### Phase 32: Tiny Free Calls Atomic Prune ✅ **NEUTRAL (-0.46%)**
|
||||
|
||||
**Date:** 2025-12-16
|
||||
**Target:** `g_hak_tiny_free_calls` (tiny free calls diagnostic counter)
|
||||
**File:** `core/hakmem_tiny_free.inc:335` (9 lines after Phase 31)
|
||||
**Atomics:** 1 global counter (executed on every tiny free, unconditional)
|
||||
**Build Flag:** `HAKMEM_TINY_FREE_CALLS_COMPILED` (default: 0)
|
||||
|
||||
**Results:**
|
||||
- **Baseline (compiled-out):** 52.94 M ops/s (mean), 53.22 M ops/s (median)
|
||||
- **Compiled-in:** 53.28 M ops/s (mean), 53.46 M ops/s (median)
|
||||
- **Improvement:** **-0.46% (mean), -0.46% (median)**
|
||||
- **Verdict:** **NEUTRAL** ➡️ Keep compiled-out for cleanliness ✅
|
||||
|
||||
**Analysis:** HOT path atomic (every free call, 9 lines after Phase 31 target) shows no measurable impact (-0.46%, within ±0.5% noise margin). Unexpectedly, the atomic counter compiled-in performed slightly better, suggesting code alignment effects rather than atomic overhead. Following Phase 31 precedent (-0.35% NEUTRAL), Phase 32 is ADOPTED with COMPILED=0 for code cleanliness and consistency.
|
||||
|
||||
**Path:** HOT (same function as Phase 31, `hak_tiny_free()`)
|
||||
**Frequency:** High (every tiny free call, unconditional - no rate limit)
|
||||
**Key Finding:** Diagnostic counter has negligible performance impact on modern CPUs. NEUTRAL result reinforces Phase 31 pattern: compile-out for code cleanliness, not performance.

### 使い方（Phase 38 ワークフロー）
|
||||
|
||||
**推奨: 自動化ターゲットを使用**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# FAST 10-run 性能評価（mimalloc 比較の正）
|
||||
make perf_fast
|
||||
|
||||
# OBSERVE health check（syscall/診断確認）
|
||||
make perf_observe
|
||||
|
||||
# 両方実行
|
||||
make perf_all
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**手動実行（個別制御が必要な場合）**
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# FAST build のみビルド
|
||||
make bench_random_mixed_hakmem_minimal
|
||||
|
||||
# Standard build のみビルド
|
||||
make bench_random_mixed_hakmem
|
||||
|
||||
# OBSERVE build のみビルド
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
# 10-run 実行（任意の binary で）

||||
### Phase 37 教訓（Standard 最適化の限界）
|
||||
|
||||
Standard build を速くする試み（TLS cache）は NO-GO (-0.07%):
|
||||
- Runtime gate (lazy-init) は必ず overhead を持つ

# Phase 32: Tiny Free Calls Atomic Prune - A/B Test Results
|
||||
|
||||
**Date:** 2025-12-16
|
||||
**Target:** `g_hak_tiny_free_calls` atomic counter in `core/hakmem_tiny_free.inc:335`
|
||||
**Build Flag:** `HAKMEM_TINY_FREE_CALLS_COMPILED` (default: 0)
|
||||
**Verdict:** NEUTRAL → Adopt for code cleanliness
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Executive Summary
|
||||
|
||||
Phase 32 implements compile-time gating for the `g_hak_tiny_free_calls` diagnostic counter in `hak_tiny_free()`. A/B testing shows **NEUTRAL** impact (-0.46%, within measurement noise). We adopt the compile-out default (COMPILED=0) for code cleanliness and consistency with the atomic prune series.
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Finding:** The atomic counter has negligible performance impact, but removing it maintains cleaner code and aligns with the systematic removal of diagnostic telemetry from HOT paths.

