…stics cuopt::seed_generator was a single process-wide static counter shared across the OpenMP thread pool (B&B worker tasks, CPU/GPU FJ tasks, and local-search CPU-FJ climbers all run concurrently), so concurrent get_seed() calls raced and the order callers received values in was undefined -- deterministic-mode reproducibility was best-effort rather than guaranteed. Every mip_heuristics owner that used to draw from the global generator now holds its own persistent RNG, seeded once from mip_solver_context_t::base_seed (resolved from settings.seed, or a fresh random seed if unset) plus a fixed logical component id -- never a runtime thread id, since OMP tasks can migrate between OS threads. This follows the same pattern branch_and_bound_worker_t already uses. Context-less helpers (bounds_repair_t, lb_bounds_repair_t, solution_t::round_nearest/round_random_nearest/ assign_random_within_bounds, simple_rounding.cu's free functions) now take an explicit seed from their caller instead of reaching for global state. cpp/src/utilities/seed_generator.cuh is left in place since routing still depends on it (tracked separately by #1717); one intentional fallback remains in fj_cpu.cu, reachable only from branch_and_bound.cpp's non-deterministic-mode root-cut path, which is out of scope here. Fixes #1749

fj_t::rng is now private with a next_seed() accessor, so external callers (line_segment_search_t) can't reseed or otherwise mutate it. bounds_repair.cuh/lb_bounds_repair.cuh get a direct <cstdint> include since they use int64_t unqualified.

Thanks for this PR, Ram! Let us replace the hand-created function for seed/stream with a good hash function so an id will generate drastically different seeds. I will replace the B&B worker rng with it as well.

distinct streams, and explicit seeds supplied to solution_t::round_nearest are
honored. Keep the tests focused on these inputs rather than relying on existing
solver-level determinism coverage.

Thanks Ram! Few comments.
cpp/src/utilities/seed_generator.cuh is left in place — routing still depends on it (13 files on main), tracked separately by https://github.com/NVIDIA/cuopt/pull/1717, which is narrowing to a routing-only seed_generator under cpp/src/routing/utilities/. Once that lands, the shared header can be deleted.
The PR has landed and seed_generator has been moved to routing. So we can remove the seed_generator in the general root utilizies folder.

I would leave it to @aliceb-nv but i don't think the RNG perf is critical anywhere in the code. std::mt19937 is standard so it is probably easier to use and maintain.

Can you add a skill or review rule for agents and especially coderabbit such that the new added classes also use this rng order registry?

Keep construction and reseeding equivalent.
splitmix64_t::seed() resets state_ and stream_ without the constructor’s next_state() call. Thus, splitmix64_t(s, g).next_u64() returns mix64(s + g), while the first next_u64() after seed(s, g) returns mix64(s). This affects the cpufj_solve() path, which reseeds fj_cpu->rng. Call next_state() from seed() or share the initialization path, and add a regression test.

Summary
cuopt::seed_generator(cpp/src/utilities/seed_generator.cuh) is a single process-widestatic int64_t seed_counter handed out viaseed_++inget_seed(). The MIP heuristics run under an OpenMP thread pool (B&B worker tasks, CPU/GPU FJ tasks, and local-search CPU-FJ climbers all run concurrently), so concurrentget_seed()calls race, and the order in which callers receive values is undefined. That makes deterministic-mode reproducibility best-effort rather than guaranteed.This PR gives every
mip_heuristicsowner (diversity manager, population, local search, feasibility pump, constraint prop, all 5 recombiners, GPU/CPU FJ, bounds repair) its own persistent RNG, seeded once frommip_solver_context_t::base_seed(resolved fromsettings.seed, or a fresh random seed if unset) plus a fixed logical component id — never a runtime thread id, since OMP tasks can migrate between OS threads. This mirrors the patternbranch_and_bound_worker_talready uses.Context-less helpers (
bounds_repair_t,lb_bounds_repair_t,solution_t::round_nearest/round_random_nearest/assign_random_within_bounds,simple_rounding.cu's free functions) now take an explicit seed from their caller instead of reaching for global state.Scope / non-goals
cpp/src/utilities/seed_generator.cuhis left in place — routing still depends on it (13 files onmain), tracked separately by fix: give each solver its own seed instead of a process-wide counter #1717, which is narrowing to a routing-onlyseed_generatorundercpp/src/routing/utilities/. Once that lands, the shared header can be deleted.fj_cpu.cu'sseed >= 0 ? seed : cuopt::seed_generator::get_seed()fallback, reachable only frombranch_and_bound.cpp's non-deterministic-mode root-cut path — that's outsidemip_heuristicsand already a deliberate, documented tradeoff there.Fixes #1749
