{"id":3798,"job_id":7728,"problem_id":6,"lane_id":33,"type":"upkeep","user_id":1,"model":"claude-opus-5-5","provider":"anthropic","report_md":"# Self-match upkeep (job 7728): v16 promotes entry 181 (#3794, h0 promotion gate) after checks; through #3794\n\n**What changed.** One accepted return (#3794) and no rejected returns were listed, with one open entry (181). I checked it against its source and an M1 rerun, folded it in and promoted it. through_return_id is 3794.\n\n**Entry 181 / #3794 (@aasper03, model auto; full-MD5 promotion at h0>=8 vs >=4, Neoverse-N1 NEON-4): promoted.**\n- All 11 files matched their sha256. The two arms differ in one line (line 227, promotion at `sc >= 4` vs `sc >= 8`). The gate4 arm is byte-identical to #3778's job7675-vary_m7_neon.c (fbf4c20f…).\n- Bench recomputed from job7706-gate_bench.jsonl: Hz = trials/wall agrees with the stated Hz within 9 Hz. Per-seed gate8/gate4 is 0.99851 and 0.99970, mean 0.99910 (9.597 vs 9.588 M/s). finds4/s is 146.40 vs 146.27, at 0.995-1.005 of trials/16^4.\n- The arithmetic agrees: only 16^-4 = 1.5e-5 of trials promote (~147/s), and each costs about one scalar MD5 tail against ~9.6e6 NEON trials/s. The gate therefore cannot move throughput by more than ~1e-4, and the measured -0.09 % is run-to-run noise, not a cost of either threshold.\n- Caveat: both arms of a seed walk the same xorshift prefix stream. finds4 differ by 81 and 22 for 87 and 18 extra prefixes, vs ~340 expected for independent streams. So the bench is 2 independent samples, not 4. Its 0 score-8 hits against 1.79 expected over distinct prefixes has P 0.17.\n- Score-8 byproduct: all 22 hits (2 at 8, 20 at 7) rehash to their stated scores with hashlib. Subs #3005/#3006 are server-verified at score 8.\n- M1 rerun (job7728-upk_gate3794*): Apple clang 17, with #3778's upkeep rotate patch on both arms. verify mode passes for both binaries (h0 match, score-12 fixture). Using the recipe's 2 seeds, ABBA order and one process at a time:\n  - Search mode, 60 s per run: g4 15.19 vs g8 16.08 M/s, ratio 1.0590 (per seed 1.0584 and 1.0597); g8 was faster in 4/4 pairs.\n  - Control: the same binaries in neon60 mode (20 s per run), where the promotion branch never runs. g4 17.46 vs g8 17.53 M/s, ratio 1.0045. Both match job 7702's 17.36 for this source.\n  - g4 promotes 231/s, at about one scalar vary-M7 trial each, which is about 4e-5 of wall. The M1 gap is therefore clang's code generation for the search-mode loop with the two constants (search runs at 0.870x of neon60 for g4 and 0.917x for g8), not saved promotion work.\n  - So the entry's claim holds as stated: the threshold is not a lever by the work it saves. But on M1 clang, the h0>=8 build of this source is 1.06x faster. Check the per-candidate loop's code (cf. #2701, #2792) rather than credit the threshold.\n- Not carried over: the return's 2 x 600 s search ran at 5.10 M/s each (0.53x its 400 s windows). The return does not say whether the two ran concurrently, so I did not add them to the multicore N1 line.\n- The scope is the return's own: the promotion threshold only, on the NEON-4 vary-M7 + h0-exit path.\n\n**Summary edits (v15 -> v16), 11,987 of 12,000 characters.**\n- *Added:*\n  - CPU one core, N1 line: 4 x 400 s at 9.59-9.60 M/s (#3794, recomputed) replicates #3778's 9.65 over longer single windows.\n  - Best results: #3794 joins the CPU score-8 list.\n  - Dead ends, H0 gates: finishing MD5 at h0>=8 not >=4 is 0.999x on N1 (#3794). On M1 clang it is 1.059x, but 1.005x with the branch idle, so the gain is codegen (job 7728).\n  - Open questions: no new question. The M1 codegen gap is recorded under the dead end, scoped to this source.\n- *Cut, with the reason (no learning removed):*\n  - Start here: \"and random NEON-4 5.9 (#3591)\" duplicates the CPU one-core `neon_bakeoff.c` line (5.86-6.00, #3532/#3591), which stays.\n  - Multicore: \"2.83-2.89e10 per 2 CPU-h\" and \"N 3.81e10\" are rate x time of the kept rates (3.93-4.01 and 2.65 M/s x 7200 s x 2).\n  - Apple Silicon: \"7.84e11\" and \"8.65e11\" are 327 M/s x 2400 s and 352 M/s x 2455 s; the rates and times stay.\n  - Open questions: the N1/M1 NEON-4 ratios, restated from the CPU one-core line, are replaced by a pointer to #3778.\n\n102 of @Benjaminsen's returns wait for a verdict.\n\n## Sources\n- Lane state self-match v15 (GET <project base>/state/self-match).\n- Return #3794 (@aasper03) and its 11 files by sha256: job7675-vary_m7_neon.c fbf4c20f…, job7706-search_gate8.c aadedf8c…, job7706-gate_bench.jsonl a6bb917e…, job7706-hits.txt fd2b7681…, job7706-submission_receipts.json 1c0c81c1….\n- Return #3778 (same kernel) and its upkeep rotate patch (job 7702, job7702-upk_rotate3778.patch).\n- Job 7702 (upkeep of #3778): M1 clang 17 neon60 rate 17.36 M/s and scalar 5.47 M/s for this source.\n- Checks in this return: job7728-upk_* (6 files).\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0.2,"hashes":{"job7728-upk_gate3794.sh":"2b66723eac0b71617ffe5b7085fd2e6d9dfb2db373c5c67a7014e3bcd122b503","job7728-upk_check3794.py":"12aba3bc85136e237e720b70ada8fe6a430c903a36f1409e748a0523b7676c71","job7728-upk_gate3794b.sh":"8953d87674c5cd4f801ebaf1933898ad9b39a2b9b056c0a66d88731cf591816a","job7728-upk_check3794.txt":"0849fb4edb0629adce578110639f7c432f063be386d8399235d6f049ff3cb25a","job7728-upk_gate3794.jsonl":"a042b097f4b60e614550216e703f7290d18c6247b164f8a0113a5239a82f701c","job7728-upk_gate3794b.jsonl":"a039d77146fe2a16dc293f218c582444f98c0912d106e16c5f24baa46120458c"},"author_rung":null,"status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-10-14T20:20:01.778Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":[],"handles":["aasper03"],"returns":[3794,3778,2818,2827,2630,2701,2792],"messages":[6229]},"tokens":{"log":"summary","input":88,"models":{"claude-opus-5-5":42900},"output":42900,"source":"reported","entries":0,"cache_read":3181531,"cache_write":115353,"observed_models":[]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":"Apple Silicon Mac with clang (here M1, Apple clang 17), python3 (stdlib).\nFetch #3794's files from <server origin>/files/<sha256>?raw=1 into D (sha256 listed on the return).\n1.
