This PR introduces a deterministic execution mode for the parallel branch-and-bound MIP solver.
When determinism_mode = CUOPT_MODE_DETERMINISTIC, the solver guarantees bitwise-identical results across runs regardless of thread scheduling variations, so long as the runs are on the same platform with the same environment (= same glibc, etc...)

The approach that was chosen is referred to as Bulk Synchronous Parallel (BSP) in the literature. This is an execution model where computation proceeds in discrete horizons of virtual time (=work units) separated by synchronization barriers.
To cope with the inherent nondeterminism of wall-clock-time due to factors such as caching state, OS scheduling, CPU throttling...
instead of time, progress is measured in "work units" approximating the execution time of an algorithm using known and deterministic factors, such as memory operations, problem features and sparsity...

Workers explore the tree independently and locally within a horizon, and collect events (branching decisions, solutions, pseudo-cost updates) during the process without exchanging them yet.
At each horizon boundary, events are sorted by work-unit timestamp with tie-breaking, history is replayed in deterministic order to update global state, and if need be nodes are redistributed across workers to balance load (which replaces the ramp-up mechanism).
Workers operate on local snapshots of shared state (pseudo-costs, upper bound, LP iteration count) taken at horizon start to avoid read races. This trades some accuracy in decisions (pruning may rely on a higher lower bound than in nondeterminsitic mode), for determinism.

Support for start CPU heuristics is present, based on a "producer" model: CPUFJ starts immediately and begins producing solutions with work unit timestamps, that are produced by the B&B thread once the appropriate time is reached. A form of one-way synchronization is implemented to prevent the CPUFJ thread from "falling behind" and producing solutiosn in the past from the perspective of the B&B thread. CPUFJ is allowed to run ahead, and is biased to run faster than B&B to avoid unnecessary syncs.

B&B BFS workers, diving workers, and a start CPUFJ thread are supported in deterministic mode. GPU Heuristics are disabled in this mode and will be incorporated into the deterministic framework in the future.

Note: files in the utilities/models/ folders are auto-generated from the LightGBM models trained to predict work units from algorithm features.

The implementation is described in more detail in this document: B&B Determinism

57-58: Thread-safety concern: Global static variables.

local_search_best_obj and pop_ptr are global static variables modified without synchronization. If multiple solver instances run concurrently (e.g., in a server context), this causes data races.

Per coding guidelines: "Prevent thread-unsafe use of global and static variables; use proper mutex/synchronization in server code accessing shared solver state."

Consider making these instance members or using thread-local storage if per-thread isolation is acceptable.

In `@cpp/src/dual_simplex/branch_and_bound.hpp`:
- Around line 374-380: The comparator node_ptr_lower_bound_comp currently only
compares mip_node_t::lower_bound causing non-deterministic ordering; update
operator() in node_ptr_lower_bound_comp to tie-break when lower_bound are equal
by comparing the BSP identity tuple fields (origin_worker_id then creation_seq)
from mip_node_t<i_t,f_t> so the ordering is deterministic and matches
backlog_node_compare_t / deterministic_node_ptr_comp, and ensure the heap_
instantiation continues to use node_ptr_lower_bound_comp.

In `@cpp/src/dual_simplex/pseudo_costs.cpp`:
- Around line 269-278: The new log unconditionally indexes solution[branch_var]
which is undefined when variable_selection_from_pseudo_costs returns -1 (e.g.,
when fractional is empty); update the code around branch_var (the call to
variable_selection_from_pseudo_costs and the log.printf) to check if branch_var
== -1 and handle that case (for example, log a message like "pc no branching
variable" or similar) instead of indexing solution, otherwise log the selected
variable and its value as before.

In `@cpp/src/dual_simplex/pseudo_costs.hpp`:
- Around line 35-63: In compute_pseudo_cost_averages,
num_initialized_down/num_initialized_up are incremented even when
pc_sum_down/pc_sum_up is non-finite; change the logic so you only increment
num_initialized_down when pc_num_down[j] > 0 AND std::isfinite(pc_sum_down[j])
(and likewise only increment num_initialized_up when pc_num_up[j] > 0 AND
std::isfinite(pc_sum_up[j])), leaving the fallback to f_t(1.0) unchanged when
the corresponding count remains zero; update the blocks around
pc_num_down/pc_sum_down and pc_num_up/pc_sum_up so the increment and the
accumulation happen together to avoid skewing averages.

In `@cpp/src/dual_simplex/simplex_solver_settings.hpp`:
- Around line 143-144: Initialize the uninitialized bool member `deterministic`
in the `SimplexSolverSettings` constructor initializer list (the same place
where `cudss_deterministic(false)` is set) to a sensible default (e.g., false)
so `deterministic` does not have an indeterminate value; update the constructor
for the `SimplexSolverSettings` class to include `deterministic(false)` in its
initializer list.

In `@cpp/src/dual_simplex/singletons.cpp`:
- Around line 203-211: The code unsafely uses static_cast<std::vector<i_t>&> on
col_perm and row_perm which is undefined when VectorI is an ins_vector wrapper;
replace those casts by calling the wrapper's .underlying() to get the actual
std::vector references (e.g., use col_perm.underlying() and
row_perm.underlying()) before passing into the row_col_graph_t<i_t> constructor
and any other places that currently cast the vectors (also update the second
occurrence around lines 237–246).

In `@cpp/src/mip/feasibility_jump/fj_cpu.cu`:
- Around line 517-521: The integrality check currently only treats
var_t::INTEGER as integer in is_integer_var(fj_cpu_climber_t<i_t, f_t>& fj_cpu,
i_t var_idx); update this function to also return true for binary variables by
checking fj_cpu.h_is_binary_variable[var_idx] in addition to
fj_cpu.h_var_types[var_idx] == var_t::INTEGER so binary variables (stored
separately with var_t::CONTINUOUS) are included in the integrality validation
used later in the integrality check logic.

In `@cpp/src/mip/utilities/cpu_worker_thread.cuh`:
- Around line 133-141: The method
cpu_worker_thread_base_t<Derived>::wait_for_cpu_solver uses std::chrono and the
CUOPT_LOG_DEBUG macro but the header does not include the required headers; add
the standard header <chrono> and the project's logging/header that defines
CUOPT_LOG_DEBUG (the logging header used elsewhere in the project) to the top of
cpu_worker_thread.cuh so the chrono types and logging macro are declared and
compilation won't depend on include order.

