We use vectorized loads in a lot of places in CUB. However, the machinery used was not really suited to current improvements, such as wider vectorized loads and also alignment issues.

This unifies that machinery in a single type that ensures that we can use the widest possible vector load for a given array of T

I went to great length to ensure that there are no SASS differences between the old and new machinery and also that we do not rely on the cuda vector types to keep compile times down.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added vectorized byte-storage support for eligible types, with storage alignment and vector widths adjusted to the CUDA Toolkit version.
  • Improvements
    • Updated multidimensional array device-to-device copying to use the new storage support.
    • Vectorization is unavailable for volatile types and types whose alignment exceeds the supported access limit.

The change adds a byte-vectorized storage utility with compile-time coverage. It updates mdspan copy headers to use the new type mapping and removes the previous fixed-width vector-access declarations.

Changes: Byte-vectorized storage

Layer / File(s) Summary
Byte-vectorized storage and tests
libcudacxx/include/cuda/__memory/as_bytes_vectorized.h, libcudacxx/test/libcudacxx/libcxx/memory/as_bytes_vectorized.compile.pass.cpp
Adds storage types and type-selection helpers with compile-time checks for size, alignment, indexing, type mappings, and vectorizability. The maximum vector access and expected layouts vary by CUDA Toolkit version.
mdspan copy vector types

important: Preserve valid object access in the vectorized kernel.

For a vectorizable type such as float, this change reads value-type input through integer-word storage. Line 95 then calls __alias<__value_type>() on that storage. The supplied __alias implementation casts and launders the pointer, but launder does not create __value_type objects. These accesses can violate C++ aliasing and object-lifetime rules. Use a byte-copy operation into live value objects, and restrict this path to types for which that copy is valid.

This is something I have been wondering about, We could use start_lifetime_as but that is only available on newer compilers.

We probably want to extend the core machinery to also work with float / double here

@bernhardmgruber thoughts?

Does this need bit twiddling, can not we express this calculation using normal calculations especially since this is constexpr anyways? They are more readable :(

This PR causes massive SASS changes that we need to carefully inspect. Please split this PR into just adding the as_bytes_vectorized machinery and maybe include a single algorithm, like reduce or find.

important: Preserve the existing public template interface.

Existing calls such as LoadDirectBlockedVectorized<int, 4>(tid, ptr, items) now fail because the first template argument must be a CacheLoadModifier. The base revision exposes the type-first interface. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Keep a forwarding overload with the original template parameters. Remove the default modifier from the modifier-first overload to avoid ambiguity.

important: Preserve the cache modifier in scalar fallbacks.

With CUDA 13, T = int, ItemsPerThread = 8, and a pointer aligned to 16 but not 32 bytes, this fallback discards Modifier. The old implementation used two aligned 16-byte loads and retained the modifier. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

A LOAD_VOLATILE iterator therefore changes from volatile reads to ordinary reads. This violates the selected load semantics. Use ThreadLoad<Modifier> for each scalar load in every fallback. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

important: Keep non-trivially copyable types on the scalar path.

When ForEachCopyN receives a contiguous range of non-trivially copyable T, __for_each_n can select this vector type. The new load copies words, and __alias<T> passes those words to op without constructing copied T objects. The former generic CubVector contained T members. This can break a copy constructor that maintains object invariants. Select the byte-vector path only when T is trivially copyable; otherwise use the scalar wrapper. (github.com)

Important: We should gate this on PTX ISA 8.8 and not on the CTK version. I believe that's relevant for clang in CUDA mode? Not sure.

Also notice that 32-byte loads require sm100+. That does not mean we can't load a longlong4_a32 before sm100, but it will just be split into two 16-byte loads. This may impact the design though, as we don't need to aim for 32-byte loads before sm100. But we can also address this later and just aim for 32-byte loads when possible.

libcudacxx/test/libcudacxx/libcxx/memory/as_bytes_vectorized.compile.pass.cpp: 1

305-305: Trivial · Functional Correctness · Quick win

suggestion: Add runtime coverage for __alias.

