Description

Label unscale and postsolve steps separately when they run. Evaluate and log final residuals on the original single-GPU LP/QP model, with separate L2 row and variable-bound violations. Report the dual residual using sign-projected copies of the multipliers and show the projection distance. Mark missing dual statistics unavailable.

Add a final status line with an independently evaluated original-model primal objective for Optimal results, or NaN otherwise. Measure total wall time through postsolve and diagnostics, including pending stream work. Preserve the existing iteration log frequency.

Document the formulas and add hand-computable checks and end-to-end logging tests. Preserve returned vectors, API fields and solver status.

Issue

Addresses the logging part of section 1 of #2319.

Explain Change →

Walkthrough

The change adds original-model primal and dual quality metrics and final-status logging to eligible LP and QCQP solve paths. It also documents the metric and reporting rules and adds tests for calculations, logging, and presolve outcomes.

Changes: Postsolve reporting

Layer / File(s) Summary
Original-model quality calculation
cpp/src/pdlp/postsolve_quality.cuh, cpp/docs/postsolve_quality.md, cpp/tests/linear_programming/unit_tests/postsolve_quality_test.cu
Adds row and variable-bound violations, relative primal residuals, and projected-dual metrics. The documentation describes the residual conventions. Tests cover metric calculations and invalid interval values.
Quality and final-status reporting
cpp/src/pdlp/postsolve_quality.cuh, cpp/src/pdlp/solve.cu, cpp/docs/postsolve_quality.md, cpp/tests/linear_programming/CMakeLists.txt, cpp/tests/linear_programming/unit_tests/postsolve_quality_test.cu
Adds quality and final-status output to eligible LP and QCQP solve paths, including selected presolve-terminal and crossing-bounds returns. Tests check log contents, ordering, objective, iteration count, and timing.

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

Change: Feature

Suggested reviewers: bubullzz, rg20, iroy30

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 5bb9d

With logging enabled, a model that omits variable bounds can trigger an out-of-bounds read in the new residual diagnostics after the solve completes, which risks a crash or garbage metrics. Separately, a rare memory failure inside the diagnostics could turn a successful solve into an error result. Fix the default-bounds handling before merging, and ideally contain diagnostic failures so they cannot affect the returned solution.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to 5bb9d

The change primarily adds numerical diagnostics without expanding privileges or introducing a new production entrypoint. However, diagnostic allocation failures can prevent an already-computed solution from being returned. This is a limited failure-containment risk, not a verified security vulnerability.

Retained concerns

  • Low · reliability · inferred: Default-enabled postsolve diagnostics allocate host and device storage before returning a computed solution. A host allocation failure enters the outer solver handler and replaces that result with an error solution. Thus diagnostic resource requirements can alter externally visible solve outcomes rather than remaining isolated from solver success.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The demonstrated resource impact is additional model-sized allocations and GPU work during an existing solve invocation. The inspected evidence does not establish remote reachability, cross-tenant effects, or authority beyond that invocation.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The diagnostic sparse-product helper sets DEVICE pointer mode and the model handle's stream. Existing PDLP sparse-view initialization already establishes DEVICE pointer mode, so the observed setting is consistent with that existing invariant rather than a new authority transition.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: final original-model residual logging after solution recovery. The changeset adds postsolve quality diagnostics (primal violations, projected dual residuals) and final-status logging in solve.cu and postsolve_quality.cuh, so the title matches the primary change. It is a single, specific sentence of 6 words with no file lists or vague terms.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description states that it labels unscale and postsolve steps, evaluates and logs original-model residuals with L2 row and variable-bound violations, reports the sign-projected dual residual, adds a final status line with an objective for Optimal results, and measures wall time. These match the changeset files (postsolve_quality.cuh, solve.cu, tests, and docs). It also links to a related issue. The description is specific and on-topic.

Apply solver defaults before indexing variable bounds.

When a caller omits variable bounds, validation accepts the empty vectors, and the host getters return empty vectors. The solver applies default bounds of zero and positive infinity in its internal representation, not in the original model. See problem_checking.cu, Lines 192–211; optimization_problem.cu, Lines 692–708; and problem_helpers.cuh, Lines 51–76. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

With presolve disabled and logging enabled, a completed solve reaches lower[col] and upper[col] here and reads outside those vectors. Materialize the default bounds before this loop and reuse them for multiplier projection. Add a regression case that omits both bound setters.

Preserve the completed solution when diagnostic allocation fails.

If an allocation in evaluate_postsolve_quality throws std::bad_alloc, the enclosing handler discards the completed solution and returns a memory-allocation error. The final objective evaluator also allocates host vectors inside this exception scope. The same failure mechanism applies to the QCQP and presolve-complete reporting calls. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Handle recoverable diagnostic allocation failures separately. Report unavailable statistics and retain the completed solution. Apply this protection to both quality and final-objective evaluation.

The PR objective requires diagnostics to preserve returned vectors, API fields, and solver status.