In `@cpp/src/utilities/hashing.hpp`:
- Around line 13-14: The compute_hash template currently takes its vector
parameter by value causing an unnecessary copy; change the signature of
compute_hash (template <typename i_t> inline uint32_t compute_hash(...)) to
accept the input as a const reference (const std::vector<i_t>& h_contents) and
update any internal usage accordingly to avoid mutating the vector and prevent
copies when hashing.
- Around line 28-33: compute_hash currently uses __CUDA_ARCH__ to conditionally
add __device__, which yields different signatures between host and device
builds; update the declaration of compute_hash (template<typename i_t> inline
uint32_t compute_hash(const i_t val) / function name compute_hash) to use a
CUDA-aware qualifier macro instead of __CUDA_ARCH__—e.g., wrap NVCC detection in
a compile-time macro and apply __host__ __device__ (or a custom CUDA_HOST_DEVICE
macro) unconditionally when compiling with NVCC so the signature is identical
for host and device; ensure the new macro is defined only when __CUDACC__ (or
equivalent) is present to avoid adding unknown attributes for non-CUDA
compilers.

In `@cpp/src/utilities/memory_instrumentation.hpp`:
- Line 26: Remove the leftover development comment "// Thank you Cursor!" from
the memory_instrumentation.hpp header—locate the stray comment in the file
(outside any function/class) and delete it so no debug/attribution comments
remain in the production code.

In `@cpp/src/utilities/models/fj_predictor/quantize.cpp`:
- Around line 1149-1161: The function fj_predictor::quantize lacks a bounds
check for the fid index, which can read past th_begin/th_len and cause UB; add a
guard at the top of quantize that validates fid is within the valid range (e.g.,
fid < th_begin.size() or fid < num_features) and returns the same sentinel/error
value (or handles error consistently) when out of range; ensure subsequent uses
of th_begin[fid], th_len[fid], and threshold[offset] are only done after this
check so no out-of-bounds access can occur.

In `@cpp/src/utilities/models/pdlp_predictor/quantize.cpp`:
- Around line 975-987: The quantize function lacks validation of the fid index
into th_begin/th_len/threshold and uses a magic sentinel 936; update
pdlp_predictor::quantize to first check that fid is within the valid range (0 <=
fid < th_begin.size() or th_len.size()) and handle out-of-range by returning the
sentinel or an error code, and replace the hard-coded 936 check with a derived
value (e.g., compare offset against total_num_threshold or threshold.size()) so
the "no thresholds for this feature" branch uses a boundary derived from the
actual arrays (use th_begin, th_len, threshold, or total_num_threshold
identifiers to locate and implement the checks).

In `@cpp/src/utilities/producer_sync.hpp`:
- Around line 19-52: The header is missing the <algorithm> include used by
std::find in producer_sync_t::deregister_producer; add `#include` <algorithm> at
the top of the file (alongside <vector>, <mutex>, etc.) so std::find is
available, then rebuild to ensure producer_sync_t::deregister_producer and any
other use of std::find compile on non-transitive STL implementations.

In `@cpp/src/utilities/timing_utils.hpp`:
- Around line 25-29: The rdtsc() inline uses GNU inline asm which breaks MSVC
x64; add an `#if/`#elif branch so rdtsc() uses the MSVC intrinsic __rdtsc()
(include <intrin.h>) when compiling under MSVC/_M_X64 and retain the inline asm
for GCC/Clang, and ensure headers are conditionally included. Also replace
non-portable printf("%lu", some_uint64) usage by printing the 64-bit value
portably—either use PRIx/PRIu macros from <inttypes.h> (e.g., PRIu64) or cast
the value to (unsigned long long) and use "%llu"—and update includes
accordingly.

In `@cpp/src/utilities/work_limit_timer.hpp`:
- Around line 29-43: Change global_work_units_elapsed to an atomic counter and
use relaxed atomics wherever threads read/write it: replace double
global_work_units_elapsed with std::atomic<double> (or an atomic integer with
fixed scaling if preferred), include <atomic>, update
work_limit_context_t::record_work to use fetch_add(work,
std::memory_order_relaxed) and then load the new value with
load(std::memory_order_relaxed) before calling
scheduler->on_work_recorded(*this, ...), and replace any direct
assignments/reads to work_limit_context_t::global_work_units_elapsed (e.g., the
write in work_unit_scheduler.cpp and all worker-thread reads in
branch_and_bound.cpp) with atomic store/load using std::memory_order_relaxed so
all accesses are synchronized without heavy ordering.

In `@cpp/src/utilities/work_unit_predictor.cpp`:
- Around line 44-52: The code writes different union members of model_t::Entry
(data[]) depending on presence of a feature then later reads the other member,
causing undefined behavior; change model_t::Entry to include an explicit
tag/flag (e.g., bool is_missing or an enum) or replace the union with a struct
containing std::optional<float> so you always have a well-defined way to test
presence, set that flag/optional when populating data[i] (use the iterator
returned by features.find to avoid calling features.at twice) and update the
later check (the place currently checking data[i].missing != -1) to use the new
flag/optional instead of reading a possibly-uninitialized union member; ensure
all code paths that construct or read model_t::Entry use the new presence
indicator.
- Around line 60-63: The code uses a 32-bit key from
cuopt::linear_programming::detail::compute_hash(cache_vec) to index
prediction_cache, which allows hash collisions to return wrong predictions;
change the cache to store and verify the full feature vector with each cached
value (e.g., map key -> pair<vector<float>, float> or store vector in the mapped
value) and on lookup (when computing key and finding cached_it) compare
cached_it->second's stored vector to cache_vec and only return the cached
prediction on exact match, otherwise treat as a miss and compute/store a new
entry; update any insertion logic to save the full cache_vec alongside the
prediction and adjust prediction_cache's type accordingly (alternatively change
the container to use the feature vector itself as the key).

In `@cpp/src/utilities/work_unit_predictor.hpp`:
- Around line 29-44: The constructor for cpu_work_unit_scaler_t divides
baseline_max_clock by get_cpu_max_clock_mhz() without validating the result,
which can produce inf/NaN if max_clock <= 0 or non-finite; update the
constructor to validate max_clock (call get_cpu_max_clock_mhz()), check for <= 0
or non-finite (use std::isfinite or equivalent) and if invalid set
scaling_factor_ to a safe default (e.g., 1.0) or compute using a clamped minimum
value, otherwise compute scaling_factor_ = baseline_max_clock / max_clock;
ensure scaling_factor_ is always initialized to a finite value.
- Around line 50-60: predict_scalar in work_unit_predictor_t mutates the mutable
prediction_cache without synchronization, causing data races when shared
predictors (e.g., static bs_predictor used by solve_node_bsp run via
run_worker_loop and predictors stored in context.work_unit_predictors) are
accessed by multiple worker threads; fix by making prediction_cache access
thread-safe—either add a mutable std::mutex (e.g., mutex_ in
work_unit_predictor_t) and lock it around reads/writes to prediction_cache
inside predict_scalar, or make the predictor/cache thread_local and ensure
bs_predictor and entries in context.work_unit_predictors are created per-thread;
update work_unit_predictor_t (prediction_cache and predict_scalar) and adjust
call sites (bs_predictor, context.work_unit_predictors) accordingly.

