## 更新メモ（2025-12-15 Phase 19-4 HINT-MISMATCH-CLEANUP）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Phase 19-4 HINT-MISMATCH-CLEANUP: `__builtin_expect(...,0)` mismatch cleanup — ✅ DONE
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Result summary (Mixed 10-run)**:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
| Phase | Target | Result | Throughput | Key metric / Note |
|
|||
|
|
|---:|---|---|---:|---|
|
|||
|
|
| 19-4a | Wrapper ENV gates | ✅ GO | +0.16% | instructions -0.79% |
|
|||
|
|
| 19-4b | Free hot/cold dispatch | ❌ NO-GO | -2.87% | revert（hint が正しい） |
|
|||
|
|
| 19-4c | Free Tiny Direct gate | ✅ GO | +0.88% | cache-misses -16.7% |
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Net (19-4a + 19-4c)**:
|
|||
|
|
- Throughput: **+1.04%**
|
|||
|
|
- Cache-misses: **-16.7%**（19-4c が支配的）
|
|||
|
|
- Instructions: **-0.79%**（19-4a が支配的）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Key learning**:
|
|||
|
|
- “UNLIKELY hint を全部削除”ではなく、**cond の実効デフォルト**（preset default ON/OFF）で判断する。
|
|||
|
|
- Preset default ON → UNLIKELY は逆（mismatch）→ 削除/見直し（19-4a, 19-4c）
|
|||
|
|
- Preset default OFF → UNLIKELY は正しい → 維持（19-4b）

## 更新メモ（2025-12-15 Phase 19-5 Attempts: Both NO-GO）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Phase 19-5 & v2: Consolidate hot getenv() — ❌ DEFERRED
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Result**: Both attempts to eliminate hot getenv() failed. Current TLS cache pattern is already near-optimal.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Attempt 1: Global ENV Cache (-4.28% regression)**
|
|||
|
|
- 400B struct causes L1 cache layout conflicts
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Attempt 2: HakmemEnvSnapshot Integration (-7.7% regression)**
|
|||
|
|
- Broke efficient per-thread TLS cache (`static __thread int g_larson_fix = -1`)
|
|||
|
|
- env pointer NULL-safety issues
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Key Discovery**: Original code's per-thread TLS cache is excellent
|
|||
|
|
- Cost: 1 getenv/thread, amortized
|
|||
|
|
- Benefit: 1-cycle reads thereafter
|
|||
|
|
- Already near-optimal
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Decision**: Focus on other instruction reduction candidates instead.

## 更新メモ（2025-12-15 Phase 19-6 / 19-3c Alloc ENV-SNAPSHOT-PASSDOWN Attempt）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Phase 19-6 (aka 19-3c) Alloc ENV-SNAPSHOT-PASSDOWN: Symmetry attempt — ❌ NO-GO
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Goal**: Alloc 側も free 側(19-3b)と同様に、既に読んでいる `HakmemEnvSnapshot` を下流へ pass-down して
|
|||
|
|
`hakmem_env_snapshot_enabled()` の重複 work を削る。
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Result (Mixed 10-run)**:
|
|||
|
|
- Mean: **-0.97%**
|
|||
|
|
- Median: **-1.05%**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Decision**:
|
|||
|
|
- NO-GO（revert）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Ref**:
|
|||
|
|
- `docs/analysis/PHASE19_FASTLANE_INSTRUCTION_REDUCTION_6_ALLOC_SNAPSHOT_PASSDOWN_AB_TEST_RESULTS.md`
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Phase 19-6B Free Static Route for Free: bypass `small_policy_v7_snapshot()` — ✅ GO (+1.43%)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Change**:
|
|||
|
|
- `free_tiny_fast_hot()` / `free_tiny_fast()`:
|
|||
|
|
- `tiny_static_route_ready_fast()` → `tiny_static_route_get_kind_fast(class_idx)`
|
|||
|
|
- else fallback: `small_policy_v7_snapshot()->route_kind[class_idx]`
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**A/B (Mixed 10-run)**:
|
|||
|
|
- Mean: **+1.43%**
|
|||
|
|
- Median: **+1.37%**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Ref**:
|
|||
|
|
- `docs/analysis/PHASE19_FASTLANE_INSTRUCTION_REDUCTION_6B_FREE_STATIC_ROUTE_FOR_FREE_AB_TEST_RESULTS.md`
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Phase 19-6C Duplicate tiny_route_for_class() Consolidation — ✅ GO (+1.98%)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Goal**: Eliminate 2-3x redundant route computations in free path
|
|||
|
|
- `free_tiny_fast_hot()` line 654-661: Computed route_kind_free (SmallRouteKind)
|
|||
|
|
- `free_tiny_fast_cold()` line 389-402: **RECOMPUTED** route (tiny_route_kind_t) — REDUNDANT
|
|||
|
|
- `free_tiny_fast()` legacy_fallback line 894-905: **RECOMPUTED** same as cold — REDUNDANT
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Solution**: Pass-down pattern (no function split)
|
|||
|
|
- Create helper: `free_tiny_fast_compute_route_and_heap()`
|
|||
|
|
- Compute route once in caller context, pass as 2 parameters
|
|||
|
|
- Remove redundant computation from cold path body
|
|||
|
|
- Update call sites to use helper instead of recomputing
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**A/B Test Results** (Mixed 10-run):
|
|||
|
|
- Baseline (Phase 19-6B state): mean **53.49M** ops/s
|
|||
|
|
- Optimized (Phase 19-6C): mean **54.55M** ops/s
|
|||
|
|
- Delta: **+1.98% mean** → ✅ GO (exceeds +0.5-1.0% target)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Changes**:
|
|||
|
|
- File: `core/front/malloc_tiny_fast.h`
|
|||
|
|
- Add helper function `free_tiny_fast_compute_route_and_heap()` (lines 382-403)
|
|||
|
|
- Modify `free_tiny_fast_cold()` signature to accept pre-computed route + use_tiny_heap (lines 411-412)
|
|||
|
|
- Remove route computation from cold path body (was lines 416-429)
|
|||
|
|
- Update call site in `free_tiny_fast_hot()` cold_path label (lines 720-722)
|
|||
|
|
- Replace duplicate computation in `legacy_fallback` with helper call (line 901)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Key insight**:
|
|||
|
|
- Instruction delta: -15-25 instructions per cold-path free (~20% of cold path overhead)
|
|||
|
|
- Route computation eliminated: 1x (was computed 2-3x before)
|
|||
|
|
- Parameter passing overhead: negligible (2 ints on stack)

## 更新メモ（2025-12-15 Phase 19-3b ENV-SNAPSHOT-PASSDOWN）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Phase 19-3b ENV-SNAPSHOT-PASSDOWN: Consolidate ENV snapshot reads across hot helpers — ✅ GO (+2.76%)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**A/B Test Results** (`scripts/run_mixed_10_cleanenv.sh`, iter=20M ws=400):
|
|||
|
|
- Baseline (Phase 19-3a): mean **55.56M** ops/s, median **55.65M**
|
|||
|
|
- Optimized (Phase 19-3b): mean **57.10M** ops/s, median **57.09M**
|
|||
|
|
- Delta: **+2.76% mean** / **+2.57% median** → ✅ GO
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Change**:
|
|||
|
|
- `core/front/malloc_tiny_fast.h`: capture `env` once in `free_tiny_fast()` / `free_tiny_fast_hot()` and pass into cold/legacy helpers; use `tiny_policy_hot_get_route_with_env()` to avoid a second snapshot gate.
|
|||
|
|
- `core/box/tiny_legacy_fallback_box.h`: add `tiny_legacy_fallback_free_base_with_env(...)` and use it from hot paths to avoid redundant `hakmem_env_snapshot_enabled()` checks.
|
|||
|
|
- `core/box/tiny_metadata_cache_hot_box.h`: add `tiny_policy_hot_get_route_with_env(...)` so `malloc_tiny_fast_for_class()` can reuse the already-fetched snapshot.
|
|||
|
|
- Remove dead `front_snap` computations (set-but-unused) from the free hot paths.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Why it works**:
|
|||
|
|
- Hot call chains had multiple redundant `hakmem_env_snapshot_enabled()` gates (branch + loads) across nested helpers.
|
|||
|
|
- Capture once → pass-down keeps the “ENV decision” at a single boundary per operation and removes duplicated work.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Next**:
|
|||
|
|
- Phase 19-6: alloc-side pass-down は NO-GO（上記 Ref）。次は “duplicate route lookup / dual policy snapshot” 系の冗長排除へ。

## 更新メモ（2025-12-15 Phase 19-3a UNLIKELY-HINT-REMOVAL）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Phase 19-3a UNLIKELY-HINT-REMOVAL: ENV Snapshot UNLIKELY Hint Removal — ✅ GO (+4.42%)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Result**: UNLIKELY hint (`__builtin_expect(..., 0)`) 削除により throughput **+4.42%** 達成。期待値（+0-2%）を大幅超過。
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**A/B Test Results** (HAKMEM_PROFILE=MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE, 20M ops, 3-run average):
|
|||
|
|
- Baseline (Phase 19-1b): 52.06M ops/s
|
|||
|
|
- Optimized (Phase 19-3a): 54.36M ops/s (53.99, 54.44, 54.66)
|
|||
|
|
- Delta: **+4.42%** (GO判定、期待値 +0-2% を大幅超過)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**修正内容**:
|
|||
|
|
- File: `/mnt/workdisk/public_share/hakmem/core/front/malloc_tiny_fast.h`
|
|||
|
|
- 修正箇所: 5箇所
|
|||
|
|
- Line 237: malloc_tiny_fast_for_class (C7 ULTRA alloc)
|
|||
|
|
- Line 405: free_tiny_fast_cold (Front V3 free hotcold)
|
|||
|
|
- Line 627: free_tiny_fast_hot (C7 ULTRA free)
|
|||
|
|
- Line 834: free_tiny_fast (C7 ULTRA free larson)
|
|||
|
|
- Line 915: free_tiny_fast (Front V3 free larson)
|
|||
|
|
- 変更: `__builtin_expect(hakmem_env_snapshot_enabled(), 0)` → `hakmem_env_snapshot_enabled()`
|
|||
|
|
- 理由: ENV snapshot は ON by default (MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE preset) → UNLIKELY hint が逆効果
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Why it works**:
|
|||
|
|
- Phase 19-1b で学んだ教訓: `__builtin_expect(..., 0)` は branch misprediction を誘発
|
|||
|
|
- ENV snapshot は MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE で ON → "UNLIKELY" hint が backwards
|
|||
|
|
- Hint 削除により compiler が正しい branch prediction を生成 → misprediction penalty 削減
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Impact**:
|
|||
|
|
- Throughput: 52.06M → 54.36M ops/s (+4.42%)
|
|||
|
|
- Expected future gains (from design doc Phase 19-3b/c): Additional +3-5% from ENV consolidation
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Next**: Phase 19-3b (ENV Snapshot Consolidation) — Pass env snapshot down from wrapper entry to eliminate 8 additional TLS reads/op.

## 前回タスク（2025-12-15 Phase 19-1b FASTLANE-DIRECT-1B）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Phase 19-1b FASTLANE-DIRECT-1B: FastLane Direct (Revised) — ✅ GO (+5.88%)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Result**: Phase 19-1 の修正版が成功。__builtin_expect() 削除 + free_tiny_fast() 直呼び で throughput **+5.88%** 達成。
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**A/B Test Results**:
|
|||
|
|
- Baseline: 49.17M ops/s (FASTLANE_DIRECT=0)
|
|||
|
|
- Optimized: 52.06M ops/s (FASTLANE_DIRECT=1)
|
|||
|
|
- Delta: **+5.88%** (GO判定、+5%目標クリア)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**perf stat Analysis** (200M ops):
|
|||
|
|
- Instructions: **-15.23%** (199.90 → 169.45/op, -30.45 削減)
|
|||
|
|
- Branches: **-19.36%** (51.49 → 41.52/op, -9.97 削減)
|
|||
|
|
- Cycles: **-5.07%** (88.88 → 84.37/op)
|
|||
|
|
- I-cache misses: -11.79% (Good)
|
|||
|
|
- iTLB misses: +41.46% (Bad, but overall gain wins)
|
|||
|
|
- dTLB misses: +29.15% (Bad, but overall gain wins)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**犯人特定**:
|
|||
|
|
1. Phase 19-1 の NO-GO 原因: `__builtin_expect(fastlane_direct_enabled(), 0)` が逆効果
|
|||
|
|
2. `free_tiny_fast_hot()` より `free_tiny_fast()` が勝ち筋（unified cache の winner）
|
|||
|
|
3. 修正により wrapper overhead 削減 → instruction/branch の大幅削減
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**修正内容**:
|
|||
|
|
- File: `/mnt/workdisk/public_share/hakmem/core/box/hak_wrappers.inc.h`
|
|||
|
|
- malloc: `__builtin_expect(fastlane_direct_enabled(), 0)` → `fastlane_direct_enabled()`
|
|||
|
|
- free: `free_tiny_fast_hot()` → `free_tiny_fast()` (勝ち筋に変更)
|
|||
|
|
- Safety: `!g_initialized` では direct を使わず既存経路へフォールバック（FastLane と同じ fail-fast）
|
|||
|
|
- Safety: malloc miss は `malloc_cold()` を直呼びせず既存 wrapper 経路へ落とす（lock_depth 前提を守る）
|
|||
|
|
- ENV cache: `fastlane_direct_env_refresh_from_env()` が wrapper と同一の `_Atomic` に反映されるように単一グローバル化
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Next**: Phase 19-1b は本線採用。ENV: `HAKMEM_FASTLANE_DIRECT=1` で運用。

## 前回タスク（Phase 19 FASTLANE-INSTRUCTION-REDUCTION-1）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Phase 19 FASTLANE-INSTRUCTION-REDUCTION-1: FastLane Instruction Reduction v1 — 📊 ANALYSIS COMPLETE
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
結果: perf stat/record 分析により、**libc との gap の本質**を特定。設計ドキュメント完成。
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- 設計: `docs/analysis/PHASE19_FASTLANE_INSTRUCTION_REDUCTION_1_DESIGN.md`
|
|||
|
|
- perf データ: 保存済み（perf_stat_hakmem.txt, perf_stat_libc.txt, perf.data.phase19_hakmem）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Gap Analysis（200M ops baseline）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Per-operation overhead** (hakmem vs libc):
|
|||
|
|
- Instructions/op: **209.09 vs 135.92** (+73.17, **+53.8%**)
|
|||
|
|
- Branches/op: **52.33 vs 22.93** (+29.40, **+128.2%**)
|
|||
|
|
- Cycles/op: **96.48 vs 54.69** (+41.79, +76.4%)
|
|||
|
|
- Throughput: **44.88M vs 77.62M ops/s** (+73.0% gap)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Critical finding**: hakmem は **73 extra instructions** と **29 extra branches** per-op を実行。これが throughput gap の全原因。
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Hot Path Breakdown（perf report）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Top wrapper overhead (合計 ~55% of cycles):
|
|||
|
|
- `front_fastlane_try_free`: **23.97%**
|
|||
|
|
- `malloc`: **23.84%**
|
|||
|
|
- `free`: **6.82%**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Wrapper layer が cycles の過半を消費（二重検証、ENV checks、class mask checks など）。
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Reduction Candidates（優先度順）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1. **Candidate A: FastLane Wrapper Layer 削除** (highest ROI)
|
|||
|
|
- Impact: **-17.5 instructions/op, -6.0 branches/op** (+10-15% throughput)
|
|||
|
|
- Risk: **LOW**（free_tiny_fast_hot 既存）
|
|||
|
|
- 理由: 二重 header validation + ENV checks 排除
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
2. **Candidate B: ENV Snapshot 統合** (high ROI)
|
|||
|
|
- Impact: **-10.0 instructions/op, -4.0 branches/op** (+5-8% throughput)
|
|||
|
|
- Risk: **MEDIUM**（ENV invalidation 対応必要）
|
|||
|
|
- 理由: 3+ 回の ENV check を 1 回に統合
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
3. **Candidate C: Stats Counters 削除** (medium ROI)
|
|||
|
|
- Impact: **-5.0 instructions/op, -2.5 branches/op** (+3-5% throughput)
|
|||
|
|
- Risk: **LOW**（compile-time optional）
|
|||
|
|
- 理由: Atomic increment overhead 排除
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
4. **Candidate D: Header Validation Inline** (medium ROI)
|
|||
|
|
- Impact: **-4.0 instructions/op, -1.5 branches/op** (+2-3% throughput)
|
|||
|
|
- Risk: **MEDIUM**（caller 検証前提）
|
|||
|
|
- 理由: 二重 header load 排除
|
|||
|
|
|
|||

|
5. **Candidate E: Static Route Fast Path** (lower ROI)
|
|||
|
|
- Impact: **-3.5 instructions/op, -1.5 branches/op** (+2-3% throughput)
|
|||
|
|
- Risk: **LOW**（route table static）
|
|||
|
|
- 理由: Function call を bit test に置換
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Combined estimate** (80% efficiency):
|
|||
|
|
- Instructions/op: 209.09 → **177.09** (gap: +53.8% → +30.3%)
|
|||
|
|
- Branches/op: 52.33 → **39.93** (gap: +128.2% → +74.1%)
|
|||
|
|
- Throughput: 44.88M → **54.3M ops/s** (+21%, **目標 +15-25% 超過達成**)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Implementation Plan
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- **Phase 19-1** (P0): FastLane Wrapper 削除 (2-3h, +10-15%)
|
|||
|
|
- **Phase 19-2** (P1): ENV Snapshot 統合 (4-6h, +5-8%)
|
|||
|
|
- **Phase 19-3** (P2): Stats + Header Inline (2-3h, +3-5%)
|
|||
|
|
- **Phase 19-4** (P3): Route Fast Path (2-3h, +2-3%)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### 次の手順
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1. Phase 19-1 実装開始（FastLane layer 削除、直接 free_tiny_fast_hot 呼び出し）
|
|||
|
|
2. perf stat で instruction/branch reduction 検証
|
|||
|
|
3. Mixed 10-run で throughput improvement 測定
|
|||
|
|
4. Phase 19-2-4 を順次実装

