts to use 128-bit atomics (including via libraries like cuda::atomic_ref) on Windows typically fail, as MSVC does not define the required macros or provide the corresponding types [2]. In summary, 128-bit atomicCAS requires the host compiler to support and define SIZEOF_INT128 [1], and this feature is currently not supported on Windows due to limitations in the MSVC host compiler [2].

Gate RAFT_MST_HAS_CAS128 on host __int128 support
When __SIZEOF_INT128__ is undefined, set RAFT_MST_HAS_CAS128 to 0. Otherwise, mst_u128 prevents builds with host compilers such as MSVC, even when targeting sm_90+.

Validate offsets[v] == e.
The kernels locate the row of edge j by binary search over offsets[0..v). If offsets[v] != e, edges past offsets[v] resolve to row v - 1, and the solver returns an incorrect forest with no error. The other preconditions already fail loudly, so add this one check.

Disambiguate the narrow MST kernel launches.
mst_filter_min_kernel<vertex_t> and mst_select_join_kernel<vertex_t> remain overloaded. These calls require the converting raft::launch_kernel overload because the arguments do not exactly match the const/volatile kernel parameters. That overload requires one kernel specialization, so narrow MST instantiations fail to compile. Cast each kernel name to the intended function-pointer type or add an unambiguous wrapper. The fully specified wide calls, including RAFT_MST_FORCE_TWOPASS, are unambiguous.

239, Disambiguate the narrow-branch launches of mst_filter_min_kernel and
mst_select_join_kernel by casting each kernel name to its intended
function-pointer type or routing through an unambiguous wrapper, so
raft::launch_kernel selects the converting overload despite const/volatile
parameter differences. Preserve the existing wide and RAFT_MST_FORCE_TWOPASS
calls unchanged.
Summary
Replaces the internals of
raft::sparse::solver::mstwith a solver based on ECL-MST, SC'23. The public API is unchanged. Ties break deterministically on (weight order key, edge index) instead of randomized weight alteration, which both fixes float-precision issues and removes the alteration cost.Two main features:
detail/mst_kernels.cuh,detail/mst_solver_inl.cuhrewritten,MST_solverreduceddetail/mst_utils.cuhdeleted (its only reference was in the old kernels)vertex_t/edge_tsupport (uniform 64-bit and mixed 32-bit vertex / 64-bit edge), validated to 2.25B edges on H200 and 4.29B edges on ~250GB GPU memory (only real limiting factor is GPU memory capacity now, edges more expensive than vertices due to the worklists). When the extra capacity isn't required, the 32-bit instantiations keep the faster performance.Algorithm overview
ECL-MST is an edge-parallel approach. Setup adds each undirected edge into a worklist (an optional two-phase filter first solves over the light edges when the average degree makes it worthwhile). Each round then runs three edge-parallel steps over the worklist:
atomicMinon a per-component slot, using a packed (weight order key, edge index) value the index half makes ties deterministic, which is what lets this PR delete weight alteration.atomicCASon parent pointers).There is now a narrow and wide path. The narrow path (4-byte weight and edge index) packs the key into
64 bits and uses hardware
atomicMin. This is the path that all the existing downstream implementations (cuGraph, cuML, cuVS) would use.Changes made for this PR beyond the published algorithm:
parent[]reads/writes, pinning them against compiler tearing.Correctness fixes over the current solver
kernel_min_edge_per_vertex(launched<<<v, 32>>>) computes its thread id in 32-bit arithmetic. Above 2^26 vertices (int) / 2^27 (int64) vertices silently stop participating and a truncated forest is returned past the guards.Performance (H200, best-of-9 for both, interleaved, w/ correctness validated)
Geomean vs current solver on the SC'23 suite: 6.25x float (over the 13 graphs the current solver completes correctly), 7.33x double (all 18).
Determinism contract
The forest edge set, edge count, total weight, and colors are deterministic run-to-run, across architectures, and across the CAS128/two-pass implementations. The order of edges within the output COO is unspecified. Note: from the float domain the order key distinguishes -0.0 < +0.0 because of the sign bit.
Observable behavior changes (possible downstream issues?)
