Use cuda::stream_ref in benchmarks and examples by vyasr · Pull Request #23769 · NVIDIA/cudf

vyasr · 2026-08-23T02:34:43Z

Description

This split batch migrates libcudf benchmarks, examples, and developer documentation from rmm::cuda_stream_view to cuda::stream_ref.

This follows the core libcudf API migration in #23691 and is part of the first downstream wave before the central helper migration.

Replaces the closed draft #23697.

Contributes to #23636

Walkthrough

Changes

The pull request migrates CUDA stream handling from rmm::cuda_stream_view and deprecated stream accessors to cuda::stream_ref, get(), and sync(). It updates benchmark and example APIs, headers, documentation, and copyright notices.

CUDA stream migration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Benchmark stream updates `cpp/benchmarks/*`	Benchmarks use `cuda::stream_ref`, `stream.get()`, and `stream.sync()` where required.
Example API updates `cpp/examples/*`	Example functions, constructors, stored stream fields, kernel launches, and synchronization calls use the current CUDA stream API.
Documentation updates `cpp/doxygen/developer_guide/*`	Stream-related API examples and documentation use `cuda::stream_ref`.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to 25ab9

The stream API migration still leaves unsupported synchronization calls in multiple examples, causing compilation failures, while one benchmark path can use the wrong stream and memory resource. The PR is not merge-ready until these issues are corrected.

Inline comments:
In `@cpp/benchmarks/ndsh/q09.cpp`:
- Line 110: Update both intermediate cudf::binary_operation calls in the
benchmark to pass the existing stream and mr arguments, ensuring their
operations and allocations use the caller-provided execution stream and memory
resource.

In `@cpp/doxygen/developer_guide/DEVELOPER_GUIDE.md`:
- Line 563: Complete the cuda::stream_ref migration in the developer guide:
replace the remaining .value/.value() accesses and direct kernel stream
arguments near the documented locations with .get(), change cuda_stream s to
auto s initialized via cudf::get_default_stream(), and retain sync() only where
host-side completion is required.

In `@cpp/examples/billion_rows/brc_pipeline.cpp`:
- Line 50: Update the synchronization logic in chunk_fn to use a supported
no-throw path for its cuda::stream_ref stream; do not call
synchronize_no_throw() or uncaught stream.sync(), and preserve the worker
thread’s non-terminating behavior by catching or otherwise safely handling
synchronization failures.

In `@cpp/examples/hybrid_scan_io/hybrid_scan_pipeline.cpp`:
- Line 106: Replace every synchronize_no_throw() call with stream.sync() in
cpp/examples/hybrid_scan_io/hybrid_scan_pipeline.cpp at lines 106-106,
cpp/examples/parquet_io/parquet_io_multithreaded.cpp at lines 62-62, and
cpp/examples/parquet_io/parquet_io_multithreaded.cpp at lines 154-154, using the
existing cuda::stream_ref stream.

In `@cpp/examples/parquet_inspect/parquet_inspect_utils.cpp`:
- Line 117: Replace all remaining stream.synchronize() calls in
make_index_column and the related code paths at the referenced locations with
stream.sync(), using the cuda::stream_ref API.

NVBench launch get_stream state.exec launch stream documentation non-blocking CUDA stream

💡 Result:

In NVBench, the nvbench::launch::get_stream() method is used within the state.exec lambda to retrieve the CUDA stream that NVBench is using for the current benchmark execution [1][2][3]. By default, NVBench automatically manages and provides a specific CUDA stream for each benchmark [1][4]. This allows NVBench to accurately record GPU execution times for stream-ordered work [1]. The standard usage pattern is as follows [1][2]: void my_benchmark(nvbench::state& state) { state.exec([](nvbench::launch& launch) { my_kernel<<<num_blocks, 256, 0, launch.get_stream>>>; }); } NVBENCH_BENCH(my_benchmark); Regarding the "non-blocking" aspect: 1. NVBench's default stream management: NVBench creates a stream to ensure accurate, isolated timing [1][4]. 2. Custom Streams: If you need to use a specific stream (or the default CUDA stream, which is often blocking by default), you can use state.set_cuda_stream(nvbench::make_cuda_stream_view(stream)) [1][4]. 3. CUDA Synchronization: The CUDA Programming Guide notes that standard streams are blocking by default unless created with the cudaStreamNonBlocking flag [5]. If you provide a non-blocking stream to NVBench, it will operate according to standard CUDA asynchronous execution rules, where it will not implicitly synchronize with the legacy default (NULL) stream [5]. 4. NVBench Stability: NVBench employs techniques to improve GPU timing stability, which may cause deadlocks if the benchmark code itself performs explicit synchronization [6]. If your kernel or library function (e.g., Thrust algorithms) implicitly synchronizes the device, you must use the nvbench::exec_tag::sync tag in state.exec to notify NVBench and prevent these deadlocks [6]. For specialized use cases, NVBench also includes a blocking_kernel helper (used internally or for advanced timing control), though this is intended for benchmarking precision and carries strict usage requirements to avoid deadlocks [7].