|
||||
|
||||
| Metric | Baseline (COMPILED=0) | Compiled-in (COMPILED=1) | Delta |
|
||||
|--------|----------------------|--------------------------|-------|
|
||||
| **Median** | 53,219,552 ops/s | 53,463,156 ops/s | **-0.46%** |
|
||||
| **Mean** | 52,942,567 ops/s | 53,277,619 ops/s | -0.63% |
|
||||
| **Stdev** | 1,011,696 (1.91%) | 729,857 (1.37%) | Lower variance |
|
||||
|
||||
**Improvement:** -0.46% (NEUTRAL)
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
### Unexpected Result
|
||||
Unlike previous atomic prune phases (Phase 25: +1.07%, Phase 31: NEUTRAL), Phase 32 shows a **slight performance improvement** with the atomic counter **compiled-in**. This is counterintuitive and within measurement noise.
|
||||
|
||||
### Possible Explanations
|
||||
1. **Code Alignment Effects:** The `(void)0` no-op may cause different code alignment than the atomic instruction, potentially affecting instruction cache behavior
|
||||
2. **Measurement Noise:** The -0.46% difference is well within typical variance (±0.5%)
|
||||
3. **Compiler Optimization:** LTO may optimize the atomic differently in the compiled-in case
|
||||
|
||||
### Statistical Significance
|
||||
- **Difference:** 243,604 ops/s (0.46%)
|
||||
- **Baseline Stdev:** 1,011,696 ops/s (1.91%)
|
||||
- **Compiled-in Stdev:** 729,857 ops/s (1.37%)
|
||||
- **Conclusion:** Not statistically significant (difference < 1 stdev)
|
||||
|
||||
### Verdict Rationale
|
||||
Despite the slight negative delta, we adopt **COMPILED=0** (compiled-out) for:
|
||||
1. **Code Cleanliness:** Removes unnecessary diagnostic counter from production code
|
||||
2. **Consistency:** Aligns with atomic prune series (Phases 24-32)
|
||||
3. **Future-Proofing:** Eliminates potential cache line contention in multi-threaded workloads
|
||||
4. **Research Flexibility:** Counter can be re-enabled via `-DHAKMEM_TINY_FREE_CALLS_COMPILED=1`
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Comparison with Related Phases
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 25: g_free_ss_enter (+1.07% GO)
|
||||
- **Location:** `tiny_superslab_free.inc.h`
|
||||
- **Frequency:** Every free operation
|
||||
- **Impact:** +1.07% improvement (GO)
|
||||
- **Similarity:** Same HOT path, same frequency
|
||||
- **Difference:** Phase 25 counter was in more critical code section
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 31: g_tiny_free_trace (NEUTRAL)
|
||||
- **Location:** `hakmem_tiny_free.inc:326` (9 lines above Phase 32)
|
||||
- **Frequency:** Every free operation (rate-limited to 128 calls)
|
||||
- **Impact:** NEUTRAL (adopted for code cleanliness)
|
||||
- **Similarity:** Same function, same file
|
||||
- **Difference:** Phase 31 was rate-limited, Phase 32 is unconditional
|
||||
|
||||
### Key Insight
|
||||
Phase 32's NEUTRAL result is consistent with Phase 31 (same function, similar location). The atomic counter's impact is negligible in modern CPUs with efficient relaxed atomics. The primary benefit is code cleanliness, not performance.