## 更新メモ（2025-12-15 Phase 18 HOT-TEXT-ISOLATION-1）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Phase 18 HOT-TEXT-ISOLATION-1: Hot Text Isolation v1 — ❌ NO-GO / FROZEN
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
結果: Mixed 10-run mean **-0.87%** 回帰、I-cache misses **+91.06%** 劣化。`-ffunction-sections -Wl,--gc-sections` による細粒度セクション化が I-cache locality を破壊。hot/cold 属性は実装済みだが未適用のため、デメリットのみが発生。
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- A/B 結果: `docs/analysis/PHASE18_HOT_TEXT_ISOLATION_1_AB_TEST_RESULTS.md`
|
|||
|
|
- 指示書: `docs/analysis/PHASE18_HOT_TEXT_ISOLATION_1_NEXT_INSTRUCTIONS.md`
|
|||
|
|
- 設計: `docs/analysis/PHASE18_HOT_TEXT_ISOLATION_1_DESIGN.md`
|
|||
|
|
- 対処: `HOT_TEXT_ISOLATION=0` (default) で rollback
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
主要原因:
|
|||
|
|
- Section-based linking が自然な compiler locality を破壊
|
|||
|
|
- `--gc-sections` のリンク順序変更で I-cache が断片化
|
|||
|
|
- Hot/cold 属性が実際には適用されていない（実装の不完全性）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
重要な知見:
|
|||
|
|
- Phase 17 v2（FORCE_LIBC 修正後）: same-binary A/B で **libc が +62.7%**（≒1.63×）速い → gap の主因は **allocator work**（layout alone ではない）
|
|||
|
|
- ただし `bench_random_mixed_system` は `libc-in-hakmem-binary` よりさらに **+10.5%** 速い → wrapper/text 環境の penalty も残る
|
|||
|
|
- Phase 18 v2（BENCH_MINIMAL）は「足し算の固定費」を削る方向として有効だが、-5% instructions 程度では +62% gap を埋められない
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## 更新メモ（2025-12-14 Phase 6 FRONT-FASTLANE-1）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Phase 6 FRONT-FASTLANE-1: Front FastLane（Layer Collapse）— ✅ GO / 本線昇格
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
結果: Mixed 10-run で **+11.13%**（HAKMEM史上最大級の改善）。Fail-Fast/境界1箇所を維持したまま “入口固定費” を大幅削減。
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|

|||
|
|
- 指示書（昇格/次）: `docs/analysis/PHASE6_FRONT_FASTLANE_NEXT_INSTRUCTIONS.md`
|
|||
|
|
- 外部回答（記録）: `PHASE_ML2_CHATGPT_RESPONSE_FASTLANE.md`
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
運用ルール:
|
|||
|
|
- A/B は **同一バイナリで ENV トグル**（削除/追加で別バイナリ比較にしない）
|
|||
|
|
- Mixed 10-run は `scripts/run_mixed_10_cleanenv.sh` 基準（ENV 漏れ防止）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Phase 6-2 FRONT-FASTLANE-FREE-DEDUP: Front FastLane Free DeDup — ✅ GO / 本線昇格
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
結果: Mixed 10-run で **+5.18%**。`front_fastlane_try_free()` の二重ヘッダ検証を排除し、free 側の固定費をさらに削減。
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- A/B 結果: `docs/analysis/PHASE6_FRONT_FASTLANE_2_FREE_DEDUP_AB_TEST_RESULTS.md`
|
|||
|
|
- 指示書: `docs/analysis/PHASE6_FRONT_FASTLANE_2_FREE_DEDUP_NEXT_INSTRUCTIONS.md`
|
|||
|
|
- ENV gate: `HAKMEM_FRONT_FASTLANE_FREE_DEDUP=0/1` (default: 1, opt-out)
|
|||
|
|
- Rollback: `HAKMEM_FRONT_FASTLANE_FREE_DEDUP=0`
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
成功要因:
|
|||
|
|
- 重複検証の完全排除（`front_fastlane_try_free()` → `free_tiny_fast()` 直接呼び出し）
|
|||
|
|
- free パスの重要性（Mixed では free が約 50%）
|
|||
|
|
- 実行安定性向上（変動係数 0.58%）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
累積効果（Phase 6）:
|
|||
|
|
- Phase 6-1: +11.13%
|
|||
|
|
- Phase 6-2: +5.18%
|
|||
|
|
- **累積**: ベースラインから約 +16-17% の性能向上
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Phase 7 FRONT-FASTLANE-FREE-HOTCOLD-ALIGNMENT: FastLane Free Hot/Cold Alignment — ❌ NO-GO / FROZEN
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
結果: Mixed 10-run mean **-2.16%** 回帰。Hot/Cold split は wrapper 経由では有効だが、FastLane の超軽量経路では分岐/統計/TLS の固定費が勝ち、monolithic の方が速い。
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- A/B 結果: `docs/analysis/PHASE7_FRONT_FASTLANE_FREE_HOTCOLD_1_AB_TEST_RESULTS.md`
|
|||
|
|
- 指示書（記録）: `docs/analysis/PHASE7_FRONT_FASTLANE_FREE_HOTCOLD_1_NEXT_INSTRUCTIONS.md`
|
|||
|
|
- 対処: Rollback 済み（FastLane free は `free_tiny_fast()` 維持）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Phase 8 FREE-STATIC-ROUTE-ENV-CACHE-FIX: FREE-STATIC-ROUTE ENV Cache Hardening — ✅ GO / 本線昇格
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
結果: Mixed 10-run mean **+2.61%**、標準偏差 **-61%**。`bench_profile` の `putenv()` が main 前の ENV キャッシュ事故に負けて D1 が効かない問題を修正し、既存の勝ち箱（Phase 3 D1）が確実に効く状態を作った（本線品質向上）。

### Phase 9 FREE-TINY-FAST MONO DUALHOT: monolithic `free_tiny_fast()` に C0–C3 direct 移植 — ✅ GO / 本線昇格
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
結果: Mixed 10-run mean **+2.72%**、標準偏差 **-60.8%**。Phase 7 の NO-GO（関数 split）を教訓に、monolithic 内 early-exit で “第2ホット（C0–C3）” を FastLane free にも通した。

|||
|
|
- Rollback: `export HAKMEM_FREE_TINY_FAST_MONO_DUALHOT=0`
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Phase 10 FREE-TINY-FAST MONO LEGACY DIRECT: monolithic `free_tiny_fast()` の LEGACY direct を C4–C7 へ拡張 — ✅ GO / 本線昇格
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
結果: Mixed 10-run mean **+1.89%**。nonlegacy_mask（ULTRA/MID/V7）キャッシュにより誤爆を防ぎつつ、Phase 9（C0–C3）で取り切れていない LEGACY 範囲（C4–C7）を direct でカバーした。

|
|||
|
|
- Rollback: `export HAKMEM_FREE_TINY_FAST_MONO_LEGACY_DIRECT=0`
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Phase 11 ENV Snapshot "maybe-fast" API — ❌ NO-GO / FROZEN（設計ミス）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
結果: Mixed 10-run mean **-8.35%**（51.65M → 47.33M ops/s）。`hakmem_env_snapshot_maybe_fast()` を inline 関数内で呼ぶことによる固定費が予想外に大きく、大幅な劣化が発生。
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
根本原因:
|
|||
|
|
- `maybe_fast()` を `tiny_legacy_fallback_free_base()`（inline）内で呼んだことで、毎回の free で `ctor_mode` check が走る
|
|||
|
|
- 既存設計（関数入口で 1 回だけ `enabled()` 判定）と異なり、inline helper 内での API 呼び出しは固定費が累積
|
|||
|
|
- コンパイラ最適化が阻害される（unconditional call vs conditional branch）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
教訓: ENV gate 最適化は **gate 自体**を改善すべきで、call site を変更すると逆効果。
|
|||
|
|

- 実装 + A/B: `docs/analysis/PHASE11_ENV_SNAPSHOT_MAYBE_FAST_1_AB_TEST_RESULTS.md`
|
|||
|
|
- コミット: `ad73ca554`（NO-GO 記録のみ、実装は完全 rollback）
|
|||
|
|
- 状態: **FROZEN**（ENV snapshot 参照の固定費削減は別アプローチが必要）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Phase 6-10 累積成果（マイルストーン達成）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**結果**: Mixed 10-run **+24.6%**（43.04M → 53.62M ops/s）🎉
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Phase 6-10 で達成した累積改善:
|
|||
|
|
- Phase 6-1 (FastLane): +11.13%（hakmem 史上最大の単一改善）
|
|||
|
|
- Phase 6-2 (Free DeDup): +5.18%
|
|||
|
|
- Phase 8 (ENV Cache Fix): +2.61%
|
|||
|
|
- Phase 9 (MONO DUALHOT): +2.72%
|
|||
|
|
- Phase 10 (MONO LEGACY DIRECT): +1.89%
|
|||
|
|
- Phase 7 (Hot/Cold Align): -2.16% (NO-GO)
|
|||
|
|
- Phase 11 (ENV maybe-fast): -8.35% (NO-GO)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
技術パターン（確立）:
|
|||
|
|
- ✅ Wrapper-level consolidation（層の集約）
|
|||
|
|
- ✅ Deduplication（重複削減）
|
|||
|
|
- ✅ Monolithic early-exit（関数 split より有効）
|
|||
|
|
- ❌ Function split for lightweight paths（軽量経路では逆効果）
|
|||
|
|
- ❌ Call-site API changes（inline hot path での helper 呼び出しは累積 overhead）

### Phase 12: Strategic Pause — ✅ COMPLETE（衝撃的発見）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Status**: 🚨 **CRITICAL FINDING** - System malloc が hakmem より **+63.7%** 速い
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Pause 実施結果**:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1. **Baseline 確定**（10-run）:
|
|||
|
|
- Mean: **51.76M ops/s**、Median: 51.74M、Stdev: 0.53M（CV 1.03% ✅）
|
|||
|
|
- 非常に安定した性能
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
2. **Health Check**: ✅ PASS（MIXED, C6-HEAVY）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
3. **Perf Stat**:
|
|||
|
|
- Throughput: 52.06M ops/s
|
|||
|
|
- IPC: **2.22**（良好）、Branch miss: **2.48%**（良好）
|
|||
|
|
- Cache/dTLB miss も少ない（locality 良好）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
4. **Allocator Comparison**（200M iterations）:
|
|||
|
|
| Allocator | Throughput | vs hakmem | RSS |
|
|||
|
|
|-----------|-----------|-----------|-----|
|
|||
|
|
| **hakmem** | 52.43M ops/s | Baseline | 33.8MB |
|
|||
|
|
| jemalloc | 48.60M ops/s | -7.3% | 35.6MB |
|
|||
|
|
| **system malloc** | **85.96M ops/s** | **+63.9%** 🚨 | N/A |
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**衝撃的発見**: System malloc (glibc ptmalloc2) が hakmem の **1.64 倍速い**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Gap 原因の仮説**（優先度順）:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1. **Header write overhead**（最優先）
|
|||
|
|
- hakmem: 各 allocation で 1-byte header write（400M writes / 200M iters）
|
|||
|
|
- system: user pointer = base（header write なし？）
|
|||
|
|
- **Expected ROI: +10-20%**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
2. **Thread cache implementation**（高 ROI）
|
|||
|
|
- system: tcache（glibc 2.26+、非常に高速）
|
|||
|
|
- hakmem: TinyUnifiedCache
|
|||
|
|
- **Expected ROI: +20-30%**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
3. **Metadata access pattern**（中 ROI）
|
|||
|
|
- hakmem: SuperSlab → Slab → Metadata の間接参照
|
|||
|
|
- system: chunk metadata 連続配置
|
|||
|
|
- **Expected ROI: +5-10%**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
4. **Classification overhead**（低 ROI）
|
|||
|
|
- hakmem: LUT + routing（FastLane で既に最適化）
|
|||
|
|
- **Expected ROI: +5%**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
5. **Freelist management**
|
|||
|
|
- hakmem: header に埋め込み
|
|||
|
|
- system: chunk 内配置（user data 再利用）
|
|||
|
|
- **Expected ROI: +5%**

### Phase 13: Header Write Elimination v1 — NEUTRAL (+0.78%) ⚠️ RESEARCH BOX
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Date**: 2025-12-14
|
|||
|
|
**Verdict**: **NEUTRAL (+0.78%)** — Frozen as research box (default OFF, manual opt-in)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Target**: steady-state の header write tax 削減（最優先仮説）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Strategy (v1)**:
|
|||
|
|
- **C7 freelist がヘッダを壊さない**形に寄せ、E5-2（write-once）を C7 にも適用可能にする
|
|||
|
|
- ENV: `HAKMEM_TINY_C7_PRESERVE_HEADER=0/1` (default: 0)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Results (4-Point Matrix)**:
|
|||
|
|
| Case | C7_PRESERVE | WRITE_ONCE | Mean (ops/s) | Delta | Verdict |
|
|||
|
|
|------|-------------|------------|--------------|-------|---------|
|
|||
|
|
| A (baseline) | 0 | 0 | 51,490,500 | — | — |
|
|||
|
|
| **B (E5-2 only)** | 0 | 1 | **52,070,600** | **+1.13%** | candidate |
|
|||
|
|
| C (C7 preserve) | 1 | 0 | 51,355,200 | -0.26% | NEUTRAL |
|
|||
|
|
| D (Phase 13 v1) | 1 | 1 | 51,891,902 | +0.78% | NEUTRAL |
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Key Findings**:
|
|||
|
|
1. **E5-2 (HAKMEM_TINY_HEADER_WRITE_ONCE=1) は “単発 +1.13%” を観測したが、20-run 再テストで NEUTRAL (+0.54%)**
|
|||
|
|
- 参照: `docs/analysis/PHASE5_E5_2_HEADER_WRITE_ONCE_RETEST_AB_TEST_RESULTS.md`
|
|||
|
|
- 結論: E5-2 は research box 維持（default OFF）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
2. **C7 preserve header alone: -0.26%** (slight regression)
|
|||
|
|
- C7 offset=1 memcpy overhead outweighs benefits
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
3. **Combined (Phase 13 v1): +0.78%** (positive but below GO)
|
|||
|
|
- C7 preserve reduces E5-2 gains
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Action**:
|
|||
|
|
- ✅ Freeze Phase 13 v1 as research box (default OFF)
|
|||
|
|
- ✅ Re-test Phase 5 E5-2 (WRITE_ONCE=1) with dedicated 20-run → NEUTRAL (+0.54%)

### Phase 5 E5-2: Header Write-Once — 再テスト NEUTRAL (+0.54%) ⚪
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Date**: 2025-12-14
|
|||
|
|
**Verdict**: ⚪ **NEUTRAL (+0.54%)** — Research box 維持（default OFF）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Motivation**: Phase 13 の 4点マトリクスで E5-2 単体が +1.13% を記録したため、専用 20-run で昇格可否を判定。

