ENFORCE_GPU defaulted to ON and was always added to the compile definitions, so every shipped build rejected cfg.use_gpu == false in the Odometry constructor. The pure-CPU implementation was present but unreachable through the public API.

Remove the option from the root CMakeLists and from setup_cuvslam_settings, drop the constructor guard, and only emit the CUDA compatibility warning when the caller actually asked for the GPU -- a CPU-only run has no reason to complain about the CUDA runtime.

Split the edex replay suite so the CPU configuration is covered on every build: CppApiConfigsCPU always runs with use_cuda and use_gpu_mem false, and CppApiConfigsGPU runs the GPU pair only under USE_CUDA.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The build no longer exposes GPU enforcement. Runtime validation now matches input memory to the configured tracking mode. API tests separate CPU and CUDA configurations, and documentation describes the supported input memory.

Changes

Pure-CPU cuVSLAM support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Remove GPU enforcement and validate input memory
CMakeLists.txt, cmake/cuVSLAMUtils.cmake, libs/cuvslam/cuvslam2.cpp
The build no longer defines ENFORCE_GPU. Odometry validates image, mask, depth, and localization memory against the configured GPU mode. CUDA compatibility warnings apply only to GPU tracking.
Align CPU and CUDA API configurations
tools/cuvslam_api_test/cuvslam_api2_test.cpp, tools/cuvslam_api_test/track_edex_api2.cpp
The tests use separate CPU and CUDA suites. slam_cfg.use_gpu follows cfg.use_gpu.
Document and test memory-mode behavior
libs/cuvslam/cuvslam2.h, python/cuvslam2.cpp, libs/cuvslam/test/image_format_test.cpp
The API documentation describes GPU input requirements. Tests cover accepted GPU buffers and CPU rejection of GPU memory in CUDA and non-CUDA builds.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to ffc7d

CPU-only SLAM use can still emit an irrelevant CUDA compatibility warning. This does not prevent CPU operation, but should be corrected before relying on warning output to diagnose GPU configuration.

Select a CPU-compatible SBA mode when cfg.use_gpu is false.

OriginalGPU constructs GpuSbaService in non-inertial odometry. The use_gpu argument only controls feature tracking, so CPU-only configurations can still invoke GPU SBA. Select OriginalCPU for CPU-only configurations.

The edex replay suite parameterizes Odometry::Config::use_gpu, and the
CppApiConfigsCPU instantiation passes false, but Slam::Config::use_gpu
was left at its true default. SLAM therefore kept using the GPU even in
the CPU-only cases, so that suite never exercised the CPU-only path that
dropping ENFORCE_GPU was meant to enable.

Propagate cfg.use_gpu into slam_cfg.

slepichev and others added 2 commits September 8, 2026 02:36
Config::use_gpu and ImageData::is_gpu_mem are independent axes: GPU
tracking reads images from host or device memory and uploads host buffers
itself. The reverse does not work. The CPU pipeline dereferences `pixels`
directly, so a device address reaches build_cpu_image_pyramid(), which
rejects the non-host source with a bare "Invalid image source" trace and
returns false. Callers such as MultiSOFCPU ignore that result and read an
unallocated pyramid, so a Release build segfaults instead of reporting
anything.

Validate the memory space at the public API, where the rest of the input
checks live. CheckImageMemory() is shared by images, masks, RGBD depths,
multisensor depths and Slam::LocalizeInMap(); masks had no validation at
all before. Masks must match because they are consumed alongside the
image they belong to.

Extend the edex replay matrix: CppApiConfigsGPU parameterizes use_gpu_mem
with Bool() instead of Values(true), so GPU tracking is covered with both
host and device input. The remaining pair, CPU tracking with device
memory, is invalid and is covered by a unit test rather than a replay.

main now carries the USE_CUDA=OFF build repair (#143), which added a
CPU-only rejection for is_gpu_mem to the same three Check* functions this
branch extends. Those merged cleanly and in the right order: the no-CUDA
message fires first in a CPU-only build, the use_gpu check catches the
CUDA build.

The only conflict was image_format_test.cpp, where both sides appended a
test at the end of the file. Kept both, split over #ifdef USE_CUDA /
#else: a CUDA build runs AcceptsGpuMemoryWhenTrackingOnGpu and
RejectsGpuMemoryWhenTrackingOnCpu, a CPU-only build runs
RejectsGpuMemoryWithoutCuda.

Verified both configurations. USE_CUDA=ON builds and passes 16/16 ctest
suites. USE_CUDA=OFF now builds completely, cuvslam_api_test included,
which needed this branch's ENFORCE_GPU removal, and passes 15/15 suites.

993-993: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Gate the SLAM CUDA warning on config.use_gpu.

Slam::Impl still calls CheckCudaCompatibility when config.use_gpu is false. A CPU-only SLAM configuration can therefore emit the CUDA warning that this change removes for CPU odometry. Mirror the predicate used by Odometry.

Proposed fix
-    TracePrintIf(!CheckCudaCompatibility(message), "[WARNING] %s\n", message.c_str());
+    TracePrintIf(config.use_gpu && !CheckCudaCompatibility(message), "[WARNING] %s\n", message.c_str());

Guard the SLAM CUDA warning with config.use_gpu.

Odometry::Odometry now checks CUDA compatibility only when GPU tracking is enabled, but Slam::Impl still checks it unconditionally. CPU configurations that use SLAM can therefore emit a CUDA compatibility warning.

-    TracePrintIf(!CheckCudaCompatibility(message), "[WARNING] %s\n", message.c_str());
+    TracePrintIf(config.use_gpu && !CheckCudaCompatibility(message), "[WARNING] %s\n", message.c_str());