This .compile.pass.cpp test cannot provide runtime coverage. It also cannot provide constant-evaluation coverage for __alias, because neither overload is constexpr. Add a separate .pass.cpp test that writes distinct values through __alias<_Word>(i) and __alias<_Tp>(i), reads them through data(), and covers both const and non-const overloads.

The uint64_t self-comparison is not useful. It reads the same element twice and does not test indexing or aliasing. The existing static_assert already exercises data() during constant evaluation, but only for flat iteration over zero-initialized storage.

suggestion: Strip cv-qualifiers from _Tp before selecting _Word.

__is_vectorizable<const int>() accepts this specialization. _WordType therefore becomes const int, so the storage is read-only. If a caller instantiates __alias<int>, the mutable overload attempts to cast const int* to int* and is ill-formed. Existing tests do not instantiate that member, but the supported specialization permits it.

We use vectorized loads in a lot of places in CUB. However, the machinery used was not really suited to current improvements, such as wider vectorized loads and also alignment issues.

This unifies that machinery in a single type that ensures that we can use the widest possible vector load for a given array of T

Integers and floating-point values are stored as themselves, other types as unsigned integer words of their alignment. The storage is a single array of words, so a pointer to the first word can be iterated over the whole storage, which rebasing an iterator onto the storage relies on. `__alias` returns the object at a given index, words directly so that it returns the live word without laundering, other types through launder.

I went to great length to ensure that there are no SASS differences between the old and new machinery and also that we do not rely on the cuda vector types to keep compile times down.

The users are switched over to it in the following commits.
Reshape tensors for vectorized access to `cuda::__as_bytes_vectorized_t<char, N>`, which has the same size and alignment as `__vector_access<N>` for the power of two widths used here, and remove the now unused helper.

`__max_vector_access` is now provided by `as_bytes_vectorized.h`, so it is removed from `vector_access.h` as well. The copy headers now include what they previously got transitively through `vector_access.h`.

AI failure analysis

1. libcu++ NVRTC GPU execution reports launch failures and illegal instruction on T4 · 1 job

Explanation: Configuration and compilation succeeded, but six unrelated tests failed during NVRTC GPU execution: four reported CUDA launch failures, one reported an illegal instruction, and one crashed with exit code -11. The PR changes are confined to mdspan vectorization internals and a compile-only test, and the equivalent C++20 NVRTC job succeeded, so the evidence favors a transient or poisoned GPU context rather than a demonstrated PR regression; serial reproduction is needed to identify any initiating test.

Evidence:

2026-10-26T09:58:26.8933479Z 1: CUDA ERROR: cuDevicePrimaryCtxRetain(&context, cuDevice) failed with error CUDA_ERROR_LAUNCH_FAILED
2026-10-26T10:39:45.9410155Z 1: CUDA ERROR: cudaErrorIllegalInstruction: an illegal instruction was encountered

Affected jobs:

Investigate the CTK 13.4, GCC 16, C++17 NVRTC sm_75 runtime failures. First reproduce with `.devcontainer/launch.sh -d -c 13.4 -H gcc16 -- "./ci/nvrtc_libcudacxx.sh" -std "17" -arch "75"`. Then use the generated NVRTC lit site configuration to run the six failed paths individually with `-j1`, starting with `std/thread/thread.latch/count_down.pass.cpp`, because it produced the explicit illegal instruction and may have poisoned the GPU context for other processes. Also compare against the passing C++20 configuration and verify that the changed mdspan/as-bytes headers are not transitively included by the failed tests. If clean reruns confirm a runner/GPU flake, make no source change and request a CI rerun. If a failure reproduces deterministically, isolate the first failing kernel, implement the minimal library, test, or NVRTC-harness fix, and validate all six failed paths plus `libcxx/memory/as_bytes_vectorized.compile.pass.cpp`.
