# Current Task: Phase 5 - Mid/Large Allocation Optimization
|
|
|
|
**Date**: 2025-11-29
|
|
**Goal**: Mid/Large allocation gap elimination + Config Box application
|
|
**Strategy**: Fix allocation gap (1KB-8KB) + Compile-time config + Mid MT optimization
|
|
**Expected Gain**: +10-26% (57.2M → 63-72M ops/s)
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Phase 5 Overview: 5-Step Approach
|
|
|
|
### Step 1: Mid MT Verification (Pending)
|
|
- **Duration**: 2 days
|
|
- **Risk**: Low
|
|
- **Goal**: Verify Mid MT allocator handles 1KB-8KB range efficiently
|
|
|
|
**Deliverables**:
|
|
1. Benchmark Mid MT performance for 1KB-8KB sizes
|
|
2. Identify any gaps or inefficiencies
|
|
3. Document current Mid MT behavior
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
### Step 2: Allocation Gap Elimination (Pending)
|
|
- **Duration**: 3 days
|
|
- **Risk**: Medium
|
|
- **Target**: +5-15% improvement
|
|
- **Goal**: Route 1KB-8KB allocations through Mid MT instead of mmap fallback
|
|
|
|
**Critical Issue**:
|
|
- **File**: `core/box/hak_alloc_api.inc.h:171-216`
|
|
- **Problem**: When ACE disabled, 1KB-8KB falls through to mmap()
|
|
- **Impact**: 1000-5000x slower than O(1) allocation
|
|
|
|
**Deliverables**:
|
|
1. Fix routing logic in `hak_alloc_api.inc.h`
|
|
2. Route all >1KB allocations through Mid MT
|
|
3. Benchmark improvement
|
|
4. Completion report
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### Step 3: Mid/Large Config Box (Pending)
|
|
- **Duration**: 3 days
|
|
- **Risk**: Low
|
|
- **Target**: +2-4% improvement
|
|
- **Goal**: Apply Phase 4 Config Box pattern to Mid/Large feature gates
|
|
|
|
**Runtime ENV Checks to Eliminate**:
|
|
- `HAKMEM_SMALLMID_ENABLE` (SmallMid allocator gate)
|
|
- `HAKMEM_POOL_TLS` (Pool allocator gate)
|
|
- `HAKMEM_BIGCACHE` (BigCache gate)
|
|
- `HAKMEM_ACE` (ACE allocator gate)
|
|
- 4+ other feature checks in hot path
|
|
|
|
**Deliverables**:
|
|
1. `core/box/mid_large_config_box.h` - Reuse Phase 4 pattern
|
|
2. Replace 5-8 runtime checks with compile-time macros
|
|
3. Build flag: `HAKMEM_MID_LARGE_PGO=1`
|
|
4. Benchmark improvement
|
|
5. Completion report
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### Step 4: Mid Registry Pre-allocation (Pending)
|
|
- **Duration**: 2 days
|
|
- **Risk**: Low
|
|
- **Target**: Eliminate lock contention in MT workloads
|
|
- **Goal**: Pre-allocate Mid MT registry at init instead of lazy allocation
|
|
|
|
**Deliverables**:
|
|
1. Modify `hakmem_mid_mt.c` init to pre-allocate registry
|
|
2. Remove registry lock from hot path
|
|
3. Benchmark MT workload improvement
|
|
4. Completion report
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### Step 5: Documentation & Final Benchmark (Pending)
|
|
- **Duration**: 2 days
|
|
- **Risk**: Low
|
|
- **Goal**: Document Phase 5 results, prepare for Phase 6
|
|
|
|
**Deliverables**:
|
|
1. Phase 5 completion report
|
|
2. Full benchmark suite comparison
|
|
3. Update CURRENT_TASK.md for Phase 6
|
|
4. Git commit & documentation
|

## Notes from ChatGPT Analysis
|
|
|
|
**Real bottleneck**:
|
|
- NOT front_gate_v2 alone
|
|
- BUT `tiny_alloc_fast()` overall complexity (15-20 branches)
|
|
|
|
**Branch explosion sources**:
|
|
1. ultra_slim_mode_enabled() gate
|
|
2. hak_tiny_size_to_class range check
|
|
3. tiny_sizeclass_hist_hit (profile)
|
|
4. HeapV2 enabled/disabled
|
|
5. FastCache enabled/disabled
|
|
6. SFC enabled/disabled + hit/miss
|
|
7. TLS SLL enabled/disabled + per-class branches
|
|
8. Multiple env gates in refill path
|
|
|
|
**Pool/Tiny boundary**: Negligible overhead (0.1-0.2% in bench)
|
|
|
|
**memset/page fault**: Already optimized (TRUST_MMAP_ZERO=1)
