performance results

Important Trade-off: F32 with 2048 bins gets ~6% slower at large sizes. No config in the search fixes this without losing the other wins, and we can't dispatch on bin count (runtime value). Kept it because the wins are much bigger: up to −76% on 2M-bin workloads and ~−20% everywhere else.

🔬 CUB benchmark SASS comparison

⚠️ The SASS changed for 1 of 84 CUB benchmark target(s). A benchmark run may be necessary

How to request a benchmark run

Request a CUB benchmark run for this PR:

1. Replace the `benchmarks:` block of ci/bench.yaml with exactly this:

benchmarks:
  filters:
    cub:
      - '^cub\.bench\.run_length_encode\.encode\.base$'
  gpus:
    - "h100"   # pick the GPUs that this change can affect

2. Commit with `[bench-only]` at the end of the commit summary, so that
   the unrelated CI jobs are skipped. Then push.

ci/bench.yaml must match ci/bench.template.yaml before the PR can merge.
Reset it once the measurement is done.

1. C Parallel histogram compilation: missing policy_selector::sample_type initializer · 4 jobs

Explanation: The change adds `sample_type` to the histogram `policy_selector` aggregate and updates its typed constructor, but the runtime C Parallel initializer in `c/parallel/src/histogram.cu` still supplies only the previous seven fields. GCC promotes the resulting missing-field warning to an error; both Python wheels fail because they build the same C Parallel source.

Evidence:

Verify the histogram `policy_selector` field order and all aggregate initializers, then update the initializer in `c/parallel/src/histogram.cu` to supply the new sample type after `is_evenly_segmented`, using the existing conversion helper: `cccl_type_enum_to_cub_type(d_samples.value_type.type)`. Confirm this preserves float32/float64 classification and maps unsupported/storage types to `type_t::other`. Reproduce narrowly with the C Parallel histogram compilation, implement the fix, then run focused validation for the `cccl.c.parallel` histogram build under GCC with warnings-as-errors; if practical, also validate the affected Python cuda.cccl/cuda.stf wheel build path.

I think the I32 results on the benchmark comparison are too regressive. We take a lot of 20+% regressions for <10% gains. Can you look whether you have tunings that cause less regressions with some speedup at least?

Those runs are worrying me:

Too little gain for the regression in my opinion.
