Design looks great!

  1. The implementation is not complete: I still see use of some APIs that use global state, e.g. cp.random.binomial
  2. There is confusing stuff like random_state: int | None – that’s not random state, that’s a seed. Similarly random_seed.some_method() doesn’t make sense
  3. There’s also use of legacy cp.random.RandomState, but that’s more a style question, as calling methods on that doesn’t modify state, it just has the old API which gets a bit confusing if you also use cp.random.Generator in other parts of the code base.

One thing I realized when looking at this: I think that with the new presets, we can use the new, fast rng (and nondeterminism as default) when the V2 preset is set.


Nice! Yeah it’s all complicated. The fully-fledged thing is the only way I’ve found to allow

  1. to just use the passed seed/generator when passing rng=...
  2. to still produce the same results / advance the global RandomState when random_state=... or nothing is passed.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added support for NumPy random generators across randomized analysis, preprocessing, clustering, visualization, and embedding workflows.
    • Introduced a consistent rng parameter for controlling reproducibility.
    • Existing random_state usage remains supported where applicable for compatibility.
    • Removed the obsolete random_seed option from Scrublet doublet simulation; use rng instead.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved reproducibility and handling of unseeded operations across supported workflows.

Walkthrough

The PR adds unified NumPy generator support across preprocessing and analysis APIs. It preserves legacy random_state compatibility, derives backend seeds for CUDA consumers, updates Scrublet parameters, and adds compatibility and regression tests.

Changes

Random generator compatibility

Layer / File(s) Summary
RNG compatibility foundation
src/rapids_singlecell/_compat.py, src/rapids_singlecell/_utils/*
Adds generator normalization, legacy RNG wrapping, compatibility decorators, and bounded seed derivation. Removes obsolete random-state helpers and types.
Preprocessing RNG propagation
src/rapids_singlecell/preprocessing/*
Updates Harmony, neighbors, PCA, Scrublet, and sparse utilities to accept and propagate rng values.
Analysis API RNG propagation
src/rapids_singlecell/tools/*
Updates clustering, diffusion maps, graph drawing, gene scoring, t-SNE, and UMAP to use generators and derived backend seeds.
Validation and release support
tests/*, docs/release-notes/0.17.0.md, .gitignore
Updates RNG-related tests, documents the API changes, and ignores PanGPA.log.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 65fbd

The RNG refactor can break environments that satisfy the declared NumPy minimum, while scrublet may move large datasets to host memory and Harmony may report CUDA failures only after later operations. These concrete compatibility, resource, and failure-detection risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

629-657: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Surface CUDA errors after _hc_cl.clustering_loop.

At Line 653, the nanobind CUDA call has no immediate error check. Call cp.cuda.runtime.getLastError() immediately after _hc_cl.clustering_loop and before consuming last_obj. This reports a launch failure at its source.

As per coding guidelines, “After nanobind CUDA kernel calls, ensure pending CUDA errors are explicitly surfaced before subsequent operations consume them.”

NumPy release notes np.random.get_bit_generator introduced version BitGenerator.spawn introduced version Generator.spawn

💡 Result:

The spawn methods for both Generator and BitGenerator, as well as the utility function get_bit_generator, were introduced in the following NumPy versions: - BitGenerator.spawn: Introduced in NumPy 1.25.0 [1][2][3]. - Generator.spawn: Introduced in NumPy 1.25.0 [1][4][5]. - np.random.get_bit_generator: Introduced in NumPy 1.24.0 [6][7][8]. The spawn methods provide a mechanism to create new, independent child generators from an existing BitGenerator or Generator instance [1][9]. The get_bit_generator function was added to allow users to retrieve and interact with the bit generator currently used by the singleton RandomState [6].

Raise the NumPy minimum or add compatibility fallbacks.

pyproject.toml declares numpy>=1.17.0, but this code requires np.random.get_bit_generator() (NumPy 1.24+) and BitGenerator.spawn() and Generator.spawn() (NumPy 1.25+). Update the minimum to a compatible version or add fallbacks in _random.py, score_genes, and batched scrublet.

Keep binomial subsampling on the GPU.

At Lines 52-59, E.data.get() and unsampled_orig_totals.get() copy all nonzero counts and all cell totals to host memory. Large single-cell inputs can require host memory proportional to nnz and force two device synchronizations.

Draw one seed from the NumPy generator, initialize a local CuPy generator, and perform both binomial operations on device arrays.

As per coding guidelines, “Avoid unnecessary GPU↔CPU transfers, especially .get() calls in hot paths and per-element CuPy-to-Python conversions.”
