//! Verification and benchmarking for the Krylov solvers on the hybrid backend.
//!
//! # What this module verifies
//!
//! Bead `op-yvj.4.4` item 3-5 moved BiCGStab, GMRES and the preconditioners onto
//! [`ComputeBackend`], and `op-yvj.4.7` states the acceptance rule for that in
//! one line: **compare residual histories and iteration counts, not just the
//! final answer.** A preconditioner that was silently swapped, or a re-associated
//! inner product, changes the *path* an iterative solver takes long before it
//! changes the destination — and near a tolerance boundary a changed path is a
//! changed iteration count.
//!
//! So the gates here are, in increasing strength:
//!
//! 1. **Correctness against the linear system's own solution**, not against
//!    another preconditioner's iterate. Every method/preconditioner/backend
//!    combination is checked against a dense LU factorisation of the same matrix.
//!    This is the gate a preconditioner change cannot fake: `M` alters the route,
//!    never the fixed point.
//! 2. **Bitwise backend parity**: `Serial` and `CpuMulti` must produce identical
//!    iterates, identical residual histories and identical iteration counts, bit
//!    for bit. Every kernel the solvers use carries that guarantee individually
//!    (see [`crate::ldu_matrix::parallel`]'s "Determinism"), so the composed
//!    solve inherits it — and this is where that inheritance is actually checked
//!    rather than assumed.
//! 3. **Blocked-versus-flat reduction**, the one real numerical change this work
//!    introduced. The solvers now reduce through
//!    [`crate::ldu_matrix::parallel::dot`] (blocked, thread-count-independent)
//!    rather than [`crate::krylov::vecops::dot`] (flat). The two are *identical*
//!    for `n <= REDUCTION_BLOCK`, and differ in the last bits above it; the
//!    measured effect on iteration counts and residual histories is recorded
//!    below rather than presumed negligible.
//!
//! # Measured results — the headline
//!
//! Every number in this file was printed by the test beside it and transcribed.
//! Machine: 4 logical cores, release build. The load average at the time of each
//! measurement is printed by the test itself and quoted with the figure, because
//! this host runs a `bn` daemon that never lets it reach true idle and an earlier
//! contended run of the neighbouring `spmv_crossover_benchmark` was enough to
//! erase a 3-4x speed-up entirely.
//!
//! Measured 2026-08-13, release, `--features parallel`:
//!
//! | Claim | Result |
//! |---|---|
//! | End-to-end solve speed-up, Jacobi, 512 000 cells | **2.4-2.7x** (2.65x, 2.66x, 2.40x, 2.47x over four runs) |
//! | End-to-end solve speed-up, ILU(0), 512 000 cells | **~1.5x** (1.50x, 1.51x, 1.51x, 1.51x — the most stable figure here) |
//! | ILU(0) triangular solves, share of the **serial** solve | **29-46%** — caps the speed-up at 1.7-2.1x on 4 cores |
//! | Backend parity (`Serial` vs `CpuMulti`) | **bitwise**, including every residual-history entry and every iteration count |
//! | Thread-count parity (1/2/3/8 workers) | **bitwise** |
//! | Correctness vs dense LU, worst of 12 combinations | 6.832e-10 relative |
//! | Iteration-count change from the blocked reduction | **none**, at all five sizes tested |
//! | Iteration-count flips over a 216-pair tolerance/dominance/seed sweep | **zero**, for BiCGStab *and* GMRES |
//! | Solve speed-up at 4 096 cells (= `SPMV_MIN_CELLS`) | **0.60-0.81x — a loss**, in all five runs |
//!
//! **A correction recorded rather than quietly overwritten.** An earlier revision
//! of this file reported the ILU(0) serial fraction as "51.6%, an Amdahl ceiling
//! near 1.9x". That divided the sequential applies by the **parallel** solve time;
//! Amdahl's `s` is defined against the **serial** runtime. Re-measured correctly,
//! `s` is 29-46% and the 4-core cap is 1.7-2.1x — so the measured ~1.5x is
//! *below* its structural ceiling rather than nearly at it. See
//! `ilu0_serial_fraction_benchmark` for the full derivation.
//!
//! The last row is the most useful finding for the next piece of work: the
//! isolated product kernel breaks even at 4 096 cells, but a whole *solve* does
//! not, because the vector operations and the preconditioner apply beside it are
//! still serial at that size. **The kernel's crossover is not the solver's
//! crossover.** That belongs to bead `op-yvj.4.7`.
//!
//! See the individual test doc comments for methodology, pass criteria, repeat
//! runs and limitations.

