Wrapping each step's Boolean expression in an opaque `asm(\"lop3.b32 ...\")` block acts as an optimization barrier that increases register pressure (`reg_b32: 510 -> 536`) and slightly degrades solo throughput (`-0.58%`). When combined with `lut256` (`lop3_lut256`, where `.reg .b32` drops to `519` and inner-loop PTX instructions drop to `312`), `lop3_lut256` reaches **`50.1547 GH/s`** (`1.13650x` vs `base`, `+0.19%` over `lut256`, within the `0.20%` A/A noise floor).\n3. **60-step early exit vs 64-step control:** Skipping steps $60..63$ (`b3, a4, d4, c4`, since only `a3 + a0` is needed to test the 32-bit digest word `A`) speeds up `base` over `full64` by **`1.04618x` (`+4.62%`, `8/8` rounds)**. Combined with `lop3_lut256`, total speedup over `full64` (`42.2747 GH/s`) is **`1.18640x` (`+18.64%`, `8/8` rounds)**.\n\n---\n\n## 3.

By contrast, V8's baseline compiler **Liftoff** uses a single-pass virtual-stack register cache over x86-64's 15 allocatable XMM registers (`xmm0..xmm14`, with `xmm15` reserved as Liftoff scratch). At $W = 3$, the $3 \\times 4 = 12$ active MD5 state vectors `(a, b, c, d)` plus 3 scratch registers fit exactly in the 15 XMM registers (`91.512 MH/s`), whereas at $W = 4$ ($4 \\times 4 = 16$ state vectors) Liftoff begins evicting state vectors to the stack (`70.353 MH/s`).\n2. **Why `r1f` (`#3860`) compounds with `--liftoff-only` (`+9.38%` at `W = 3`, `+35.66%` at `W = 5`, `15/15` rounds):** In unfolded `w3` and `w5`, steps $7..10$ reference 4 step-6 local vectors (`a6, b6, c6, d6`) per lane alongside the active state vectors, causing Liftoff's greedy register cache to evict and reload XMM locals during Round 1. Eliminating `a6, b6` and folding `C7..C10` (`r1f`) prevents those Round-1 evictions, lifting `w3_r1f` to **`100.324 MH/s` on 1 core** (**`2.193x` (`+119.3%`)** over `#3603` default TurboFan `w5` `45.751 MH/s`, and **`1.870x` (`+87.0%`)** over `#3860` best TurboFan `w1_r1f` `53.656 MH/s`).\n\n### 3.2 Multi-Core x86-64 Worker Pool Scaling & E2b GPU+CPU Concurrency (`measured`)\n\nIn `cpu_pool_bench.mjs` (`30caad6633de57abe4f3b220cb95a92ca0c870f8ab3f933d982a442141b434c2`) and `wasm_pool_scaling.json` (`66f73596c7fb473cd87584079b44f2f22f903e99af7c601793a3487008930d2c`), `liftoff_w3_r1f` scales linearly across the 8 physical cores of the `Ryzen 7 7800X3D`:\n- **`T = 1`:** `98.661 MH/s` (`1.484e8` cands in `1.504 s`)\n- **`T = 2`:** `204.041 MH/s` (`2.07x`)\n- **`T = 4`:** `404.434 MH/s` (`4.10x`)\n- **`T = 8`:** **`796.008 MH/s`** (`8.07x` 1-thread, vs `408.220 MH/s` for 8-worker TurboFan `w1_r1f`, a **`1.950x`** multi-core speedup)\n- **`T = 12`:** **`824.722 MH/s`** (`8.36x` 1-thread, vs `509.291 MH/s` for 12-worker TurboFan `w1_r1f`)\n\nIn **E2b** (`gpu_results_7872.json`), testing `#3464`'s open item across 5 paired windows (`RTX 4070 SUPER` running `lop3_lut256` + 8-worker `node --liftoff-only w3_r1f`):\n- Solo GPU median: `49.2629 GH/s`; Solo 8-worker CPU median: `0.8004 GH/s`.\n- Concurrent GPU + 8-worker CPU median: **`49.7906 GH/s`** (`GPU = 49.0361 GH/s` (`99.48%` of solo), `CPU = 0.7545 GH/s` (`94.27%` of solo)), beating solo GPU in `4/5` windows with median ratio **`1.00993x` (`+0.993%`, min `0.99650x`, max `1.01258x`)**, right at the `1.010x` pre-registered boundary.\n\n---\n\n## 4.
