Benchmark compare workflow to execute actual benchmark binaries

[oleksandr-pavlyk]

Description

Only run actually produced binaries that match --cub-filter regular expression.

This avoids compare bench script failure when regex matches phone targets that have no matching binary artifacts to execute.

closes #11006

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Benchmark comparisons now use the supported NVBench comparison scripts consistently.
  • Missing runnable-target matches are explicitly reported as comparison failures.
  • Comparison execution no longer exits early for source-only invocations.
  • Robust benchmark reports now use the robust comparison workflow.

• Improvements

  • Improved target filtering and validation for more reliable benchmark results.
  • Reports better distinguish requested build targets from runnable benchmark targets.

Walkthrough

The benchmark comparison script discovers executable files after both CUB builds, intersects the results, filters them against requested targets, resolves comparison scripts, and compares only runnable targets. Empty-runnable handling now marks the comparison as failed after successful builds.

Changes

Benchmark comparison flow

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Runnable target discovery ci/bench/compare_paths.sh	The script scans executable files in both bin directories, normalizes their names, and selects targets that match the requested targets in both builds.
Comparison script resolution and invocation ci/bench/compare_paths.sh	run_compare_target accepts separate robust and legacy script paths. Robust comparisons invoke the resolved robust script.
Comparison reporting and failure handling ci/bench/compare_paths.sh	Reports use runnable-target counts and emit results only for runnable targets. If no runnable target matches after successful builds, the comparison is marked as failed. The source-only early exit is removed.

Assessment against linked issues

Objective	Addressed	Explanation
Use ninja -t query to infer executables produced by filter-matched phony targets [#11006]	❌	The implementation scans executable files under each build tree’s bin directory instead of using ninja -t query.
Prevent missing-binary errors and compare only targets available in both builds [#11006]	✅

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to b2a56

The change limits benchmark comparisons to produced binaries matching the filter, avoiding failures from nonexistent artifacts; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

AI failure analysis

1. RAPIDS consumers reference deleted RMM device_scalar rvalue constructor · 3 jobs

Explanation: All three jobs' earliest substantive compiler failure resolves a temporary scalar initializer to RMM 26.10's explicitly deleted `const value_type&&` constructor. The PR changes only `ci/bench/compare_paths.sh`, while these jobs consume RAPIDS main branches or 26.10 alpha packages, indicating an upstream RAPIDS dependency-alignment failure rather than a change in the PR.

Investigate the RAPIDS 26.10 compatibility break in which cuVS, RAFT, and cuOpt pass temporary initial values to `rmm::device_scalar` after RMM deleted its `const value_type&&` constructor. Reproduce narrowly with the logged cuVS and cuOpt RAPIDS build configurations, inspect the RMM constructor change, and compare with the latest successful RAPIDS run to identify a mutually compatible set of RMM, RAFT, cuVS, cuOpt, and cuCollections revisions. Do not modify `ci/bench/compare_paths.sh` or restore the deleted RMM overload. Prefer advancing or pinning the RAPIDS branches/packages to revisions containing the downstream call-site migrations; if source fixes are still needed, replace temporary initializers with the supported RMM initialization API or suitably long-lived named values, following RMM's lifetime requirements. Implement any necessary CCCL workflow/container pinning, then rerun the two focused cuVS matrix builds and the cuOpt build. Once these constructor errors are cleared, check whether the later cuVS `cuco::default_filter_policy` diagnostic remains and handle it separately.

### AI failure analysis

1. cuVS balanced k-means compilation rejects temporary device_scalar initialization · 2 jobs

Explanation: Both cuVS matrix jobs have the same earliest failure: balanced k-means passes the literal `0` to an RMM 26.10 `device_scalar` constructor whose rvalue overload is deleted. The PR changes only `ci/bench/compare_paths.sh`, so this appears to be unrelated RAPIDS dependency/API drift.

Verify the RMM 26.10 `device_scalar` constructor contract and reproduce narrowly by compiling the cuVS balanced k-means object with the CUDA 13.3 RAPIDS environment. Update `cpp/src/cluster/detail/kmeans_balanced.cuh` so the initial zero values at the failing `device_scalar` constructions are supplied through named `IdxT` lvalues with lifetimes valid for the constructor's transfer; audit nearby instances for the same pattern. If the upstream cuVS branch already contains this correction, update or pin CCCL's RAPIDS configuration to a coherent revision instead of changing CCCL APIs. Rebuild the affected k-means object first, then run the focused cuVS build used by CI.

2. cuOpt compilation rejects temporary device_scalar initialization · 1 job

Explanation: cuOpt passes temporary Boolean literals to the same deleted RMM 26.10 rvalue constructor, beginning in `feasibility_jump.cuh` and `problem_helpers.cuh`. This is also outside the PR's benchmark-script changes and indicates an incompatible cuOpt/RMM dependency combination.

Verify the RMM 26.10 API selected by the cuOpt CUDA 13.3 environment and reproduce the first failing cuOpt object compilation. Replace temporary Boolean and numeric arguments to `rmm::device_scalar` with named lvalues whose lifetimes safely cover initialization; initializer-list cases should use a class/static constant or the supported RMM initialization API rather than a literal. Audit cuOpt for all instances of this constructor pattern because the log shows multiple affected translation units. If upstream cuOpt already has the migration, pin or update the RAPIDS revision used by CCCL CI. Rebuild the first failing object and then run the focused cuOpt build.
