This PR is PR2 in the series of CPUFJ changes destined to improve our primal integral metrics.

A new optimized CPUFJ engine has been added, specialized to problems with binary variables only and integer activities. This allows for numerous optimizations and SIMD hot paths that allows the binary engine to run at a greatly improved throughput compared to the general CPUFJ algorithm.

The weighting scheme used is DDFW. Weights are transferred between rows instead of accumulated per local minimum. This has been shown to perform better on binary instances in general.
Problems with a limited number of integer variables with a tight domain are encoded as binaries to broaden the eligibility of instances.

Google Highway is used for the main solve kernels such as score updates per iteration. Most information is maintained incrementally to reduce the amount of work done per iteration as much as possible.

relevant feasibility-jump kernel, ensuring tile_incidence provides sufficient
SIMD overwrite space beyond its 256 valid elements. Update the allocation or
storage definition rather than changing the compression logic, and preserve

- Around line 69-71: Update the tabu ring handling used by tabu.on_flip and the
2-opt apply_move calls so each flip receives an independent ring slot instead of
sharing the same iters-based slot. Size the ring to accommodate two entries per
iteration, at least 2 * max_tenure, and reset the independent write cursor in

validate and cap the widened w * scale result, and update the
violated-constraint reweighting and objective-weight increment paths to clamp
operands/results before int32_t setters. Derive and reuse one cap from the
packed int64_t range, maximum variable degree, and fj_obj_mult_max; keep
fj_bin_base_limit as a logging-only saturation reference.
- Around line 993-995: Reject empty binary engines before dispatching to
engine.solve, including cases where fj_bin_narrow leaves pb.n_variables equal to
zero with finite constraint sides. In the move-selection flow around
find_move_violated, return or skip the iteration when move_var is negative
instead of defaulting to variable 0, and only call apply_move for a valid move
variable.

Google Highway CompressStore may overwrite lanes beyond count CompressBlendedStore difference

💡 Result:

In the Google Highway library, the key difference between CompressStore and CompressBlendedStore lies in their behavior regarding memory outside the range of valid (compressed) lanes [1][2]. CompressStore is defined to write the lanes whose mask is true into the destination memory starting at lane 0 [1][2]. Critically, it may be implemented as a Compress operation followed by a StoreU operation; consequently, it may overwrite lanes in the destination memory that occur after the valid, compressed lanes [1][2]. In contrast, CompressBlendedStore is designed to write only the lanes where the mask is true [1][2]. It explicitly does not modify subsequent lanes in the destination memory [1][2]. However, documentation notes there is no guarantee of atomicity for this operation, as it may be implemented as a sequence of Compress, LoadU, IfThenElse(FirstN), and StoreU [1][2]. In summary: - CompressStore: May overwrite lanes beyond the count of valid lanes [1][2]. - CompressBlendedStore: Does not overwrite lanes beyond the count of valid lanes [1][2]. The library has historically received updates to ensure the correct behavior of CompressBlendedStore across different hardware targets, such as AVX3_ZEN4 and AVX3_SPR [3].

💡 Result:

In the Google Highway library, CompressStore and CompressBlendedStore are operations used to store specific elements from a vector to memory based on a mask [1]. CompressStore - Signature: size_t CompressStore(V v, M m, D d, T* p) [1] - Functionality: Writes the lanes of vector v where mask m is true into the memory location p, starting from lane 0 [1]. It returns the number of valid lanes written (CountTrue(d, m)) [1]. - Note: It may be implemented as a Compress operation followed by a store; consequently, lanes after the valid ones in memory may be overwritten [1]. It can be slow for 8-bit and 16-bit lanes [1]. CompressBlendedStore - Signature: size_t CompressBlendedStore(V v, M m, D d, T* p) [1] - Functionality: Writes only the lanes where mask m is true into memory starting at p [1]. Unlike CompressStore, it does not modify subsequent lanes [1]. - Note: It returns the number of lanes written [1]. It does not guarantee atomicity because it may be implemented as a sequence of Compress, LoadU, IfThenElse, and StoreU operations [1].

💡 Result:

CompressStore and CompressBlendedStore are concepts primarily associated with performance-oriented SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) programming, specifically within the Google Highway library and low-level compiler intrinsics. CompressStore In the context of the Google Highway library, CompressStore is a function used to pack elements of a vector into memory based on a selection mask [1]. It extracts lanes from a source vector that correspond to set bits in the mask and writes them contiguously to a destination memory address [1]. It is typically used when the goal is to store only specific, selected elements compactly. CompressBlendedStore CompressBlendedStore is a related operation also found in the Google Highway library [2][3]. While CompressStore simply writes the selected elements, CompressBlendedStore is designed to perform a blend or "masked" write operation, often used in in-place algorithms [3]. This is particularly important when an output buffer overlaps with the input data, as it helps prevent overwriting elements that have not yet been processed [3]. Compiler Intrinsics At the compiler level (e.g., LLVM), llvm.masked.compressstore is a specific intrinsic that performs a masked compress store operation [4][5]. It is designed to take a data vector, a pointer, and a mask to store only the active lanes contiguously [4][5]. However, because this instruction can be costly or have limited support on some hardware architectures (such as specific Zen 4 implementations), developers and compiler engineers often work on optimizations or alternative sequences to improve performance and avoid unnecessary memory round-trips or slow microcoded instructions [6][7][5]. Other Contexts The term Compress Store also appears as a module name in other unrelated software projects, such as a CompressStore module within the ModelEngine-Group unified-cache-management repository, which involves logging and data management workflows [8]. However, this is distinct from the SIMD programming primitive described above [8].