### Phase 14 v1: Pointer Chase Reduction (tcache-style) — NEUTRAL (+0.20%) ⚠️ RESEARCH BOX
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Date**: 2025-12-15
|
|||
|
|
**Verdict**: **NEUTRAL (+0.20%)** — Frozen as research box (default OFF, manual opt-in)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Target**: Reduce pointer-chase overhead with intrusive LIFO tcache layer (inspired by glibc tcache)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Strategy (v1)**:
|
|||
|
|
- Add intrusive LIFO tcache layer (L1) before existing array-based UnifiedCache
|
|||
|
|
- TLS per-class bins (head pointer + count)
|
|||
|
|
- Intrusive next pointers stored in blocks (via tiny_next_store/load SSOT)
|
|||
|
|
- Cap: 64 blocks per class (default, configurable)
|
|||
|
|
- ENV: `HAKMEM_TINY_TCACHE=0/1` (default: 0, OFF)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Results (Mixed 10-run)**:
|
|||
|
|
| Case | TCACHE | Mean (ops/s) | Median (ops/s) | Delta |
|
|||
|
|
|------|--------|--------------|----------------|-------|
|
|||
|
|
| A (baseline) | 0 | 51,083,379 | 50,955,866 | — |
|
|||
|
|
| B (optimized) | 1 | 51,186,838 | 51,255,986 | **+0.20%** (mean) / **+0.59%** (median) |
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Key Findings**:
|
|||
|
|
1. **Mean delta: +0.20%** (below +1.0% GO threshold → NEUTRAL)
|
|||
|
|
2. **Median delta: +0.59%** (slightly better stability, but still NEUTRAL)
|
|||
|
|
3. **Expected ROI (+15-25%) not achieved** on Mixed workload
|
|||
|
|
4. ⚠️ **v1 の統合点が “free 側中心” で、alloc ホットパス（`tiny_hot_alloc_fast()`）が tcache を消費しない**
|
|||
|
|
- 現状: `unified_cache_push()` は tcache に入るが、alloc 側は FIFO（`g_unified_cache[].slots`）のみ → tcache が実質 sink になりやすい
|
|||
|
|
- v1 の A/B は ROI を過小評価する可能性が高い（Phase 14 v2 で通電確認が必要）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Possible Reasons for Lower ROI**:
|
|||
|
|
- **Workload mismatch**: Mixed (16–1024B) spans C0-C7, but tcache benefits may be concentrated in hot classes (C2/C3)
|
|||
|
|
- **Existing cache efficiency**: UnifiedCache array access may already be well-cached in L1/L2
|
|||
|
|
- **Cap too small**: Default cap=64 may cause frequent overflow to array cache
|
|||
|
|
- **Intrusive next overhead**: Writing/reading next pointers may offset pointer-chase reduction
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Action**:
|
|||
|
|
- ✅ Freeze Phase 14 v1 as research box (default OFF)
|
|||
|
|
- ENV: `HAKMEM_TINY_TCACHE=0/1` (default: 0), `HAKMEM_TINY_TCACHE_CAP=64`

|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Future Work**: Consider per-class cap tuning or alternative pointer-chase reduction strategies
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Phase 14 v2: Pointer Chase Reduction — Hot Path Integration — NEUTRAL (+0.08%) ⚠️ RESEARCH BOX
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Date**: 2025-12-15
|
|||
|
|
**Verdict**: **NEUTRAL (+0.08% Mixed)** / **-0.39% (C7-only)** — research box 維持（default OFF）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Motivation**: Phase 14 v1 は “alloc 側が tcache を消費していない” 疑義があったため、`tiny_front_hot_box` の hot alloc/free に tcache を接続して再 A/B を実施。
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Results**:
|
|||
|
|
| Workload | TCACHE=0 | TCACHE=1 | Delta |
|
|||
|
|
|---------|----------|----------|-------|
|
|||
|
|
| Mixed (16–1024B) | 51,287,515 | 51,330,213 | **+0.08%** |
|
|||
|
|
| C7-only | 80,975,651 | 80,660,283 | **-0.39%** |
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Conclusion**:
|
|||
|
|
- v2 で通電は確認したが、Mixed の “本線” 改善にはならず（GO 閾値 +1.0% 未達）
|
|||
|
|
- Phase 14（tcache-style intrusive LIFO）は現状 **freeze 維持**が妥当
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Possible root causes**（次に掘るなら）:
|
|||
|
|
1. `tiny_next_load/store` の fence/補助処理が TLS-only tcache には重すぎる可能性
|
|||
|
|
2. `tiny_tcache_enabled/cap` の固定費（load/branch）が savings を相殺
|
|||
|
|
3. Mixed では bin ごとの hit 率が薄い（workload mismatch）

### Phase 15 v1: UnifiedCache FIFO→LIFO (Stack) — NEUTRAL (-0.70% Mixed, +0.42% C7) ⚠️ RESEARCH BOX
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Date**: 2025-12-15
|
|||
|
|
**Verdict**: **NEUTRAL (-0.70% Mixed, +0.42% C7-only)** — research box 維持（default OFF）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Motivation**: Phase 14（tcache intrusive）が NEUTRAL だったため、intrusive を増やさず、既存 `TinyUnifiedCache.slots[]` を FIFO ring から LIFO stack に変更して局所性改善を狙った。
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Results**:
|
|||
|
|
| Workload | LIFO=0 (FIFO) | LIFO=1 (LIFO) | Delta |
|
|||
|
|
|---------|----------|----------|-------|
|
|||
|
|
| Mixed (16–1024B) | 52,965,966 | 52,593,948 | **-0.70%** |
|
|||
|
|
| C7-only (1025–2048B) | 78,010,783 | 78,335,509 | **+0.42%** |
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Conclusion**:
|
|||
|
|
- LIFO への変更は期待した効果なし（Mixed で劣化、C7 で微改善だが両方 GO 閾値未達）
|
|||
|
|
- モード判定分岐オーバーヘッド（`tiny_unified_lifo_enabled()`）が局所性改善を相殺
|
|||
|
|
- 既存 FIFO ring 実装が既に十分最適化されている
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Root causes**:
|
|||
|
|
1. Entry-point mode check overhead (`tiny_unified_lifo_enabled()` call)
|
|||
|
|
2. Minimal LIFO vs FIFO locality delta in practice (cache warming mitigates)
|
|||
|
|
3. Existing FIFO ring already well-optimized
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Bonus**: LTO bug fix for `tiny_c7_preserve_header_enabled()` (Phase 13/14 latent issue)

### Phase 14-15 Summary: Pointer-Chase & Cache-Shape Research ⚠️
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Conclusion**: 両 Phase とも NEUTRAL（研究箱として凍結）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
| Phase | Approach | Mixed Delta | C7 Delta | Verdict |
|
|||
|
|
|-------|----------|-------------|----------|---------|
|
|||
|
|
| 14 v1 | tcache (free-side only) | +0.20% | N/A | NEUTRAL |
|
|||
|
|
| 14 v2 | tcache (alloc+free) | +0.08% | -0.39% | NEUTRAL |
|

|
|
| 15 v1 | FIFO→LIFO (array cache) | -0.70% | +0.42% | NEUTRAL |
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**教訓**:
|
|||
|
|
- Pointer-chase 削減も cache 形状変更も、現状の TLS array cache に対して有意な改善を生まない
|
|||
|
|
- 次の mimalloc gap（約 2.4x）を埋めるには、別次元のアプローチが必要

### Phase 16 v1: Front FastLane Alloc LEGACY Direct — ⚠️ NEUTRAL (+0.62%) — research box 維持（default OFF）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Date**: 2025-12-15
|
|||
|
|
**Verdict**: **NEUTRAL (+0.62% Mixed, +0.06% C6-heavy)** — research box 維持（default OFF）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Motivation**:
|
|||
|
|
- Phase 14-15 は freeze（cache-shape/pointer-chase の ROI が薄い）
|
|||
|
|
- free 側は "monolithic early-exit + dedup" が勝ち筋（Phase 9/10/6-2）
|
|||
|
|
- alloc 側も同じ勝ち筋で、LEGACY ルート時の route/policy 固定費を FastLane 入口で削る
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Results**:
|
|||
|
|
| Workload | ENV=0 (Baseline) | ENV=1 (Direct) | Delta |
|
|||
|
|
|---------|----------|----------|-------|
|
|||
|
|
| Mixed (16–1024B) | 47,510,791 | 47,803,890 | **+0.62%** |
|
|||
|
|
| C6-heavy (257–768B) | 21,134,240 | 21,147,197 | **+0.06%** |
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Critical Issue & Fix**:
|
|||
|
|
- **Segfault discovered**: Initial implementation crashed for C4-C7 during `unified_cache_refill()` → `tiny_next_read()`
|
|||
|
|
- **Root cause**: Refill logic incompatibility for classes C4-C7
|
|||
|
|
- **Safety fix**: Limited optimization to C0-C3 only (matching existing dualhot pattern)
|
|||
|
|
- Code constraint: `if (... && (unsigned)class_idx <= 3u)` added to line 96 of `front_fastlane_box.h`
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Conclusion**:
|
|||
|
|
- Optimization overlaps with existing dualhot (Phase ALLOC-TINY-FAST-DUALHOT-2) for C0-C3
|
|||
|
|
- Limited scope (C0-C3 only) reduces potential benefit
|
|||
|
|
- Route/policy overhead already minimized by Phase 6 FastLane collapse
|
|||
|
|
- Pattern continues from Phase 14-15: dispatch-layer optimizations showing NEUTRAL results
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Root causes of limited benefit**:
|
|||
|
|
1. Safety constraint: C4-C7 excluded due to refill bug
|
|||
|
|
2. Overlap with dualhot: C0-C3 already have direct path when dualhot enabled
|
|||
|
|
3. Route overhead not dominant: Phase 6 already collapsed major dispatch costs
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Recommendations**:
|
|||
|
|
- **Freeze as research box** (default OFF, no preset promotion)
|
|||
|
|
- **Investigate C4-C7 refill issue** before expanding scope
|
|||
|
|
- **Shift optimization focus** away from dispatch layers (Phase 14/15/16 all NEUTRAL)

### Phase 14-16 Summary: Post-FastLane Research Phases ⚠️
|
|||
|
|
|

|
|
**Conclusion**: Phase 14-16 全て NEUTRAL（研究箱として凍結）
|
|||
|
|
|

|
|
| Phase | Approach | Mixed Delta | Verdict |
|
|||
|
|
|-------|----------|-------------|---------|

|
|
| 16 v1 | Alloc LEGACY direct | **+0.62%** | **NEUTRAL** |
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**教訓**:
|
|||
|
|
- Pointer-chase 削減、cache 形状変更、dispatch early-exit いずれも有意な改善なし
|
|||
|
|
- Phase 6 FastLane collapse (入口固定費削減) 以降、dispatch/routing レイヤの最適化は ROI が薄い
|
|||
|
|
- 次の mimalloc gap（約 2.4x）を埋めるには、cache miss cost / memory layout / backend allocation 等の別次元が必要

### Phase 17: FORCE_LIBC Gap Validation（same-binary A/B）✅ COMPLETE (2025-12-15)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**目的**: 「system malloc が速い」観測の SSOT 化。**同一バイナリ**で `hakmem` vs `libc` を A/B し、gap の本体（allocator差 / layout差）を切り分ける。
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**結果**: **Case B 確定** — Allocator差 negligible (+0.39%), Layout penalty dominant (+73.57%)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Gap Breakdown** (Mixed, 20M iters, ws=400):
|
|||
|
|
- hakmem (FORCE_LIBC=0): 48.12M ops/s (mean), 48.12M ops/s (median)
|
|||
|
|
- libc same-binary (FORCE_LIBC=1): 48.31M ops/s (mean), 48.31M ops/s (median)
|
|||
|
|
- **Allocator差**: **+0.39%** (libc slightly faster, within noise)
|
|||
|
|
- system binary (21K): 83.85M ops/s (mean), 83.75M ops/s (median)
|
|||
|
|
- **Layout penalty**: **+73.57%** (small binary vs large binary 653K)
|
|||
|
|
- **Total gap**: **+74.26%** (hakmem → system binary)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Perf Stat Analysis** (200M iters, 1-run):
|
|||
|
|
- I-cache misses: 153K (hakmem) → 68K (system) = **-55%** (smoking gun)
|
|||
|
|
- Cycles: 17.9B → 10.2B = -43%
|
|||
|
|
- Instructions: 41.3B → 21.5B = -48%
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Root Cause**: Binary size (653K vs 21K, 30x difference) causes I-cache thrashing. Code bloat >> algorithmic efficiency.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**教訓**:
|
|||
|
|
- Phase 12 の「system malloc 1.6x faster」観測は正しかったが、原因は allocator アルゴリズムではなく **binary layout**
|
|||
|
|
- Same-binary A/B が必須（別バイナリ比較は layout confound で誤判定）
|
|||
|
|
- I-cache efficiency が allocator-heavy workload の first-order factor
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Next Direction** (Case B 推奨):
|
|||
|
|
- **Phase 18: Hot Text Isolation / Layout Control**
|
|||
|
|
- Priority 1: Cold code isolation (`__attribute__((cold,noinline))` + separate TU)
|
|||
|
|
- Priority 2: Link-order optimization (hot functions contiguous placement)
|
|||
|
|
- Priority 3: PGO (optional, profile-guided layout)
|
|||
|
|
- Target: +10% throughput via I-cache optimization (48.1M → 52.9M ops/s)
|
|||
|
|
- Success metric: I-cache misses -30% (153K → 107K)

### Phase 18: Hot Text Isolation — PROGRESS
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**目的**: Binary 最適化で system binary との gap (+74.26%) を削減する。Phase 17 で layout penalty が支配的と判明したため、2段階の戦略で対応。
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**戦略**:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
#### Phase 18 v1: Layout optimization (section-based) — ❌ NO-GO (2025-12-15)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**試行**: `-ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -Wl,--gc-sections` で I-cache 改善
|
|||
|
|
**結果**:
|
|||
|
|
- Throughput: -0.87% (48.94M → 48.52M ops/s)
|
|||
|
|
- I-cache misses: **+91.06%** (131K → 250K) ← 喫煙銃
|
|||
|
|
- Variance: +80%
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**原因**: Section splitting without explicit hot symbol ordering が code locality を破壊
|
|||
|
|
**教訓**: Layout tweaks は fragile。Ordering strategy がないと有害。
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**決定**: Freeze v1（Makefile で安全に隔離）
|
|||
|
|
- `HOT_TEXT_ISOLATION=1` → attributes only (safe, 効果なし)
|
|||
|
|
- `HOT_TEXT_GC_SECTIONS=1` → section splitting (NO-GO, disabled)

|||

|
|
- 結果: `docs/analysis/PHASE18_HOT_TEXT_ISOLATION_1_AB_TEST_RESULTS.md`
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
#### Phase 18 v2: BENCH_MINIMAL (instruction removal) — NEXT
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**戦略**: Instruction footprint を compile-time に削除
|
|||
|
|
- Stats collection: FRONT_FASTLANE_STAT_INC → no-op
|
|||
|
|
- ENV checks: runtime lookup → constant
|
|||
|
|
- Debug logging: 条件コンパイルで削除