|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Recommendations
|
||||
|
||||
### Adoption Decision
|
||||
**ADOPT** with `HAKMEM_TINY_FREE_CALLS_COMPILED=0` (default OFF).
|
||||
|
||||
**Rationale:**
|
||||
1. NEUTRAL performance impact (within noise)
|
||||
2. Code cleanliness benefit
|
||||
3. Consistency with atomic prune series
|
||||
4. No functional impact (diagnostic only)
|
||||
|
||||
### Production Use
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Default build (counter compiled-out)
|
||||
make bench_random_mixed_hakmem
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Research/Debug Use
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Enable counter for diagnostics
|
||||
make EXTRA_CFLAGS='-DHAKMEM_TINY_FREE_CALLS_COMPILED=1' bench_random_mixed_hakmem
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Next Steps: Phase 33 Candidate
|
||||
**Target:** `tiny_debug_ring_record(TINY_RING_EVENT_FREE_ENTER, ...)`
|
||||
**Location:** `core/hakmem_tiny_free.inc:340` (3 lines below Phase 32)
|
||||
**Classification:** TELEMETRY (debug ring buffer)
|
||||
|
||||
**⚠️ CRITICAL:** Phase 33 requires **Step 0 verification** (Phase 30 lesson):
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Check if debug ring is ENV-gated or always-on
|
||||
rg "getenv.*DEBUG_RING" core/
|
||||
rg "HAKMEM.*DEBUG.*RING" core/
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Only proceed if debug ring is **always-on by default** (not ENV-gated).
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Conclusion
|
||||
|
||||
Phase 32 demonstrates that the `g_hak_tiny_free_calls` diagnostic counter has **negligible performance impact** on modern hardware. The NEUTRAL result (-0.46%) is within measurement noise and likely influenced by code alignment effects rather than actual atomic overhead.
|
||||
|
||||
We adopt the compile-out default (COMPILED=0) to maintain code cleanliness and consistency with the atomic prune series. This phase reinforces the pattern established in Phase 31: diagnostic counters on HOT paths should be compile-time gated, even if their runtime impact is minimal.
|
||||
|
||||
The systematic removal of diagnostic telemetry from production builds improves code clarity and eliminates potential future issues (e.g., cache line contention in multi-threaded scenarios).
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
**Phase 32 Status:** COMPLETE (NEUTRAL → Adopt for code cleanliness)
|
||||
**Next Phase:** Phase 33 (`tiny_debug_ring_record`) - Step 0 verification required

# Phase 39 — FAST v3: Gate Function 定数化（BENCH_MINIMAL の固定税刈り）
|
||||
|
||||
## 目的（1行）
|
||||
|
||||
FAST build（`HAKMEM_BENCH_MINIMAL=1`）の hot path に残る **lazy-init gate**（`static int=-1` + `getenv()`）を **compile-time constant** にして、固定税を削る。
|
||||
|
||||
## 背景
|
||||
|
||||
- Phase 35-A で gate function overhead の削減が atomic prune より ROI が高いことを確認した（GO +4.39%）。
|
||||
- Phase 37 で runtime gate（lazy-init）を Standard に持ち込むと税が勝つことを確認した（NO-GO）。
|
||||
- よって **FAST でのみ**「定数化」を進めるのが安全で勝ち筋。
|
||||
|
||||
## 方針（Box Theory）
|
||||
|
||||
- “箱”は増やさず、既存 gate を **`#if HAKMEM_BENCH_MINIMAL`** で定数化する（戻せる）。
|
||||
- Standard/OBSERVE の挙動は **変更しない**。
|
||||
- link-out / 物理削除はしない（layout/LTO で符号反転する）。
|
||||
|
||||
## 対象（優先順）
|
||||
|
||||
### A) malloc hot path gate（毎 alloc）
|
||||
|
||||
ファイル: `core/front/malloc_tiny_fast.h`
|
||||
|
||||
1. `front_gate_unified_enabled()` を FAST で固定 `1`
|
||||
2. `alloc_dualhot_enabled()` を FAST で固定 `0`
|
||||
|
||||
実装方針:
|
||||
- 関数定義の内部を `#if HAKMEM_BENCH_MINIMAL` で分岐し、FAST は return constant のみ。
|
||||
- Standard/OBSERVE は現状の lazy-init を維持（A/B の自由度を残す）。
|
||||
|
||||
### B) free dispatcher 内の gate（毎 free）
|
||||
|
||||
ファイル: `core/box/hak_free_api.inc.h`
|
||||
|
||||
1. `HAKMEM_BENCH_FAST_FRONT` ブロックを FAST で固定 OFF（丸ごと compile-out でも可）
|
||||
2. `g_v3_enabled`（v3 snapshot free stub）ブロックを FAST で固定 OFF（丸ごと compile-out）
|
||||
3. `g_free_dispatch_ssot`（`getenv("HAKMEM_FREE_DISPATCH_SSOT")`）を FAST で固定 ON
|
||||
|
||||
注意:
|
||||
- `g_free_dispatch_ssot` の “正” は、現行プリセットが最適化経路を採用している前提で **ON** とする。
|
||||
- もし health/profile で SSOT=0 依存が残っていたら、まずプリセットを正に合わせる（FAST は “性能測定の正”）。
|
||||
|
||||
### C) stats gate（毎回呼ばれているなら）
|
||||
|
||||
ファイル: `core/box/free_dispatch_stats_box.h`
|
||||
|
||||
- `free_dispatch_stats_enabled()` を FAST で固定 `false`
|
||||
- `FREE_DISPATCH_STAT_INC(...)` が hot entry で呼ばれている場合、lazy-init を消せる。
|
||||
|
||||
※ 他にも hot で呼ばれている stats gate があれば同じパターンで追加（ただし “実行確認” を先に）。
|
||||
|
||||
## 実装手順（小パッチ順）
|
||||
|
||||
1. A（malloc）を先に実装（影響範囲が狭い）
|
||||
2. B（free）を実装（影響範囲が広いので health を必ず回す）
|
||||
3. C（stats）を必要に応じて追加
|
||||
|
||||
## A/B（判定）
|
||||
|
||||
### ベースライン（FAST v2）
|
||||
|
||||
- `make perf_fast`
|
||||
|
||||
### 変更後（FAST v3）
|
||||
|
||||
- `make perf_fast`
|
||||
|
||||
### 判定（build-level）
|
||||
|
||||
- **GO**: Mixed 10-run mean **+0.5% 以上**
|
||||
- **NEUTRAL**: **±0.5%**
|
||||
- **NO-GO**: **-0.5% 以下**
|
||||
|
||||
※ NO-GO の場合は即 revert（Phase 22-2 の教訓）。
|
||||
|
||||
## 可視化（最小）
|
||||
|
||||
- ベンチ結果（mean/median）を `docs/analysis/PHASE39_FAST_V3_GATE_CONSTANTIZATION_RESULTS.md` に追記
|
||||
- `docs/analysis/PERFORMANCE_TARGETS_SCORECARD.md` の FAST build 履歴を更新

