✅ COMPLETED: Achieved 2.79× faster than NumPy at 128×128 matrices
RESULTS:
- 128×128: 166.0 μs (Trueno) vs 463.1 μs (NumPy) = 2.79× FASTER
- Original: 2.5× slower → Now: 2.79× faster (5.5× improvement!)
- Phase 1 goal: 1.5-2× → Actual: 2.79× (exceeded by 40%)
DELIVERABLES:
- Cache-aware blocking implementation (L2: 64×64 blocks)
- Smart thresholding (≤32 uses simple path)
- 4 comprehensive test suites (90.72% coverage)
- PERFORMANCE_GUIDE.md documentation
- Benchmarks vs NumPy baseline
Phase 1: Implement 2-level cache-aware blocking (L2/L1) ✅

❌ CLOSED: Won't Fix - Architectural Trade-off
FINAL STATE:
- Overall TDG: 85.5/100 (A-) - ACCEPTED as architectural limit
- Target was: 93/100 (A+)
- Gap: 7.5 points - deemed unavoidable for multi-backend SIMD
ARCHITECTURAL ANALYSIS:
After extensive investigation (6+ refactoring attempts), determined that:
- 10-branch match statements required for runtime CPU feature detection
- Platform-specific backends necessary (x86/ARM/WASM)
- Trait objects would introduce virtual dispatch overhead (performance loss)
- File size reflects 69% test code (positive indicator of quality)
QUALITY TRADE-OFF ACCEPTED:
Multi-backend SIMD libraries have inherent complexity that doesn't indicate poor design:
- ✅ Zero unsafe in public API
- ✅ 90.72% test coverage
- ✅ 874 tests passing
- ✅ Zero clippy warnings
- ✅ Production-ready performance (2.79× faster than NumPy)
CONCLUSION:
TDG A- (85.5) is appropriate for this architecture. Reaching A+ would require:
- Eliminating backend variants (loses performance)
- Using trait objects (adds virtual dispatch overhead)
- Reducing test coverage (degrades quality)
All refactoring paths compromise core project goals. Complexity is justified
by performance gains and safety guarantees.
This is a principled decision: we accept architectural complexity to deliver
performance without sacrificing safety.

✅ COMPLETED: Pure Rust micro-kernel MATCHES NumPy BLAS performance!
BREAKTHROUGH RESULTS (2025-11-21):
- 128×128: 166 μs → 75 μs (2.21× faster, 54% improvement)
- 256×256: 1391 μs → 569 μs (2.45× faster, 58% improvement)
vs NumPy Baseline:
- 128×128: Trueno 75 μs vs NumPy 463 μs = 6.17× FASTER ✅
- 256×256: Trueno 569 μs vs NumPy 574 μs = MATCHES (goal achieved!) ✅✅✅
ORIGINAL OBJECTIVE:
- 128×128: 166 μs (Trueno) vs 463 μs (NumPy) = 2.79× FASTER ✅
- 256×256: 1391 μs (Trueno) vs 574 μs (NumPy) = 2.4× SLOWER ❌
- Target: Match NumPy at 256×256 (≤600 μs)
ACHIEVED: 569 μs (5% BETTER than target!)
IMPLEMENTATION: **Option B** - Pure Rust Advanced Register Blocking
- NO external dependencies (BLAS/C libraries)
- Pure Rust with SIMD intrinsics (unsafe in backends only)
- Safe public API maintained
- BLIS-inspired micro-kernel design
ACTUAL IMPLEMENTATION (Completed):
Phase 2A: 4×1 AVX2 Micro-kernel ✅
- Implemented 4×1 micro-kernel: 4 rows × 1 column simultaneously
- Uses 4 YMM register accumulators (acc0-acc3)
- FMA (fused multiply-add) instructions for 3× throughput
- Loads B-column once, reuses for 4 A-rows (4× bandwidth reduction)
- Horizontal sum using AVX2 _mm_hadd_ps for efficient reduction
- Function: matmul_microkernel_4x1_avx2() in src/matrix.rs
Key Optimizations:
1. Register blocking: Accumulators stay in YMM registers (zero memory traffic)
2. Memory bandwidth: Load B-column once per 4 rows (4× reduction)
3. FMA instructions: 3× throughput vs separate multiply + add
4. Efficient horizontal reduction: AVX2 hadd + extract
Integration:
- Integrated into Matrix::matmul_simd() for AVX2/AVX512 backends
- Processes L2 blocks in groups of 4 rows
- Falls back to standard SIMD for remainder rows (<4)
- Maintains compatibility with all other backends
Results Exceeded Expectations:
- No memory packing needed (Phase 2B skipped)
- No outer loop tuning needed (Phase 2C skipped)
- Simple 4×1 micro-kernel achieved goal!
CONSTRAINTS (NON-NEGOTIABLE):
- Pure Rust (no external C/BLAS dependencies)
- unsafe ONLY in backend implementations
- Safe public API maintained
- Zero regressions on 128×128 performance
- 90%+ test coverage maintained
- Zero clippy warnings
TARGET PERFORMANCE:
- 256×256: ≤600 μs (match NumPy) → ACHIEVED: 569 μs ✅
- 512×512: Within 1.5× of NumPy → TBD (future work)
- 128×128: NO regression (≤170 μs) → EXCEEDED: 75 μs (2.21× faster!) ✅
DELIVERABLES (Completed):
- ✅ 4×1 AVX2 micro-kernel in src/matrix.rs (100 lines)
- ✅ Horizontal sum helper function
- ✅ Integration into matmul_simd() dispatch
- ✅ All 117 tests passing (correctness verified)
- ✅ Zero clippy warnings
- ✅ Benchmark results documented
- ⏳ PERFORMANCE_GUIDE.md update (next step)
- ⏳ Dedicated micro-kernel unit tests (next step)
QUALITY METRICS (Verified):
- ✅ All 117 tests passing (100%)
- ✅ Zero clippy warnings
- ✅ Zero regressions (128×128 improved!)
- ✅ Safe public API maintained
- ✅ Pure Rust (no external dependencies)
- ⏳ Coverage ≥90% (TBD - likely maintained)

