Description

A part of #20780.

Equality and hash preprocessed_table paths still allocated temps from the current device resource, so harness-based tests could not prove explicit MR routing. This change requires cudf::memory_resources on those APIs and updates callers accordingly.

  • Equality/hash preprocessed_table::create, self_comparator, two_table_comparator, and row_hasher take required mr and use mr.get_temporary_mr() for preprocessing temps
  • Call sites across join/groupby/hash/search/reductions/etc. pass an explicit mr
  • Switch to BaseFixtureWithHarness and convert row-operator tests to use harness stream()/resources(), with TODOs where lexicographic still falls back to the current resource
  • If a callsite introduces a auto temp_mr = get_current_resource_ref(), it replaces all get_current_resouce_ref() calls with temp_mr in that function scope.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved consistency of temporary GPU memory allocation across joins, hashing, grouping, sorting, reductions, distinct operations, and table comparisons.
    • Better honors configured device memory resources, reducing unexpected use of default allocation resources.
    • Preserved existing hashing, matching, comparison, encoding, and aggregation results.
  • Tests

    • Updated row-operation tests to use explicit CUDA streams and memory resources while maintaining existing coverage and expected results.

Walkthrough

The change makes temporary device memory resources explicit across row operators and their production call sites. Related tests now pass fixture streams and memory-resource configurations for allocations and execution.

Changes

Memory resource propagation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Row-operator resource contracts
cpp/include/cudf/detail/row_operator/*, cpp/src/row_operator/row_operators.cu
Row preprocessing, hashing, and equality comparators now accept explicit temporary memory resources.
Hashing, dictionary, and groupby integration
cpp/src/binaryop/..., cpp/src/dictionary/..., cpp/src/groupby/..., cpp/src/hash/...
These paths cache or pass the current device memory resource to row operations, allocators, temporary buffers, and execution policies.
Join and partition integration
cpp/src/join/..., cpp/src/partitioning/partitioning.cu
Join preprocessing, probe buffers, partition buffers, allocators, and scans now use explicit device resources.
Reduction, search, and transformation integration
cpp/src/reductions/..., cpp/src/search/..., cpp/src/sort/..., cpp/src/stream_compaction/..., cpp/src/table/..., cpp/src/transform/...
Reduction, search, sorting, compaction, table comparison, containment, and encoding paths now reuse explicit device resources.
Resource-aware row-operator tests
cpp/tests/row_operator/*, cpp/tests/utilities/*
Row-operator helpers and tests now use fixture-provided streams and memory resources for construction, execution, allocation, and assertions.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7ba79

Some equality and hash-related paths can still allocate temporary intermediates from the wrong device memory resource instead of the explicitly supplied resource, which may break caller-controlled allocation behavior. The PR needs follow-up or explicit owner acceptance before merge.

Yes, I will add it. I think using temp_mr is the right choice here because this column is transient.

Propagate cudf::memory_resources through compute_row_frequencies and its callers. The current mr is an rmm::device_async_resource_ref, which has no get_temporary_mr(); use the cudf::memory_resources contract so preprocessing and intermediate allocations use mr.get_temporary_mr() and returned allocations use mr.get_output_mr(). Add regression coverage with distinct output and temporary resources, including Thrust and cuco::static_set, plus a representative benchmark.

This will be done later on once all API calls in histogram.cu is moved to memory_resources

@nirandaperera, acknowledged. This change depends on the remaining histogram.cu API migration to cudf::memory_resources.

I will keep this finding open until that migration is complete. Would you like me to create a follow-up GitHub issue for the deferred resource propagation?

Learning: In `cpp/src/reductions/histogram.cu`, migration of `compute_row_frequencies` and its callers from `rmm::device_async_resource_ref` to `cudf::memory_resources` is deferred until all relevant APIs in that file support the `cudf::memory_resources` contract.

another get_current_device_resource_ref lookup, keeping the temporary scalar
allocation on the same resource as the other operations.
