Summary

Concurrent LP solving could return from a cuDSS operation immediately after CUDSS_DATA_USER_HOST_INTERRUPT was set. Because cuDSS kernels may continue asynchronously after host interruption, the sparse Cholesky object could begin destroying cuDSS state while device work was still running.

This caused reproducible CUDSS_STATUS_INTERNAL_ERROR and cudaErrorUnknown failures, sometimes leaving the GPU unavailable.

Synchronize both the cuDSS stream and RAFT handle stream before returning CONCURRENT_HALT_RETURN after cuDSS operations. Both streams are synchronized because CUDA 13 green-context execution can assign cuDSS a stream different from the handle stream.

The synchronization only occurs on the concurrent-halt path, so normal solver performance is unaffected.

Validation

  • Reproduced the unpatched failure twice on H100 after approximately 10–85 seconds.
  • Patched H100:
    • Completed the original 600-second reproducer without error.
    • Completed three additional 120-second cancellation runs.
  • Patched B200:
    • Completed a full 403-second solve without error.
    • Completed three additional 120-second cancellation runs.

Wait for interrupted cuDSS work before unwinding so asynchronous kernels cannot outlive solver state.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Sparse Cholesky concurrent-halt paths now synchronize the cuDSS and RAFT handle streams before returning across CSR and CSC operations. CSC reordering also performs explicit cuDSS status validation and error logging.

Changes

Sparse Cholesky stream synchronization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Synchronize CSR halt paths
cpp/src/barrier/sparse_cholesky.cuh
CSR reordering, symbolic factorization, and numeric factorization synchronize both streams before concurrent-halt returns, including the post-timing check.
Synchronize CSC and solve halt paths
cpp/src/barrier/sparse_cholesky.cuh
CSC reordering, CSC factorization, and solve halt paths synchronize both streams. CSC reordering explicitly logs unsuccessful cuDSS status and returns an error.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 84555

Concurrent cancellation can still return before asynchronous GPU work finishes in CSC factorization paths, allowing teardown to race with device execution and causing runtime failures or GPU unavailability. The PR is not merge-ready until interrupt status is handled before error propagation and synchronization is guaranteed.

Add unit regression coverage for every interrupted phase.

Add tests under cpp/src/tests for CSR reordering, symbolic factorization, numeric factorization, CSC analysis/factorization, and solve. Trigger concurrent_halt during each phase and verify that both streams finish before CONCURRENT_HALT_RETURN.

As per coding guidelines, CUDA/C++ changes must add unit tests and use cpp/src/tests for examples.

Add gtest coverage for concurrent halt.

No unit-test change covers the new synchronization contract. Add a regression test that interrupts each changed cuDSS phase and verifies that CONCURRENT_HALT_RETURN occurs only after the cuDSS and RAFT streams are quiescent.

As per coding guidelines: “Add unit tests. Please refer to cpp/src/tests for examples of unit tests on C and C++ using gtest”.

733-736: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Process CSC interrupt status before macro error handling.

When cudssExecute detects CUDSS_DATA_USER_HOST_INTERRUPT, it returns CUDSS_STATUS_EXECUTION_FAILED, and GPU work may still be active. CUDSS_CALL_AND_CHECK returns -1 before the halt branch can synchronize that work. Use direct status handling before error handling in both CSC symbolic and numeric factorization paths.

## Summary
- `cuopt_mvn`'s retry/backoff loop (`java/cuopt/scripts/maven.sh`, added in #1524 to address #1820) never actually ran: `test.sh` invokes it under `set -euo pipefail`, and the loop ran `mvn ... | tee "${log}"` as a bare statement rather than as the condition of an `if`/`while`. With `pipefail` on, a failing `mvn` makes the pipeline's exit status non-zero, and `set -e` then kills the function immediately — before the code that reads `PIPESTATUS[0]` and decides whether to retry ever runs.
- Confirmed against a live failure (job [98796785653](https://github.com/NVIDIA/cuopt/actions/runs/33106999631/job/98796785653), PR #1810, 2026-08-28): a single `mvn` attempt hits a Maven Central 429, and the job fails immediately with none of `cuopt_mvn`'s retry log lines present, even though that branch already had the retry code.
- Fix: guard the pipeline as the condition of an `if` so its failure is caught by the loop instead of triggering the caller's `set -e`. Verified locally that the loop now retries with backoff on a simulated 429 and still returns cleanly on success.

## Test plan
- [ ] `java-build` CI passes
- [x] Local repro: stubbed `mvn` returning a 429-style error under `set -euo pipefail` now produces `mvn attempt 1/3 ...`, `attempt 2/3 ...`, backoff sleeps, and a final failure only after exhausting retries (previously died on attempt 1 with no retry log at all)
- [x] Local repro: stubbed `mvn` returning success still returns 0 immediately
