The gRPC worker built its GPU problem directly and called the base solve_lp overload, which has no multi-GPU dispatch at all. This routes run_lp_solve through the mps_data_model_t overload when multi-GPU PDLP is requested (method=PDLP, num_gpus -1 or >1), via a shared is_mpdlp_requested predicate, and adds multigpu_pdlp_partitioner to the gRPC field registry directly (no separate alias; num_gpus was already present).

Verified: all 93 GRPC_CLIENT_TEST cases pass locally, including a new dispatch-decision regression test and the extended PDLPSettingsAllFields round trip.

Related to #1931, rebuilt from scratch now that #1984 renamed the underlying constants.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR updates PDLP partitioner wire conversion, centralizes distributed-PDLP detection, routes eligible solves through the distributed overload, and adds gRPC round-trip and dispatch tests.

Changes

Distributed PDLP support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Distributed PDLP settings contract
cpp/src/grpc/codegen/field_registry.yaml, cpp/tests/linear_programming/grpc/grpc_client_test.cpp
The partitioner field uses integer wire values with conversion to distributed_pdlp_partitioner_t. Tests verify distributed mode and the RoundRobin partitioner.
Distributed solve routing
cpp/include/cuopt/mathematical_optimization/solve.hpp, cpp/src/pdlp/solve.cu, cpp/src/grpc/server/grpc_worker.cpp
is_distributed_pdlp_requested detects explicit distributed mode and eligible PDLP GPU settings. Solve entry points use the helper and select the MPS or GPU-problem overload.
Distributed dispatch validation
cpp/tests/linear_programming/grpc/grpc_client_test.cpp
Tests verify dispatch for explicit distributed mode and multi-GPU PDLP settings. They also verify that default settings, single-GPU PDLP, and non-PDLP methods do not use distributed dispatch.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3a16c

Distributed gRPC PDLP requests can bypass model consistency validation and pass malformed models to the distributed solver. Add validation or honor problem checking before merging.

Follow-up for consistency with the enum-vs-int discussion on #1957/#1961: dropped the DistributedPDLPPartitioner proto enum here too, now int32 matching the existing presolver/barrier_dual_initial_point pattern (less generated code, no dedicated converter pair).

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Preserve problem_checking for distributed MPS solves.

When this branch selects distributed PDLP, it calls solve_lp_distributed_from_mps without problem_checking. The distributed helper does not perform the problem_checking_t validation used by the base overload. With presolver_t::None, a caller using the documented default problem_checking=true sends an unchecked MPS model to pdlp_solver_t. Invalid models can then fail later or produce invalid behavior instead of being rejected at the validation boundary.

Thread this flag through the distributed path and perform equivalent MPS validation before solving.

Re: the "preserve problem_checking for distributed MPS solves" finding from CodeRabbit's latest review — that's a real gap, but it's pre-existing on main (the solve_lp_distributed_from_mps call never took problem_checking before this PR touched that code either; I only replaced the two-branch condition with is_distributed_pdlp_requested, the call itself is unchanged). Fixing it properly means implementing MPS-level problem validation for the distributed path, which doesn't exist today and is a separate feature-sized change, not a gRPC-server fix. Leaving it out of scope here; worth its own follow-up issue.

Validate the model before distributed dispatch.

to_optimization_problem only copies the CPU fields to GPU memory. It does not validate the model. The distributed solve_lp overload also ignores its problem_checking argument and constructs pdlp_solver_t from the MPS data after optional presolve. Malformed RPC model data can therefore bypass the required consistency checks and reach the distributed solver.

Add explicit model validation or reject invalid models before this branch. Alternatively, make the distributed overload honor problem_checking.

Good catch — with 1 GPU there's nothing to partition, so RoundRobin and KaMinPar are both equivalent no-ops there; Auto just picks the cheaper one (skips KaMinPar's graph-partitioning work for no benefit). Clarified in the description.

Renamed the wire fields one more step, to the mPDLP short form directly: use_mpdlp / mpdlp_partitioner (was use_multi_gpu_pdlp / multi_gpu_pdlp_partitioner), matching #1957 and the new Java PR #1981.

