## Implementation
Added `HAKMEM_TINY_FRONT_SLIM=1` ENV gate to skip FastCache + SFC layers,
going straight to SLL (Single-Linked List) for direct backend access.
### Code Changes
**File**: `core/tiny_alloc_fast.inc.h` (lines 201-230)
Added early return gate in `tiny_alloc_fast_pop()`:
```c
// Phase 19-1: Quick Prune (Frontend SLIM mode)
static __thread int g_front_slim_checked = 0;
static __thread int g_front_slim_enabled = 0;
if (g_front_slim_enabled) {
// Skip FastCache + SFC, go straight to SLL
extern int g_tls_sll_enable;
if (g_tls_sll_enable) {
void* base = NULL;
if (tls_sll_pop(class_idx, &base)) {
g_front_sll_hit[class_idx]++;
return base; // SLL hit (SLIM fast path)
}
}
return NULL; // SLL miss → caller refills
}
// else: Existing FC → SFC → SLL cascade (unchanged)
```
### Design Rationale
**Goal**: Skip unused frontend layers to reduce branch misprediction overhead
**Strategy**: Based on ChatGPT-sensei analysis showing FC/SFC hit rates near 0%
**Expected**: 22M → 27-30M ops/s (+22-36%)
**Features**:
- ✅ A/B testable via ENV (instant rollback: ENV=0)
- ✅ Existing code unchanged (backward compatible)
- ✅ TLS-cached enable check (amortized overhead)
---
## Performance Results
### Benchmark: Random Mixed 256B (1M iterations)
```
Baseline (SLIM OFF): 23.2M, 23.7M, 23.2M ops/s (avg: 23.4M)
Phase 19-1 (SLIM ON): 22.8M, 22.8M, 23.7M ops/s (avg: 23.1M)
Difference: -1.3% (within noise, no improvement) ⚠️
Expected: +22-36% ← NOT achieved
```
### Stability Testing
- ✅ 100K short run: No SEGV, no crashes
- ✅ 1M iterations: Stable performance across 3 runs
- ✅ Functional correctness: All allocations successful
---
## Analysis: Why Quick Prune Failed
### Hypothesis 1: FC/SFC Overhead Already Minimal
- FC/SFC checks are branch-predicted (miss path well-optimized)
- Skipping these layers provides negligible cycle savings
- Premise of "0% hit rate" may not reflect actual benefit of having layers
### Hypothesis 2: ENV Check Overhead Cancels Gains
- TLS variable initialization (`g_front_slim_checked`)
- `getenv()` call overhead on first allocation
- Cost of SLIM gate check == cost of skipping FC/SFC
### Hypothesis 3: Incorrect Premise
- Task-sensei's "FC/SFC hit rate 0%" assumption may be wrong
- Layers may provide cache locality benefits even with low hit rate
- Removing layers disrupts cache line prefetching
---
## Conclusion & Next Steps
**Phase 19-1 Status**: ❌ Experimental - No performance improvement
**Key Learnings**:
1. Frontend layer pruning alone is insufficient
2. Branch prediction in existing code is already effective
3. Structural change (not just pruning) needed for significant gains
**Recommendation**: Proceed to Phase 19-2 (Front-V2 tcache single-layer)
- Phase 19-1 approach (pruning) = failed
- Phase 19-2 approach (structural redesign) = recommended
- Expected: 31ns → 15ns via tcache-style single TLS magazine
---
## ENV Usage
```bash
# Enable SLIM mode (experimental, no gain observed)
export HAKMEM_TINY_FRONT_SLIM=1
./bench_random_mixed_hakmem 1000000 256 42
# Disable SLIM mode (default, recommended)
unset HAKMEM_TINY_FRONT_SLIM
./bench_random_mixed_hakmem 1000000 256 42
```
---
## Files Modified
- `core/tiny_alloc_fast.inc.h` - Added Phase 19-1 Quick Prune gate
## Investigation Report
Task-sensei analysis documented entry point (`tiny_alloc_fast_pop()` line 176),
identified skip targets (FC: lines 208-220, SFC: lines 222-250), and confirmed
SLL as primary fast path (88-99% hit rate from prior analysis).

// - Fast path hit rate: 95%+ (workload dependent)
|
||
// - Fast path latency: 3-4 instructions (1-2 cycles on modern CPUs)
|
||
// - Miss penalty: ~20-50 instructions (refill from SuperSlab)
|
||
// - Throughput improvement: +10-25% vs current multi-layer design
|
||
//
|
||
// Key optimizations:
|
||
// 1. `__builtin_expect` for branch prediction (hot path first)
|
||
// 2. `static inline` for zero-cost abstraction
|
||
// 3. TLS variables (no atomic ops, no locks)
|
||
// 4. Minimal work in fast path (defer stats/accounting to backend)
|
||
//
|
||
// Comparison with current design:
|
||
// - Current: 20+ instructions (Magazine → SuperSlab → ACE → ...)
|
||
// - New: 3-4 instructions (TLS freelist pop only)
|
||
// - Reduction: -80% instructions in hot path
|
||
//
|
||
// Inspired by:
|
||
// - System tcache (glibc malloc) - 3-4 instruction fast path
|
||
// - HAKX Mid-Large (+171%) - "Simple Front + Smart Back"
|
||
// - Box Theory - Clear boundaries, minimal coupling