In `@cpp/src/utilities/work_unit_scheduler.cpp`:
- Around line 103-107: current_sync_target() and on_work_recorded() read
barrier_generation_ without synchronization while wait_at_sync_point() mutates
it under a mutex, causing a data race; fix by either acquiring the same mutex
(the mutex used in wait_at_sync_point()) around reads in current_sync_target()
and where on_work_recorded() logs barrier_generation_, or convert
barrier_generation_ to std::atomic<size_t> and use atomic reads; pick one
approach and update all read sites (current_sync_target(), on_work_recorded())
to use the chosen synchronization so reads are safe against concurrent writers.

55-56: Use PRIu64 for portable 64-bit printf formatting.

Lines 55-56 use %lu for uint64_t variables (avg_##name and median_##name), which is not portable. On Windows (LLP64 model), unsigned long is 32-bit while uint64_t is 64-bit, causing truncation. Use PRIu64 from <cinttypes> for portable formatting across all platforms.

1860-1872: Missing bounds check on fid parameter.

The fid parameter indexes into th_begin[] and th_len[] arrays (18 elements each, indices 0-17). If an invalid fid >= 18 is passed, this causes undefined behavior via out-of-bounds array access.

Consider adding a bounds check or documenting the valid range:

Proposed fix
 int dualsimplex_predictor::quantize(float val, unsigned fid)
 {
+  // fid must be in range [0, 17]
+  if (fid >= 18) { return -10; }
   const size_t offset = th_begin[fid];
cpp/src/utilities/models/cpufj_predictor/quantize.cpp-262-275 (1)

262-275: Add a defensive fid bounds check before indexing.

{
+  if (fid >= NUM_FEATURES) { return -10; }
  const size_t offset = th_begin[fid];

1256-1258: Use a fixed/explicit seed for the deterministic B&B test.

The test explicitly validates deterministic behavior (CUOPT_MODE_DETERMINISTIC is set), but uses rand() without seeding. Since srand() is not called, the default seed is implementation-defined, causing the seed value to vary across platforms and runs. This undermines the test's ability to validate determinism consistently. Use a fixed constant instead.

Proposed fix
-  int seed = rand();
+  const int seed = 12345;
   printf("Seed: %d\n", seed);

881-928: Potential division by zero in unbalancedness calculation.

On line 926, unbalancedness = nnz_stddev / mean; could produce infinity or NaN if mean is zero (which happens when sum is zero, i.e., an empty or all-zero-nnz-per-row matrix).

While n_constraints > 0 is checked, sum could still be zero if all rows have zero non-zeros (though this may be impossible by construction).

🐛 Suggested defensive fix
     nnz_stddev     = std::sqrt(variance);

cpp/tests/mip/determinism_test.cu-158-174 (1)

158-174: Add test isolation for seed_generator global state.

The seed_generator class uses a static member variable (seed_) that persists across test invocations. While this test resets the seed before each internal solve call, there is no test-level cleanup via SetUp() or TearDown(). If other tests or test instances modify the seed, or if tests run in parallel, this could cause state leakage.

For consistency with other tests in this file (e.g., reproducible_objective at line 56 uses settings.seed), consider either:

  • Using settings.seed = seed; instead of direct seed_generator::set_seed() calls
  • Adding a SetUp() method to initialize seed_generator state before each parameterized test instance

60-95: Add permutation index bounds validation to catch misuse early.

The permutation helper functions access vectors using indices from the permutation array without bounds validation. While the internal LU and basis algorithms should generate valid permutations by construction, defensive bounds checks in these low-level utilities would catch index corruption or misuse deterministically.

The std::stod call on line 191 can throw std::invalid_argument or std::out_of_range if /proc/cpuinfo contains malformed data.

The deterministic mode branch starts CPUFJ via start_cpufj_deterministic and stops it via stop_cpufj_deterministic. However, if an exception is thrown between lines 323 and 331, or if check_b_b_preemption() throws, the CPUFJ thread may not be properly stopped.

Consider using an RAII guard (similar to ls_cpufj_raii_guard_t used later in the non-deterministic path at line 375) to ensure stop_cpufj_deterministic() is called even on exceptional exit paths.

♻️ Suggested RAII pattern

Comparator lacks deterministic tie-breaking for consistent heap ordering.

The node_ptr_lower_bound_comp comparator only compares by lower_bound, but the similar backlog_node_compare_t in bb_worker_state.hpp (lines 46-58) and deterministic_node_ptr_comp in mip_node.hpp (lines 329-340) include BSP identity tuple tie-breaking (origin_worker_id, creation_seq) for determinism. This inconsistency could cause non-deterministic heap ordering when nodes have equal lower bounds.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Non‑finite pseudo‑costs skew the computed averages.

num_initialized_* is incremented even when the corresponding sum is non‑finite, which drives averages toward 0 instead of falling back to the intended default when all entries are invalid. This can change branching decisions.

The deterministic member is not initialized in the constructor.

The deterministic member (line 143) is declared but not initialized in the constructor initializer list. This leaves it with an indeterminate value (undefined behavior when read). Other boolean members like barrier are initialized in the constructor.

Remove unsafe static_cast for ins_vector type.

The static_cast<std::vector<i_t>&> at lines 204–205 and 237–238 is undefined behavior when VectorI is ins_vector<i_t> (which wraps std::vector<i_t> but does not inherit from it). The cast succeeds at compile-time but fails at runtime due to incompatible memory layout. Use the .underlying() method instead, which safely accesses the wrapped std::vector:

♻️ Suggested fix
-    auto& col_perm_vec = static_cast<std::vector<i_t>&>(col_perm);
-    auto& row_perm_vec = static_cast<std::vector<i_t>&>(row_perm);

+    auto& row_perm_vec = row_perm.underlying();

This relies on operator T& in memop_instrumentation_wrapper. for std::vector<> this will be a no-op, for ins_vector this will return the underlying. There is no "runtime failure" since this is a static_cast, not a dynamic_cast. The compilation would fail otherwise.

@aliceb-nv You're absolutely right, thank you for the clarification! I apologize for the confusion in the original review comment.

