NVIDIA cuRAND curandSetStream documentation return status generator default stream behavior

💡 Result:

The function curandSetStream is used to associate a specific CUDA stream with a cuRAND generator for subsequent kernel launches [1][2]. Return Status The curandSetStream function returns a curandStatus_t value [1][3]. The possible return values are: - CURAND_STATUS_SUCCESS: Indicates the stream was set successfully [1][4]. - CURAND_STATUS_NOT_INITIALIZED: Indicates that the generator was not properly created before calling this function [1][2]. Default Stream Behavior When a cuRAND generator is first created, it does not have a user-specified stream assigned to it. If curandSetStream is not called, or if no stream has been explicitly configured for the generator, all cuRAND kernel launches will execute on the default CUDA stream (also referred to as the null stream) [2]. Additionally, users can explicitly specify the null stream by passing NULL as the stream argument to curandSetStream [1][2]. The behavior of the default stream itself (e.g., whether it operates in legacy mode or per-thread mode) is determined by global CUDA configuration settings, such as compiler flags or preprocessor definitions (e.g., --default-stream or CUDA_API_PER_THREAD_DEFAULT_STREAM) [5]. Once a stream is set using curandSetStream, all library functions will utilize that stream for kernel launches until it is changed again [1][2].

Check the curandSetStream status.

Line 228 ignores the curandStatus_t returned by curandSetStream. If it fails, curand_generate_uniformX can use the generator’s default stream instead of stream, so its writes may not be ordered with alteration_kernel.

Check the status with the repository’s RAFT error-handling convention before seeding and generating values.

the stream setup in the MST solver around curandSetStream to validate its
curandStatus_t result using the repository’s established RAFT error-handling
convention before seeding or generating values, ensuring failures do not allow
generation on the default stream.
