refactor: build the routing gRPC arm into cuopt_client - #1884
Merged
Conversation
The routing gRPC mappers were the last thing keeping a GPU-free client from covering VRP. They stayed out of cuopt_client because they reached into the routing engine, but the reach turned out to be shallow: 14 symbols, all trivial host-only accessors that happen to sit in CUDA translation units. grpc_routing_settings_mapper 8 routing::solver_settings_t getters/setters grpc_routing_solution_mapper 6 routing::assignment_t getters grpc_routing_problem_mapper 0 grpc_client_vrp 0 cython_grpc_client_vrp 0 The VRP client itself needed nothing from the engine. routing/solver_settings.cu is renamed to .cpp -- the whole file was already host code, plain accessors over scalar members, and its header pulls in no CUDA. The six assignment_t accessors move to assignment_accessors.cpp and are instantiated per member rather than with `template class`, which would also instantiate the device-facing members and pull CUDA back in. This is the same split #1801 through #1803 applied to the LP/MIP settings, and the approach #1804 anticipated for routing. libcuopt_client.so grows 2.3 MB to 2.4 MB and keeps its defining properties: no CUDA, rmm or raft in NEEDED, no undefined cuopt:: symbols, and no DT_NEEDED on any other cuOpt library.

The routing gRPC arm had almost no C++ coverage. GRPC_INTEGRATION_TEST held no routing cases at all, and of the two mappers that read the accessors this branch moves, neither had a test -- only the problem mapper did, and it is the one that touches no accessors. Adds two tests that catch different things. DefaultServerTests.SolveVRP follows the same shape as the LP and MIP cases in that fixture: submit a problem, poll to completion, fetch the solution, check it. The problem is built in code rather than loaded from a fixture file so it does not depend on the routing datasets, and the assertions avoid pinning a particular route ordering -- only that the solve succeeded and left no order unserved. GRPC_ROUTING_SETTINGS_MAPPER_TEST round-trips routing::solver_settings_t through the proto. Six of its eight accessors previously had no test at all. It covers the presence semantics an end-to-end solve cannot see: an unset time_limit must not be serialized, since the solver derives its default from absence, while an explicit zero must survive. Both were checked by mutation. Removing the time_limit presence guard leaves SolveVRP passing -- it sets an explicit limit, so it never exercises that path -- while the mapper test fails. The end-to-end test is the right primary but is not a superset of the mapper test. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Ramakrishna Prabhu <ramakrishnap@nvidia.com>

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Assert each served order location in solution.route.
The test accepts any non-empty route with matching truck_id length and an empty unserviced_nodes list. It does not prove that locations 1, 2, and 3 occur in the returned route. A route-decoding regression that drops or duplicates an order can pass this test. Assert each non-depot location is present exactly once, while allowing the depot and route order as required.
As per path instructions, C++ tests must use “meaningful VRP assertions rather than ‘runs without error’ coverage.”

Two changes to the component boundaries, both found by measuring the built libraries rather than reading the CMake. cuopt_grpc no longer earns a component. After #1884 moved the routing arm into cuopt_client, and solve_remote.cpp moved there too, the library was 18 KB holding one source file: an ELF constructor calling register_remote_solvers. It exported no cuOpt symbols at all -- its 11 dynamic symbols were incidental raft and libstdc++ template instantiations leaked from headers. As a shipped package it would have been a wheel and a conda output containing a constructor and nothing callable. grpc_registration.cpp now builds into cuopt_mathopt, which owns the registry it fills. It still cannot build into cuopt_client: that would leave the client library with an undefined register_remote_solvers and cost it the standalone property. With the constructor in the same library as the registry, the dlopen in ensure_remote_solvers_loaded() became dead code and is gone, along with the dlfcn include; the function stays as a documented no-op because two call sites read better for it. Separately, cuopt_routing referenced 8 symbols from cuopt_client with no DT_NEEDED on it -- the assignment_t and solver_settings_t accessors that #1884 moved. It resolved only because something else had pulled cuopt_client in. A routing-only install, which is the point of #1635, would have failed at load. cuopt_routing now links cuopt_client explicitly. cuopt_grpc_server had been reaching cuopt_routing transitively through cuopt_grpc, so it now links both engines directly. It is the one artifact that solves both VRP and LP/MIP, so the dependency belongs in the open. Every cross-library reference now has a matching DT_NEEDED, and cuopt_client remains a leaf: no CUDA, no rmm, no raft, no undefined cuopt:: symbols.

Description
Moves the routing gRPC arm into
cuopt_client, so the CUDA-free client library now covers VRP as well as LP/MIP.The routing mappers were held back because they reached into the routing engine. Measuring that reach showed it was shallow — 14 symbols, all trivial host-only accessors that happen to live in CUDA translation units:
grpc_routing_settings_mapperrouting::solver_settings_tgetters/settersgrpc_routing_solution_mapperrouting::assignment_tgettersgrpc_routing_problem_mappergrpc_client_vrpcython_grpc_client_vrpThe VRP client itself needed nothing from the engine.
Two changes free those 14:
routing/solver_settings.cubecomes.cpp. The whole file was already host code — plain accessors over scalar members — androuting/solver_settings.hpppulls in no CUDA.assignment_taccessors move toassignment_accessors.cpp, instantiated per member rather than withtemplate class. A whole-class instantiation would also instantiate the device-facing members and pull CUDA back into the translation unit.This is the same split #1801, #1802 and #1803 applied to the LP/MIP settings, and it is what #1804's own comment anticipated: "Moving the routing arm down needs those host-only accessors split out first, exactly as was done for the LP/MIP settings."
Result
libcuopt_client.sogrows from 2.3 MB to 2.4 MB stripped and keeps every property that makes it useful:It now exports the 6 routing mappers and the VRP client methods, so a routing-only gRPC client no longer needs the routing engine. That is listed in #1635 as "the only part of the split with real C++ work behind it".
Testing
ROUTING_UNIT_TEST,GRPC_ROUTING_PROBLEM_MAPPER_TEST,GRPC_CLIENT_TEST,GRPC_PIPE_SERIALIZATION_TEST,GRPC_INTEGRATION_TEST,C_API_TEST— 6/6 pass.test_routing_grpc_serialization.py(13) andtest_routing_grpc_client.py— pass. The two end-to-end VRP cases skip without a server, so they were run explicitly against a localcuopt_grpc_server(CUOPT_GRPC_SERVER=localhost:19555) and both pass: a VRP problem submitted over gRPC, solved, and mapped back through the code this PR moves.assignment_t's device-facing members (get_route,to_csv,get_arrival_stamp,print) survived dropping the whole-class instantiation.Tests added
