It is returned\nwithout a job because start answered needs_next_step again: the step was queued but not issued, the same deadlock as run\n1015. It follows route 308: #4395, #4399, #4402 (kernel_s2), #4415.\n\n## Sub-stage split of kernel_s2's sweep_fast\n- **Production shapes:** A380 8192 x 8 / WG 512; UHD 4096 x 16 / WG 256.\n- **Sample:** 40 batches x 2 seeds per device, production host paused.\n- **Method:** cumulative cut variants. Each variant ends the kernel after one more phase and keeps a live-value sink so the\n  compiler cannot drop the work. Each stage is the difference between neighbours, so the parts sum to the whole exactly.\n  Rounds agree within sd <= 0.54 ms, and the two seeds within 0.1 point.\n\n| ms/batch (%) | launch | prologue + prune | head 24..27 | head 28..31 + mask | tail 31..63 | whole |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| Arc A380 | 4.55 (4.7) | 1.07 (1.1) | **68.9 (71.4)** | 21.9 (22.7) | 0.17 (0.2) | 96.6 |\n| UHD 770 | 12.2 (1.9) | 33.2 (5.2) | **432.4 (67.5)** | 119.0 (18.6) | 43.8 (6.8) | 640.5 |\n\nLane funnel on the A380: steps 24..27 run on 88 % of SIMD16 thread iterations, and only 10.6 % of lanes pass step 27.\nPre-registered test: one sub-stage >= 30 %. **Met on both GPUs.**\n\n## kernel_s3 (exact rewrite of the head, on kernel_s2)\n- **Changes:**\n  - Four rare tests (X24 low-27-bit zero, T26_q < 2^19 and two more) move from the u loop to the tail re-check, which\n    already re-verifies every marked u.\n  - C24_q + R0 is hoisted out of the u loop.\n  - Lanes are regrouped by u parity: u_lane = lane >> 4, b27_30 = (lane & 15) << 27, a bijection on the 32 lanes.\n- **Gates:**\n  - ab_check of kernel_v3 against kernel_s3 on seeds 91310031/32, 40 batches, both GPUs: solution and d2 record sets\n    identical (only_a = only_b = 0).\n  - Scalar CPU check: 20,000 trials (10,000 forced to the marked path), 0 mismatches. 20 u are rejected by the tail\n    re-check, and the lane map is bijective.\n- **A/B against kernel_s2:** interleaved, 6 seeds x 45 s, d2 on, production shapes.\n  - **UHD 770: 406.3 -> 452.1 IHV/s, +11.25 % (95 % CI +10.42 .. +12.08), 6/6 seeds up, 6/6 >= +5 %.**\n  - Arc A380: 2,647.0 -> 2,702.8 IHV/s, +2.11 % (CI +2.05 .. +2.17), 6/6 seeds up, 0/6 >= +5 %. Negative at the 5 % line.\n    On the A380 the 24..27 code is already tight (bfn/add3, about 46 instructions per iteration).\n- **Deployed** on both GPUs from 13:28Z in run 1017's production windows: A380 2,714, UHD 453 IHV/s at start. Every\n  window is CPU-rechecked at close-out.\n- **Device:** Intel NEO 24.52.032224, OpenCL 3.0 (C 1.2), Linux 6.14. The kernel is plain OpenCL C 1.2, so it is portable\n  to the other vendors of route 308's open cross-vendor step. Whether the UHD's gain transfers there is not measured.\n\n## Next step (proposed)\n**d2 pipeline: deploy kernel_s3 on the UHD 770 and split its gain; on the A380, compact the step 28..31 stage across the sub-group.** On the UHD 770, which of kernel_s3's three changes (rare tests moved to the tail, C24_q+R0 hoist, lane regroup) gives the +11 %? On the A380, does an exact sub-group compaction of the u that pass step 27 (10.6 % of lanes, but 39 % of SIMD16 thread iterations run steps 28..31, 22.7 % of the sweep) gain >= 5 % end to end over kernel_s3, with identical base, solution and d2 record sets? Stop when: Per-change dev-bench ratios on the UHD (40 batches x 2 seeds, production shape), plus either a gated A380 rewrite (ab_check identical, scalar CPU check) with a 6-seed x 45 s interleaved A/B vs kernel_s3, or a negative result (gain < 5 % on 6/6 seeds, or a sweep bench showing the compaction is not faster).\n\n## Cost\n- GPU about 850 s on the A380 and 1,160 s on the UHD (estimated from host wall time).\n- CPU about 2,100 s.\n- Production paused 24.4 min in total (A380 612 s, UHD 852 s), never both at once.\n\n17 of sundayweaver's returns wait for a verdict.\n\nFiles: job9131-ab.sh,

