From 40941d65da0eea76c41fdfc281c03cf4f388f551 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2026 13:50:30 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?lgj-abi:=20memoised=20per-facet=20mask=20?= =?UTF-8?q?=E2=80=94=20the=20hop=20as=20AND.=20MEASURED,=20NOT=20RECOMMEND?= =?UTF-8?q?ED=20AS-IS?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The operator's framing was right and sharper than mine: "a masking sweep is an AND", "and over the masks". The hop decomposes four ways and only the last resists mask algebra -- classid(row, facet) == needle -> a mask payload_hi32 == 0 -> a mask intersect src -> THE AND dst[decode(row, facet)] = 1 -> a data-dependent scatter, not a set op -- and the gather that #40 shipped had traded the algebra away: the classid predicate stopped being a mask and became an inline byte compare. The contract held (no java/, no abi.md, no minor bump, GraphHopTest's allowlist + G2 + G3 all green at the identical 384-byte floor) but the STRUCTURE did not. WHAT THIS COMMIT ADDS. `RowStore::facet_bits(classid) -> Arc<[u32]>`: one 32-bit MASK per row of which facets carry that class, built once through the sanctioned `simd_rowstore_facet_match` kernel and shared by refcount after. `lgj_hop` becomes `facet_bits[row] & effective` -- an AND -- plus the irreducible scatter. No invalidation needed: `RowStore` exposes no `&mut self` method, so the buffer is immutable for the store's life. Bounded at 4 classids (n_rows*4 bytes each). MEASURED, AND THE ANSWER IS CONDITIONAL. Component G, 65_536 rows: density gather memo_cold memo_warm 0.01% 2.7 6901.7 2.8 1.00% 46.8 6984.0 10.1 25.00% 3673.3 7647.6 271.5 100.00% 6070.2 9828.7 1952.3 us/op WARM, the AND wins everywhere -- up to 13.5x. The mask is the right shape once it is paid for, exactly as the operator reasoned. COLD, it is flat at ~6900 us at EVERY density, because the O(n) build dominates. At a 0.01% frontier that is 2500x WORSE than the gather. Break-even from these numbers: ~190 hops at a 1% frontier, ~2 hops at 25%+. SO THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR MERGE AS-IS. Unconditional memoisation ships a 2500x regression on one-shot sparse hops, and this repo's rule is that a gate needs evidence at the point it is turned on rather than a plausible story. The branch exists so the work and its numbers are not stranded, and so the choice is made on data: 1. this, unconditional -- best for deep/dense traversal, worst case 2500x. 2. keep #40's gather (what main has) -- no regression anywhere, leaves 13.5x on the table for repeated dense hops. 3. LAZILY-FILLED mask -- fill each row's u32 during the gather that first touches it, with a per-row filled bit. Cold ~= gather, warm = the AND, no O(n) build ever, no tuning knob. Bounded downside; upside depends on rows being re-hopped, which is NOT measured. Recommended, pending that measurement. A SEPARATE FINDING, from isolating one variable at a time. The first run of this change was on JDK 27 and looked like a further win; re-running the SAME binary on JDK 26 gave 0.984 / 10.856 / 7.367 / 250.0 vs 27's 1.002 / 10.713 / 7.694 / 262.5 -- within ~5%, JDK 26 marginally faster. The JDK contributes NOTHING here, which confirms by measurement what the source already said: `grep` finds zero `value record`/`value class` in java/src/main/java, so JDK 27 gives a different JIT and no Valhalla flattening. Every Component G number in this repo, past and present, includes ordinary heap allocation for the per-hop Mask and WideFieldMask wrappers. Panama is real and measured; Valhalla has never run outside valhalla-lab. Also fixes a doc comment this change displaced: inserting `facet_bits` above `bytes_arc` orphaned the latter's doc onto the former. Caught by clippy's missing-docs gate, not by reading. Gates: lgj-abi 134/134; AllTests 304, GraphHopTest 66 (G3 unchanged), TradesParity 12, TradesAllocation 3, BricksAuth 62 = 447 Java checks; clippy -D warnings + fmt clean. No ABI change, no minor bump.
