Accelerate deformable edge collisions - #4157
Conversation
Evaluate each unordered edge pair once and use a block-shared tile stack to redistribute distance tests from divergent BVH traversals. Preserve directed contact rows, filtering, and world grouping. Add dense single-world and replicated multi-world benchmarks that saturate the GPU and cover the full deformable detection pass.

block_dimfrom the kernel tile constants.The kernel sizes its shared active-lane tile with
EDGE_COLLISION_TILE_SIZEand its candidate stack withEDGE_COLLISION_STACK_CAPACITY. Two invariants must hold:block_dim <= EDGE_COLLISION_TILE_SIZE, andEDGE_COLLISION_STACK_CAPACITY >= 2 * block_dim, because the stack drains only when its count reachesblock_dim. The literal32here satisfies both, but the coupling is not visible from this file. A later change to either constant breaks the traversal silently: an oversizedblock_dimscatters past the shared tile and corrupts the active-lane sum, which ends the loop early and drops contacts.Also note that
self.collision_detection_block_sizeno longer affects this launch.♻️ Proposed change to make the contract explicit

89-93: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winAssert that the pre-allocated buffers do not overflow during warmup.
The tiled kernel records each edge pair to both endpoints, so per-edge counts are higher than before this change. With a 0.012 radius over 0.01 grid spacing and 0.006 layer separation, a row can exceed
edge_collision_buffer_pre_alloc=64. On overflow the kernel sets the resize flag and skips the buffer write, so the captured graph measures a truncated workload and the benchmark stops being a stable baseline.Check the flag once after warmup, before the capture.
♻️ Proposed check

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Mention the small change in reported minimum distances.
The entry covers the performance change only. The tiled kernel evaluates each unordered edge pair once and reduces with wp.atomic_min, so per-edge minimum distances can differ from the previous results in the last floating-point bits. newton/tests/test_collision_cloth.py line 782 was relaxed to rtol=5e-6 for exactly this reason. REVIEW_GUIDELINES.rst asks the changelog to categorize user-visible numerical-semantic changes, so record the tolerance-level difference here.
