📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Performance

    • Sparse reductions for QC, aggregation, highly variable gene selection, ligand–receptor analysis, mean/variance, nanmean, and sparse PCA now use shared tiled GPU processing.
    • Sparse column reductions may be 2–4× faster in supported workloads.
  • New Features

    • Added automatic handling and fallback for unsorted sparse rows.
    • Added tiled reduction planning and improved shared GPU memory management.
  • Documentation

    • Updated the 0.17.0 release notes with sparse reduction performance improvements.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d9f13

Sparse HVG results can change for NaN inputs, while malformed binding dimensions or failed retry resets can cause incorrect output or GPU failures. These issues should be addressed before merge.

Validate sparse aggregation output dimensions

All current Python callers allocate outputs as (n_groups, n_genes), but sparse_aggr does not enforce this shape. A flattened output makes shape(0) equal to n_groups * n_genes. The CSR path passes this value to build_grouped_rows; on an unsorted-row retry, AggrOp::zero_outputs then computes an oversized memset and can write past the output allocation.

Require every provided output to be 2-D, have shape(1) == n_genes, and match the shape of the other provided outputs before launching the kernel.

Check every cudaMemsetAsync status in AggrOp::zero_outputs and LigrecOp::zero_outputs. These hooks run after the first reduction pass has written output buffers. If a memset cannot be queued, ignoring its status leaves partial or stale values in those buffers while the retry continues; a later synchronization may report the error without identifying the memset. Wrap each call with cuda_check, as already done for the group-count memset.

CUDA device fmin one NaN operand behavior official documentation NumPy minimum NaN behavior

💡 Result:

In CUDA and NumPy, the behavior of minimum functions when encountering NaN operands is fundamentally different, reflecting their different goals regarding NaN propagation. CUDA Device fmin Behavior In CUDA, the fmin and fminf functions are designed to treat NaN operands as missing data [1][2]. When one operand is NaN and the other is a legitimate numeric value, the numeric value is chosen [1][2]. If both arguments are NaN, the function returns NaN [1][2]. This behavior aligns with the standard C++ fmin behavior [3]. NumPy minimum Behavior In contrast, the NumPy minimum function propagates NaNs [4][5]. If at least one of the elements being compared is NaN, the result for that element is NaN [4][5]. If both elements are NaNs, the first one is returned [4][5]. NumPy provides separate functions, such as nanmin, if you wish to ignore NaN values and perform operations analogous to the CUDA fmin behavior [6][7].

Make sparse clipping propagate NaN values.

When X.data or clip_val contains NaN, CUDA fmin returns the other operand if only one operand is NaN. Both ClipSumOp::add and ClipSumOp::add_global can therefore convert NaN to a finite clipped value. The dense path uses cp.minimum, which propagates NaN values. This makes sparse and dense results inconsistent and can change HVG selection.

Use a NaN-propagating comparison in both device paths, or reject non-finite data and clip_val before reduction.

Check both cudaMemsetAsync return values.

ClipSumOp::zero_outputs ignores both statuses, so minor_reduce can continue to its reduction launch after a reset failure. This can delay the CUDA error and, when the buffers remain usable but uncleared, make atomic additions reuse prior output values. Wrap both calls with cuda_check so the reset failure stops the reduction.

Validate sparse lengths and offsets before launching the reducers.

_hvg_cuda.clip_square_sum passes data.shape(0) as nnz to raw-pointer kernels. A shorter indices array or a CSR terminal offset beyond data can make the kernels read past an allocation. Mismatched clip_val, sq_sum, or sum lengths can also make ClipSumOp access invalid pointers.

_spca_cuda.check_zero_genes passes caller-supplied nnz to minor_reduce_flat, which reads indices[nnz_pos] without a length check. Its CSR path can likewise overrun indices when offsets are invalid, and out.shape(0) < num_genes can overrun out. MinorCountOp guards out-of-range column values in its flat atomic path, so do not rely on index-range failure as the SPCA memory-safety example.

Add shared checks for nnz, CSR rank, nonnegative monotonic offsets, and terminal offsets, with binding-specific checks for HVG buffer lengths and SPCA out.shape(0) == num_genes. Reject invalid inputs before launching either reducer.

Check both cudaMemsetAsync return values before the fallback retry. When minor_reduce detects unsorted rows, it retries after zero_outputs resets the outputs. If either reset fails, the retry can accumulate onto the first sweep's partial results and produce incorrect MeanVar or QC outputs. The ignored error can also surface later under the retry kernel label. Wrap all four calls with cuda_check(...) so the reducer stops at the reset hook.

Guard planner inputs before calling plan_tiles.

def_tile_plan passes its arguments directly to plan_tiles, which has no input guards. If n_rows == 0, nnz_per_slice can divide by zero. If bytes_per_col == 0 and the budget reaches the calculation, max_tile_cols can divide by zero. If n_cols == 0, tile_size can be zero before the n_tiles calculation.

Reject invalid inputs before calling plan_tiles.

🛡️ Proposed guard in the binding
         [](long long nnz, int n_rows, int n_cols, size_t bytes_per_col) {
+            if (n_rows <= 0 || n_cols <= 0 || nnz <= 0 || bytes_per_col == 0)
+                throw std::invalid_argument(
+                    "tile_plan requires positive nnz, n_rows, n_cols and "
+                    "bytes_per_col");
             const TilePlan p = plan_tiles(nnz, n_rows, n_cols, bytes_per_col);

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

In `@src/rapids_singlecell/_cuda/mean_var/mean_var.cu` around lines 80 - 81,
Validate the inputs in def_tile_plan before invoking plan_tiles: reject zero
n_rows, zero n_cols, and zero bytes_per_col. Ensure invalid values are rejected
before any planner calculations, while valid inputs continue through the
existing plan_tiles flow.