The static_cast<std::vector<i_t>&>(col_perm) is indeed well-defined:

  • When VectorI is std::vector<i_t>, it's an identity cast (no-op)
  • When VectorI is ins_vector<i_t>, the static_cast invokes the operator T&() conversion operator defined in memop_instrumentation_wrapper_t, which returns a reference to the underlying vector

This is a valid use of static_cast to invoke a user-defined conversion operator, and there's no undefined behavior. The code is correct as written.

Union member access after setting different member is undefined behavior.

When a feature is missing, data[i].missing = -1 is assigned. When present, data[i].fvalue is assigned. Later at line 57, data[i].missing != -1 is checked regardless of which member was last written. In C++, reading a union member that wasn't the last one written is undefined behavior (except for common initial sequences or type-punning through char*).

Additionally, the map is looked up twice unnecessarily (once with find, once with at).

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Hash collision can return incorrect cached predictions.

Using a 32-bit hash as the direct cache key without storing or verifying the original feature values means hash collisions will silently return incorrect cached results. This could cause subtle bugs and non-determinism.

Consider either:

  1. Storing the full feature vector alongside the cached result for verification
  2. Using a collision-resistant key (e.g., the feature vector itself via std::map)
Proposed fix using full key verification
-  auto cached_it = prediction_cache.find(key);
-  if (cached_it != prediction_cache.end()) { return cached_it->second; }
+  auto cached_it = prediction_cache.find(key);
+  if (cached_it != prediction_cache.end() && cached_it->second.first == cache_vec) {
+    return cached_it->second.second;
+  }
   // ... after prediction ...
-  prediction_cache[key] = scaled_result;
+  prediction_cache[key] = {cache_vec, scaled_result};

This requires changing the cache type to store std::pair<std::vector<float>, float>.

uses a 32-bit key from
cuopt::linear_programming::detail::compute_hash(cache_vec) to index
prediction_cache, which allows hash collisions to return wrong predictions;
change the cache to store and verify the full feature vector with each cached
value (e.g., map key -> pair<vector<float>, float> or store vector in the mapped
value) and on lookup (when computing key and finding cached_it) compare
cached_it->second's stored vector to cache_vec and only return the cached
prediction on exact match, otherwise treat as a miss and compute/store a new
entry; update any insertion logic to save the full cache_vec alongside the
prediction and adjust prediction_cache's type accordingly (alternatively change
the container to use the feature vector itself as the key).

Extremely unlikely to occur, and if it does the consequences are minor (incorrect work unit count, delayed sync). Will be reworked later in either case with the GPU determinism

@aliceb-nv Understood, thanks for the context. Given the low likelihood and minor impact, plus the upcoming GPU determinism rework, this approach sounds reasonable. I'll move on from this comment.

Guard barrier_generation_ reads against concurrent modification by writer threads.

current_sync_target() reads barrier_generation_ without synchronization while wait_at_sync_point() modifies it under mutex protection, creating a data race. This undefined behavior must be prevented. Additionally, on_work_recorded() reads barrier_generation_ directly in logging without synchronization.

Acquire the mutex before reading barrier_generation_ in current_sync_target(), or alternatively declare the member as std::atomic<size_t> if atomic semantics are intended.

enable flags in settings before calling bsp_diving_workers_->initialize. In the
block that constructs diving_types (used by bsp_diving_workers_), check each
corresponding settings flag (e.g., the settings_ flags that control pseudocost,
line-search, guided and coefficient diving) and push only enabled
bnb_worker_type_t values; if the resulting vector is empty, skip
creating/initializing bsp_diving_workers_ so BSP remains consistent with the
non-BSP behavior. Ensure you still call calculate_variable_locks(original_lp_,
var_up_locks_, var_down_locks_) only when workers are actually initialized.

manifold twice via calls to
manifold.add("A_transpose.col_start"/"A_transpose.i"/"A_transpose.x") both
before and after lp.A.transpose(A_transpose); remove the duplicate registration
so each A_transpose.* key is added only once (choose whether to register before
or after transpose and delete the other set), and apply the same
single-registration fix to the other duplicate group around the second transpose
(the block at the later occurrence). Ensure only one set of manifold.add calls
references A_transpose.col_start, A_transpose.i, and A_transpose.x.

In `@cpp/src/mip/diversity/diversity_manager.cu`:
- Around line 309-345: The current deterministic and "heuristics disabled"
branches spin on check_b_b_preemption() with no timeout and no null-B&B
fallback, which can block forever; update both loops to enforce a maximum wait
(e.g., derive from a setting or use a reasonable default) and break if the
timeout elapses, call ls.stop_cpufj_deterministic() if CPUFJ was started, and if
context.branch_and_bound_ptr is null skip waiting entirely and return
population.best_feasible() immediately; make these changes around the existing
symbols population.initialize_population(), population.allocate_solutions(),
ls.start_cpufj_deterministic(), ls.stop_cpufj_deterministic(), and
population.best_feasible() so the code never hangs waiting for B&B.

In `@cpp/src/utilities/hashing.hpp`:
- Around line 8-20: The header is missing the <cstring> include required for
std::memcpy used in compute_hash (and the device/host code paths that call it);
add `#include` <cstring> at the top of the file so std::memcpy is declared and
builds do not rely on transitive includes for functions used in compute_hash and
any other functions in this header that call memcpy.

In `@cpp/src/utilities/models/cpufj_predictor/quantize.cpp`:
- Around line 262-274: The function quantize accesses th_begin[fid],
th_len[fid], and threshold without validating fid; add a bounds check at the
start of cpufj_predictor::quantize to ensure fid is less than the size of
th_begin/th_len (e.g., num_features or th_begin.size()), and if out of range
return the same sentinel used elsewhere (e.g., -10) or handle as appropriate;
update any early-return condition that currently compares offset to a hardcoded
value (offset == 231) to instead rely on the validated offset derived from
th_begin[fid].

In `@cpp/src/utilities/producer_sync.hpp`:
- Around line 19-23: The header is missing <algorithm>, which is required for
std::find used in deregister_producer(); add `#include` <algorithm> to the
includes at the top of producer_sync.hpp so deregister_producer() (and any other
uses of std::find) will compile correctly.

