# 本線タスク（現在）

## 次フェーズ: Phase TLS-UNIFY-3-DESIGN（C6 ULTRA intrusive freelist 設計）

- 目的: C6 ULTRA 専用の intrusive freelist（ブロック内 next ポインタ）を設計し、TinyUltraTlsCtx 上でどう扱うかを文書化する。
- 作業内容:
  - `docs/analysis/ULTRA_C6_INTRUSIVE_FREELIST_DESIGN_V11B.md` を新規作成し、
    - C6 ブロックレイアウト（next ポインタ位置 / header 取り扱い）,
    - C6 用 alloc/free API,
    - 既存 C6 ULTRA から v12 lane への移行プラン
    をまとめる。
  - TLS 統合との整合性メモ（TinyUltraTlsCtx の c6_* フィールドを使う / C4-C5 は当面 array マガジンのまま）を書いておく。
- このフェーズは **設計だけ**。実装は次セッション以降。

## Phase TLS-UNIFY-2a: C4-C6 TLS統合 - COMPLETED ✅

**変更**: C4-C6 ULTRA の TLS を `TinyUltraTlsCtx` 1 struct に統合。配列マガジン方式維持、C7 は別箱のまま。

**A/B テスト結果**:
| Workload | v11b-1 (Phase 1) | TLS-UNIFY-2a | 差分 |
|----------|------------------|--------------|------|
| Mixed 16-1024B | 8.0-8.8 Mop/s | 8.5-9.0 Mop/s | +0~5% |
| MID 257-768B | 8.5-9.0 Mop/s | 8.1-9.0 Mop/s | ±0% |

**結果**: C4-C6 ULTRA の TLS は TinyUltraTlsCtx 1箱に収束。性能同等以上、SEGV/assert なし ✅

---

## Phase v11b-1: Free Path Optimization - COMPLETED ✅

**変更**: `free_tiny_fast()` のシリアルULTRAチェック (C7→C6→C5→C4) を単一switch構造に統合。C7 early-exit追加。

**結果 (vs v11a-5)**:
| Workload | v11a-5 | v11b-1 | 改善 |
|----------|--------|--------|------|
| Mixed 16-1024B | 45.4M | 50.7M | **+11.7%** |
| C6-heavy | 49.1M | 52.0M | **+5.9%** |
| C6-heavy + MID v3.5 | 53.1M | 53.6M | +0.9% |

---

## 本線プロファイル決定

| Workload | MID v3.5 | 理由 |
|----------|----------|------|
| **Mixed 16-1024B** | OFF | LEGACYが最速 (45.4M ops/s) |
| **C6-heavy (257-512B)** | ON (C6-only) | +8%改善 (53.1M ops/s) |

ENV設定:
- `MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE`: `HAKMEM_MID_V35_ENABLED=0`
- `C6_HEAVY_LEGACY_POOLV1`: `HAKMEM_MID_V35_ENABLED=1 HAKMEM_MID_V35_CLASSES=0x40`

# Phase v11a-5: Hot Path Optimization - COMPLETED

## Status: ✅ COMPLETE - 大幅な性能改善達成

### 変更内容

1. **Hot path簡素化**: `malloc_tiny_fast()` を単一switch構造に統合
2. **C7 ULTRA early-exit**: Policy snapshot前にC7 ULTRAをearly-exit（最大ホットパス最適化）
3. **ENV checks移動**: すべてのENVチェックをPolicy initに集約

### 結果サマリ (vs v11a-4)

| Workload | v11a-4 Baseline | v11a-5 Baseline | 改善 |
|----------|-----------------|-----------------|------|
| Mixed 16-1024B | 38.6M | 45.4M | **+17.6%** |
| C6-heavy (257-512B) | 39.0M | 49.1M | **+26%** |

| Workload | v11a-4 MID v3.5 | v11a-5 MID v3.5 | 改善 |
|----------|-----------------|-----------------|------|
| Mixed 16-1024B | 40.3M | 41.8M | +3.7% |
| C6-heavy (257-512B) | 40.2M | 53.1M | **+32%** |

### v11a-5 内部比較

| Workload | Baseline | MID v3.5 ON | 差分 |
|----------|----------|-------------|------|
| Mixed 16-1024B | 45.4M | 41.8M | -8% (LEGACYが速い) |
| C6-heavy (257-512B) | 49.1M | 53.1M | **+8.1%** |

### 結論

1. **Hot path最適化で大幅改善**: Baseline +17-26%、MID v3.5 ON +3-32%
2. **C7 early-exitが効果大**: Policy snapshot回避で約10M ops/s向上
3. **MID v3.5はC6-heavyで有効**: C6主体ワークロードで+8%改善
4. **Mixedワークロードではbaselineが最適**: LEGACYパスがシンプルで速い

### 技術詳細

- C7 ULTRA early-exit: `tiny_c7_ultra_enabled_env()` (static cached) で判定
- Policy snapshot: TLSキャッシュ + version check (version mismatch時のみ再初期化)
- Single switch: route_kind[class_idx] で分岐（ULTRA/MID_V35/V7/MID_V3/LEGACY）

|----------|----------|---------|------|
| C6-heavy (257-512B) | 34.0M | 35.8M | **+5.1%** |
| Mixed 16-1024B | 38.6M | 40.3M | **+4.4%** |

### 結論

**Mixed本線で C6→MID v3.5 は採用候補**。+4%の改善があり、設計の一貫性（統一セグメント管理）も得られる。

  - `core/smallobject_segment_mid_v3.o`
  - `core/smallobject_cold_iface_mid_v3.o`
  - `core/smallobject_stats_mid_v3.o`

- Benchmark executable built successfully

**Sanity Benchmark Results**:
```bash
./bench_random_mixed_hakmem 100000 400 1
Throughput = 27323121 ops/s [iter=100000 ws=400] time=0.004s
RSS: max_kb=30208
```

Performance: **27.3M ops/s** (baseline maintained, no regression)

## Architecture

### Layer Structure
```
L3: Learner v2 (smallobject_learner_v2.c)
     ↑ (stats aggregation)
L2: StatsBox (smallobject_stats_mid_v3.c)
     ↑ (publish events)
L2: ColdIface (smallobject_cold_iface_mid_v3.c)
     ↑ (refill/retire)
L2: SegmentBox (smallobject_segment_mid_v3.c)
     ↑ (page management)
L1: [Future: Hot path integration]
```

### Data Flow
1. **Page Refill**: ColdIface → SegmentBox (take from free stack)
2. **Page Retire**: ColdIface → StatsBox (publish) → Learner (aggregate)
3. **Decision**: Learner calculates C5 ratio → routing decision (v7 vs MID_v3)

## Key Design Decisions

1. **No Hot Path Integration**: Phase v11a-2 focuses on infrastructure only
   - Existing MID v3 routing unchanged
   - New code is dormant (linked but not called)
   - Ready for future activation

2. **ULTRA Geometry Reuse**: 2MiB segments, 64KiB pages
   - Proven design from C7 ULTRA
   - Efficient for C5-C7 range (257-1024B)
   - Good balance between fragmentation and overhead

3. **Per-Class Free Stacks**: Independent page pools per class
   - Reduces cross-class interference
   - Simplifies page accounting
   - Enables per-class statistics

4. **Exponential Smoothing**: 90% historical + 10% new
   - Stable metrics despite workload variation
   - React to trends without noise
   - Standard industry practice
