[DON'T MERGE] Bug fix: barrier determinism - #1856
Conversation
… set The barrier solver produced different results run to run even with --cudss-deterministic 1: two runs were bit-identical for the first ten IPM iterations, then differed by 1 ULP and amplified to the fifth significant digit by iteration 100. The source was the SpMV algorithm selection. Per the cuSPARSE documentation CUSPARSE_SPMV_CSR_ALG1 "may produce slightly different results during different runs with the same input parameters", while ALG2 "provides deterministic (bit-wise) results for each run" - the reverse of what the previous comment here claimed. Measured on cuSPARSE 12.5.10 / sm_100a with the barrier's own operands, ALG1 differed on 199 of 199 repeats (5 of 7990 entries, 1 ULP) and gave 5 distinct results across 8 processes; ALG2 was bit-identical over 200 repeats and across processes. A single perturbed entry is enough to change the trajectory: the SpMV computing r = b - A*x feeds d_h_, which becomes the constraint block of the augmented system RHS, so cuDSS is handed a different right-hand side and returns a different search direction. cuDSS itself was verified deterministic for fixed input on both 0.7.1 and 0.9.0. Select ALG2 when determinism is requested, and thread the flag through cusparse_view_t so both spmv() and transpose_spmv() use it. The default path is unchanged, so runs that do not ask for determinism keep the faster ALG1. The pre-existing note about ALG2 and beta=1 accumulate mode on cuSPARSE < 13.0 is retained for the default path; that behaviour did not reproduce on 12.5.10, where ALG2 with beta=1 matched a CPU reference to 3.6e-15.

NVIDIA cuopt cpp/src/barrier/cusparse_view.cu CUSPARSE_VER_MAJOR cusparse_version
💡 Result:
The file cpp/src/barrier/cusparse_view.cu is part of the NVIDIA cuOpt source code, which utilizes the cuSPARSE library for sparse matrix operations [1][2]. In this context, CUSPARSE_VER_MAJOR and related macros (such as CUSPARSE_VER_MINOR, CUSPARSE_VER_PATCH, and CUSPARSE_VERSION) are standard constants provided by the cuSPARSE library headers [3][4]. These macros are used within cuOpt source files like cusparse_view.cu to manage compatibility, conditionally compile code, or enable specific features based on the version of the cuSPARSE library available at build time [5][6][7]. For example, cuOpt uses these versions to: 1. Guard or enable experimental features, such as SpMVOp APIs, by verifying the cuSPARSE runtime version [7][8]. 2. Manage conditional logic for descriptor or buffer creation, especially when handling mixed-precision or specialized sparse matrix operations across different library versions [6][7]. The constant CUSPARSE_VER_MAJOR represents the major version number of the installed cuSPARSE library [9][10]. Developers typically use it alongside other version constants to ensure the application compiles against a compatible cuSPARSE runtime [5][11]. While cusparse_view.cu is a specific implementation file in cuOpt [1], it relies on these standard cuSPARSE definitions to interact with the library's runtime interface [9][7].

Base get_spmv_alg on the loaded cuSPARSE version.
get_spmv_alg computes cusparse_version from compile-time CUSPARSE_VER_*, while dynamic_load_runtime can load a different cuSPARSE library. With CUDA 13 headers and a cuSPARSE 12 runtime, a one-row or one-column matrix can therefore use CUSPARSE_SPMV_CSR_ALG2 despite the cuSPARSE 12 workaround. The reverse mismatch can use CUSPARSE_SPMV_CSR_ALG1 on cuSPARSE 13. Query the loaded library version before selecting the algorithm, or reject mixed versions. Add regression coverage for both mismatch directions and both singleton dimensions.

Preserve deterministic-mode algorithm selection. The previous get_spmv_alg selected CUSPARSE_SPMV_CSR_ALG2 only when deterministic_ was enabled and otherwise selected ALG1 on cuSPARSE versions below 13. The new helper removes deterministic_, so all non-singleton matrices use ALG2 regardless of --cudss-deterministic. Pass the mode through and keep the row/column workaround separate.

Restore deterministic-mode state in the SpMV selector.
On cuSPARSE versions below 13, the previous selector used CUSPARSE_SPMV_CSR_ALG1 for opportunistic execution and CUSPARSE_SPMV_CSR_ALG2 for deterministic execution. The new cusparse_view_t constructor drops deterministic, so non-singleton spmv and transpose_spmv calls always select ALG2. ALG2 can ignore existing y values in beta-1 accumulation mode on these versions, which can produce incorrect results. Restore the mode parameter and preserve the opportunistic ALG1 branch while applying the singleton fallback.

get_spmv_algno longer receives the deterministic mode. On cuSPARSE versions before 13.0, every non-singleton matrix now usesCUSPARSE_SPMV_CSR_ALG2, including runs with--cudss-deterministic 0. This changes the default path from the previous opportunisticALG1behavior and affects bothspmv()andtranspose_spmv(). cuSPARSE documentsALG1as the default/faster CSR algorithm andALG2as the deterministic algorithm.

Description
Fixes run-to-run nondeterminism in the barrier solver when
--cudss-deterministic 1is set.get_spmv_algbranches toCUSPARSE_SPMV_CSR_ALG1for cuSPARSE < 13.0, which is the path takenon CUDA 12.9. The comment justified this with "ALG1 uses a deterministic row-split algorithm …
ALG1 is safe for reproducibility", but the cuSPARSE docs say the opposite:
CUSPARSE_SPMV_CSR_ALG1CUSPARSE_SPMV_CSR_ALG2So on CUDA 12.x the solver was always using the non-deterministic algorithm. Measured on
cuSPARSE 12.5.10: ALG1 differed on 199/199 repeats (5 of 7990 entries, 1 ULP); ALG2 was
bit-identical over 200 repeats and across processes.
Select ALG2 when determinism is requested, and thread the flag through
cusparse_view_tso bothspmv()andtranspose_spmv()use it. The default path is unchanged.