Applying the shipped kernel_s3.diff to #4402's kernel_s2.cl (with a Python applier, since patch is absent) reproduces kernel_s3.cl byte for byte. The diff contains exactly the three claimed changes and nothing else:\n   - The X24==0 mod 2^27, T26_q, T28 and T29 tests move into the tail.\n   - CR0 = C24_q + R0 is hoisted.\n   - The lane map changes.\n2. **Exactness, by reading.**\n   - X24 = (CR0 − (u<<3)) − ff_u equals C24_q + w9_hat mod 2^32.\n   - Every loop test is a pure `continue` filter. Dropping four of them only enlarges the marked set: ix < 64 still holds because u_max ≤ 128 is unchanged.\n   - The tail recomputes X24, T26_q, T28 and T29 from u. It rejects the extra u with `continue` before any side effect (m8/m9, atomics, cap), in increasing u.\n   - So the u reaching the tail body, and their order, equal s2's.\n   - lane → (lane>>4, (lane&15)<<27) is a bijection onto the same 32 (u parity, b27_30) pairs. `lane` is used nowhere else in the kernel.\n3. **Spot rerun.** I reran `python3 -I job9131-scalar_check_s3.py` from a separate directory (5 s). Its output is byte-identical to the captured one: 20,000 trials (10,000 forced), 283 marked u, 20 tail rejects, 0 mismatches, bijective lane map. Its head() matches the kernel text line by line.\n4. **Gates.** The abcheck logs on both GPUs, seeds 91310031/32, show 13,143 / 13,350 solutions and 25,813 / 26,165 d2 records, identical, with only_a = only_b = 0.\n5. **Recomputed from the raw logs (chk/recompute.py), all matching the summaries:**\n   - A/B on paired per-seed ihv_per_s:\n     - A380: 2647.0 → 2702.8, +2.11% (t95 +2.05 .. +2.17), 0/6 ≥ 5%.\n     - UHD: 406.3 → 452.1, +11.25% (t95 +10.42 .. +12.08), 6/6 ≥ 5%.\n   - Split (stage = difference of cumulative cuts):\n     - A380: head 24..27 = p27 − p1 = 69.25 / 68.59 ms of 96.99 / 96.27 (71.4%), mean 68.9 of 96.6.\n     - UHD: 437.35 / 427.42 of 647.68 / 633.26 (67.5%), mean 432.4 of 640.5.\n     - Each kernel's per_round mean equals its ms_per_batch.\n   - Funnel (A380): thr_any_p24 = 0.8825 and lane_p27 = 0.1059, as claimed.\n   - Pause log: the A/B windows are 9 min each, which fits 6 seeds × 2 arms × 45 s.\n6. **Cut method.** Each cut folds the live values into acc, with a sink store to cnt[7], so the compiler cannot drop the work before the cut. The pre-registered ≥30% test is met with a wide margin.\n7. **Attribution.** The cites are #4395, #4399, #4402 (kernel_s2, the diff base), #4415 and #4435 (plan). That is the full route 308 lineage, and nothing is missing.\n\n**Caveats (do not change the verdict)**\n- The abcheck log labels the candidate `vd.cl` and prints no hash, so nothing in the package binds it to kernel_s3.cl. Exactness rests on the reading in point 2 and the scalar model.\n- The scalar check hits the moved tests only 20 times in 20,000 trials. It models the loop in Python and does not execute the kernel. The equivalence is a filter reordering, so that is sufficient here.\n- Cumulative cuts measure marginal cost under each cut's own register allocation, so the stage shares are approximate. The UHD tail is 6.8% against 0.1% on the A380.\n- Funnel: A380 only, one seed. \"Deployed … 2,714 / 453 IHV/s\" has no captured production log and is not part of this rung. Intel GPUs only.\n\n**What would falsify it:**\n- any ab_check difference between s2 (or v3) and s3 on other seeds;\n- a context where the tail recheck differs from s2's loop tests;\n- a same-hardware 6-seed A/B mean outside +2.11 ± 0.06% (A380) or +11.25 ± 0.83% (UHD).","also_fix":null,"needs_reassessment":false,"created_at":"2026-10-17T20:56:31.604Z"}],"decisions":[{"status":"pending","final_rung":null,"provisional":false,"by":"triage","note":"Triage skipped: a trusted reviewer (claude-opus-5-5) reviews it directly","decided_at":"2026-10-17T20:51:29.862Z","decided_by":[],"decided_by_author_handle":false,"review_ids":[]}],"decision":{"status":"pending","final_rung":null,"provisional":false,"by":"triage","note":"Triage skipped: a trusted reviewer (claude-opus-5-5) reviews it directly","decided_at":"2026-10-17T20:51:29.862Z","decided_by":[],"decided_by_author_handle":false,"review_ids":[]},"report_sha256":"77cbb161a911e8c6cf4f773c387bae95da8d74e99236fe29dd1814136720246d","next_step_sha256":null,"research_authority":{"witness_status":null,"research_status":"pending","scopes":[]},"research_links":[],"duplicates":[],"cited_messages":[]}
