Migrate stream APIs from rmm::cuda_stream_view to cuda::stream_ref

[bdice]

Summary

Track the coordinated migration of stream APIs and call sites from rmm::cuda_stream_view to CCCL's cuda::stream_ref. This propagates cuda::stream_ref through RMM containers and memory resources, RAFT resource and handle APIs, downstream C++ interfaces, Python/Cython bindings, benchmarks, tests, and documentation.

This migrates affected cuML C++ and Python/Cython stream interfaces and adapts CUDA, Thrust, RAFT legacy, and cuML raw-stream boundaries.

Depends on rapidsai/rmm#2372 and NVIDIA/raft#3129.

Tracked in rapidsai/build-planning#318.

Migrations

• Pass cuda::stream_ref through stream pools, resource accessors, conditionals, and downstream APIs without converting to rmm::cuda_stream_view
• Use cuda::stream_ref constructions for default/legacy/per-thread streams
  • rmm::cuda_stream_default ➡️ cuda::stream_ref{cudaStream_t{cudaStreamDefault}}
  • rmm::cuda_stream_legacy ➡️ cuda::stream_ref{cudaStreamLegacy}
  • rmm::cuda_stream_per_thread ➡️ cuda::stream_ref{cudaStreamPerThread}
• Use .get() when calling an API that requires a raw cudaStream_t, including CUDA runtime, library, CUB, and legacy API boundaries (previously rmm::cuda_stream_view used value())
• Use .sync() when synchronizing a cuda::stream_ref (previously rmm::cuda_stream_view used synchronize())
• Update Cython declarations and call sites to pass stream references directly where supported

  • Maintained reliable validation across supported GPU workflows.

Walkthrough

Changes

The pull request migrates CUDA stream handling across benchmarks, C++ algorithms, UMAP bindings, and tests. RAFT stream wrappers are unwrapped with .get(), and stream construction uses cuda::stream_ref.

CUDA stream migration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Benchmark stream construction cpp/bench/sg/*	Benchmarks use cuda::stream_ref for default and configured CUDA streams.
C++ algorithm stream propagation cpp/src/*, cpp/src_prims/*	CUDA, RAFT, RMM, Thrust, and time-series calls receive native CUDA stream handles.
UMAP stream contracts and bindings cpp/src/umap/*, python/cuml/cuml/manifold/umap/umap.pyx	UMAP stream parameters and Python binding calls use cuda::stream_ref or native CUDA streams.
Test stream migration cpp/tests/*	Test handles and asynchronous operations use the updated CUDA stream API.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7b69f

The stream API migration can run UMAP initialization and permutation-SHAP work on streams other than the caller-selected stream, which may violate asynchronous ordering and produce stale or racy results. These stream-routing defects should be corrected before merge; the remaining test error-checking issue reduces failure visibility.

CI follow-up: the conda and pip devcontainer failures use the pre-migration pylibraft declaration where handle_t.get_stream() returns raw cudaStream_t; they therefore reject the migration branch's required .get() raw-boundary conversion. In the rebased migration stack, RAFT #3129 changes that declaration to cuda::stream_ref, and the cuML build and focused tests pass locally. These failures are expected until the dependent RAFT/RMM migration is available to CI.
