Jun 1, 2026June 2026 highlights for NVIDIA/cudaqx: delivered a canonical soft-to-hard decoder conversion helper to standardize binarization across decoder variants. Refactored LUTs, PyMatching, and TRT decoder input paths to use the shared helper, improving consistency and maintainability. Boundary behavior aligned with the documented contract (values >= 0.5 map to 1). Added focused boundary tests for 0.5 conversion in C++ and Python. TRT input handling remains unchanged for now; future work will centralize output binarization. This work reduces maintenance burden, lowers risk of behavioral drift, and improves model-result reproducibility. Related to issue #552 and commits associated with PR #553.

May 1, 2026May 2026: NVIDIA/cudaqx Batch Decoder Result API Enhancement delivered to expose decoded correction data as NumPy arrays and unify batch decoding output under BatchDecoderResult, enabling direct vectorized access and improved batch processing performance. Introduced a Python API change where decoded results are exposed as NumPy arrays; associated commit 008a3d2c4bd7a366892eb0130c7ce6ff70831594 documents the changes. Benchmarks show direct NumPy batch access reduces Python-side overhead, with median speedups of 1.6x–2.1x across workloads (shots=1000/3000, batch sizes 1/32/256). The change preserves backward-compatible interfaces (indexing/slicing/iteration) while encouraging migration to NumPy semantics. Documentation updates planned in a separate PR.

Jun 1, 2025June 2025 monthly summary for NVIDIA/cudaqx focusing on delivering a flexible decoder API extension and strengthening internal data handling to support optional outputs. Key work delivered includes introducing an opt_results field in decoder_result to enable decoders to return optional outputs via a heterogeneous map, accompanied by breaking changes to C++/Python interfaces. Internal improvements to heterogeneous_map were implemented to support flexible storage of outputs. Documentation and examples were updated to reflect the new API usage. No customer-reported bugs fixed this month; however, internal stability and maintainability improvements reduce potential copy-related issues.