In `@cpp/src/utilities/work_unit_predictor.cpp`:
- Around line 44-52: The loop currently leaves model_t::Entry::missing
uninitialized for present features causing nondeterministic behavior; in the
else branch where you set data[i].fvalue (and when features.at(...) succeeds),
also explicitly set data[i].missing = 0 (and initialize any other Entry fields
that must have deterministic defaults) so every data[i] has a defined missing
flag; update the block that references model_t::feature_names, features.at(...),
and CUOPT_LOG_WARN to set missing=0 in the present-feature path.
- Around line 62-74: prediction_cache is accessed concurrently by the static
predictor instance causing a data race; add a mutex (e.g., std::mutex
prediction_cache_mutex as a member of the predictor class) and protect all
accesses to prediction_cache with a lock (use std::lock_guard<std::mutex>
guard(prediction_cache_mutex)) around the find/return path and around the code
that assigns prediction_cache[key] = scaled_result; keep model_t::predict and
scaler_.scale_work_units calls outside the locked region if possible (or
document if they must be inside), ensuring both lookup and insertion are
synchronized to eliminate the race.

In `@cpp/src/utilities/work_unit_predictor.hpp`:
- Around line 33-38: The cpu_work_unit_scaler_t constructor uses
get_cpu_max_clock_mhz() to compute scaling_factor_, but if max_clock is 0 or
negative the result becomes INF; update the constructor (cpu_work_unit_scaler_t)
to guard against invalid readings by checking if max_clock <= 0 and in that case
set a safe fallback (e.g., set scaling_factor_ = 1.0 or use baseline_max_clock
as the divisor) and optionally log the anomaly; ensure scaling_factor_ is always
finite before storing it.
- Around line 58-60: The prediction_cache is not thread-safe; add a mutable
std::mutex member (e.g., prediction_cache_mutex) and `#include` <mutex>, then
protect all accesses to prediction_cache inside predict_scalar() with a lock

166-201: Minor: std::stod can throw on malformed input.

If /proc/cpuinfo contains a malformed "cpu MHz" line, std::stod at line 191 will throw std::invalid_argument or std::out_of_range, causing the lambda (and thus the first call to get_cpu_max_clock_mhz()) to propagate an exception.

cpp/src/dual_simplex/node_queue.hpp-62-64 (1)

62-64: The heap_t::data() method is not explicitly protected and returns an unordered buffer; however, review the architectural synchronization model.

The underlying heap buffer is indeed unordered (a partial heap structure, not sorted), and the method lacks internal locking. However, all five call sites in the codebase occur within bsp_sync_callback() or functions invoked from it—which execute after workers pause at the BSP synchronization barrier. At these points, no concurrent access is possible. If future code accesses heap_t::data() outside the BSP sync phase, explicit synchronization will be needed; ensure any new uses are either protected by a lock or documented as BSP-sync-only.

currently unconditionally populates diving_types with all four strategies;
instead, filter by the per-heuristic enable flags in settings before calling
bsp_diving_workers_->initialize. In the block that constructs diving_types (used
by bsp_diving_workers_), check each corresponding settings flag (e.g., the
settings_ flags that control pseudocost, line-search, guided and coefficient
diving) and push only enabled bnb_worker_type_t values; if the resulting vector

BSP mode drops/never repairs infeasible heuristic solutions.

set_new_solution_deterministic() enqueues infeasible solutions into repair_queue_, but process_history_and_sync() currently skips draining it (TODO is commented). That leaves stale entries and discards potentially repairable incumbents in deterministic runs.

A_transpose is registered in the manifold twice.

manifold.add("A_transpose.*", …) occurs before transpose and then again later. If instrumentation_manifold_t::add() expects unique keys, this can overwrite or double-count loads/stores and skew work-unit prediction.

@aliceb-nv, you're absolutely right. Since Entry is a union, the current code is correct.

In a union, all fields share the same memory location, so when you set data[i].fvalue for present features, the memory is initialized—even though missing would contain the reinterpreted bit pattern of the float value. The pattern used here is standard for discriminated unions:

  • Feature missing: Set data[i].missing = -1 (the discriminant value)
  • Feature present: Set data[i].fvalue = features.at(...) (the actual value)

The model's predict function likely checks if missing == -1 to determine whether to treat the entry as missing or to use the fvalue. The current implementation is correct and doesn't need the additional initialization that CodeRabbit suggested.

Add synchronization to prediction_cache in the static predictor instance.

The static predictor instance in cpp/src/dual_simplex/branch_and_bound.cpp is shared across multiple OpenMP threads (called from exploration_ramp_up() which executes within #pragma omp task and #pragma omp parallel regions). The prediction_cache is accessed and mutated without synchronization, creating a data race. Protect cache operations with a mutex or use thread-safe container. Note: The thread_local instance in cpp/src/dual_simplex/phase2.cpp is already safe.

Make prediction_cache thread‑safe.

std::unordered_map isn't safe for concurrent reads/writes. The predictor instance in branch_and_bound.cpp is declared as static and called from OpenMP parallel regions, creating a data race when multiple threads access predict_scalar() simultaneously.

Add a mutable std::mutex to guard cache access:

-#include <unordered_map>
+#include <unordered_map>
+#include <mutex>
 private:
   mutable std::unordered_map<uint32_t, float> prediction_cache;
+  mutable std::mutex prediction_cache_mutex;
   scaler_t scaler_;

Fix parameterized test seed handling to match non-parameterized tests.

The parameterized test (DeterministicBBInstanceTest, lines 169-174) calls cuopt::seed_generator::set_seed(seed) but does not set settings.seed. This causes a bug: when solve_mip() is called, settings.seed remains at its default value of -1, so the solver does not initialize the seed generator in solve.cu:171. Additionally, components like dual_simplex/phase2.cpp and feasibility_jump use settings.seed directly to initialize their random number generators, receiving -1 instead of the intended seed value.

Set settings.seed = seed; before calling solve_mip() to ensure consistent seeding across all tests, matching the approach used in non-parameterized tests (lines 71, 104).

82-111: Document that seed = -1 does not auto-generate a random seed and clarify determinism requirements.

Header documentation misleadingly claims "Use -1 to generate a random seed," but code at cpp/src/mip/solve.cu:171 only calls set_seed() when settings.seed >= 0, leaving seed_generator's static state unchanged (initialized to 0) when seed = -1. When determinism_mode == CUOPT_MODE_DETERMINISTIC with default seed = -1, the determinism contract is silently violated. Update the seed parameter documentation to clarify that -1 does not trigger random seed generation, and either add validation to prevent deterministic mode with seed = -1, or auto-override seed to a generated value when determinism is required.

