HAKMEM Docs Index (2025-10-29)

Purpose
- One‑page map for current work: how to build, run, compare, and tune.
- Focus on Tiny fast‑path tuning vs system/mimalloc, with safe LD guidance.

Quick Build
- Direct link (recommended for perf tuning)
  - `make bench_fast`
  - Run: `HAKMEM_WRAP_TINY=1 ./bench_comprehensive_hakmem`
- PGO (direct link)
  - `./build_pgo.sh` (profile+build)
  - Run: `HAKMEM_WRAP_TINY=1 ./bench_comprehensive_hakmem`
- Shared (LD_PRELOAD) PGO
  - `make pgo-profile-shared && make pgo-build-shared`
  - Run: `HAKMEM_WRAP_TINY=1 LD_PRELOAD=./libhakmem.so ./bench_comprehensive_system`

Direct‑Link Comparisons (CSV)
- Pair (HAKMEM vs mimalloc): `bash scripts/run_comprehensive_pair.sh`
  - CSV: `bench_results/comp_pair_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS/summary.csv`
- Tiny hot triad (HAKMEM/System/mimalloc): `bash scripts/run_tiny_hot_triad.sh 80000`
  - CSV: `bench_results/tiny_hot_triad_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS/results.csv`
- Random mixed triad: `bash scripts/run_random_mixed_matrix.sh 120000`
  - CSV: `bench_results/random_mixed_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS/results.csv`

Perf‑Main preset (safe, mainline‑oriented)
- Build + run triad: `bash scripts/run_perf_main_triad.sh 60000`
  - Applies recommended tiny env (TLS_SLL=1, REFILL_MAX=96, HOT=192, HYST=16) without bench‑only macros.

Tiny param sweeps
- Basic: `bash scripts/sweep_tiny_params.sh 100000`
- Advanced（SLL倍率/リフィル/クラス別MAGなど）: `bash scripts/sweep_tiny_advanced.sh 80000 --mag64-512`

LD_PRELOAD Apps (opt‑in)
- Script: `bash scripts/run_apps_with_hakmem.sh`
- Default safety: `HAKMEM_LD_SAFE=2` (pass‑through) set in script, then per‑case `LD_PRELOAD` on.
- Recommendation: use direct‑link for perf; LD runs are for stability sampling only.

Tiny Modes and Knobs
- Normal (default): TLS magazine + TLS SLL (≤256B)
  - `HAKMEM_TINY_TLS_SLL=1` (default)
  - `HAKMEM_TINY_MAG_CAP=128` (good tiny bench preset; 64B may prefer 512)
- TinyQuickSlot（最小フロント; 実験）
  - `HAKMEM_TINY_QUICK=1`
  - items[6] を1ラインに保持。miss時は SLL/Mag から少量補充して即返却。
- Ultra (SLL‑only, experimental):
  - `HAKMEM_TINY_ULTRA=1` (opt‑in)
  - `HAKMEM_TINY_ULTRA_VALIDATE=0/1` (perf vs safety)
  - Per‑class overrides: `HAKMEM_TINY_ULTRA_BATCH_C{0..7}`, `HAKMEM_TINY_ULTRA_SLL_CAP_C{0..7}`
- FLINT (Fast Lightweight INTelligence): Frontend + deferred Intelligence（実験）
  - `HAKMEM_TINY_FRONTEND=1` (enable array FastCache; miss falls back)
  - `HAKMEM_TINY_FASTCACHE=1` (low‑level switch; keep OFF unless A/B)
  - `HAKMEM_INT_ENGINE=1` (event ring + BG thread adjusts fill targets)
  - イベント拡張（内部）: timestamp/tier/flags/site_id/thread をリングに蓄積（ホットパス外）。今後の適応に活用

Best‑Known Presets (direct link)
- Tiny hot focus
  - `export HAKMEM_WRAP_TINY=1`
  - `export HAKMEM_TINY_TLS_SLL=1`
  - `export HAKMEM_TINY_MAG_CAP=128` (64B: try 512)
  - `export HAKMEM_TINY_REMOTE_DRAIN_TRYRATE=0`
  - `export HAKMEM_TINY_REMOTE_DRAIN_THRESHOLD=1000000`
- Memory efficiency A/B
  - `export HAKMEM_TINY_FLUSH_ON_EXIT=1`
  - Run bench/app; compare steady‑state RSS with/without.
  
Refill Batch (A/B)
- `HAKMEM_TINY_REFILL_MAX_HOT`（既定192）/ `HAKMEM_TINY_REFILL_MAX`（既定64）
- 小サイズ帯（8/16/32B）でピーク探索。現環境は既定付近が最良帯

Current Results (high level)
- Tiny hot triad (Perf‑Main, 60–80k cycles, safe):
  - 16–64B: System ≈ 300–335 M; HAKMEM ≈ 250–300 M; mimalloc 535–620 M.
  - 128B:   HAKMEM ≈ 250–270 M; System 170–176 M; mimalloc 575–586 M.
- Comprehensive (direct link): mimalloc ≈ 0.9–1.0B; HAKMEM ≈ 0.25–0.27B.
- Random mixed: three close; mimalloc slightly ahead; HAKMEM ≈ System ± a few %.

Bench‑only highlight（参考値, 専用ビルド）
- SLL‑only + warmup + PGO（≤64B）で 8–24B が 400M超、32B/b100 最大 429.18M（System 312.55M）。
  - 実行: `bash scripts/run_tiny_sllonly_triad.sh 30000`（安全な通常ビルドには含めません）

Open Focus
- Close the 16–64B gap (cap/batch tuning; SLL/mini‑mag overhead shave).
- Ultra (opt‑in) stabilization; A/B vs normal.
- Frontend refill heuristics; BG engine stop/join wiring (added).

Notes
- LD mode: keep `HAKMEM_LD_SAFE=2` default for apps; prefer direct‑link for tuning.
- Ultra/Frontend are experimental; keep OFF by default and use scripts for A/B.