/// bitwise makes that impossible to miss.
///
/// **Why bitwise equality is achievable at all**, when a parallel reduction
/// normally is not: every kernel in [`crate::ldu_matrix::parallel`] is

/// output element from exactly one thread in the serial scatter's own order, and
/// the reductions sum in fixed blocks combined in ascending block order. The

/// **Pass criterion.** Exact equality of iteration count, residual history
/// (length and every element) and solution vector, for all six combinations.

/// Above one block the iterates differ in the last few bits and the *converged*

/// converged residual is a heavily cancelled quantity — the small difference of
/// large numbers — so it magnifies rounding, exactly as the
/// raw-versus-conditioned distinction documented on that function describes.
///
/// **Limitation.** This is five system sizes of one matrix family at one

// ── ILU(0): how much of a solve is the part that cannot be threaded ───────────

/// **Methodology.** ILU(0) is sequential by construction — both its factorisation
/// and its triangular solves have a loop-carried dependence (see
/// [`crate::krylov::Ilu0Preconditioner::apply_on`]). This is not fixed here, and
/// the honest thing to report instead is *how much it costs*, because that is the
/// Amdahl serial fraction that bounds any speed-up of an ILU(0)-preconditioned
/// solve.
///
/// The test times, on the same system and best-of-3 for each figure: (a) the
/// one-off [`Preconditioner::ilu0`] factorisation, (b) a whole BiCGStab solve on
/// **both** backends, and (c) the isolated cost of the `2 * n_iterations`
/// preconditioner applications the solve performs, replayed outside the solver.
/// Because [`Ilu0Preconditioner::apply_on`](crate::krylov::Ilu0Preconditioner::apply_on)
/// ignores the backend and always runs serially, (c) is backend-independent — and
/// that is precisely what makes it the serial fraction.
///
/// **Amdahl's serial fraction is measured against the SERIAL solve.** This is the
/// correction that matters, and an earlier revision of this file got it wrong:
/// it divided the applies by the *parallel* solve time and quoted the result
/// (51.6% at 262 144 cells) as the Amdahl `s`. It is not. In `speed-up =
/// 1 / (s + (1 - s)/N)`, `s` is the unthreadable share of the **original,
/// single-threaded** runtime; dividing by the already-shortened parallel runtime
/// inflates it, because the denominator has had its *parallel* half cut while the
/// numerator is unchanged. The table below therefore reports `s` against the
/// serial column and derives two caps from it: `cap(4)` on this machine's 4
/// logical cores, and `cap(inf)` = `1/s`, the infinite-core limit.
///
/// **Pass criterion.** None on the timings themselves — this is a measurement,
/// and asserting a wall-clock figure on a shared machine would be a flake
/// generator. The test only asserts the solve converged, so the fractions refer
/// to a real solve. `#[ignore]`d for the same reason; run it explicitly.
///
/// **Results, measured 2026-08-13**, release, `--features parallel`,

/// `1.64 1.54 0.89` (run 3). The load is high because these were taken between

/// serial solve, i.e. roughly a quarter of one solve (23.8% in the fourth run),
/// paid once per coefficient update rather than once per iteration.
///
/// The `measured` column here is systematically **lower** than the 1.49-1.51x
/// that `end_to_end_solve_speedup_benchmark` reports at the same sizes. That is a
/// methodology difference, not a contradiction: this benchmark takes best-of-3