!diving_types.empty() and if empty either throw a clear std::invalid_argument
(e.g., "initialize: diving_types must not be empty") or set a documented default
bnb_worker_type_t before the loop; ensure the check/run uses the symbols
initialize, diving_types, workers_, and bnb_worker_type_t so the fix is applied
right before the for-loop that currently does i % diving_types.size().
- Around line 173-186: reset_for_horizon currently updates events.horizon_start
and events.horizon_end but not the worker state's member variables horizon_start
and horizon_end, leaving them stale until set_snapshots() runs; modify
reset_for_horizon to assign the incoming horizon_start and horizon_end
parameters to the class members (horizon_start and horizon_end) in addition to
setting events.horizon_start/events.horizon_end so state is synchronized
immediately (keep other resets like event_sequence, clock, and work_context
changes intact).

In `@cpp/src/dual_simplex/branch_and_bound.cpp`:
- Around line 1968-1984: total_thread_count currently adds num_diving_workers
even when bsp_diving_workers_ may be null, causing a null deref in the else
branch; compute the actual diving count from bsp_diving_workers_ (e.g.,
actual_diving_count = bsp_diving_workers_ ? bsp_diving_workers_->size() : 0),
use total_thread_count = num_bfs_workers + actual_diving_count, and in the
parallel region guard the diving path by checking diving_id <
actual_diving_count (or only spawn diving threads when actual_diving_count > 0)
before accessing bsp_diving_workers_ and calling run_diving_worker_loop; update
references to thread_id, num_bfs_workers, diving_id, bsp_diving_workers_,
run_diving_worker_loop and total_thread_count accordingly.

In `@cpp/src/dual_simplex/bsp_debug.hpp`:
- Around line 253-274: log_horizon_start and several adjacent methods write to
the shared trace stringstreams without taking the mutex while log_horizon_hash
does, causing inconsistent synchronization; fix by acquiring
std::lock_guard<std::mutex> lock(mutex_) at the start of every method that
mutates trace_ss_ or timeline_events_ (e.g., log_horizon_start,
log_sync_phase_end, log_heuristic_received, log_incumbent_update and any other
trace-writing worker/manager log_* methods) so all writes use the same mutex_;
ensure the lock surrounds trace_ss_ writes and
timeline_events_.clear()/mutations to guarantee consistent thread-safety.

In `@cpp/src/dual_simplex/diving_heuristics.hpp`:
- Around line 114-120: The code computes down_dist and up_dist by accessing
incumbent[j] without bounds checking; mirror the defensive pattern used in
pseudocost_diving_from_arrays by using a conditional fallback when j is out of
range (e.g., use solution[j] if j >= incumbent.size()). Update the loop in
diving_heuristics.hpp where fractional is iterated (variables: solution,
incumbent, fractional, f_down, f_up, down_dist, up_dist, rounding_direction_t,
eps) to compute a safe root_val or incumbent_val with the ternary check before
computing distances, then use that value in down_dist and up_dist calculations
so the rounding_direction_t decision is robust.

In `@cpp/src/mip/feasibility_jump/fj_cpu.cu`:
- Around line 396-401: The bandwidth calculation can divide by zero when
time_window_ms is 0; modify the computation around mem_bandwidth_gb_per_sec to
guard the denominator by checking time_window_ms (used to compute
mem_bandwidth_gb_per_sec) and either skip/assign a sentinel (e.g., 0.0) when
time_window_ms <= 0 or clamp it to a small epsilon before dividing; update the
block that computes mem_loads_mb, mem_stores_mb, mem_total_mb and
mem_bandwidth_gb_per_sec so mem_bandwidth_gb_per_sec is only computed with a
safe non‑zero window.
- Around line 284-341: precompute_problem_features currently divides by n_vars
and n_cstrs producing NaN for zero-dimension models; update
precompute_problem_features to guard all divisions and statistics by checking
n_vars>0 and n_cstrs>0 (use 0/defaults when counts are zero). Specifically,
ensure avg_var_degree, var_degree_cv, var_degree_std, max_var_degree,
var_degrees population and the variance loop are skipped or set to 0 when
n_vars==0, and likewise avg_cstr_degree, cstr_degree_cv, cstr_degree_std,
max_cstr_degree, cstr_degrees and its variance loop are skipped or set to 0 when
n_cstrs==0; finally compute problem_density only when both n_vars>0 and
n_cstrs>0 (otherwise set to 0). Target the function precompute_problem_features
and fields on fj_cpu (avg_var_degree, var_degree_cv, avg_cstr_degree,
cstr_degree_cv, problem_density, max_var_degree, max_cstr_degree) when applying
these guards.

In `@cpp/src/mip/problem/problem_helpers.cuh`:
- Around line 359-361: The early return on zero nnz currently bypasses CSR
validation; move or invoke check_csr_representation (or the CSR validation call
present in this translation unit) before returning when values.size() == 0 so
malformed offsets/indices are caught; specifically, in the function containing
the if (values.size() == 0) { return; } check, call
check_csr_representation(offsets, indices, values) (or the existing validation
helper that inspects offsets/indices) and only return after that validation
succeeds.

In `@cpp/src/mip/problem/problem.cu`:
- Around line 881-927: In compute_auxiliary_data(), guard the unbalancedness
computation against division by zero: after computing mean (from nnz and
n_constraints) check if mean is > 0 (or sufficiently > epsilon) before computing
unbalancedness = nnz_stddev / mean; if mean is zero (or nearly zero) set
unbalancedness to 0 (or a defined fallback) so nnz == 0 or zero-mean rows don't
produce NaN/inf for unbalancedness. Ensure this logic is applied where
nnz_stddev and mean are used (symbols: compute_auxiliary_data, nnz_stddev,
unbalancedness, mean, n_constraints, nnz).
- Around line 1635-1639: The static debug counters total_time_taken and
total_calls in get_problem_after_fixing_vars() are updated concurrently and
cause a data race; protect their updates by switching to a thread-safe mechanism
(e.g., std::atomic for total_calls and either std::atomic<double> or a mutex) or
add a static std::mutex and lock_guard around the increments and accumulation
before the CUOPT_LOG_TRACE call; update references to these symbols
(total_time_taken, total_calls) accordingly so their modification is
synchronized across threads.

In `@cpp/src/mip/solver.cu`:
- Around line 171-184: branch_and_bound_settings currently uses
timer_.remaining_time() which is wall‑clock based and breaks determinism when
context.settings.determinism_mode == CUOPT_MODE_DETERMINISTIC; change the logic
in the block that sets branch_and_bound_settings.time_limit so that when
determinism is requested you set a fixed deterministic limit (e.g., call
get_time_limit() or a dedicated deterministic_time_limit) or disable the time
limit (set to infinity) instead of timer_.remaining_time(); update references to
timer_.remaining_time(), branch_and_bound_settings.time_limit, and
context.settings.determinism_mode to implement this deterministic behavior.

