perf(analysis): deep-learning classification rows on several cores (#1252) - #1365
A buffer per thread: each thread reads a pixel's band values into its own buffer.
The Tracking: analysis tools on several cores #1252 rules hold: one thread in the browser, threads only above the size where they pay off, at most 16, and the calling thread works too. Cancel and progress work as before.
The output bands start as no data, and only classified pixels are written, which gives the same result as pushing no data for the others.
Tests
classify_on_several_threads_is_classify_on_one: 2, 7 and 16 threads give the same classes and probabilities, bit for bit, as one thread. That includes both classes and no-data pixels (non-finite band values).
cargo xtask ci passes locally (fmt, clippy, tests, layers), apart from two tests that fail only on this machine (GDAL and a damaged-Shapefile fixture).
Summary by CodeRabbit
Improvements
Classification can process rows in parallel, with the number of threads selected automatically based on input size and workload.
Results remain consistent across single-threaded, multi-threaded, and automatically selected processing. Missing or non-finite band values produce no-data pixels.
Behavior Changes
Classification no longer checks for cancellation after each row.
…pengeos#1252)
Classify Pixels runs its rows on parallel::for_each_row, as IDW, kriging and viewshed do: each
row writes only its own pixels of the class and probability bands, and each thread reads a
pixel's band values into its own buffer. The output is the same bit for bit as on one thread
(classify_on_several_threads_is_classify_on_one). 2000 x 2000 pixels, 4 bands, a 32-32 model:
5.2 s on one thread, 0.57 s on 16.
Neural raster classification now processes rows in parallel. The implementation accepts an optional thread count, preserves no-data values for invalid pixels, and includes tests that compare outputs across thread counts.
classify delegates to classify_on, which processes rows in parallel using a supplied or selected thread count. Workers use separate input buffers and write class and probability outputs. A test compares outputs bit for bit across thread counts, including no-data pixels.

Explanation
The title names the change: multi-core row processing for deep-learning classification (perf, analysis crate). The raw summary confirms the change parallelizes classify rows with a per-worker buffer and a thread-count selection. The title also has a PR number suffix, which is harmless. The title is 74 characters and fits a short, single-sentence form.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the template sections (Summary, Testing, UI evidence, Related issue). Summary covers what changed and why, with benchmark numbers. Testing names the new test and the local CI status. UI evidence is correctly marked as no visible UI change. Related issue is left as the template placeholder, but the description states it is part of #1252, so the link is implied rather than formally filled in. The template's placeholder comment for Related issue was not replaced with a closing or part-of reference line, which is a minor gap.

Bugs: None found. I checked the cancel and progress path: for_each_row in parallel.rs takes over control::check() and advance(), so dropping the per-row calls in classify_on is correct. reached is still used by training, so nothing is left dead. new_band → filled produces the same w × h no-data-filled band the old push loop built. Non-finite inputs are still treated as no data. Output is bit-identical across thread counts, since each pixel is independent.
Security: None found. The change has no new input handling, and the existing MAX_WORK guard runs before any allocation.
Performance:
threads_for_rows gets work in pixel × weight units, but MIN_ROW_WORK is documented in parallel.rs in IDW's cost units. Per the PR's own timing, a unit here is about 1 ns, so the threshold is about 0.2 ms of classification. Threads can start on small rasters where spawn cost exceeds the savings. Absolute cost is sub-millisecond. Confidence: medium-low. Posted inline at crates/analysis/src/neural.rs:369.
Quality:
The test calls classify_on directly, so it never checks the thread choice made by the public classify. Nothing checks that cancel or progress behaves correctly on the threaded path for classify, although the PR description claims it does. parallel.rs covers the generic case. Confidence: medium. Left for the release quality pass, per AGENTS.md.
chunks_mut(w.max(1)) guards against a zero chunk size. A short comment would help readers. Nit, left for the release quality pass.
AGENTS.md: No violations. No unwrap/expect in non-test code, no unsafe, no new strings needing tl!, no new dependencies, and nothing that needs to be reported as a silent loss.
Prior review threads: none existed, so there were no earlier concerns to skip.
Change size
Compared with main (merge base c40daf4 to PR head 887161c).
Add a test for automatic thread selection in classify.
The new test calls only classify_on with Some(threads). The public classify passes None and uses threads_for_rows. No test calls classify, and no test checks that automatic selection returns several threads for a large raster. A selector that always returns one thread would still pass the test.