## 更新メモ（2025-12-14 Phase 5 E5-3 Analysis - Strategic Pivot）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Phase 5 E5-3: Candidate Analysis & Strategic Recommendations ⚠️ DEFER (2025-12-14)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Decision**: **DEFER all E5-3 candidates** (E5-3a/b/c). Pivot to E5-4 (Malloc Direct Path, E5-1 pattern replication).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Analysis**:
|
|||
|
|
- **E5-3a (free_tiny_fast_cold 7.14%)**: NO-GO (cold path, low frequency despite high self%)
|
|||
|
|
- **E5-3b (unified_cache_push 3.39%)**: MAYBE (already optimized, marginal ROI ~+1.0%)
|
|||
|
|
- **E5-3c (hakmem_env_snapshot_enabled 2.97%)**: NO-GO (E3-4 precedent shows -1.44% regression)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Key Insight**: **Profiler self% ≠ optimization opportunity**
|
|||
|
|
- Self% is time-weighted (samples during execution), not frequency-weighted
|
|||
|
|
- Cold paths appear hot due to expensive operations when hit, not total cost
|
|||
|
|
- E5-2 lesson: 3.35% self% → +0.45% NEUTRAL (branch overhead ≈ savings)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**ROI Assessment**:
|
|||
|
|
| Candidate | Self% | Frequency | Expected Gain | Risk | Decision |
|
|||
|
|
|-----------|-------|-----------|---------------|------|----------|
|
|||
|
|
| E5-3a (cold path) | 7.14% | LOW | +0.5% | HIGH | NO-GO |
|
|||
|
|
| E5-3b (push) | 3.39% | HIGH | +1.0% | MEDIUM | DEFER |
|
|||
|
|
| E5-3c (env snapshot) | 2.97% | HIGH | -1.0% | HIGH | NO-GO |
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Strategic Pivot**: Focus on **E5-1 Success Pattern** (wrapper-level deduplication)
|
|||
|
|
- E5-1 (Free Tiny Direct): +3.35% (GO) ✅
|
|||
|
|
- **Next**: E5-4 (Malloc Tiny Direct) - Apply E5-1 pattern to alloc side
|
|||
|
|
- **Expected**: +2-4% (similar to E5-1, based on malloc wrapper overhead)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Cumulative Status (Phase 5)**:
|
|||
|
|
- E4-1 (Free Wrapper Snapshot): +3.51% standalone
|
|||
|
|
- E4-2 (Malloc Wrapper Snapshot): +21.83% standalone
|
|||
|
|
- E4 Combined: +6.43% (from baseline with both OFF)
|
|||
|
|
- E5-1 (Free Tiny Direct): +3.35% (from E4 baseline)
|
|||
|
|
- E5-2 (Header Write-Once): +0.45% NEUTRAL (frozen)
|
|||
|
|
- **E5-3**: **DEFER** (analysis complete, no implementation/test)
|
|||
|
|
- **Total Phase 5**: ~+9-10% cumulative (E4+E5-1 promoted, E5-2 frozen, E5-3 deferred)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Implementation** (E5-3a research box, NOT TESTED):
|
|||
|
|
- Files created:
|
|||
|
|
- `core/box/free_cold_shape_env_box.{h,c}` (ENV gate, default OFF)
|
|||
|
|
- `core/box/free_cold_shape_stats_box.{h,c}` (stats counters)
|
|||
|
|
- `docs/analysis/PHASE5_E5_3_ANALYSIS_AND_RECOMMENDATIONS.md` (analysis)
|
|||
|
|
- Files modified:
|
|||
|
|
- `core/front/malloc_tiny_fast.h` (lines 418-437, cold path shape optimization)
|
|||
|
|
- Pattern: Early exit for LEGACY path (skip LARSON check when !use_tiny_heap)
|
|||
|
|
- **Status**: FROZEN (default OFF, pre-analysis shows NO-GO, not worth A/B testing)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Key Lessons**:
|
|||
|
|
1. **Profiler self% misleads** when frequency is low (cold path)
|
|||
|
|
2. **Micro-optimizations plateau** in already-optimized code (E5-2, E5-3b)
|
|||
|
|
3. **Branch hints are profile-dependent** (E3-4 failure, E5-3c risk)
|
|||
|
|
4. **Wrapper-level deduplication wins** (E4-1, E4-2, E5-1 pattern)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Next Steps**:
|
|||
|
|
- **E5-4 Design**: Malloc Tiny Direct Path (E5-1 pattern for alloc)
|
|||
|
|
- Target: malloc() wrapper overhead (~12.95% self% in E4 profile)
|
|||
|
|
- Method: Single size check → direct call to malloc_tiny_fast_for_class()
|
|||
|
|
- Expected: +2-4% (based on E5-1 precedent +3.35%)

## 更新メモ（2025-12-14 Phase 5 E5-2 Complete - Header Write-Once）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Phase 5 E5-2: Header Write-Once Optimization ⚪ NEUTRAL (2025-12-14)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Target**: `tiny_region_id_write_header` (3.35% self%)
|
|||
|
|
- Strategy: Write headers ONCE at refill boundary, skip writes in hot allocation path
|
|||
|
|
- Hypothesis: Header writes are redundant for reused blocks (C1-C6 preserve headers)
|
|||
|
|
- Goal: +1-3% by eliminating redundant header writes
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**A/B Test Results** (Mixed, 10-run, 20M iters, ws=400):
|
|||
|
|
- Baseline (WRITE_ONCE=0): **44.22M ops/s** (mean), 44.53M ops/s (median), σ=0.96M
|
|||
|
|
- Optimized (WRITE_ONCE=1): **44.42M ops/s** (mean), 44.36M ops/s (median), σ=0.48M
|
|||
|
|
- **Delta: +0.45% mean, -0.38% median** ⚪
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Decision: NEUTRAL** (within ±1.0% threshold → FREEZE as research box)
|
|||
|
|
- Mean +0.45% < +1.0% GO threshold
|
|||
|
|
- Median -0.38% suggests no consistent benefit
|
|||
|
|
- Action: Keep as research box (default OFF, do not promote to preset)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Why NEUTRAL?**:
|
|||
|
|
1. **Assumption incorrect**: Headers are NOT redundant (already written correctly at freelist pop)
|
|||
|
|
2. **Branch overhead**: ENV gate + class check (~4 cycles) ≈ savings (~3-5 cycles)
|
|||
|
|
3. **Net effect**: Marginal benefit offset by branch overhead
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Positive Outcome**:
|
|||
|
|
- **Variance reduced 50%**: σ dropped from 0.96M → 0.48M ops/s
|
|||
|
|
- More stable performance (good for profiling/benchmarking)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Health Check**: ✅ PASS
|
|||
|
|
- MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE: 41.9M ops/s
|
|||
|
|
- C6_HEAVY_LEGACY_POOLV1: 22.6M ops/s
|
|||
|
|
- All profiles passed, no regressions
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Implementation** (FROZEN, default OFF):
|
|||
|
|
- ENV gate: `HAKMEM_TINY_HEADER_WRITE_ONCE=0/1` (default: 0, research box)
|
|||
|
|
- Files created:
|
|||
|
|
- `core/box/tiny_header_write_once_env_box.h` (ENV gate)
|
|||
|
|
- `core/box/tiny_header_write_once_stats_box.h` (Stats counters)
|
|||
|
|
- Files modified:
|
|||
|
|
- `core/box/tiny_header_box.h` (added `tiny_header_finalize_alloc()`)
|
|||
|
|
- `core/front/tiny_unified_cache.c` (added `unified_cache_prefill_headers()`)
|
|||
|
|
- `core/box/tiny_front_hot_box.h` (use `tiny_header_finalize_alloc()`)
|
|||
|
|
- Pattern: Prefill headers at refill boundary, skip writes in hot path
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Key Lessons**:
|
|||
|
|
1. **Verify assumptions**: perf self% doesn't always mean redundancy
|
|||
|
|
2. **Branch overhead matters**: Even "simple" checks can cancel savings
|
|||
|
|
3. **Variance is valuable**: Stability improvement is a secondary win
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Cumulative Status (Phase 5)**:
|
|||
|
|
- E4-1 (Free Wrapper Snapshot): +3.51% standalone
|
|||
|
|
- E4-2 (Malloc Wrapper Snapshot): +21.83% standalone
|
|||
|
|
- E4 Combined: +6.43% (from baseline with both OFF)
|
|||
|
|
- E5-1 (Free Tiny Direct): +3.35% (from E4 baseline)
|
|||
|
|
- **E5-2 (Header Write-Once): +0.45% NEUTRAL** (frozen as research box)
|
|||
|
|
- **Total Phase 5**: ~+9-10% cumulative (E4+E5-1 promoted, E5-2 frozen)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Next Steps**:
|
|||
|
|
- E5-2: FROZEN as research box (default OFF, do not pursue)
|
|||
|
|
- Profile new baseline (E4-1+E4-2+E5-1 ON) to identify next target

## 更新メモ（2025-12-14 Phase 5 E5-1 Complete - Free Tiny Direct Path）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Phase 5 E5-1: Free Tiny Direct Path ✅ GO (2025-12-14)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Target**: Wrapper-level Tiny direct path optimization (reduce 29.56% combined free overhead)
|
|||
|
|
- Strategy: Single header check in wrapper → direct call to free_tiny_fast()
|
|||
|
|
- Eliminates: Redundant header validation + ENV snapshot overhead + cold path route determination
|
|||
|
|
- Goal: Bypass wrapper tax for Tiny allocations (48% of frees in Mixed)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**A/B Test Results** (Mixed, 10-run, 20M iters, ws=400):
|
|||
|
|
- Baseline (DIRECT=0): **44.38M ops/s** (mean), 44.45M ops/s (median), σ=0.25M
|
|||
|
|
- Optimized (DIRECT=1): **45.87M ops/s** (mean), 45.95M ops/s (median), σ=0.33M
|
|||
|
|
- **Delta: +3.35% mean, +3.36% median** ✅
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Decision: GO** (+3.35% >= +1.0% threshold)
|
|||
|
|
- Exceeds conservative estimate (+3-5%) → Achieved +3.35%
|
|||
|
|
- Action: Promote to `MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE` preset (HAKMEM_FREE_TINY_DIRECT=1 default) ✅
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Health Check**: ✅ PASS
|
|||
|
|
- MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE: 41.9M ops/s
|
|||
|
|
- C6_HEAVY_LEGACY_POOLV1: 21.1M ops/s
|
|||
|
|
- All profiles passed, no regressions
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Implementation**:
|
|||
|
|
- ENV gate: `HAKMEM_FREE_TINY_DIRECT=0/1` (default: 0, preset(MIXED)=1)
|
|||
|
|
- Files created:
|
|||
|
|
- `core/box/free_tiny_direct_env_box.h` (ENV gate)
|
|||
|
|
- `core/box/free_tiny_direct_stats_box.h` (Stats counters)
|
|||
|
|
- Files modified:
|
|||
|
|
- `core/box/hak_wrappers.inc.h` (lines 593-625, wrapper integration)
|
|||
|
|
- Pattern: Single header check (`(header & 0xF0) == 0xA0`) → direct path
|
|||
|
|
- Safety: Page boundary guard, magic validation, class bounds check, fail-fast fallback
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Why +3.35%?**:
|
|||
|
|
1. **Before (E4 baseline)**:
|
|||
|
|
- free() wrapper: 21.67% self% (header + ENV snapshot + gate dispatch)
|
|||
|
|
- free_tiny_fast_cold(): 7.89% self% (route determination + policy snapshot)
|
|||
|
|
- **Total**: 29.56% overhead
|
|||
|
|
2. **After (E5-1)**:
|
|||
|
|
- free() wrapper: ~18-20% self% (single header check + direct call)
|
|||
|
|
- **Eliminated**: ~9-10% overhead (30% reduction of 29.56%)
|
|||
|
|
3. **Net gain**: ~3.5% of total runtime (matches observed +3.35%)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Key Insight**: Deduplication beats inlining. E5-1 eliminates redundant checks (header validated twice, ENV snapshot overhead), similar to E4's TLS consolidation pattern. This is the 3rd consecutive success with the "consolidation/deduplication" strategy.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Cumulative Status (Phase 5)**:
|
|||
|
|
- E4-1 (Free Wrapper Snapshot): +3.51% standalone
|
|||
|
|
- E4-2 (Malloc Wrapper Snapshot): +21.83% standalone
|
|||
|
|
- E4 Combined: +6.43% (from baseline with both OFF)
|
|||
|
|
- **E5-1 (Free Tiny Direct): +3.35%** (from E4 baseline, session variance)
|
|||
|
|
- **Total Phase 5**: ~+9-10% cumulative (needs combined E4+E5-1 measurement)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Next Steps**:
|
|||
|
|
- ✅ Promote: `HAKMEM_FREE_TINY_DIRECT=1` to `MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE` preset
|
|||
|
|
- ✅ E5-2: NEUTRAL → FREEZE
|
|||
|
|
- ✅ E5-3: DEFER（ROI 低）
|
|||
|
|
- ✅ E5-4: NEUTRAL → FREEZE
|
|||
|
|
- ✅ E6: NO-GO → FREEZE
|
|||
|
|
- ✅ E7: NO-GO（prune による -3%台回帰）→ 差し戻し
|
|||
|
|
- Next: Phase 5 はここで一旦区切り（次は新しい “重複排除” か大きい構造変更を探索）

## 更新メモ（2025-12-14 Phase 5 E4 Combined Complete - E4-1 + E4-2 Interaction Analysis）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Phase 5 E4 Combined: E4-1 + E4-2 同時有効化 ✅ GO (2025-12-14)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Target**: Measure combined effect of both wrapper ENV snapshots (free + malloc)
|
|||
|
|
- Strategy: Enable both HAKMEM_FREE_WRAPPER_ENV_SNAPSHOT=1 and HAKMEM_MALLOC_WRAPPER_ENV_SNAPSHOT=1
|
|||
|
|
- Goal: Verify interaction (additive / subadditive / superadditive) and establish new baseline
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**A/B Test Results** (Mixed, 10-run, 20M iters, ws=400):
|
|||
|
|
- Baseline (both OFF): **44.48M ops/s** (mean), 44.39M ops/s (median), σ=0.38M
|
|||
|
|
- Optimized (both ON): **47.34M ops/s** (mean), 47.38M ops/s (median), σ=0.42M
|
|||
|
|
- **Delta: +6.43% mean, +6.74% median** ✅
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Individual vs Combined**:
|
|||
|
|
- E4-1 alone (free wrapper): +3.51%
|
|||
|
|
- E4-2 alone (malloc wrapper): +21.83%
|
|||
|
|
- **Combined (both): +6.43%**
|
|||
|
|
- **Interaction: 非加算**（“単独” は別セッションの参考値。増分は E4 Combined A/B を正とする）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Analysis - Why Subadditive?**:
|
|||
|
|
1. **Baseline mismatch**: E4-1 と E4-2 の “単独” A/B は別セッション（別バイナリ状態）で測られており、前提が一致しない
|
|||
|
|
- E4-1: 45.35M → 46.94M（+3.51%）
|
|||
|
|
- E4-2: 35.74M → 43.54M（+21.83%）
|
|||
|
|
- 足し算期待値は作らず、同一バイナリでの **E4 Combined A/B** を “正” とする
|
|||
|
|
2. **Shared Bottlenecks**: Both optimizations target TLS read consolidation
|
|||
|
|
- Once TLS access is optimized in one path, benefits in the other path are reduced
|
|||
|
|
- Memory bandwidth / cache line effects are shared resources
|
|||
|
|
3. **Branch Predictor Saturation**: Both paths compete for branch predictor entries
|
|||
|
|
- ENV snapshot checks add branches that compete for same predictor resources
|
|||
|
|
- Combined overhead is non-linear
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Health Check**: ✅ PASS
|
|||
|
|
- MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE: 42.3M ops/s
|
|||
|
|
- C6_HEAVY_LEGACY_POOLV1: 20.9M ops/s
|
|||
|
|
- All profiles passed, no regressions
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Perf Profile** (New Baseline: both ON, 20M iters, 47.0M ops/s):
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Top Hot Spots (self% >= 2.0%):
|
|||
|
|
1. free: 37.56% (wrapper + gate, still dominant)
|
|||
|
|
2. tiny_alloc_gate_fast: 13.73% (alloc gate, reduced from 19.50%)
|
|||
|
|
3. malloc: 12.95% (wrapper, reduced from 16.13%)
|
|||
|
|
4. main: 11.13% (benchmark driver)
|
|||
|
|
5. tiny_region_id_write_header: 6.97% (header write cost)
|
|||
|
|
6. tiny_c7_ultra_alloc: 4.56% (C7 alloc path)
|
|||
|
|
7. hakmem_env_snapshot_enabled: 4.29% (ENV snapshot overhead, visible)
|
|||
|
|
8. tiny_get_max_size: 4.24% (size limit check)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Next Phase 5 Candidates** (self% >= 5%):
|
|||
|
|
- **free (37.56%)**: Still the largest hot spot, but harder to optimize further
|
|||
|
|
- Already has ENV snapshot, hotcold path, static routing
|
|||
|
|
- Next step: Analyze free path internals (tiny_free_fast structure)
|
|||
|
|
- **tiny_region_id_write_header (6.97%)**: Header write tax
|
|||
|
|
- Phase 1 A3 showed always_inline is NO-GO (-4% on Mixed)
|
|||
|
|
- Alternative: Reduce header writes (selective mode, cached writes)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Key Insight**: ENV snapshot pattern は有効だが、**複数パスに同時適用したときの増分は足し算にならない**。評価は同一バイナリでの **E4 Combined A/B**（+6.43%）を正とする。
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Decision: GO** (+6.43% >= +1.0% threshold)
|
|||
|
|
- New baseline: **47.34M ops/s** (Mixed, 20M iters, ws=400)
|
|||
|
|
- Both optimizations remain DEFAULT ON in MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE
|
|||
|
|
- Action: Shift focus to next bottleneck (free path internals or header write optimization)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Cumulative Status (Phase 5)**:
|
|||
|
|
- E4-1 (Free Wrapper Snapshot): +3.51% standalone
|
|||
|
|
- E4-2 (Malloc Wrapper Snapshot): +21.83% standalone (on top of E4-1)
|
|||
|
|
- **E4 Combined: +6.43%** (from original baseline with both OFF)
|
|||
|
|
- **Total Phase 5: +6.43%** (on top of Phase 4's +3.9%)
|
|||
|
|
- **Overall progress: 35.74M → 47.34M = +32.4%** (from Phase 5 start to E4 combined)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Next Steps**:
|
|||
|
|
- Profile analysis: Identify E5 candidates (free path, header write, or other hot spots)
|
|||
|
|
- Consider: free() fast path structure optimization (37.56% self% is large target)
|
|||
|
|
- Consider: Header write reduction strategies (6.97% self%)
|
|||
|
|
- Update design docs with subadditive interaction analysis