Pad the destination for CompressStore.

Highway 1.4.0 allows CompressStore to overwrite lanes after the valid compressed lanes. The 256-element tile_incidence buffer can therefore be overwritten when the final SIMD store starts near its end. Allocate SIMD padding for the destination.

Proposed fix
-    int32_t tile_incidence[fj_bin_walk_tile];
+    int32_t tile_incidence[fj_bin_walk_tile + fj_bin_simd_padding];

There is no target where the lane count isn't a power of two, and Highway specifically requires this anyways afaik

@aliceb-nv, the lane count being a power of two does not make the destination safe.

CompressStore can write a full vector after out_incidence + n_out, even when fewer lanes pass to_tail. For example, if n_out == 255 and N == 8, a final store can write through tile_incidence[262]. The valid output count still remains at most 256.

tile_incidence has exactly 256 elements in fj_cpu_binary.cu, but it has no SIMD padding. The existing fj_bin_simd_padding value already provides sufficient space. The allocation should include it.

Thank you Alice! I couldn't review the kernels.

// Spans over the arrays wired above, so the model reads the same memory under one name. A
// host-LP climber carries no presolve scaling, which is what the identity default stands for.
auto model = std::make_shared<fj_cpu_problem_t<i_t, f_t>>();
model->offsets = raft::device_span<i_t>(fj_cpu.h_offsets.data(), fj_cpu.h_offsets.size());

The first load is opportunistic and light to hopefully abort before the lock, after that memory ordering is guaranteed via the mutex. It is fine if the first load is stale

assignment = candidate;
objective.store(candidate_objective, std::memory_order_relaxed);

Since we stick to binary problems only, the only move possible is a flip, so that lets us avoid storing a value entirely

Do you think adding an epsilon here would be beneficial? Small numerical improvements might trigger new incumbent code and epsilon margin will only save true new incumbents.

This is part of the later PRs as well :) I only accept new incumbents with a (very small) relative tolerance change to prevent flooding the solution processing pipeline for the few instances where a new barely-better (e.g. 1e-6 change) incumbent is found nearly every iteration

nnz_patched += row_end - row_begin;
}

This is pretty smart!

CPUFJ scans each model for the binary fast path's shape: all columns binary and
all row coefficients integral within int8 or int16 range. Eligible models are
searched by a dedicated engine holding slack, weights and per-variable scores as
integers, with Highway multi-target kernels for the row walk, the score patch
and the argmax. It declines rather than approximating, so anything outside that
shape still takes the general path.

The engine reads the model through fj_cpu_problem_t, a set of spans over the
climber's existing host arrays, so both paths address the same memory. Search
policy is uniform across lanes here; incumbents reach the user through the
climber's existing improvement callback rather than the shared pool.

CUOPT_NO_BINFJ disables the dispatch without touching the eligibility scan,
which is how a divergence from the general path gets bisected.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Guard the millisecond conversion against an infinite time_limit.

Line 952 shows that a non-finite time_limit is expected. Line 951 converts std::floor((double)time_limit * 1000.0) to int64_t unconditionally, so an infinite time_limit makes the conversion undefined behavior. A UBSan build traps on it even though limit is never read when bounded_time is false.

🐛 Proposed fix to convert only finite limits
     const auto loop_start = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();

Uncrush the assignment before the diversity callback

When has_bin_elimination is true and diversity_callback is set, this reachable binary-solver branch rebuilds h_assignment but does not call uncrush. The loop resets eliminated variables to pb.var_offset; they are not stale, but they can violate the eliminated equality rows. incumbent_objective can also omit nonzero eliminated-variable contributions and therefore not match the assignment. No reduced-space exception is declared for diversity_callback.

🐛 Proposed fix to complete the assignment before the callback
         for (int32_t b = 0; b < pb.n_variables; ++b)
           if (assign[b]) h_assign[pb.bit_owner[b]] += (f_t)pb.bit_weight[b];
-        climber.diversity_callback((f_t)incumbent_objective, h_assign);
+        f_t reported_objective = (f_t)incumbent_objective;
+        if (climber.has_bin_elimination) {
+          uncrush(climber, h_assign);
+          reported_objective = 0;
+          for (i_t var = 0; var < (i_t)climber.problem->h_obj_coeffs.size(); ++var)
+            reported_objective += climber.problem->h_obj_coeffs[var] * h_assign[var];
+        }
+        climber.diversity_callback(reported_objective, h_assign);
