Pull request overview
This PR fixes incorrect LTO fragment architecture selection when using CUDA 13 with an older CMake version whose static CMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES_ALL list still includes unsupported SM50. The selection now prefers the compiler-resolved CMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES list (from rapids-cmake), preventing nvcc JIT fragment compilation failures like Unsupported gpu architecture 'compute_50'.
Changes:
- Move LTO architecture selection into a dedicated CMake module and base the default selection on
CMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES, with a fallback toCMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES_ALLfor symbolic settings (all,all-major). - Add focused CMake-script regression coverage for CUDA 13 + stale CMake arch tables, CUDA 12 behavior, explicit overrides, and symbolic fallback.
- Wire the new regression script into the existing
cpp/cmake/testsCTest suite.

📝 WalkthroughSummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughThe CMake configuration now selects architecture 75 for CUDA Toolkit 13.0 or newer and architecture 70 for older toolkits. CUDA fragment targets use the selected architecture with the ChangesLTO architecture defaults
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The change fixes CUDA 13 architecture selection, but existing build directories with an empty cached architecture value can fail during reconfiguration unless that legacy value is migrated or explicitly accepted as a known limitation. A rare misconfiguration also produces a misleading error message, so merge should wait for the cache handling issue to be addressed or explicitly accepted by the owner.

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Clarify the FATAL_ERROR message for the non-override failure case.
The message states "CUDF_LTO_ARCHITECTURE must be a numeric architecture", but this branch also triggers when CUDF_LTO_ARCHITECTURE is empty and both CMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES and CMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES_ALL contain no numeric entries. In that case, the user never set CUDF_LTO_ARCHITECTURE, so the message points at the wrong variable and can mislead debugging.

Just hardcode 70-real for LTO for CTK 12, and 75-real for 13. There doesn't need to be any complex logic to derive the floor from all the architectures since RAPIDS has different minimum requirements

CMake set CACHE documentation existing cache entry FORCE does not overwrite
💡 Result:
In CMake, the set command with the CACHE option is designed to respect existing values in the cache [1][2]. By default, if a cache entry with the specified name already exists, the set command will not overwrite it [1][3]. The FORCE option exists specifically to override this behavior, forcing the command to overwrite any existing cache entry with the provided value [1][2]. If you are encountering a situation where FORCE does not appear to be working or you are confused about why a value is not being updated, consider these common technical reasons: 1. FORCE is being used when it should not be: If your intention is to allow a user to override a default value (e.g., via the command line with -DVAR=VAL), you should remove the FORCE option [4]. Including FORCE instructs CMake to always ignore the user's previously set value and reset it to the value defined in your CMakeLists.txt file [2][4]. 2. Evaluation Order and Scope: Cache variables are global [5]. If your CMake project involves multiple directories or subprojects, the order in which files are processed and variables are defined matters. 3. Normal Variables vs. Cache Variables: Remember that when you evaluate a variable using ${VAR}, CMake looks for a normal (local) variable first [1][6]. If a normal variable exists in the current scope with the same name as a cache variable, it will mask the cache variable [1][7]. If you need to ensure a specific value is used regardless of the cache, you can set a normal variable (without the CACHE option), which will take precedence over the cache entry in that scope [2][5]. 4. INTERNAL Type: If you use the INTERNAL type for a cache variable, the FORCE option is implied [1][7]. In summary, the FORCE option correctly overwrites existing cache entries [1][2]. If your value is not changing, it is likely that the command is either not being executed (e.g., because it is inside a conditional block that is not being entered) or, more commonly, that a local variable is masking the cache variable, or the user is misunderstanding the intended purpose of FORCE, which is to enforce a hardcoded value rather than permit user customization [2][5][4].

Migrate the legacy empty CUDF_LTO_ARCHITECTURE cache value.
The previous configuration created an empty cache entry. The new set(... CACHE ...) call does not replace it, so an upgraded build directory can retain the empty value. The numeric validation at Lines 198-200 then fails during reconfiguration.
Force the new default only when the existing cache value is empty. Preserve explicit non-empty overrides.

Description
related to #23803
CUDF_LTO_ARCHITECTUREwas derived fromCMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES_ALL. CMake 4.0 paired with CUDA 13 still reports SM50 in that static list even though CUDA 13 no longer supports it, causing JIT fragment compilation to fail with:Use the RAPIDS minimum architectures directly instead of deriving the floor from the CMake architecture list:
Generated fragments use the corresponding
70-realor75-realCMake architecture whileCUDF_LTO_ARCHITECTUREremains numeric for runtime NVRTC compilation and explicit cache overrides.Fixes NVIDIA/cudf-spark-jni#5046.
