-**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) - -**Profile Analysis**: -- Baseline: 46.37M ops/s (MIXED_TINYV3_C7_SAFE, 40M iterations, ws=400) -- Samples: 922 samples @ 999Hz, 3.1B cycles -- Analysis doc: `docs/analysis/PHASE4_PERF_PROFILE_ANALYSIS.md` - -**Key Findings Leading to E1**: -1.

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

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 - -**Commit**: `d0f939c2e` - ---- - -### Phase FREE-TINY-FAST-DUALHOT-1: CONFIRMED & READY FOR ADOPTION - -**Final A/B Verification (2025-12-13)**: --

**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