## 更新メモ（2025-12-14 Phase 5 E4-2 Complete - Malloc Gate Optimization）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Phase 5 E4-2: malloc Wrapper ENV Snapshot ✅ GO (2025-12-14)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Target**: Consolidate TLS reads in malloc() wrapper to reduce 35.63% combined hot spot
|
|||
|
|
- Strategy: Apply E4-1 success pattern (ENV snapshot consolidation) to malloc() side
|
|||
|
|
- Combined target: malloc (16.13%) + tiny_alloc_gate_fast (19.50%) = 35.63% self%
|
|||
|
|
- Implementation: Single TLS snapshot with packed flags (wrap_shape + front_gate + tiny_max_size_256)
|
|||
|
|
- Reduce: 2+ TLS reads → 1 TLS read, eliminate tiny_get_max_size() function call
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Implementation**:
|
|||
|
|
- ENV gate: `HAKMEM_MALLOC_WRAPPER_ENV_SNAPSHOT=0/1` (default: 0, research box)
|
|||
|
|
- Files: `core/box/malloc_wrapper_env_snapshot_box.{h,c}` (new ENV snapshot box)
|
|||
|
|
- Integration: `core/box/hak_wrappers.inc.h` (lines 174-221, malloc() wrapper)
|
|||
|
|
- Optimization: Pre-cache `tiny_max_size() == 256` to eliminate function call
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**A/B Test Results** (Mixed, 10-run, 20M iters, ws=400):
|
|||
|
|
- Baseline (SNAPSHOT=0): **35.74M ops/s** (mean), 35.75M ops/s (median), σ=0.43M
|
|||
|
|
- Optimized (SNAPSHOT=1): **43.54M ops/s** (mean), 43.92M ops/s (median), σ=1.17M
|
|||
|
|
- **Delta: +21.83% mean, +22.86% median** ✅
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Decision: GO** (+21.83% >> +1.0% threshold)
|
|||
|
|
- EXCEEDED conservative estimate (+2-4%) → Achieved **+21.83%**
|
|||
|
|
- 6.2x better than E4-1 (+3.51%) - malloc() has higher ROI than free()
|
|||
|
|
- Action: Promote to default configuration (HAKMEM_MALLOC_WRAPPER_ENV_SNAPSHOT=1)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Health Check**: ✅ PASS
|
|||
|
|
- MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE: 40.8M ops/s
|
|||
|
|
- C6_HEAVY_LEGACY_POOLV1: 21.8M ops/s
|
|||
|
|
- All profiles passed, no regressions
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Why 6.2x better than E4-1?**:
|
|||
|
|
1. **Higher Call Frequency**: malloc() called MORE than free() in alloc-heavy workloads
|
|||
|
|
2. **Function Call Elimination**: Pre-caching tiny_max_size()==256 removes function call overhead
|
|||
|
|
3. **Better Branch Prediction**: size <= 256 is highly predictable for tiny allocations
|
|||
|
|
4. **Larger Target**: 35.63% combined self% (malloc + tiny_alloc_gate_fast) vs free's 25.26%
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Key Insight**: malloc() wrapper optimization has **6.2x higher ROI** than free() wrapper. ENV snapshot pattern continues to dominate, with malloc side showing exceptional gains due to function call elimination and higher call frequency.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Cumulative Status (Phase 5)**:
|
|||
|
|
- E4-1 (Free Wrapper Snapshot): +3.51% (GO)
|
|||
|
|
- E4-2 (Malloc Wrapper Snapshot): +21.83% (GO) ⭐ **MAJOR WIN**
|
|||
|
|
- Combined estimate: ~+25-27% (to be measured with both enabled)
|
|||
|
|
- Total Phase 5: **+21.83%** standalone (on top of Phase 4's +3.9%)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Next Steps**:
|
|||
|
|
- Measure combined effect (E4-1 + E4-2 both enabled)
|
|||
|
|
- Profile new bottlenecks at 43.54M ops/s baseline
|
|||
|
|
- Update default presets with HAKMEM_MALLOC_WRAPPER_ENV_SNAPSHOT=1

|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Phase 5 E4-1: Free Wrapper ENV Snapshot ✅ GO (2025-12-14)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Target**: Consolidate TLS reads in free() wrapper to reduce 25.26% self% hot spot
|
|||
|
|
- Strategy: Apply E1 success pattern (ENV snapshot consolidation), NOT E3-4 failure pattern
|
|||
|
|
- Implementation: Single TLS snapshot with packed flags (wrap_shape + front_gate + hotcold)
|
|||
|
|
- Reduce: 2 TLS reads → 1 TLS read, 4 branches → 3 branches
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Implementation**:
|
|||
|
|
- ENV gate: `HAKMEM_FREE_WRAPPER_ENV_SNAPSHOT=0/1` (default: 0, research box)
|
|||
|
|
- Files: `core/box/free_wrapper_env_snapshot_box.{h,c}` (new ENV snapshot box)
|
|||
|
|
- Integration: `core/box/hak_wrappers.inc.h` (lines 552-580, free() wrapper)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**A/B Test Results** (Mixed, 10-run, 20M iters, ws=400):
|
|||
|
|
- Baseline (SNAPSHOT=0): **45.35M ops/s** (mean), 45.31M ops/s (median), σ=0.34M
|
|||
|
|
- Optimized (SNAPSHOT=1): **46.94M ops/s** (mean), 47.15M ops/s (median), σ=0.94M
|
|||
|
|
- **Delta: +3.51% mean, +4.07% median** ✅
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Decision: GO** (+3.51% >= +1.0% threshold)
|
|||
|
|
- Exceeded conservative estimate (+1.5%) → Achieved +3.51%
|
|||
|
|
- Similar to E1 success (+3.92%) - ENV consolidation pattern works
|
|||
|
|
- Action: Promote to `MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE` preset (HAKMEM_FREE_WRAPPER_ENV_SNAPSHOT=1 default)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Health Check**: ✅ PASS
|
|||
|
|
- MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE: 42.5M ops/s
|
|||
|
|
- C6_HEAVY_LEGACY_POOLV1: 23.0M ops/s
|
|||
|
|
- All profiles passed, no regressions
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Perf Profile** (SNAPSHOT=1, 20M iters):
|
|||
|
|
- free(): 25.26% (unchanged in this sample)
|
|||
|
|
- NEW hot spot: hakmem_env_snapshot_enabled: 4.67% (ENV snapshot overhead visible)
|
|||
|
|
- Note: Small sample (65 samples) may not be fully representative
|
|||
|
|
- Overall throughput improved +3.51% despite ENV snapshot overhead cost
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Key Insight**: ENV consolidation continues to yield strong returns. Free path optimization via TLS reduction proves effective, matching E1's success pattern. The visible ENV snapshot overhead (4.67%) is outweighed by overall path efficiency gains.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Cumulative Status (Phase 5)**:
|
|||
|
|
- E4-1 (Free Wrapper Snapshot): +3.51% (GO)
|
|||
|
|
- Total Phase 5: ~+3.5% (on top of Phase 4's +3.9%)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Next Steps**:
|
|||
|
|
- ✅ Promoted: `MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE` で `HAKMEM_FREE_WRAPPER_ENV_SNAPSHOT=1` を default 化（opt-out 可）
|
|||
|
|
- ✅ Promoted: `MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE` で `HAKMEM_MALLOC_WRAPPER_ENV_SNAPSHOT=1` を default 化（opt-out 可）
|
|||
|
|
- Next: E4-1+E4-2 の累積 A/B を 1 本だけ確認して、新 baseline で perf を取り直す

## 更新メモ（2025-12-14 Phase 4 E3-4 Complete - ENV Constructor Init）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Phase 4 E3-4: ENV Constructor Init ❌ NO-GO / FROZEN (2025-12-14)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Target**: E1 の lazy init check（3.22% self%）を constructor init で排除
|
|||
|
|
- E1 で ENV snapshot を統合したが、`hakmem_env_snapshot_enabled()` の lazy check が残っていた
|
|||
|
|
- Strategy: `__attribute__((constructor(101)))` で main() 前に gate 初期化
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Implementation**:
|
|||
|
|
- ENV gate: `HAKMEM_ENV_SNAPSHOT_CTOR=0/1` (default: 0, research box)
|
|||
|
|
- `core/box/hakmem_env_snapshot_box.c`: Constructor function 追加
|
|||
|
|
- `core/box/hakmem_env_snapshot_box.h`: Dual-mode enabled check (constructor vs legacy)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**A/B Test Results（re-validation）** (Mixed, 10-run, 20M iters, ws=400, HAKMEM_ENV_SNAPSHOT=1):
|
|||
|
|
- Baseline (CTOR=0): **47.55M ops/s** (mean), 47.46M ops/s (median)
|
|||
|
|
- Optimized (CTOR=1): **46.86M ops/s** (mean), 46.97M ops/s (median)
|
|||
|
|
- **Delta: -1.44% mean, -1.03% median** ❌
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Decision: NO-GO / FROZEN**
|
|||
|
|
- 初回の +4.75% は再現しない（ノイズ/環境要因の可能性が高い）
|
|||
|
|
- constructor mode は “追加の分岐/ロード” になり、現状の hot path では得にならない
|
|||
|
|
- Action: default OFF のまま freeze（追わない）
|
|||
|
|
- Design doc: `docs/analysis/PHASE4_E3_ENV_CONSTRUCTOR_INIT_DESIGN.md`
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Key Insight**: “constructor で初期化” 自体は安全だが、性能面では現状 NO-GO。勝ち箱は E1 に集中する。
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Cumulative Status (Phase 4)**:
|
|||
|
|
- E1 (ENV Snapshot): +3.92% (GO)
|
|||
|
|
- E2 (Alloc Per-Class): -0.21% (NEUTRAL, frozen)
|
|||
|
|
- E3-4 (Constructor Init): NO-GO / frozen
|
|||
|
|
- Total Phase 4: ~+3.9%（E1 のみ）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
---
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Phase 4 E2: Alloc Per-Class FastPath ⚪ NEUTRAL (2025-12-14)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Target**: C0-C3 dedicated fast path for alloc (bypass policy route for small sizes)
|
|||
|
|
- Strategy: Skip policy snapshot + route determination for C0-C3 classes
|
|||
|
|
- Reuse DUALHOT pattern from free path (which achieved +13% for C0-C3)
|
|||
|
|
- Baseline: HAKMEM_ENV_SNAPSHOT=1 enabled (E1 active)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Implementation**:
|
|||
|
|
- ENV gate: `HAKMEM_TINY_ALLOC_DUALHOT=0/1` (already exists, default: 0)
|
|||
|
|
- Integration: `malloc_tiny_fast_for_class()` lines 247-259
|
|||
|
|
- C0-C3 check: Direct to LEGACY unified cache when enabled
|
|||
|
|
- Pattern: Probe window lazy init (64-call tolerance for early putenv)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**A/B Test Results** (Mixed, 10-run, 20M iters, HAKMEM_ENV_SNAPSHOT=1):
|
|||
|
|
- Baseline (DUALHOT=0): **45.40M ops/s** (mean), 45.51M ops/s (median), σ=0.38M
|
|||
|
|
- Optimized (DUALHOT=1): **45.30M ops/s** (mean), 45.22M ops/s (median), σ=0.49M
|
|||
|
|
- **Improvement: -0.21% mean, -0.62% median**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Decision: NEUTRAL** (-0.21% within ±1.0% noise threshold)
|
|||
|
|
- Action: Keep as research box (default OFF, freeze)
|
|||
|
|
- Reason: C0-C3 fast path adds branch overhead without measurable gain on Mixed
|
|||
|
|
- Unlike FREE path (+13%), ALLOC path doesn't show significant route determination cost
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Key Insight**:
|
|||
|
|
- Free path benefits from DUALHOT because it skips expensive policy snapshot + route lookup
|
|||
|
|
- Alloc path already has optimized route caching (Phase 3 C3 static routing)
|
|||
|
|
- C0-C3 specialization doesn't provide additional benefit over current routing
|
|||
|
|
- Conclusion: Alloc route optimization has reached diminishing returns
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Cumulative Status**:
|
|||
|
|
- Phase 4 E1: +3.92% (GO)
|
|||
|
|
- Phase 4 E2: -0.21% (NEUTRAL, frozen)
|
|||
|
|
- Phase 4 E3-4: NO-GO / frozen
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Next: Phase 4（close & next target）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- 勝ち箱: E1 を `MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE` プリセットへ昇格（opt-out 可）
|
|||
|
|
- 研究箱: E3-4/E2 は freeze（default OFF）
|
|||
|
|
- 次の芯は perf で “self% ≥ 5%” の箱から選ぶ
|
|||

### Phase 4 E1: ENV Snapshot Consolidation ✅ COMPLETE (2025-12-14)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Target**: Consolidate 3 ENV gate TLS reads → 1 TLS read
|
|||
|
|
- `tiny_c7_ultra_enabled_env()`: 1.28% self
|
|||
|
|
- `tiny_front_v3_enabled()`: 1.01% self
|
|||
|
|
- `tiny_metadata_cache_enabled()`: 0.97% self
|
|||
|
|
- **Total ENV overhead: 3.26% self** (from perf profile)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Implementation**:
|
|||
|
|
- Created `core/box/hakmem_env_snapshot_box.{h,c}` (new ENV snapshot box)
|
|||
|
|
- Migrated 8 call sites across 3 hot path files to use snapshot
|
|||
|
|
- ENV gate: `HAKMEM_ENV_SNAPSHOT=0/1` (default: 0, research box)
|
|||
|
|
- Pattern: Similar to `tiny_front_v3_snapshot` (proven approach)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**A/B Test Results** (Mixed, 10-run, 20M iters):
|
|||
|
|
- Baseline (E1=0): **43.62M ops/s** (avg), 43.56M ops/s (median)
|
|||
|
|
- Optimized (E1=1): **45.33M ops/s** (avg), 45.31M ops/s (median)
|
|||
|
|
- **Improvement: +3.92% avg, +4.01% median**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Decision: GO** (+3.92% >= +2.5% threshold)
|
|||
|
|
- Exceeded conservative expectation (+1-3%) → Achieved +3.92%
|
|||
|
|
- Action: Keep as research box for now (default OFF)
|
|||
|
|
- Commit: `88717a873`
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Key Insight**: Shifting from shape optimizations (plateaued) to TLS/memory overhead yields strong returns. ENV snapshot consolidation represents new optimization frontier beyond branch prediction tuning.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Phase 4 Perf Profiling Complete ✅ (2025-12-14)