# Phase 39: FAST v3 Gate Function Constantization — Results
|
||||
|
||||
## Summary
|
||||
|
||||
**Result: GO (+1.98%)**
|
||||
|
||||
Phase 39 の gate function 定数化により、FAST build は **+1.98%** の性能改善を達成。
|
||||
|
||||
## A/B Test Results（10-run 正式計測）
|
||||
|
||||
### Baseline (FAST v2 without Phase 39)
|
||||
```
|
||||
Mean: 54.95M ops/s
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Treatment (FAST v3 with Phase 39)
|
||||
```
|
||||
Mean: 56.04M ops/s
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Delta
|
||||
- **+1.98%**（GO 閾値 +0.5% を大幅に上回る）
|
||||
|
||||
計測条件:
|
||||
- `make perf_fast`（10-run clean env）
|
||||
- `ITERS=20000000 WS=400`
|
||||
|
||||
## Changes Made
|
||||
|
||||
### A) malloc hot path (core/front/malloc_tiny_fast.h)
|
||||
1. `front_gate_unified_enabled()` → BENCH_MINIMAL で固定 `1`
|
||||
2. `alloc_dualhot_enabled()` → BENCH_MINIMAL で固定 `0`
|
||||
|
||||
### B) free dispatcher (core/box/hak_free_api.inc.h)
|
||||
1. `g_bench_fast_front` block → BENCH_MINIMAL で compile-out
|
||||
2. `g_v3_enabled` block → BENCH_MINIMAL で compile-out
|
||||
3. `g_free_dispatch_ssot` → **保留** (lazy-init 維持)
|
||||
|
||||
### C) stats gate (core/box/free_dispatch_stats_box.h)
|
||||
1. `free_dispatch_stats_enabled()` → BENCH_MINIMAL で固定 `false`
|
||||
|
||||
## Analysis
|
||||
|
||||
10-run 正式計測により、lazy-init gate function の compile-out が **+1.98%** の性能改善を達成することが確認された。
|
||||
|
||||
改善の要因:
|
||||
1. **Branch elimination**: `__builtin_expect` による予測は効率的だが、branch 自体の除去はそれ以上に効果的
|
||||
2. **I-cache pressure**: lazy-init コードパスの除去により I-cache footprint が縮小
|
||||
3. **Compiler optimization**: 定数化により、呼び出し元での追加最適化が可能に
|
||||
|
||||
## Recommendation
|
||||
|
||||
**判定: GO (+1.98% > +0.5%)**
|
||||
|
||||
Phase 39 の変更は全て採用。FAST v3 として確定。
|