CUDA legacy default stream synchronization non-blocking streams semantics official documentation

💡 Result:

In CUDA, the default stream (often referred to as stream 0 or the NULL stream) behavior is defined by its synchronization semantics, which can be configured as either the legacy default stream or the per-thread default stream [1][2][3]. Legacy Default Stream The legacy default stream is an implicit, process-wide stream that enforces strict, implicit synchronization with all other streams in the same CUDA context, with the exception of non-blocking streams [1][2]. When an operation is queued in the legacy default stream (e.g., a kernel launch or memory operation), it first waits for all currently executing blocking streams to complete [1][2]. Once the operation is queued, all other blocking streams are then required to wait for the legacy stream to finish before they can proceed [1][2]. Non-Blocking Streams Non-blocking streams are explicitly created using the cudaStreamNonBlocking flag with functions like cudaStreamCreateWithFlags [4][5]. The term non-blocking refers specifically to how these streams interact with the legacy default stream [4][6]. Unlike standard blocking streams, work launched in a non-blocking stream does not implicitly synchronize with the legacy default stream, allowing for greater concurrency [1][2]. Per-Thread Default Stream The per-thread default stream is an alternative configuration that provides each host thread with its own unique default stream [2][7]. Unlike the legacy default stream, the per-thread default stream does not perform implicit synchronization with other streams, behaving similarly to explicitly created streams [1][2]. It is important to note that the per-thread default stream is not itself a non-blocking stream; if both legacy and per-thread default streams are used within the same program, they will synchronize with each other [1][2]. Configuration The behavior of the default stream can be controlled at compile-time via the --default-stream nvcc option or by defining the CUDA_API_PER_THREAD_DEFAULT_STREAM macro before including CUDA headers [1][8]. The legacy default stream can be accessed explicitly using the cudaStreamLegacy handle, while the per-thread default stream can be accessed using cudaStreamPerThread [1][2][7].

site:github.com/NVIDIA/nvbench launch.cxx cudaStreamNonBlocking stream_pool

💡 Result:

The terms launch.cxx, cudaStreamNonBlocking, and stream_pool are components of the NVBench library, a C++17 library developed by NVIDIA for benchmarking CUDA kernels [1][2]. These elements relate to how NVBench manages CUDA streams and synchronizes work during performance measurements. NVBench uses a specific execution model to measure GPU kernels accurately. By default, it manages its own CUDA streams to capture execution times for kernels and stream-ordered operations [3][4]. Key takeaways regarding these terms include: CUDA Streams and Benchmarking: NVBench provides an nvbench::launch object that allows users to access the CUDA stream assigned to a benchmark [3][5]. While NVBench creates a managed stream by default, users can also specify their own streams using state::set_cuda_stream [3][4]. Blocking and Synchronization: To improve the precision of GPU timing, NVBench employs a technique involving a "blocking kernel" [6][7]. This is used to prevent the recording of start/stop events until all intended work is queued on the stream, reducing the impact of work-submission latencies [6]. The blocking_kernel utility is an internal mechanism for this, designed specifically for benchmarking scenarios [6]. Synchronization Hazards: The library notes that some CUDA operations (like those in Thrust) may implicitly synchronize the device [8]. If a user's code performs such synchronization inside an NVBench benchmark, it can cause deadlocks if not handled correctly. In these cases, users must pass the nvbench::exec_tag::sync tag to state::exec to inform the library of the synchronization and safely manage the benchmarking process [8]. In summary, these components are part of NVBench's internal infrastructure for managing the CUDA execution environment during benchmarks, ensuring that metrics are captured correctly while avoiding common pitfalls like deadlocks or inaccurate timing caused by host-side latencies [6][8][2].

💡 Result:

The cudaStreamNonBlocking flag is used with cudaStreamCreateWithFlags to create a CUDA stream that does not perform implicit synchronization with the default stream (stream 0) [1][2][3]. By default, streams created without this flag (or via cudaStreamCreate) are blocking, meaning they implicitly synchronize with the NULL stream (stream 0). This causes operations in different streams to be serialized if they interact with the NULL stream [3]. Using the cudaStreamNonBlocking flag allows work submitted to the new stream to execute concurrently with work on the NULL stream, as there is no implicit synchronization between them [1][3]. Example of creating a non-blocking stream: cudaStream_t stream; cudaStreamCreateWithFlags(&stream, cudaStreamNonBlocking); When using non-blocking streams, you must manage synchronization explicitly, as the system no longer guarantees the implicit ordering that blocking streams provide [3]. Using explicit synchronization, such as cudaDeviceSynchronize, is often required to ensure tasks complete as expected [3].