|
|
**Key Findings Leading to E1**:
|
|||
|
|
1. ENV Gate Overhead (3.26% combined) → **E1 target**
|
|||
|
|
2. Shape Optimization Plateau (B3 +2.89%, D3 +0.56% NEUTRAL)
|
|||
|
|
3. tiny_alloc_gate_fast (15.37% self%) → defer to E2
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Phase 4 D3: Alloc Gate Shape（HAKMEM_ALLOC_GATE_SHAPE）
|
|||
|
|
- ✅ 実装完了（ENV gate + alloc gate 分岐形）
|
|||
|
|
- Mixed A/B（10-run, iter=20M, ws=400）: Mean **+0.56%**（Median -0.5%）→ **NEUTRAL**
|
|||
|
|
- 判定: research box として freeze（default OFF、プリセット昇格しない）
|
|||
|
|
- **Lesson**: Shape optimizations have plateaued (branch prediction saturated)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Phase 1 Quick Wins: FREE 昇格 + 観測税ゼロ化
|
|||
|
|
- ✅ **A1（FREE 昇格）**: `MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE` で `HAKMEM_FREE_TINY_FAST_HOTCOLD=1` をデフォルト化
|
|||
|
|
- ✅ **A2（観測税ゼロ化）**: `HAKMEM_DEBUG_COUNTERS=0` のとき stats を compile-out（観測税ゼロ）
|
|||
|
|
- ❌ **A3（always_inline header）**: `tiny_region_id_write_header()` always_inline → **NO-GO**（指示書/結果: `docs/analysis/TINY_HEADER_WRITE_ALWAYS_INLINE_A3_DESIGN.md`）
|
|||
|
|
- A/B Result: Mixed -4.00% (I-cache pressure), C6-heavy +6.00%
|
|||
|
|
- Decision: Freeze as research box (default OFF)
|
|||
|
|
- Commit: `df37baa50`
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Phase 2: ALLOC 構造修正
|
|||
|
|
- ✅ **Patch 1**: malloc_tiny_fast_for_class() 抽出（SSOT）
|
|||
|
|
- ✅ **Patch 2**: tiny_alloc_gate_fast() を *_for_class 呼びに変更
|
|||
|
|
- ✅ **Patch 3**: DUALHOT 分岐をクラス内へ移動（C0-C3 のみ）
|
|||
|
|
- ✅ **Patch 4**: Probe window ENV gate 実装
|
|||
|
|
- 結果: Mixed -0.27%（中立）、C6-heavy +1.68%（SSOT 効果）
|
|||
|
|
- Commit: `d0f939c2e`
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Phase 2 B1 & B3: ルーティング最適化 (2025-12-13)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**B1（Header tax 削減 v2）: HEADER_MODE=LIGHT** → ❌ **NO-GO**
|
|||
|
|
- Mixed (10-run): 48.89M → 47.65M ops/s (**-2.54%**, regression)
|
|||
|
|
- Decision: FREEZE (research box, ENV opt-in)
|
|||
|
|
- Rationale: Conditional check overhead outweighs store savings on Mixed
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**B3（Routing 分岐形最適化）: ALLOC_ROUTE_SHAPE=1** → ✅ **ADOPT**
|
|||
|
|
- Mixed (10-run): 48.41M → 49.80M ops/s (**+2.89%**, win)
|
|||
|
|
- Strategy: LIKELY on LEGACY (hot), cold helper for rare routes (V7/MID/ULTRA)
|
|||
|
|
- C6-heavy (5-run): 8.97M → 9.79M ops/s (**+9.13%**, strong win)
|
|||
|
|
- Decision: **ADOPT as default** in MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE and C6_HEAVY_LEGACY_POOLV1
|
|||
|
|
- Implementation: Already in place (lines 252-267 in malloc_tiny_fast.h), now enabled by default
|
|||
|
|
- Profile updates: Added `bench_setenv_default("HAKMEM_TINY_ALLOC_ROUTE_SHAPE", "1")` to both profiles
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## 現在地: Phase 3 D1/D2 Validation Complete ✅ (2025-12-13)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Summary**:
|
|||
|
|
- **Phase 3 D1 (Free Route Cache)**: ✅ ADOPT - PROMOTED TO DEFAULT
|
|||
|
|
- 20-run validation: Mean +2.19%, Median +2.37% (both criteria met)
|
|||
|
|
- Status: Added to MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE preset (HAKMEM_FREE_STATIC_ROUTE=1)
|
|||
|
|
- **Phase 3 D2 (Wrapper Env Cache)**: ❌ NO-GO / FROZEN
|
|||
|
|
- 10-run results: -1.44% regression
|
|||
|
|
- Reason: TLS overhead > benefit in Mixed workload
|
|||
|
|
- Status: Research box frozen (default OFF, do not pursue)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Cumulative gains**: B3 +2.89%, B4 +1.47%, C3 +2.20%, D1 +2.19% (promoted) → **~7.6%**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Baseline Phase 3** (10-run, 2025-12-13):
|
|||
|
|
- Mean: 46.04M ops/s, Median: 46.04M ops/s, StdDev: 0.14M ops/s
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Next**:
|
|||
|
|
- Phase 4 D3 指示書: `docs/analysis/PHASE4_ALLOC_GATE_SPECIALIZATION_NEXT_INSTRUCTIONS.md`
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Phase ALLOC-GATE-SSOT-1 + ALLOC-TINY-FAST-DUALHOT-2: COMPLETED
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**4 Patches Implemented** (2025-12-13):
|
|||
|
|
1. ✅ Extract malloc_tiny_fast_for_class() with class_idx parameter (SSOT foundation)
|
|||
|
|
2. ✅ Update tiny_alloc_gate_fast() to call *_for_class (eliminate duplicate size→class)
|
|||
|
|
3. ✅ Reposition DUALHOT branch: only C0-C3 evaluate alloc_dualhot_enabled()
|
|||
|
|
4. ✅ Probe window ENV gate (64 calls) for early putenv tolerance
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**A/B Test Results**:
|
|||
|
|
- **Mixed (10-run)**: 48.75M → 48.62M ops/s (**-0.27%**, neutral within variance)
|
|||
|
|
- Rationale: SSOT overhead reduction offset by branch repositioning cost on aggregate
|
|||
|
|
- **C6-heavy (5-run)**: 23.24M → 23.63M ops/s (**+1.68%**, SSOT benefit confirmed)
|
|||
|
|
- SSOT effectiveness: Eliminates duplicate hak_tiny_size_to_class() call
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Decision**: ADOPT SSOT (Patch 1+2) as structural improvement, DUALHOT-2 (Patch 3) as ENV-gated feature (default OFF)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Rationale**:
|
|||
|
|
- SSOT is foundational: Establishes single source of truth for size→class lookup
|
|||
|
|
- Enables future optimization: *_for_class path can be specialized further
|
|||
|
|
- No regression: Mixed neutral, C6-heavy shows SSOT benefit (+1.68%)
|
|||
|
|
- DUALHOT-2 maintains clean branch structure: C4-C7 unaffected when OFF
|
|||

### Phase FREE-TINY-FAST-DUALHOT-1: CONFIRMED & READY FOR ADOPTION
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Final A/B Verification (2025-12-13)**:
|
|||
|
|
- **Baseline (DUALHOT OFF)**: 42.08M ops/s (median, 10-run, Mixed)
|
|||
|
|
- **Optimized (DUALHOT ON)**: 47.81M ops/s (median, 10-run, Mixed)
|
|||
|
|
- **Improvement**: **+13.00%** ✅
|
|||
|
|
- **Health Check**: PASS (verify_health_profiles.sh)
|
|||
|
|
- **Safety Gate**: HAKMEM_TINY_LARSON_FIX=1 disables for compatibility
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Strategy**: Recognize C0-C3 (48% of frees) as "second hot path"
|
|||
|
|
- Skip policy snapshot + route determination for C0-C3 classes
|
|||
|
|
- Direct inline to `tiny_legacy_fallback_free_base()`
|
|||
|
|
- Implementation: `core/front/malloc_tiny_fast.h` lines 461-477
|
|||
|
|
- Commit: `2b567ac07` + `b2724e6f5`
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Promotion Candidate**: YES - Ready for MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE default profile
|
|||

|
### Phase ALLOC-TINY-FAST-DUALHOT-1: RESEARCH BOX ✅ (WIP, -2% regression)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Implementation Attempt**:
|
|||
|
|
- ENV gate: `HAKMEM_TINY_ALLOC_DUALHOT=0/1` (default OFF)
|
|||
|
|
- Early-exit: `malloc_tiny_fast()` lines 169-179
|
|||
|
|
- A/B Result: **-1.17% to -2.00%** regression (10-run Mixed)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Root Cause**:
|
|||
|
|
- Unlike FREE path (early return saves policy snapshot), ALLOC path falls through
|
|||
|
|
- Extra branch evaluation on C4-C7 (~50% of traffic) outweighs C0-C3 policy skip
|
|||
|
|
- Requires structural changes (per-class fast paths) to match FREE success
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Decision**: Freeze as research box (default OFF, retained for future study)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||

## Phase 2 B4: Wrapper Layer Hot/Cold Split ✅ ADOPT
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**設計メモ**: `docs/analysis/PHASE2_B4_WRAPPER_SHAPE_1_DESIGN.md`
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**狙い**: wrapper 入口の "稀なチェック"（LD mode、jemalloc、診断）を `noinline,cold` に押し出す
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### 実装完了 ✅
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**✅ 完全実装**:
|
|||
|
|
- ENV gate: `HAKMEM_WRAP_SHAPE=0/1`（wrapper_env_box.h/c）
|
|||
|
|
- malloc_cold(): noinline,cold ヘルパー実装済み（lines 93-142）
|
|||
|
|
- malloc hot/cold 分割: 実装済み（lines 169-200 で ENV gate チェック）
|
|||
|
|
- free_cold(): noinline,cold ヘルパー実装済み（lines 321-520）
|
|||
|
|
- **free hot/cold 分割**: 実装済み（lines 550-574 で wrap_shape dispatch）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### A/B テスト結果 ✅ GO
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Mixed Benchmark (10-run)**:
|
|||
|
|
- WRAP_SHAPE=0 (default): 34,750,578 ops/s
|
|||
|
|
- WRAP_SHAPE=1 (optimized): 35,262,596 ops/s
|
|||
|
|
- **Average gain: +1.47%** ✓ (Median: +1.39%)
|
|||
|
|
- **Decision: GO** ✓ (exceeds +1.0% threshold)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Sanity Check 結果**:
|
|||
|
|
- WRAP_SHAPE=0 (default): 34,366,782 ops/s (3-run)
|
|||
|
|
- WRAP_SHAPE=1 (optimized): 34,999,056 ops/s (3-run)
|
|||
|
|
- **Delta: +1.84%** ✅（malloc + free 完全実装）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**C6-heavy**: Deferred（pre-existing linker issue in bench_allocators_hakmem, not B4-related）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Decision**: ✅ **ADOPT as default** (Mixed +1.47% >= +1.0% threshold)
|
|||
|
|
- ✅ Done: `MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE` プリセットで `HAKMEM_WRAP_SHAPE=1` を default 化（bench_profile）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Phase 1: Quick Wins（完了）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- ✅ **A1（FREE 勝ち箱の本線昇格）**: `MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE` で `HAKMEM_FREE_TINY_FAST_HOTCOLD=1` を default 化（ADOPT）
|
|||
|
|
- ✅ **A2（観測税ゼロ化）**: `HAKMEM_DEBUG_COUNTERS=0` のとき stats を compile-out（ADOPT）
|
|||
|
|
- ❌ **A3（always_inline header）**: Mixed -4% 回帰のため NO-GO → research box freeze（`docs/analysis/TINY_HEADER_WRITE_ALWAYS_INLINE_A3_DESIGN.md`）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Phase 2: Structural Changes（進行中）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- ❌ **B1（Header tax 削減 v2）**: `HAKMEM_TINY_HEADER_MODE=LIGHT` は Mixed -2.54% → NO-GO / freeze（`docs/analysis/PHASE2_B1_HEADER_TAX_AB_TEST_RESULTS.md`）
|
|||
|
|
- ✅ **B3（Routing 分岐形最適化）**: `HAKMEM_TINY_ALLOC_ROUTE_SHAPE=1` は Mixed +2.89% / C6-heavy +9.13% → ADOPT（プリセット default=1）
|
|||
|
|
- ✅ **B4（WRAPPER-SHAPE-1）**: `HAKMEM_WRAP_SHAPE=1` は Mixed +1.47% → ADOPT（`docs/analysis/PHASE2_B4_WRAPPER_SHAPE_1_DESIGN.md`）
|
|||
|
|
- （保留）**B2**: C0–C3 専用 alloc fast path（入口短絡は回帰リスク高。B4 の後に判断）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Phase 3: Cache Locality - Target: +12-22% (57-68M ops/s)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**指示書**: `docs/analysis/PHASE3_CACHE_LOCALITY_NEXT_INSTRUCTIONS.md`
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
#### Phase 3 C3: Static Routing ✅ ADOPT
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**設計メモ**: `docs/analysis/PHASE3_C3_STATIC_ROUTING_1_DESIGN.md`
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**狙い**: policy_snapshot + learner evaluation をバイパスするために、初期化時に静的ルーティングテーブルを構築
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**実装完了** ✅:
|
|||
|
|
- `core/box/tiny_static_route_box.h` (API header + hot path functions)
|
|||
|
|
- `core/box/tiny_static_route_box.c` (initialization + ENV gate + learner interlock)
|
|||
|
|
- `core/front/malloc_tiny_fast.h` (lines 249-256) - 統合: `tiny_static_route_ready_fast()` で分岐
|
|||
|
|
- `core/bench_profile.h` (line 77) - MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE プリセットで `HAKMEM_TINY_STATIC_ROUTE=1` を default 化
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**A/B テスト結果** ✅ GO:
|
|||
|
|
- Mixed (10-run): 38,910,792 → 39,768,006 ops/s (**+2.20% average gain**, median +1.98%)
|
|||
|
|
- Decision: ✅ **ADOPT** (exceeds +1.0% GO threshold)
|
|||
|
|
- Rationale: policy_snapshot is light (L1 cache resident), but atomic+branch overhead makes +2.2% realistic
|
|||
|
|
- Learner Interlock: Static route auto-disables when HAKMEM_SMALL_LEARNER_V7_ENABLED=1 (safe)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Current Cumulative Gain** (Phase 2-3):
|
|||
|
|
- B3 (Routing shape): +2.89%
|
|||
|
|
- B4 (Wrapper split): +1.47%
|
|||
|
|
- C3 (Static routing): +2.20%
|
|||
|
|
- **Total: ~6.8%** (baseline 35.2M → ~39.8M ops/s)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
#### Phase 3 C1: TLS Cache Prefetch 🔬 NEUTRAL / FREEZE
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**設計メモ**: `docs/analysis/PHASE3_C1_TLS_PREFETCH_1_DESIGN.md`
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**狙い**: malloc ホットパス LEGACY 入口で `g_unified_cache[class_idx]` を L1 prefetch（数十クロック早期）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**実装完了** ✅:
|
|||
|
|
- `core/front/malloc_tiny_fast.h` (lines 264-267, 331-334)
|
|||
|
|
- env_cfg->alloc_route_shape=1 の fast path（線264-267）
|
|||
|
|
- env_cfg->alloc_route_shape=0 の fallback path（線331-334）
|
|||
|
|
- ENV gate: `HAKMEM_TINY_PREFETCH=0/1`（default 0）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**A/B テスト結果** 🔬 NEUTRAL:
|
|||
|
|
- Mixed (10-run): 39,335,109 → 39,203,334 ops/s (**-0.34% average**, median **+1.28%**)
|
|||
|
|
- Average gain: -0.34%（わずかな回帰、±1.0% 範囲内）
|
|||
|
|
- Median gain: +1.28%（閾値超え）
|
|||
|
|
- **Decision: NEUTRAL** （研究箱維持、デフォルト OFF）
|
|||
|
|
- 理由: Average で -0.34% なので、prefetch 効果が噪音範囲
|
|||
|
|
- Prefetch は "当たるかどうか" が不確定（TLS access timing dependent）
|
|||
|
|
- ホットパス後（tiny_hot_alloc_fast 直前）での実行では効果限定的
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**技術考察**:
|
|||
|
|
- prefetch が効果を発揮するには、L1 miss が発生する必要がある
|
|||
|
|
- TLS キャッシュは unified_cache_pop() で素早くアクセス（head/tail インデックス）
|
|||
|
|
- 実際のメモリ待ちは slots[] 配列へのアクセス時（prefetch より後）
|
|||
|
|
- 改善案: prefetch をもっと早期（route_kind 決定前）に移動するか、形状を変更
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
#### Phase 3 C2: Slab Metadata Cache Optimization 🔬 NEUTRAL / FREEZE
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**設計メモ**: `docs/analysis/PHASE3_C2_METADATA_CACHE_1_DESIGN.md`
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**狙い**: Free path で metadata access（policy snapshot, slab descriptor）の cache locality を改善
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**3 Patches 実装完了** ✅:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1. **Policy Hot Cache** (Patch 1):
|
|||
|
|
- TinyPolicyHot struct: route_kind[8] を TLS にキャッシュ（9 bytes packed）
|
|||
|
|
- policy_snapshot() 呼び出しを削減（~2 memory ops 節約）
|
|||
|
|
- Safety: learner v7 active 時は自動的に disable
|
|||
|
|
- Files: `core/box/tiny_metadata_cache_env_box.h`, `tiny_metadata_cache_hot_box.{h,c}`
|
|||
|
|
- Integration: `core/front/malloc_tiny_fast.h` (line 256) route selection
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
2. **First Page Inline Cache** (Patch 2):
|
|||
|
|
- TinyFirstPageCache struct: current slab page pointer を TLS per-class にキャッシュ
|
|||
|
|
- superslab metadata lookup を回避（1-2 memory ops）
|
|||
|
|
- Fast-path check in `tiny_legacy_fallback_free_base()`
|
|||
|
|
- Files: `core/front/tiny_first_page_cache.h`, `tiny_unified_cache.c`
|
|||
|
|
- Integration: `core/box/tiny_legacy_fallback_box.h` (lines 27-36)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
3. **Bounds Check Compile-out** (Patch 3):
|
|||
|
|
- unified_cache capacity を MACRO constant 化（2048 hardcode）
|
|||
|
|
- modulo 演算を compile-time 最適化（`& MASK`）
|
|||
|
|
- Macros: `TINY_UNIFIED_CACHE_CAPACITY_POW2=11`, `CAPACITY=2048`, `MASK=2047`
|
|||
|
|
- File: `core/front/tiny_unified_cache.h` (lines 35-41)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**A/B テスト結果** 🔬 NEUTRAL:
|
|||
|
|
- Mixed (10-run):
|
|||
|
|
- Baseline (C2=0): 40,433,519 ops/s (avg), 40,722,094 ops/s (median)
|
|||
|
|
- Optimized (C2=1): 40,252,836 ops/s (avg), 40,291,762 ops/s (median)
|
|||
|
|
- **Average gain: -0.45%**, **Median gain: -1.06%**
|
|||
|
|
- **Decision: NEUTRAL** (within ±1.0% threshold)
|
|||
|
|
- Action: Keep as research box (ENV gate OFF by default)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Rationale**:
|
|||
|
|
- Policy hot cache: learner との interlock コストが高い（プローブ時に毎回 check）
|
|||
|
|
- First page cache: 現在の free path は unified_cache push のみ（superslab lookup なし）
|
|||
|
|
- 効果を発揮するには drain path への統合が必要（将来の最適化）
|
|||
|
|
- Bounds check: すでにコンパイラが最適化済み（power-of-2 detection）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Current Cumulative Gain** (Phase 2-3):
|
|||
|
|
- B3 (Routing shape): +2.89%
|
|||
|
|
- B4 (Wrapper split): +1.47%
|
|||
|
|
- C3 (Static routing): +2.20%
|
|||
|
|
- C2 (Metadata cache): -0.45%
|
|||
|
|
- D1 (Free route cache): +2.19%（PROMOTED TO DEFAULT）
|
|||
|
|
- **Total: ~8.3%** (Phase 2-3, C2=NEUTRAL included)