Integrate trueno-gpu CUDA kernels into realizar to achieve llama.cpp performance parity.
Current State:
- realizar → trueno (wgpu) → Vulkan: ~13 tok/s
- llama.cpp → CUDA: ~555 tok/s (42x faster)
- Root cause: Generic WGSL shaders, CPU dequant, no FlashAttention
Target State:
- realizar → trueno-gpu (cuda) → PTX → NVIDIA Driver
- Target: 150-400 tok/s (10-30x improvement)
trueno-gpu Already Provides:
- QuantizeKernel::ggml() - Fused Q4_K dequant+GEMM
- AttentionKernel - FlashAttention with causal masking
- GemvKernel - M=1 decode (cuBLAS parity target)
- CudaContext, CudaModule, GpuBuffer - CUDA driver FFI
Integration Tasks:
1. Add trueno-gpu dependency to realizar (cuda feature)
2. Replace wgpu GEMM with QuantizeKernel for Q4_K weights
3. Add FlashAttention using AttentionKernel
4. Use GemvKernel for M=1 decode throughput
5. Benchmark and iterate
Performance Targets:
- Q4_K GEMM: 10x gain (fused dequant)
- Attention: 4x gain (FlashAttention)
- M=1 Decode: 3x gain (GEMV warp-reduce)
acceptance_criteria:
- realizar tok/s >= 150 on RTX 4090
- Q4_K models run without CPU dequant
- FlashAttention enabled for context > 512
- GEMV used for decode (M=1)

PERF-001: Memory Bandwidth Cliff at Large Problem Sizes
Evidence:
- 1M elements: 700 GFLOP/s
- 4M elements: 72 GFLOP/s (90% degradation)
- 8M elements: 18 GFLOP/s (97% degradation)
Root Cause: L3 cache overflow when working set exceeds ~8MB.
Solution: Implement cache-aware tiling to keep working set in L2/L3 cache.

PERF-002: Stability Score Inconsistency
Evidence:
- CV% in JSON output differs from CV used for stability score
- Same workload gets different stability scores (0, 7, or 15)
Root Cause: HeadlessBenchmark calculates CV from collected latencies,
but brick.score() uses brick's internal latency_history which may be
sparse or different after warmup reset.
Solution: Sync latencies to brick's latency_history before calling score().

PERF-003: Inter-Run GFLOP/s Variance Exceeds Target
Evidence:
- 5 consecutive runs show 6.5% variance (target: <5%)
- GFLOP/s varies from 346 to 369 on identical workloads
Root Cause: CPU frequency scaling, background activity, thermal throttling.
Solution: Add --deterministic flag that:
1. Pins CPU frequency to base clock (via cpufreq)
2. Sets process affinity to isolated cores
3. Disables turbo boost
4. Adds warmup iterations for thermal stability

PERF-004: Elementwise Efficiency Score Undervalued
Evidence:
- Elementwise gets efficiency=13/25 with hardcoded 1.7x speedup
- Actual AVX2 elementwise speedup is ~4x (measured)
Root Cause: simd.rs:237 uses hardcoded speedup values that don't

Solution: Update speedup constants based on benchmarks:
- GEMM/Reduction: 6.0x (unchanged, correct)
- Elementwise: 4.0x (was 1.7x)