In `@cpp/src/utilities/hashing.hpp`:
- Around line 29-44: compute_hash is marked __host__ __device__ but calls
std::memcpy (not available on device); remove the memcpy and compute the hash by
reading the bytes of val directly in a device-safe way (e.g., replace the
byte_contents + std::memcpy usage with a loop over reinterpret_cast<const
uint8_t*>(&val)[i] or otherwise directly combine byte extraction with the
hashing loop). Update compute_hash to avoid any std::memcpy or other host-only
APIs and iterate sizeof(i_t) bytes from val for the XOR/multiply steps.

In `@cpp/src/utilities/memory_instrumentation.hpp`:
- Around line 52-93: The mutable counters byte_loads and byte_stores on
memory_instrumentation_base_t are updated from const methods (reset_counters,
record_load, record_store, record_rmw) and cause data races in multithreaded
use; make them thread-safe by changing their type to std::atomic<size_t> and
update reset_counters, record_load, record_store, and record_rmw to use atomic
operations (e.g., store/fetch_add) accordingly, or alternatively document that
instrumentation is single-threaded if you choose not to change the types.

In `@cpp/src/utilities/version_info.cpp`:
- Around line 166-201: In get_cpu_max_clock_mhz() the std::stod call inside the
thread_local cached lambda can throw std::invalid_argument or std::out_of_range
during static initialization; wrap the parsing of the substring (the value after
the ':' in the "cpu MHz" line) in a try/catch that catches those exceptions (and
any std::exception as a fallback), skip malformed entries (or treat them as
zero) and continue scanning, and ensure the lambda returns 0.0 on error so
cached_mhz remains valid; update the parsing block around std::stod to trim
whitespace, check for empty substrings before calling std::stod, and catch
exceptions to avoid aborting initialization in get_cpu_max_clock_mhz().

In `@cpp/src/utilities/work_limit_timer.hpp`:
- Around line 133-140: elapsed_time() can dereference work_context when
deterministic is true; update the function to check work_context before using it
(e.g., if (deterministic && work_context) return
work_context->global_work_units_elapsed - work_units_at_start; else return
timer.elapsed_time() or a safe default) so it matches the null-checking behavior
used in check_limit() and remaining_units(); adjust to use the same fallback
behavior those methods use to avoid null-pointer access.

In `@cpp/src/utilities/work_unit_scheduler.cpp`:
- Around line 43-55: The barrier can deadlock when a context is removed while
others are waiting; change the barrier logic in work_unit_scheduler_t so waiting
threads wake when the remaining participant count matches contexts_at_barrier_.
Specifically: update the wait predicate that currently checks
"barrier_generation_ != my_generation || stopped_.load()" to also return true
when "contexts_at_barrier_ == contexts_.size()"; and in
work_unit_scheduler_t::deregister_context (and any code that mutates contexts_)
after erasing the context do a cv_.notify_all() and, if contexts_at_barrier_ ==
contexts_.size(), increment barrier_generation_ (or otherwise advance the
barrier) so the predicate becomes true for sleepers. Reference symbols:
work_unit_scheduler_t::deregister_context, contexts_, contexts_at_barrier_,
barrier_generation_, stopped_, cv_.notify_all().

In `@cpp/tests/mip/determinism_test.cu`:
- Around line 168-175: Remove the redundant explicit calls to
cuopt::seed_generator::set_seed(seed) before each solve; settings.seed is
already set (settings.seed = seed) and solve_mip(&handle_, problem, settings)
will internally call seed_generator::set_seed(settings.seed) when settings.seed
>= 0, so delete the extra cuopt::seed_generator::set_seed(seed) invocations
around the three calls to solve_mip to rely on the solver's internal seeding and
keep the test deterministic.

38-77: Thread safety concern for static predictor instances remains unaddressed.

Per past review, the static predictor instance in branch_and_bound.cpp is shared across OpenMP threads without synchronization. While the caching code is currently commented out (lines 54-63, 73), the predict_scalar method itself should be thread-safe since model_t::predict appears to be stateless. However, if caching is re-enabled, synchronization will be required.

62-63: Document data() lifetime/thread-safety expectations.

cpp/src/dual_simplex/vector_math.hpp (1)

86-95: Consider constraining VectorI_out to require resize() support.

The inverse_permutation function calls pinv.resize(n) on line 90, which assumes VectorI_out supports this operation. If used with a fixed-size array or span, this will fail at compile time with an unclear error.

Consider adding a static assertion or documenting the requirement:

static_assert(requires { pinv.resize(n); }, "VectorI_out must support resize()");

Or alternatively, require the caller to pre-size the output and use an assertion like the other functions.

cpp/src/dual_simplex/dual_simplex_features.hpp (1)

119-148: Consider using conditional compilation for debug logging.

The log_features() method has all its printf code commented out. Since #define CUOPT_DEBUG_WORK_PREDICTION exists at line 18, consider wrapping the logging code with that macro instead of commenting it out:

void log_features(const simplex_solver_settings_t<i_t, f_t>& /* settings */) const

35-79: Guard scheduler state from unsynchronized writes

cpp/src/dual_simplex/solve.cpp (1)

193-205: Consider clarifying the NVTX scope name for Phase 1.

The scope is named "DualSimplex::phase2" because it calls dual_phase2(), but contextually this is Phase 1 of the simplex method (finding a dual-feasible solution). While technically accurate for the function name, consider "DualSimplex::phase1_dual" or similar to avoid confusion when reading traces.

cpp/tests/linear_programming/c_api_tests/c_api_test.c (2)

1256-1257: Consider documenting or seeding rand() behavior.

rand() without prior srand() seeding will produce the same sequence on each program invocation (typically starts from seed 1). If this is intentional for reproducible test runs, consider adding a comment. Otherwise, consider seeding with srand(time(NULL)) or accepting the seed as a parameter.


1310-1318: Add a clarifying comment about why exact equality is required for determinism testing.

The exact equality check is appropriate for validating determinism—bitwise-identical results are the defining feature being tested. Since the code explicitly enables CUOPT_MODE_DETERMINISTIC, this comparison is intentional and correct.

A brief comment explaining that exact equality is required (not a tolerance-worthy comparison) would prevent future developers from misinterpreting the logic:

/* Determinism mode guarantees bitwise-identical results; exact equality is required */
if (first_objective != objective) {
  // ...
}

Note: Tolerance-based comparisons would be inappropriate here, as they would weaken the determinism test itself.

311-321: Consider epsilon comparison for floating-point lower_bound.