|
**Commit**: `f059c0ec8`
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
#### Phase 3 D1: Free Path Route Cache ✅ ADOPT - PROMOTED TO DEFAULT (+2.19%)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**設計メモ**: `docs/analysis/PHASE3_D1_FREE_ROUTE_CACHE_1_DESIGN.md`
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**狙い**: Free path の `tiny_route_for_class()` コストを削減（4.39% self + 24.78% children）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**実装完了** ✅:
|
|||
|
|
- `core/box/tiny_free_route_cache_env_box.h` (ENV gate + lazy init)
|
|||
|
|
- `core/front/malloc_tiny_fast.h` (lines 373-385, 780-791) - 2箇所で route cache integration
|
|||
|
|
- `free_tiny_fast_cold()` path: direct `g_tiny_route_class[]` lookup
|
|||
|
|
- `legacy_fallback` path: direct `g_tiny_route_class[]` lookup
|
|||
|
|
- Fallback safety: `g_tiny_route_snapshot_done` check before cache use
|
|||
|
|
- ENV gate: `HAKMEM_FREE_STATIC_ROUTE=0/1` (default OFF; `MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE` では default ON)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**A/B テスト結果** ✅ ADOPT:
|
|||
|
|
- Mixed (10-run, initial):
|
|||
|
|
- Baseline (D1=0): 45,132,610 ops/s (avg), 45,756,040 ops/s (median)
|
|||
|
|
- Optimized (D1=1): 45,610,062 ops/s (avg), 45,402,234 ops/s (median)
|
|||
|
|
- **Average gain: +1.06%**, **Median gain: -0.77%**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- Mixed (20-run, validation / iter=20M, ws=400):
|
|||
|
|
- Baseline（ROUTE=0）: Mean **46.30M** / Median **46.30M** / StdDev **0.10M**
|
|||
|
|
- Optimized（ROUTE=1）: Mean **47.32M** / Median **47.39M** / StdDev **0.11M**
|
|||
|
|
- Gain: Mean **+2.19%** ✓ / Median **+2.37%** ✓
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- **Decision**: ✅ Promoted to `MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE` preset default
|
|||
|
|
- Rollback: `HAKMEM_FREE_STATIC_ROUTE=0`
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Rationale**:
|
|||
|
|
- Eliminates `tiny_route_for_class()` call overhead in free path
|
|||
|
|
- Uses existing `g_tiny_route_class[]` cache from Phase 3 C3 (Static Routing)
|
|||
|
|
- Safe fallback: checks snapshot initialization before cache use
|
|||
|
|
- Minimal code footprint: 2 integration points in malloc_tiny_fast.h
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
#### Phase 3 D2: Wrapper Env Cache ❌ NO-GO (-1.44%)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**設計メモ**: `docs/analysis/PHASE3_D2_WRAPPER_ENV_CACHE_1_DESIGN.md`
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**狙い**: malloc/free wrapper 入口の `wrapper_env_cfg()` 呼び出しオーバーヘッドを削減
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**実装完了** ✅:
|
|||
|
|
- `core/box/wrapper_env_cache_env_box.h` (ENV gate: HAKMEM_WRAP_ENV_CACHE)
|
|||
|
|
- `core/box/wrapper_env_cache_box.h` (TLS cache: wrapper_env_cfg_fast)
|
|||
|
|
- `core/box/hak_wrappers.inc.h` (lines 174, 553) - malloc/free hot paths で wrapper_env_cfg_fast() 使用
|
|||
|
|
- Strategy: Fast pointer cache (TLS caches const wrapper_env_cfg_t*)
|
|||
|
|
- ENV gate: `HAKMEM_WRAP_ENV_CACHE=0/1` (default OFF)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**A/B テスト結果** ❌ NO-GO:
|
|||
|
|
- Mixed (10-run, 20M iters):
|
|||
|
|
- Baseline (D2=0): 46,516,538 ops/s (avg), 46,467,988 ops/s (median)
|
|||
|
|
- Optimized (D2=1): 45,846,933 ops/s (avg), 45,978,185 ops/s (median)
|
|||
|
|
- **Average gain: -1.44%**, **Median gain: -1.05%**
|
|||
|
|
- **Decision: NO-GO** (regression below -1.0% threshold)
|
|||
|
|
- Action: FREEZE as research box (default OFF, regression confirmed)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Analysis**:
|
|||
|
|
- Regression cause: TLS cache adds overhead (branch + TLS access cost)
|
|||
|
|
- wrapper_env_cfg() is already minimal (pointer return after simple check in g_wrapper_env.inited)
|
|||
|
|
- Adding TLS caching layer makes it worse, not better
|
|||
|
|
- Branch prediction penalty for wrap_env_cache_enabled() check outweighs any savings
|
|||
|
|
- Lesson: Not all caching helps - simple global access can be faster than TLS cache
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Current Cumulative Gain** (Phase 2-3):
|
|||
|
|
- B3 (Routing shape): +2.89%
|
|||
|
|
- B4 (Wrapper split): +1.47%
|
|||
|
|
- C3 (Static routing): +2.20%
|
|||
|
|
- D1 (Free route cache): +1.06% (opt-in)
|
|||
|
|
- D2 (Wrapper env cache): -1.44% (NO-GO, frozen)
|
|||
|
|
- **Total: ~7.2%** (excluding D2, D1 is opt-in ENV)

|
**Commit**: `19056282b`
|

|
|
|
|||
|
|
#### Phase 3 C4: MIXED MID_V3 Routing Fix ✅ ADOPT
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**要点**: `MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE` では `HAKMEM_MID_V3_ENABLED=1` が大きく遅くなるため、**プリセットのデフォルトを OFF に変更**。
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**変更**（プリセット）:
|
|||
|
|
- `core/bench_profile.h`: `MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE` の `HAKMEM_MID_V3_ENABLED=0` / `HAKMEM_MID_V3_CLASSES=0x0`
|
|||
|
|
- `docs/analysis/ENV_PROFILE_PRESETS.md`: Mixed 本線では MID v3 OFF と明記
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**A/B（Mixed, ws=400, 20M iters, 10-run）**:
|
|||
|
|
- Baseline（MID_V3=1）: **mean ~43.33M ops/s**
|
|||
|
|
- Optimized（MID_V3=0）: **mean ~48.97M ops/s**
|
|||
|
|
- **Delta: +13%** ✅（GO）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**理由（観測）**:
|
|||
|
|
- C6 を MID_V3 にルーティングすると `tiny_alloc_route_cold()`→MID 側が “第2ホット” になり、Mixed では instruction / cache コストが支配的になりやすい
|
|||
|
|
- Mixed 本線は “全クラス多発” なので、C6 は LEGACY(tiny unified cache) に残した方が速い
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**ルール**:
|
|||
|
|
- Mixed 本線: MID v3 OFF（デフォルト）
|
|||
|
|
- C6-heavy: MID v3 ON（従来通り）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Architectural Insight (Long-term)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Reality check**: hakmem 4-5 layer design (wrapper → gate → policy → route → handler) adds 50-100x instruction overhead vs mimalloc's 1-layer TLS buckets.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Maximum realistic** without redesign: 65-70M ops/s (still ~1.9x gap)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Future pivot**: Consider static-compiled routing + optional learner (not per-call policy)
|
|||

## 前フェーズ: Phase POOL-MID-DN-BATCH 完了 ✅（研究箱として freeze 推奨）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|

|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Status: Phase POOL-MID-DN-BATCH 完了 ✅ (2025-12-12)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Summary**:
|
|||
|
|
- **Goal**: Eliminate `mid_desc_lookup` from pool_free_v1 hot path by deferring inuse_dec
|
|||
|
|
- **Performance**: 当初の計測では改善が見えたが、後続解析で「stats の global atomic」が大きな外乱要因だと判明
|
|||
|
|
- Stats OFF + Hash map の再計測では **概ねニュートラル（-1〜-2%程度）**
|
|||
|
|
- **Strategy**: TLS map batching (~32 pages/drain) + thread exit cleanup
|
|||
|
|
- **Decision**: Default OFF (ENV gate) のまま freeze（opt-in 研究箱）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Key Achievements**:
|
|||
|
|
- Hot path: Zero lookups (O(1) TLS map update only)
|
|||
|
|
- Cold path: Batched lookup + atomic subtract (32x reduction in lookup frequency)
|
|||
|
|
- Thread-safe: pthread_key cleanup ensures pending ops drained on thread exit
|
|||
|
|
- Stats: `HAKMEM_POOL_MID_INUSE_DEFERRED_STATS=1` のときのみ有効（default OFF）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Deliverables**:
|
|||
|
|
- `core/box/pool_mid_inuse_deferred_env_box.h` (ENV gate: HAKMEM_POOL_MID_INUSE_DEFERRED)
|
|||
|
|
- `core/box/pool_mid_inuse_tls_pagemap_box.h` (32-entry TLS map)
|
|||
|
|
- `core/box/pool_mid_inuse_deferred_box.h` (deferred API + drain logic)
|
|||
|
|
- `core/box/pool_mid_inuse_deferred_stats_box.h` (counters + dump)
|
|||
|
|
- `core/box/pool_free_v1_box.h` (integration: fast + slow paths)
|
|||
|
|
- Benchmark: +2.8% median, within target range (+2-4%)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**ENV Control**:
|
|||
|
|
```bash
|
|||
|
|
HAKMEM_POOL_MID_INUSE_DEFERRED=0 # Default (immediate dec)
|
|||
|
|
HAKMEM_POOL_MID_INUSE_DEFERRED=1 # Enable deferred batching
|
|||
|
|
HAKMEM_POOL_MID_INUSE_MAP_KIND=linear|hash # Default: linear
|
|||
|
|
HAKMEM_POOL_MID_INUSE_DEFERRED_STATS=0/1 # Default: 0 (keep OFF for perf)
|
|||
|
|
```
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Health smoke**:
|
|||
|
|
- OFF/ON の最小スモークは `scripts/verify_health_profiles.sh` で実行
|
|||

### Status: Phase MID-V35-HOTPATH-OPT-1 FROZEN ✅
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Summary**:
|
|||
|
|
- **Design**: Step 0-3（Geometry SSOT + Header prefill + Hot counts + C6 fastpath）
|
|||
|
|
- **C6-heavy (257–768B)**: **+7.3%** improvement ✅ (8.75M → 9.39M ops/s, 5-run mean)
|
|||
|
|
- **Mixed (16–1024B)**: **-0.2%** (誤差範囲, ±2%以内) ✓
|
|||
|
|
- **Decision**: デフォルトOFF/FROZEN（全3ノブ）、C6-heavy推奨ON、Mixed現状維持
|
|||
|
|
- **Key Finding**:
|
|||
|
|
- Step 0: L1/L2 geometry mismatch 修正（C6 102→128 slots）
|
|||
|
|
- Step 1-3: refill 境界移動 + 分岐削減 + constant 最適化で +7.3%
|
|||
|
|
- Mixed では MID_V3(C6-only) 固定なため効果微小
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Deliverables**:
|
|||
|
|
- `core/box/smallobject_mid_v35_geom_box.h` (新規)
|
|||
|
|
- `core/box/mid_v35_hotpath_env_box.h` (新規)
|

|
|
- `core/smallobject_mid_v35.c` (Step 1-3 統合)
|
|||
|
|
- `core/smallobject_cold_iface_mid_v3.c` (Step 0 + Step 1)
|

### Status: Phase POLICY-FAST-PATH-V2 FROZEN ✅
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Summary**:
|
|||
|
|
- **Mixed (ws=400)**: **-1.6%** regression ❌ (目標未達: 大WSで追加分岐コスト>skipメリット)
|
|||
|
|
- **C6-heavy (ws=200)**: **+5.4%** improvement ✅ (研究箱で有効)
|
|||
|
|
- **Decision**: デフォルトOFF、FROZEN（C6-heavy/ws<300 研究ベンチのみ推奨）
|
|||
|
|
- **Learning**: 大WSでは追加分岐が勝ち筋を食う（Mixed非推奨、C6-heavy専用）

