📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CPU feasibility-jump climber now supports probing-cache-assisted binary 2-opt moves. It adds related-variable storage, bounded pair scoring, persistent RNG usage, updated climber creation APIs, and probing-cache propagation through local-search climbers.

Changes

Feasibility-jump binary 2-opt

Layer / File(s) Summary
Climber contracts and storage
cpp/src/mip_heuristics/feasibility_jump/feasibility_jump.cuh, cpp/src/mip_heuristics/feasibility_jump/fj_cpu.cuh
Adds two-opt limits, probing-cache declarations, related-variable storage, binary-row data, original-ID mappings, RNG state, and reusable two-opt buffers.
Binary 2-opt scoring and search
cpp/src/mip_heuristics/feasibility_jump/fj_cpu.cu, cpp/src/mip_heuristics/feasibility_jump/feasibility_jump_impl_common.cuh
Adds binary partner discovery, combined move scoring, bounded local-minimum pair search, strict worsening comparisons, and positive pair application.
Runtime initialization and search state
cpp/src/mip_heuristics/feasibility_jump/fj_cpu.cu
Forwards probing caches, initializes binary-row data, seeds the persistent RNG, and passes a null cache for standalone initialization.
Local-search climber integration
cpp/src/mip_heuristics/local_search/local_search.cu, cpp/src/mip_heuristics/presolve/probing_cache.cuh
Passes probing caches to all CPU feasibility-jump climbers, validates scratch climber creation during shutdown, and makes fill_cache_hits const-qualified.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to c296e

The PR adds a binary 2-opt move using probing-cache data. A localized shutdown path may dereference an uninitialized scratch worker under low OpenMP thread counts, but this is a bounded follow-up and no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

153-157: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Skip null scratch climbers instead of asserting.

cuopt_assert is removed in release builds, so cpu_fj->halted still dereferences a null unique_ptr there. start_cpufj_scratch_threads returns early and leaves the entries null when omp_get_num_threads() is below CUOPT_MIP_FJ_REQUIRED_THREAD_COUNT. The guard at line 151 re-reads the thread count at shutdown, so the start and stop decisions can disagree if the two calls run in different parallel regions. Use a runtime check.

♻️ Proposed guard
   for (auto& cpu_fj : scratch_cpu_fj) {
-    cuopt_assert(cpu_fj != nullptr, "scratch climbers must have been created");
-    cpu_fj->halted = true;
+    if (!cpu_fj) { continue; }
+    cpu_fj->halted = true;
   }

Note that the taskwait loop at lines 157-159 dereferences the same pointers, so it needs the same treatment if null entries are reachable.

Update the scratch-climber shutdown logic around start_cpufj_scratch_threads to
use runtime null checks instead of relying on cuopt_assert before dereferencing
cpu_fj. Apply the same guard to the subsequent taskwait loop so null entries
remain safe when startup returned early or thread counts differ between regions,
while preserving halted assignment and task waiting for non-null climbers.
