Add a pylibcudf regex search example - #23286
Conversation
Adds a GPU-accelerated grep built on cuDF string operations, runnable as the 'cudfgrep' console command or 'python -m cudf.grep'. Supports grep-compatible flags (-i -n -c -v -o -w -x -e), a GDS toggle, and a --benchmark mode. Includes unit tests. Part of NVIDIA#21078.

@JayYarlagadda Is this ready for review? I see that the PR is still in Draft. |

How does this compare to ripgrep? |
|
Good shout on ripgrep — ran it on the same T4 to be fair (synthetic log, pattern
(GB/s) So yeah, ripgrep is roughly 2x GNU grep — a much fairer baseline, glad you flagged it. On a single cached file the end-to-end cudfgrep number lands about the same as ripgrep, since most of the time goes into reading the file and copying it to the GPU rather than the actual matching. Where the GPU pulls ahead is the scan itself — once the data is resident it matches at ~20 GB/s, roughly 8-9x ripgrep. So it makes the most sense when the text is already on the device (as part of a cuDF pipeline), or when you're scanning the same data repeatedly / with multiple patterns. One limitation I hit: it loads the whole file into VRAM, so 8 GB OOM'd on the 16 GB T4. Happy to fold this into the PR description if it's useful. |

@davidwendt yep, marking it ready now — thanks for the nudge. Also dropped a ripgrep comparison above. |

Just curious what version of cudf was used to produce the results. There was a significant performance improvement to the regex code merged into main on Tuesday afternoon (7/14). Are the numbers based on the current code (as of the last couple days)? |
|
Good question — these were on cudf 26.02.01. That's the newest version I could get running on Kaggle's free T4, since the 26.6 wheels want a newer CUDA driver than the free tier has. So yeah, they're from before the 7/14 regex changes — which means the scan-only numbers are probably on the low side compared to current main. I don't have a box with a newer driver to rerun on main right now, but I'm happy to if you can point me at one, or I can give the devcontainer a shot. I'd expect the resident-scan throughput to only go up. |

@davidwendt @karthikeyann — got a chance to rerun on current
(GB/s) Scan-only jumped from ~20 GB/s on the old 26.02 build to ~90–100 GB/s here — roughly 5×, and ~40× ripgrep on resident data. End-to-end is basically unchanged (~2.4 GB/s, still ~tied with ripgrep) since it's dominated by loading the file onto the GPU — so chunked reads + GDS remain the obvious lever there. On that note: right now it loads the whole file into VRAM (8 GB OOMs on the 16 GB T4). I'm happy to add chunked reading via Happy to make any changes whenever someone gets a chance to look. |

I thought the intent of the issue proposing this was not to produce a serious CLI utility to compete with the many many regex searching tools out there, but just to have a demo of cuDF's regex processing capability and a general sense of the GPU performance.
I would think of this as a Python code example, not something we ship as a part of the cudf Python package as a built-in CLI utility.
Maybe this could be reimagined as a pylibcudf demo, because we definitely need more pylibcudf examples/demos. That would also reduce overhead, because the cudf pandas-like API is slower than pylibcudf.
tl;dr I don't think we should ship this as a CLI utility, moreso as demo code. It's great to see the performance numbers -- especially if we can get some tests with GDS -- but competing with tools like ripgrep is not the goal.
|
@bdice Thanks, that clarifies the intended scope. I interpreted the earlier discussion about making this available through cuDF Python as a request for a shipped CLI, but I'm happy to reframe it as a focused demonstration instead. I'll remove the package entry point and grep-compatibility surface, rewrite the core using pylibcudf, and update the benchmarks to include GDS enabled/disabled alongside end-to-end and resident-data scan timings. I'll treat ripgrep only as context rather than as something the example is intended to compete with. I don't see an existing pylibcudf examples directory on main. Would python/pylibcudf/examples/regex_search.py be an appropriate location, or is there another examples/docs path you would prefer? |
|
@bdice @davidwendt — quick update while I’m working through the pylibcudf-demo rewrite. I now have the focused demo running end to end on a current RAPIDS nightly:
Correctness was checked using deterministic reference counts:
I also checked the small-file and terminal-newline cases, including ensuring a final newline does not create a false empty-line match. The focused test suite currently has 36 passing tests and passes the cuDF Ruff configuration. One correction to my earlier benchmark comment: the revised benchmark explicitly synchronizes the CUDA stream around every timed region. Please treat these ~43 GB/s resident-scan results as authoritative and the earlier ~90–100 GB/s numbers as superseded. I also investigated GDS rather than treating a successful cuFile call as proof. Kaggle reports:
Would either of you have access to a GDS-capable runner where I could run the same reproducible benchmark, or would you be willing to run it internally? I can provide the exact script and deterministic input-generation command. Otherwise, I’ll document native GDS as unverified and include the validated no-GDS results above. For placement, unless you prefer another location, I’ll proceed with |
|
The pylibcudf rewrite is now pushed in The effective diff now contains only:
The packaged Local formatting, Ruff, diff checks, and the focused regression suite pass. I’ll leave this as Draft pending feedback on example placement and access to a native-GDS runner. |

Description
This reframes #21078 as a focused pylibcudf example rather than a packaged grep-compatible CLI.
The example:
pylibcudf.io.text.multibyte_split;GDS-on results are reported only when cuFile says native GDS is available and compatibility fallback is disabled. This prevents a successful cuFile compatibility-mode read from being mislabeled as native GDS performance.
The implementation lives in

ERRORerrorThe benchmark synchronizes the CUDA stream around every timed region. Small-file, ignore-case, and terminal-newline correctness cases were also validated.
Kaggle did not provide native GDS (
is_gds_available=False, nonvidia-fsdevice/module), so no GDS-on throughput is claimed. The example correctly rejects that fallback environment. A native-GDS run is requested from anyone with access to a suitably configured host.Local validation completed:
git diff --check; andThe added pylibcudf test exercises the real GPU read, regex, ignore-case, match-count, and timing path in the pylibcudf test environment.