The comparator uses direct inequality (a.lower_bound != b.lower_bound) for floating-point comparison. While this is typical for priority queues (where exact bit equality determines ordering), if lower_bound values are computed via different paths, slight floating-point differences could cause non-deterministic ordering.

For BSP determinism, this should be acceptable since bounds are computed identically across runs, but worth noting if issues arise.

right_looking_lu uses the VectorI template for q and pinv, but right_looking_lu_row_permutation_only uses hardcoded std::vector<i_t>&.

Prevent null deref when diving heuristics are disabled.

total_thread_count uses num_diving_workers even if bsp_diving_workers_ was never created (e.g., all diving heuristics disabled). The else branch then dereferences a null bsp_diving_workers_. Use the actual diving worker count and guard the else path.

Thread safety concern: mutable counters without synchronization.

The byte_loads and byte_stores counters (lines 75-76) are mutable and updated from const methods without synchronization. If an instrumented container is accessed from multiple threads concurrently, this creates data races.

Consider using std::atomic<size_t> if thread-safe instrumentation is required, or document that instrumentation is single-threaded only.

🔧 Suggested fix for thread-safe counters

-  mutable size_t byte_stores{0};
+  mutable std::atomic<size_t> byte_loads{0};

Note: This would require updating reset_counters(), record_load(), etc. to use atomic operations.

Guard against parsing exceptions in get_cpu_max_clock_mhz.

The std::stod call at line 191 can throw std::invalid_argument or std::out_of_range if the parsed string is malformed. While this function is only called once per thread (due to thread_local static caching), an uncaught exception during initialization could prevent the solver from starting. The return value of 0.0 is already handled safely by the caller with a ternary operator check.

Potential null pointer dereference in deterministic elapsed_time().

When deterministic is true but work_context is nullptr (e.g., default-constructed then flag set), line 136 will dereference a null pointer. Other methods like check_limit() and remaining_units() guard against this, but elapsed_time() does not.

Deadlock race condition during context deregistration at barrier.

The barrier synchronization has a critical flaw. If a context is deregistered while others are blocked waiting at a barrier, the waiting threads can permanently deadlock:

  1. Threads A and B increment contexts_at_barrier_ and sleep on the predicate barrier_generation_ != my_generation || stopped_.load() (line 146), waiting for all contexts to arrive.
  2. If a third context C is deregistered before arriving, contexts_.erase() reduces contexts_.size() while A and B are sleeping.
  3. cv_.notify_all() wakes A and B, but their predicate condition remains false (barrier_generation hasn't changed).
  4. A and B re-sleep, now trapped: contexts_at_barrier_ == contexts_.size() (both 2), yet no code path can wake them because the barrier increment at line 129 is never reached by sleeping threads.

The wait predicate should account for deregistration by checking contexts_at_barrier_ == contexts_.size(), or deregistration must be prevented/delayed until no context is at a barrier.

In `@cpp/src/utilities/work_unit_scheduler.cpp` around lines 43 - 55, The barrier
can deadlock when a context is removed while others are waiting; change the
barrier logic in work_unit_scheduler_t so waiting threads wake when the
remaining participant count matches contexts_at_barrier_. Specifically: update
the wait predicate that currently checks "barrier_generation_ != my_generation
|| stopped_.load()" to also return true when "contexts_at_barrier_ ==
contexts_.size()"; and in work_unit_scheduler_t::deregister_context (and any
code that mutates contexts_) after erasing the context do a cv_.notify_all()
and, if contexts_at_barrier_ == contexts_.size(), increment barrier_generation_
(or otherwise advance the barrier) so the predicate becomes true for sleepers.
Reference symbols: work_unit_scheduler_t::deregister_context, contexts_,
contexts_at_barrier_, barrier_generation_, stopped_, cv_.notify_all().

In `@cpp/tests/mip/determinism_test.cu`:
- Around line 101-102: The stray standalone semicolon after the seed
initialization (the line following "auto seed = std::random_device{}() &
0x7fffffff;") should be removed; edit the determinism_test.cu snippet so only
the seed assignment remains (remove the extra ";" on the next line) to eliminate
the redundant no-op.
- Around line 159-160: There is a stray standalone semicolon after the seed
initialization (the line with "auto seed = std::random_device{}() &
0x7fffffff;"); remove the extra ";" on the following line so only the variable
initialization statement remains (keep the declaration `seed` as-is and delete
the redundant semicolon).

cpp/src/mip/solver.cu (1)

171-184: Wall-clock time_limit in deterministic mode.

Line 172 still uses timer_.remaining_time() for time_limit even in deterministic mode. This was flagged in a previous review. The work_limit (lines 180-184) provides deterministic termination, but if time limit triggers first, it could introduce run-to-run variance.

cpp/src/dual_simplex/branch_and_bound.cpp (2)

1968-1984: Thread count still uses settings value instead of actual diving worker count.

The total_thread_count calculation uses num_diving_workers from settings even though bsp_diving_workers_ might be null (when all diving heuristics are disabled but num_diving_workers > 0). The correct actual_diving_workers is computed at line 1916 for logging but not used here. This can cause null pointer dereference in the else branch.


2728-2760: Repair queue processing is disabled (TODO) - dead code present.

The repair queue drain logic is commented out, leaving to_repair always empty. The subsequent sort and iteration loop (lines 2739-2758) execute but do nothing. Either implement the repair queue support or remove the dead code block.

cpp/tests/mip/determinism_test.cu (1)

170-175: Redundant seed_generator::set_seed calls before each solve.

Since settings.seed = seed is set on line 168 and solve_mip internally calls seed_generator::set_seed(settings.seed) when settings.seed >= 0, the explicit calls on lines 170, 172, and 174 are redundant. The solver will reset the seed generator to the same value on each invocation.

🧹 Nitpick comments (2)
cpp/src/mip/solver.cu (2)

26-26: Verify <cmath> is needed.

std::numeric_limits<f_t>::infinity() (line 183) comes from <limits>, not <cmath>. If <cmath> isn't used elsewhere in this file, consider removing it or replacing with the correct header if needed.


246-246: Remove commented-out debug code.

The commented-out verbose flag is a debug artifact. Consider removing it or controlling verbosity through a proper debug setting.

♻️ Suggested cleanup
     context.work_unit_scheduler_.register_context(branch_and_bound->get_work_unit_context());
-    // context.work_unit_scheduler_.verbose = true;

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Remove stray semicolon.

Line 102 contains a standalone semicolon that appears to be a copy-paste artifact.

Proposed fix
   auto seed = std::random_device{}() & 0x7fffffff;