### Status: Phase 3-GRADUATE FROZEN ✅
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**TLS-UNIFY-3 Complete**:
|
|||
|
|
- C6 intrusive LIFO: Working (intrusive=1 with array fallback)
|
|||
|
|
- Mixed regression identified: policy overhead + TLS contention
|
|||
|
|
- Decision: Research box only (default OFF in mainline)
|
|||
|
|
- Documentation:
|
|||
|
|
- `docs/analysis/PHASE_3_GRADUATE_FINAL_REPORT.md` ✅
|
|||
|
|
- `docs/analysis/ENV_PROFILE_PRESETS.md` (frozen warning added) ✅
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Previous Phase TLS-UNIFY-3 Results**:
|
|||
|
|
- Status（Phase TLS-UNIFY-3）:
|
|||
|
|
- DESIGN ✅（`docs/analysis/ULTRA_C6_INTRUSIVE_FREELIST_DESIGN_V11B.md`）
|
|||
|
|
- IMPL ✅（C6 intrusive LIFO を `TinyUltraTlsCtx` に導入）
|

|
|
- VERIFY ✅（ULTRA ルート上で intrusive 使用をカウンタで実証）
|
|||
|
|
- GRADUATE-1 C6-heavy ✅

|
- ULTRA+array: 57.4M ops/s (+3.79%)
|
|||
|
|
- ULTRA+intrusive: 54.5M ops/s (-1.44%, fallback=0)
|
|||
|
|
- GRADUATE-1 Mixed ❌
|
|||
|
|
- ULTRA+intrusive 約 -14% 回帰（Legacy fallback ≈24%）
|
|||
|
|
- Root cause: 8 クラス競合による TLS キャッシュ奪い合いで ULTRA miss 増加

|
|
### Performance Baselines (Current HEAD - Phase 3-GRADUATE)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Test Environment**:
|
|||
|
|
- Date: 2025-12-12
|
|||
|
|
- Build: Release (LTO enabled)
|
|||
|
|
- Kernel: Linux 6.8.0-87-generic
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Mixed Workload (MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE)**:
|
|||
|
|
- Throughput: **51.5M ops/s** (1M iter, ws=400)
|
|||
|
|
- IPC: **1.64** instructions/cycle

|
|||
|
|
- Branch miss: **3.70%** (2,206,608 / 59,567,242 branches)
|
|||
|
|
- Cycles: 151.7M, Instructions: 249.2M
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|

|
|||
|
|
1. `free`: 29.40% (malloc wrapper + gate)
|
|||
|
|
2. `main`: 26.06% (benchmark driver)
|
|||
|
|
3. `tiny_alloc_gate_fast`: 19.11% (front gate)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**C6-heavy Workload (C6_HEAVY_LEGACY_POOLV1)**:
|
|||
|
|
- Throughput: **52.7M ops/s** (1M iter, ws=200)
|
|||
|
|
- IPC: **1.67** instructions/cycle

|
|||
|
|
3. `main`: 18.41%
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Analysis: Bottleneck Identification
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Key Observations**:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
1. **Mixed vs C6-heavy Performance Delta**: Minimal (~2.3% difference)
|
|||
|
|
- Mixed (51.5M ops/s) vs C6-heavy (52.7M ops/s)
|
|||
|
|
- Both workloads are performing similarly, indicating hot path is well-optimized
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
2. **Free Path Dominance**: `free` accounts for 29-31% of cycles
|
|||
|
|
- Suggests free path still has optimization potential
|
|||
|
|
- C6-heavy shows slightly higher free% (31.44% vs 29.40%)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
3. **Alloc Path Efficiency**: `tiny_alloc_gate_fast` is 19-26% of cycles
|
|||
|
|
- Higher in C6-heavy (25.88%) due to MID v3/v3.5 usage
|
|||
|
|
- Lower in Mixed (19.11%) suggests LEGACY path is efficient
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
4. **Cache & Branch Efficiency**: Both workloads show good metrics
|
|||
|
|
- Cache miss rates: 7-9% (acceptable for mixed-size workloads)
|
|||
|
|
- Branch miss rates: ~3.7% (good prediction)
|
|||
|
|
- No obvious cache/branch bottleneck
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
5. **IPC Analysis**: 1.64-1.67 instructions/cycle
|
|||
|
|
- Good for memory-bound allocator workloads
|
|||
|
|
- Suggests memory bandwidth, not compute, is the limiter
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Next Phase Decision
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Recommendation**: **Phase POLICY-FAST-PATH-V2** (Policy Optimization)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Rationale**:
|
|||
|
|
1. **Free path is the bottleneck** (29-31% of cycles)
|
|||
|
|
- Current policy snapshot mechanism may have overhead
|
|||
|
|
- Multi-class routing adds branch complexity
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
2. **MID/POOL v3 paths are efficient** (only 25.88% in C6-heavy)
|
|||
|
|
- MID v3/v3.5 is well-optimized after v11a-5
|
|||
|
|
- Further segment/retire optimization has limited upside (~5-10% potential)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
3. **High-ROI target**: Policy fast path specialization
|
|||
|
|
- Eliminate policy snapshot in hot paths (C7 ULTRA already has this)
|
|||
|
|
- Optimize class determination with specialized fast paths
|
|||
|
|
- Reduce branch mispredictions in multi-class scenarios
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Alternative Options** (lower priority):
|
|||
|
|
- **Phase MID-POOL-V3-COLD-OPTIMIZE**: Cold path (segment creation, retire logic)
|
|||
|
|
- Lower ROI: Cold path not showing up in top functions
|
|||
|
|
- Estimated gain: 2-5%
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- **Phase LEARNER-V2-TUNING**: Learner threshold optimization
|
|||
|
|
- Very low ROI: Learner not active in current baselines
|
|||
|
|
- Estimated gain: <1%
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Boundary & Rollback Plan
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Phase POLICY-FAST-PATH-V2 Scope**:
|
|||
|
|
1. **Alloc Fast Path Specialization**:
|
|||
|
|
- Create per-class specialized alloc gates (no policy snapshot)
|
|||
|
|
- Use static routing for C0-C7 (determined at compile/init time)
|
|||
|
|
- Keep policy snapshot only for dynamic routing (if enabled)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
2. **Free Fast Path Optimization**:
|
|||
|
|
- Reduce classify overhead in `free_tiny_fast()`
|
|||
|
|
- Optimize pointer classification with LUT expansion
|
|||
|
|
- Consider C6 early-exit (similar to C7 in v11b-1)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
3. **ENV-based Rollback**:
|
|||
|
|
- Add `HAKMEM_POLICY_FAST_PATH_V2=1` ENV gate
|
|||
|
|
- Default: OFF (use existing policy snapshot mechanism)
|
|||
|
|
- A/B testing: Compare v2 fast path vs current baseline
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Rollback Mechanism**:
|
|||
|
|
- ENV gate `HAKMEM_POLICY_FAST_PATH_V2=0` reverts to current behavior
|
|||
|
|
- No ABI changes, pure performance optimization
|
|||
|
|
- Sanity benchmarks must pass before enabling by default
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Success Criteria**:
|
|||
|
|
- Mixed workload: +5-10% improvement (target: 54-57M ops/s)
|
|||
|
|
- C6-heavy workload: +3-5% improvement (target: 54-55M ops/s)
|
|||
|
|
- No SEGV/assert failures
|
|||
|
|
- Cache/branch metrics remain stable or improve

|||

|
|
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）
|
|||
|

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）

## 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
|
|||

## Phase 19-7 — LARSON_FIX TLS Consolidation — ❌ NO-GO
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Date**: 2025-12-15
|
|||
|
|
**Status**: ❌ **NO-GO** (Reverted)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Goal
|
|||
|
|
Eliminate 5 duplicate `getenv("HAKMEM_TINY_LARSON_FIX")` calls by consolidating into single per-thread TLS cache.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Result
|
|||
|
|
- **Baseline**: 54.55M ops/s
|
|||
|
|
- **Optimized**: 53.82M ops/s
|
|||
|
|
- **Delta**: **-1.34%** (regression)
|
|||
|
|
- **Decision**: NO-GO, reverted immediately
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Root Cause
|
|||
|
|
Compiler optimization works better with separate-scope TLS caches. Per-scope optimization outweighs consolidation benefits.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Key Learning
|
|||
|
|
Not all code duplication is inefficient. Per-scope TLS caching can outperform centralized caching when each scope has different access patterns.

## Phase 20 — Warm Pool SlabIdx Hint — ❌ NO-GO
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Date**: 2025-12-15
|
|||
|
|
**Status**: ❌ **NO-GO** (Reverted)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Goal
|
|||
|
|
Eliminate O(cap) slab_idx scan on warm pool hit by storing slab_idx hint alongside SuperSlab*.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Changes
|
|||
|
|
- Created: `core/box/warm_pool_slabidx_hint_env_box.h` (ENV gate)
|
|||
|
|
- Modified: `core/front/tiny_warm_pool.h` (added hint array, new API)
|
|||
|
|
- Modified: `core/front/tiny_unified_cache.c` (use hint on pop, store on push)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Result
|
|||
|
|
- **Baseline (HINT=0)**: 54.998M ops/s (mean), 54.960M ops/s (median)
|
|||
|
|
- **Optimized (HINT=1)**: 54.439M ops/s (mean), 54.920M ops/s (median)
|
|||
|
|
- **Delta**: **-1.02%** (mean), **-0.07%** (median)
|
|||
|
|
- **Decision**: NO-GO, reverted immediately
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Root Cause
|
|||
|
|
Hint validation overhead outweighs O(cap=12) scan savings. For small N, linear scan is faster than hint-based lookup with validation.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Key Learning
|
|||
|
|
Micro-optimizations targeting small loops (O(12)) often add more overhead than they save. Algorithmic improvements don't always translate to performance gains at small N.

## Phase 21 (Proposal) — Tiny Header HotFull (alloc header write hot/cold split)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Date**: 2025-12-15
|
|||
|
|
**Status**: 📝 **DESIGN**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Goal
|
|||
|
|
Reduce per-allocation fixed overhead in `tiny_region_id_write_header()` by splitting:
|
|||
|
|
- hot-full (FULL mode, guard OFF) → minimal straight-line path
|
|||
|
|
- slow path (LIGHT/OFF + guard) → cold helper
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Plan (Box Theory)
|
|||
|
|
- Add ENV gate (default ON / opt-out): `HAKMEM_TINY_HEADER_HOTFULL=0/1`
|
|||
|
|
- Implement as a hot/cold split inside the header box (single boundary: hot → slow helper)
|
|||
|
|
- A/B via `scripts/run_mixed_10_cleanenv.sh`
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### GO/NO-GO
|
|||
|
|
- GO: Mixed 10-run mean +1.0% or more
|
|||
|
|
- NEUTRAL: ±1.0%
|
|||
|
|
- NO-GO: -1.0% or worse

## Phase 21 — Tiny Header HotFull (Alloc Header Write Hot/Cold Split) — ✅ GO
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Date**: 2025-12-15
|
|||
|
|
**Status**: ✅ **GO** (First success after 2 consecutive NO-GOs!)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Goal
|
|||
|
|
Eliminate alloc path fixed tax (header mode branch + guard call) by splitting hot path (FULL mode) and cold path (LIGHT/OFF + guard).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Changes
|
|||
|
|
- Created: `core/box/tiny_header_hotfull_env_box.h` (ENV gate, default ON / opt-out)
|
|||
|
|
- Created: `core/box/tiny_header_hotfull_env_box.c` (atomic flag + refresh)
|
|||
|
|
- Modified: `core/tiny_region_id.h`
|
|||
|
|
- Added cold helper: `tiny_region_id_write_header_slow()` (LIGHT/OFF + guard)
|
|||
|
|
- Added hot path: HOTFULL=1 && FULL → straight-line (1 instruction)
|
|||
|
|
- No `existing_header` read, no `tiny_guard_is_enabled()` call
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Result
|
|||
|
|
- **Baseline (HOTFULL=0)**: 54.727M ops/s (mean), 54.835M ops/s (median)
|
|||
|
|
- **Optimized (HOTFULL=1)**: 55.363M ops/s (mean), 55.535M ops/s (median)
|
|||
|
|
- **Delta**: **+1.16%** (mean), **+1.28%** (median)
|
|||
|
|
- **Decision**: ✅ GO (exceeds +1.0% threshold)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Why It Succeeded
|
|||
|
|
1. **Eliminated mode branch**: FULL path bypasses switch entirely
|
|||
|
|
2. **Eliminated existing_header read**: Write unconditionally
|
|||
|
|
3. **Eliminated guard check**: Moved to cold path only
|
|||
|
|
4. **Better I-cache locality**: Hot path is straight-line code
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Key Learning
|
|||
|
|
Hot/cold split works when hot path is truly minimal (1-2 instructions) and cold path contains all conditional logic. Contrast with:
|
|||
|
|
- Phase 19-7 (TLS consolidation, -1.34%): Compiler prefers separate-scope caches
|
|||
|
|
- Phase 20 (Warm pool hint, -1.02%): Hint validation > O(12) scan cost
|
|||
|
|
- Phase 21 (Header hot/cold, +1.16%): Eliminated branches + memory reads

|||

## Phase 22 — Research Box Prune (compile-out default-OFF boxes) — ✅ GO
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Date**: 2025-12-15
|
|||
|
|
**Status**: ✅ **GO**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Goal
|
|||
|
|
Eliminate per-op overhead from default-OFF research boxes by compiling them out of hot paths.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Changes
|
|||
|
|
- Added compile gates in `core/hakmem_build_flags.h`:
|
|||
|
|
- `HAKMEM_TINY_TCACHE_COMPILED=0/1` (default: 0)
|
|||
|
|
- `HAKMEM_TINY_UNIFIED_LIFO_COMPILED=0/1` (default: 0)
|
|||
|
|
- Wrapped callsites:
|
|||
|
|
- `core/front/tiny_unified_cache.h` (tcache push/pop)
|
|||
|
|
- `core/box/tiny_front_hot_box.h` (unified_lifo mode/path)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Result (Mixed 10-run)
|
|||
|
|
- **Phase 21 baseline**: 55.363M ops/s (mean)
|
|||
|
|
- **Phase 21+22**: 56.525M ops/s (mean)
|
|||
|
|
- **Delta**: **+2.10%** (Phase 22 gain over Phase 21)

## Phase 22-2 — Research Box Link-out (Makefile conditional) — ❌ NO-GO
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Date**: 2025-12-16
|
|||
|
|
**Status**: ❌ **NO-GO** (Reverted)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Goal
|
|||
|
|
Further reduce binary size by excluding research box .o files from default link (conditional on compile flags).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Changes (Reverted)
|
|||
|
|
- Modified `Makefile`: removed `tiny_tcache_env_box.o` and `tiny_unified_lifo_env_box.o` from OBJS_BASE/SHARED_OBJS/TINY_BENCH_OBJS_BASE
|
|||
|
|
- Added conditional sections (only link if COMPILED=1)
|
|||
|
|
- Modified `core/bench_profile.h`: wrapped includes/calls with compile gates
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Result (Mixed 10-run)
|
|||
|
|
- **Phase 21+22 baseline**: 56.525M ops/s (mean), 56.613M ops/s (median)
|
|||
|
|
- **Phase 22-2 (link-out)**: 55.828M ops/s (mean), 55.792M ops/s (median)
|
|||
|
|
- **Delta**: **-1.23%** (mean), **-1.45%** (median) ❌
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Root Cause (Hypothesis)
|
|||
|
|
1. **Binary layout/alignment changes**: Removing .o files affected code placement → I-cache degradation
|
|||
|
|
2. **LTO optimization interaction**: Link-time optimizer made different decisions without .o files present
|
|||
|
|
3. **Hot path misalignment**: Critical functions placed at suboptimal addresses
|
|||
|
|
4. **Paradoxical result**: "Remove unused code" intuitively should help, but empirically hurts
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Key Learning
|
|||
|
|
- ✅ **Compile-out (Phase 22)** works well: +2.10% gain
|
|||
|
|
- ❌ **Link-out (Phase 22-2)** fails: -1.23% regression
|
|||
|
|
- **Rule**: Use `#if` compile gates (good), avoid Makefile .o exclusion (bad)
|
|||
|
|
- **Binary size ≠ Performance**: Smaller binary doesn't guarantee better I-cache locality
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Revert & Verification
|
|||
|
|
- All changes reverted successfully
|
|||
|
|
- Verification: 56.523M ops/s (mean) = -0.00% from baseline ✅

## Phase 23 — Per-op Default-OFF Tax Prune (Write-Once + UnifiedCache Measurement) — ⚪ NEUTRAL
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
**Date**: 2025-12-16
|
|||
|
|
**Status**: ⚪ **NEUTRAL**（compile gate は維持、昇格は保留）
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Goal
|
|||
|
|
default OFF の研究 knob が hot path に残す “固定税” を compile-out できるようにする。
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Changes
|
|||
|
|
- Build flags（`core/hakmem_build_flags.h`）:
|
|||
|
|
- `HAKMEM_TINY_HEADER_WRITE_ONCE_COMPILED=0/1`（default: 0）
|
|||
|
|
- `HAKMEM_TINY_UNIFIED_CACHE_MEASURE_COMPILED=0/1`（default: 0）
|
|||
|
|
- `core/box/tiny_header_box.h`:
|
|||
|
|
- `tiny_header_finalize_alloc()` の write-once check を compile-out
|
|||
|
|
- `core/front/tiny_unified_cache.c`:
|
|||
|
|
- refill-side measurement を compile-out
|
|||
|
|
- header prefill（E5-2）を compile-out
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Result (Mixed 10-run)
|
|||
|
|
- compile-out vs compiled-in の差分は ±0.5% のノイズ域 → NEUTRAL
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Decision
|
|||
|
|
- Phase 23 は NEUTRAL としてクローズ（追加追跡はしない）
|
|||
|
|
- Rule: **link-out はしない**（Phase 22-2 の NO-GO を踏まえ、`.o` を Makefile から外す最適化は封印）
