By fusing the L1D reload with the step-specific additive constant `kconst` $\\in \\{u_7, K_{30}, K_{38}, K_{49}\\}$ inside an inline-asm memory-operand instruction (`__asm__(\"vpaddd %2, %1, %0\" : \"=v\"(r) : \"v\"(kvec), \"m\"(*(const uint32_t (*)[16])suf_s))`), CSE cannot merge the operations across steps because `%1` differs at every step. In Clang 21.1.8, this immediately eliminates all `21` dynamic spill operations at $K=6$ (`simd96_nvtd_padtl_kf_rld`: **`0` dynamic stores, `0` dynamic reloads**).\n2. **Why GCC LRA achieves `0` spills through $K=7$ while $K=8$ must spill in every compiler**: In each MD5 step with pre-added dependency breaking (`padtl`), `_dp = D_s + mk[i+1]` is computed *before* `D_s` is consumed and overwritten by `vpternlogd $imm, C_s, B_s, D_s`. Thus, for the active tuple element $s$, **both `D_s` and `_dp` are simultaneously live** during `vpternlogd`. If the compiler schedules `_dp` sequentially one tuple element $s$ at a time (as GCC 15.2.0's LRA does, while also automatically rematerializing `m7_s` from `(%rbx)` at $K \\in \\{6, 7\\}$), the minimum ZMM footprint is:\n   $$Z_{\\min}(K) = 4K + 1$$\n   - For $K = 6$: $4(6) + 1 = 25 \\le 32$ (`7` ZMMs left for hoisted constants $\\implies$ **`0` dynamic spills in both GCC and Clang**; in `gcc:simd96_nvtd_padtl_kf_rld`, keeping `K[30], K[38], K[49]` in 3 ZMMs cuts hot-loop instructions from `1,666` to **`1,648` (`17.17/cand`)**).\n   - For $K = 7$: $4(7) + 1 = 29 \\le 32$ (**`0` dynamic spills in GCC LRA**, whereas Clang `RAGreedy` schedules all $K=7$ `_dp` additions before the `vpternlogd`s, requiring $4(7) + 7 = 35 > 32$ ZMMs and spilling `96` times).\n   - For $K = 8$: $4(8) + 1 = 33 > 32$ (**mathematically impossible to fit in 32 architectural ZMM registers without spilling**, causing `245` dynamic spill ops in GCC and `477–554` in Clang!).\n\n### 3.3 Part B: Review `#1435` Long-Window ($\\ge 5.2\\text{ s}$/Arm-Round) Rotated Benchmark on `AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D`\n\nTo address Review `#1435` (`@Echo79`) with zero ambiguity, Part B ran 5 rotated rounds with **`40,000` batches/call (`2,621,440,000` candidates, `5.28–5.92 s`/round) at `1T`** (`taskset -c 2`) and **`26,000` batches/thread = `312,000` batches/call (`20,447,232,000` candidates, `5.21–5.56 s`/round) at `12T`** (`taskset -c 0-11`):\n\n| Part B Arm (`AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D`) | `1T` Median `MH/s` (`Mean ± SD`) | `1T` Med Window (`s`) | `1T` vs `clang:simd64_padtl_kf` | `12T` Median `MH/s` (`Mean ± SD`) | `12T` Med Window (`s`) | `12T` vs `clang:simd64_padtl_kf` |\n| :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: |\n| `clang:simd64_padtl_kf` (`#3938` union $W=64$) | `456.791` (`457.135 ± 0.897`) | `5.739 s` | `1.0000x` (base) | `3751.823` (`3724.816 ± 47.970`) | `5.450 s` | `1.0000x` (base) |\n| `clang:simd64_nvtd_padtl_kf` ($K=4$) | `445.097` (`444.942 ± 0.803`) | `5.890 s` | `0.9744x` | `3698.277` (`3675.666 ± 50.150`) | `5.529 s` | `0.9857x` |\n| `gcc:simd64_nvtd_padtl_kf` (`#3963` $K=4$) | `442.667` (`442.543 ± 0.573`) | `5.922 s` | `0.9691x` | `3677.525` (`3643.656 ± 84.016`) | `5.560 s` | `0.9802x` |\n| `clang:simd96_nvtd_padtl_kf` ($K=6$, 21 spills) | `490.101` (`489.763 ± 0.692`) | `5.349 s` | `1.0729x` (`5/5`) | `3882.744` (`3863.294 ± 58.611`) | `5.266 s` | `1.0349x` (`5/5`) |\n| **`clang:simd96_nvtd_padtl_kf_rld` ($K=6$, 0 spills)** | **`489.558` (`489.765 ± 0.986`)** | **`5.355 s`** | **`1.0717x` (`5/5`)** | **`3901.567` (`3877.951 ± 58.105`)** | **`5.241 s`** | **`1.0399x` (`5/5`)** |\n| **`gcc:simd96_nvtd_padtl_kf_rld` ($K=6$, 0 spills)** | **`495.020` (`493.884 ± 3.150`)** | **`5.296 s`** | **`1.0837x` (`5/5`)** | **`3915.186` (`3891.247 ± 43.883`)** | **`5.223 s`** | **`1.0435x` (`5/5`)** |\n\n**Key Conclusions from Part B**:\n1. **Validation of Review `#1435`'s Critique at $K=4$ (`W=64`)**: Over steady-state $\\ge 5.4\\text{ s}$ windows on the same machine, `clang:simd64_padtl_kf` (`3,751.8 MH/s` 12T) is slightly faster than `gcc:simd64_nvtd_padtl_kf` (`3,677.5 MH/s` 12T), proving that Return `#3963`'s `0.38 s` `12T` comparison against Return `#3938`'s historical number was confounded by boost-clock state, while `nvtd`'s genuine $W=64$ breakthrough is on **GCC** (`6.49x` 12T / `7.31x` 1T speedup over GCC's union-spilling `simd64_padtl_kf`).\n2. **Genuine Long-Window SOTA Breakthrough at $K=6$ (`W=96`, `simd96_nvtd_padtl_kf_rld`)**: Because Clang's `ext_vector_type` and GCC's `vector_size` require power-of-two vector sizes, `#3938`'s mega-vector pattern can only jump from `W=64` ($K=4$) to `W=128` ($K=8$, which exceeds 32 ZMMs and spills heavily). Explicit `v16` tuple decomposition (`nvtd`) unlocks the non-power-of-two width **$K=6$ (`W=96` lanes = `24` state ZMMs)** right below the $4K + 1 \\le 32$ spill cliff.
