RSN 41 - Removing cugraph-ops from RAPIDS

Author	RAPIDS Ops
Status	Completed
Topic	Platform Support Change
RAPIDS Version	v25.02+
Created	January 10, 2025
Updated	N/A

Overview

RAPIDS will stop releasing cugraph-ops in 25.02, including the libcugraphops and pylibcugraphops packages. The graph sampling code previously used by cuGraph has been directly integrated into cuGraph. The equivariant neural network primitives have been migrated to BioNeMo, with the front-end package now available as cuEquivariance. The GNN aggregation primitives will be relocated to a new destination soon.

Impact

The GNN convolutional layers in the cugraph_dgl.nn and cugraph_pyg.nn modules will be temporarily removed. They will be reintroduced at a later time.