CCCL cuda::stream_ref sync sync_no_throw API

💡 Result:

In the CUDA Core Compute Libraries (CCCL), the cuda::stream_ref API provides the sync() method for stream synchronization, but it does not provide a sync_no_throw() method [1][2]. Key technical details regarding this API include: 1. cuda::stream_ref::sync(): This method synchronizes the wrapped CUDA stream by calling the underlying cudaStreamSynchronize() [1][2]. If the synchronization fails, it throws a cuda::cuda_error [2]. 2. Lack of sync_no_throw(): The cuda::stream_ref class does not implement a sync_no_throw() method [2]. This method name is often associated with the NVIDIA RMM (RAPIDS Memory Manager) library's cuda_stream_view class [3], which is a separate API that also provides stream management functionality. In recent migrations (such as in the cuDF library), developers have replaced RMM's stream.synchronize_no_throw() with CCCL's stream.sync() [4]. 3. Error Handling and Exceptions: CCCL often disables C++ exceptions by default [5]. Consequently, while the API documentation states that sync() may throw a cuda::cuda_error [2][6], the actual behavior in a specific build depends on whether exception support is enabled in the CCCL configuration [5]. If exceptions are disabled, methods expected to throw will typically result in program termination [5]. For codebases transitioning from RMM to CCCL, it is standard practice to use cuda::stream_ref::sync() in place of legacy no_throw synchronization methods, relying on the library's native error handling configuration [4].

RMM cuda_stream_view synchronize_no_throw implementation source

💡 Result:

The synchronize_no_throw() method in rmm::cuda_stream_view is a member function designed to synchronize the wrapped CUDA stream without throwing exceptions [1][2]. Its implementation and behavior are defined as follows: 1. Functionality: It calls cudaStreamSynchronize() on the underlying stream [1][2]. 2. Error Handling: Unlike the standard synchronize() method, which may throw an rmm::cuda_error if synchronization fails, synchronize_no_throw() is marked noexcept and is intended not to throw exceptions if an error occurs [2][3]. Instead, it is documented to assert if a synchronization error is encountered [1][4]. 3. Source Location: The declaration for this method can be found in the RMM header file include/rmm/cuda_stream_view.hpp within the rmm namespace [1][5][6]. The official RMM documentation for the cuda_stream_view class provides these details in the API reference [2][4]. You can access the source code directly via the RAPIDS RMM GitHub repository [1][7].

CCCL libcudacxx cuda::stream_ref sync synchronize_no_throw API

💡 Result:

The API synchronize_no_throw() is not a member of cuda::stream_ref in libcudacxx [1][2]. In libcudacxx, the cuda::stream_ref class provides a sync() method to synchronize the wrapped stream [1][2]. This method is designed to throw a cuda::cuda_error if the synchronization operation fails [1][3]. The confusion likely arises because a synchronize_no_throw() method exists in the NVIDIA RMM (RAPIDS Memory Manager) library within its cuda_stream and cuda_stream_view classes [4][5][6][7]. The RMM implementation of synchronize_no_throw() performs the synchronization and uses an assertion to handle errors instead of throwing an exception [4][7]. To synchronize a cuda::stream_ref in libcudacxx, you should use the sync() member function: cpp cuda::stream_ref stream{my_stream}; try { stream.sync(); } catch (const cuda::cuda_error& e) { // Handle synchronization error } Top results: [1], [2], [4], [7]

cuda::stream_ref synchronize sync API libcudacxx

💡 Result:

In libcudacxx, the cuda::stream_ref class provides a sync member function to synchronize the wrapped CUDA stream [1][2]. Calling ref.sync on a cuda::stream_ref object is the standard way to block the host thread until all work previously submitted to the underlying cudaStream_t has completed [1][2]. This method internally invokes the CUDA Runtime API function cudaStreamSynchronize [1][3]. If the synchronization operation fails, it throws a cuda::cuda_error [2][4]. Key details regarding this API: - Function Signature: void sync const [2][5] - Header: <cuda/stream> [1] - Purpose: Blocks the calling host thread until all tasks in the associated stream have finished executing [1][3]. - Legacy note: Older versions or previous documentation may have used a wait method for this purpose, which is now deprecated in favor of sync [2]. Example usage: #include <cuda/stream> cudaStream_t stream; cudaStreamCreate(&stream); cuda::stream_ref ref{stream}; // Synchronize the stream ref.sync; cudaStreamDestroy(stream);