Extend the classification tests to call the public classify function with
automatic thread selection and verify that a sufficiently large raster selects
multiple threads. Keep the existing classify_on explicit-thread checks; the
regression test must fail if threads_for_rows always returns one thread.
Assert that classified pixels have valid probabilities.
Assert that classified pixels have valid probabilities.
The new test checks only that thread counts agree and that classes are present. If probability writes were dropped in the shared row closure, every probability would stay at no data and the test would still pass. No other test asserts probability values.

Review comment at @crates/analysis/src/neural.rs around lines 429 - 430:
In the thread-count consistency test, add an assertion over paired values in c1
and p1: allow no-data pixels (class -1.0), and require every classified pixel’s
probability to be finite and in (0, 1].
A test of the public classify (CodeRabbit), and of the thread choice it makes (github-actions): added. classify now gives the same as one thread. The thread count it picks depends on the machine, so the test checks the result rather than the count.
Classified pixels have valid probabilities (CodeRabbit): added. A classified pixel has a probability in [0.5, 1], since this is a two-class model and the probability is the winning class's. A no-data pixel has none.
Cancel and progress on the threaded path, and a comment for chunks_mut(w.max(1)) (github-actions): left for the release quality pass. for_each_row handles both, and parallel.rs tests that.
Bugs: None found. I checked the parallel rewrite of classify_on against parallel::for_each_row and control. Row order and per-pixel results are unchanged, output bands start as no-data (matching the old push(nodata)), and cancellation and panic propagation go through the existing helpers. The per-row check() is kept on the serial path. The wasm path is single-threaded through threads_for_rows. Both earlier concerns (the work units and the browser doc note) are fixed in the diff, so I did not raise them again.
Security: None found. No new input handling, and the dimension math uses saturating_mul.
Performance: None found beyond the earlier thread that's already resolved. The work estimate of pixels × weights / 30 matches the PR's own measurement of about 1 ns per pixel-weight. predict still allocates per pixel inside probabilities, but that predates this change. (confidence: medium)
Quality:
The test's final classify(&r, &model, -1.0) check runs single-threaded at this size, so the comment "as many threads as pay off" overstates what it covers. Inline comment posted on crates/analysis/src/neural.rs:437. (confidence: high)
crates/analysis/src/parallel.rs:17-19 lists each raster tool's work units (IDW, kriging, viewshed). Classification's units are not in that list. Documentation nit, left for the release quality pass. (confidence: high)
AGENTS.md: Compliant. The non-test code has no unwrap, expect, panic, or unsafe. The test's unwrap calls match the existing tests in the same module. No new strings need tl!. The change is in crates/analysis and does not touch layering or wasm builds.
Prior reviews: I left 2 earlier concerns alone, both answered and fixed in this push: the work-unit scaling (neural.rs:371) and the browser doc note (neural.rs:350).
Not verified: I did not compile or run the tests. I only have read access here. The PR says cargo xtask ci passes locally.

Count per-pixel overhead in the parallel work estimate.
371-372: Minor · Performance & Scalability · Low value
Count per-pixel overhead in the parallel work estimate.
The estimate counts only weights per pixel. Each pixel also allocates vectors in probabilities and makes four Raster::value reads. For a small model, that overhead outweighs the weight cost. A 10-weight model on 500,000 pixels stays on one thread. Add a per-pixel constant to the estimate, calibrated by benchmark.

Update the work estimate used by threads_for_rows to include a
benchmark-calibrated per-pixel cost for the vector allocations in probabilities
and four Raster::value reads, in addition to weights. Preserve the existing
saturating arithmetic and thread-selection flow.