Same update as #1957: dropped "(mPDLP)" from doc/comment prose, kept mpdlp in code identifiers (use_mpdlp, mpdlp_partitioner, is_mpdlp_requested).

rapids-bot Bot pushed a commit that referenced this pull request Sep 29, 2026
…ITIONER; remove CUOPT_USE_DISTRIBUTED_PDLP (#1984)

Per team naming discussion: CUOPT_DISTRIBUTED_PDLP_PARTITIONER -> CUOPT_MULTIGPU_PDLP_PARTITIONER (avoids confusion with the existing D-PDLP solver), and CUOPT_USE_DISTRIBUTED_PDLP is removed entirely since it was never meant to be user-facing (already hidden from --help). Dispatch is now purely method == PDLP && (num_gpus == -1 || num_gpus > 1); the internal use_distributed_pdlp C++ field stays as implementation bookkeeping. Also fixes the already-merged Java bindings (#1961), which referenced both constants directly.

Breaking change to the C/C++/CLI surface (introduced ~2 months ago in #1391, author-described as internal). #1957, #1962, and #1981 alias to the old names and will need a follow-up once this merges.

Fixes #1931

Rebuilt this branch from scratch off main now that #1984 merged (the old CUOPT_DISTRIBUTED_PDLP_PARTITIONER/CUOPT_USE_DISTRIBUTED_PDLP names it was built around are gone). Same design: is_mpdlp_requested routes run_lp_solve through the mps_data_model_t solve_lp overload; the partitioner is now exposed on the wire directly as multigpu_pdlp_partitioner with no separate alias, matching the real C constant. All 93 gRPC tests pass.

Looks great, thanks for the work. I think we should also have some distributed test where we call the grpc end-to-end on the multi-gpu worker and ensure everything is going well ?

I'm not sure it is neessary to explain With 1 GPU there is nothing to partition, so both strategies are equivalent no-ops; Auto picks RoundRobin there because it skips KaMinPar's graph-partitioning work for no benefit. Default: 0."

Since it will be delegated to C++ and C++ already tests this, I thought of not adding grpc test and same goes for python and java api. But let me check whether it would be easy to test this.

Trimmed, thanks.

Same fix.

SolveLPMultiGpuPDLP exercises is_multigpu_pdlp_requested routing
through a real server (method=PDLP, num_gpus=-1), skipping below 2
GPUs like the existing PDLP_MG_TEST parity test. Also drops the
no-op partitioner-strategy explanation Bulle flagged as unnecessary.

Added SolveLPMultiGpuPDLP to GRPC_INTEGRATION_TEST: submits a real job with method=PDLP, num_gpus=-1 against a live server, exercising is_multigpu_pdlp_requested end-to-end. Skips below 2 GPUs, matching PDLP_MG_TEST's convention. It's in GRPC_INTEGRATION_TEST rather than a new *_MG_TEST binary, so the dedicated 2-GPU CI job won't auto-discover it yet; that'd need extracting the server-spawn fixture into a shared header, which felt like more churn than this warranted.

GRPC_MG_TEST matches the *_MG_TEST glob ci/test_cpp_multi_gpu.sh uses
to auto-discover multi-GPU tests, so it now actually runs on that
2-GPU runner (GRPC_INTEGRATION_TEST didn't match the glob). Reuses
the existing server-spawn logic via a new shared header rather than
reimplementing process lifecycle management; grpc_integration_test.cpp
itself is untouched. Uses the ex10 dataset already downloaded by that
CI script and compares against a single-GPU baseline instead of a
hardcoded objective, mirroring PDLP_MG_TEST's parity check.

Moved the multi-GPU test into its own GRPC_MG_TEST binary, so it's now actually picked up by ci/test_cpp_multi_gpu.sh's *_MG_TEST glob (previously it was stuck in GRPC_INTEGRATION_TEST, which the multi-GPU CI job never discovers). Turns out zero CI script changes were needed: ex10 is already downloaded there, and the cuopt-grpc-server conda package already puts the server binary on PATH, which ServerProcess already falls back to. Reused the existing server-spawn logic via a new shared header instead of reimplementing process lifecycle management; grpc_integration_test.cpp itself is untouched. The test now does a single-GPU vs multi-GPU parity check on ex10 rather than a hardcoded objective value.