/// 0.6-2.2. Where the two disagree, prefer the end-to-end figures for the
/// headline speed-up and these for `s`.
///
/// **Interpretation — this is the number that bounds everything else, and it is
/// smaller than previously claimed.** The sequential ILU(0) triangular solves are
/// **29-46% of the serial solve**, rising with problem size. On 4 cores that caps
/// an ILU(0)-preconditioned speed-up at roughly **1.7-2.1x**, and only at
/// `1/s ≈ 2.2-3.4x` on infinitely many cores.
///
/// The measured end-to-end ILU(0) speed-up is 1.49-1.51x at 262 144-512 000 cells
/// (`end_to_end_solve_speedup_benchmark`, best of 5 at lower load). So the
/// sequential preconditioner explains **most, but not all**, of why ILU(0) trails
/// Jacobi's 2.40-2.65x: about 1.7-2.1x of the gap is structural Amdahl, and the
/// remaining shortfall from 1.7x to 1.5x is ordinary parallel-efficiency loss in
/// the half that *does* thread — memory bandwidth, and 4 cores that are never
/// idle. The earlier "1.50x is close to the structural ceiling of 1.9x" was
/// therefore too generous to the implementation; the honest reading is that
/// ILU(0) is the dominant brake but not the only one.
///
/// It also tells the maintainer where the next win is: parallelising ILU(0)
/// (level scheduling) or switching to a preconditioner that is parallel by
/// construction would raise the ceiling far more than tuning any kernel here.
///
/// **Limitations.** One machine, 4 logical cores, one matrix family, one
/// tolerance, and a host that never reaches idle. `s` was measured at only two
/// load levels and moves by up to 7 percentage points between them (30.5% vs
/// 37.3% at 110 592 cells), so treat the caps as a band, not a sharp number.

///

///
/// - **Jacobi**, whose apply is embarrassingly parallel — so the whole solve is

/// - **ILU(0)**, whose apply is sequential on both backends — so this is the
///   realistic case, and the gap between the two columns *is* the Amdahl cost of
///   the sequential preconditioner.
///
/// Each figure is the best of 5 repeats of the complete solve (best-of, not mean,

/// Note also that this run's absolute serial times (2024.812 ms for Jacobi at
/// 512 000 cells) match the *reproduction* set rather than the original 1106.876
/// ms, which is further evidence for the host-variability note below rather than
/// for any change in the code.
///
/// The reproduction confirms every qualitative claim and most quantitative ones:
/// the loss at 4 096 cells, the crossover near 13 000, the ILU(0) plateau at
/// **1.51x** (against 1.50x/1.51x originally — agreement to the last digit
/// printed), and a Jacobi figure at 512 000 cells of 2.40x/2.47x against the
/// original 2.65x/2.66x. Taking all four runs together the honest headline is
/// **Jacobi 2.4-2.7x and ILU(0) ~1.5x at half a million cells**, not a single
/// sharp value.
///
/// **The absolute milliseconds are not comparable between the two sets**, and
/// this is worth stating rather than hiding: the reproduction's serial column is
/// roughly 2x slower (2131 ms against 1107 ms for Jacobi at 512 000 cells)
/// *despite* a lower load average. Both sets are internally consistent, so this
/// is a change in the machine between sessions — this is a virtualised host and
/// CPU allocation is not guaranteed stable across container restarts — not a
/// change in the code. **Only the ratios should be quoted across sessions.**
///
/// **Interpretation.**
///
/// - **There is a real end-to-end speed-up**, and this is the first time one has
///   been measurable: `HybridLdu` landed with the explicit note that nothing
///   consumed it and no solver speed-up was claimed. A whole Jacobi-preconditioned
///   BiCGStab solve on half a million cells is **2.65x faster** on 4 logical
///   cores, reproducibly (2.65x and 2.66x on two independent runs).
/// - **ILU(0) tops out at about 1.5x**, reproducibly (1.50x, 1.51x, 1.51x, 1.51x
///   across four runs at 512 000 cells — the most stable figure in this file).
///   `ilu0_serial_fraction_benchmark` accounts for most of that: its sequential
///   triangular solves are 29-46% of the *serial* solve, capping the speed-up at
///   roughly 1.7-2.1x on 4 cores. The measured 1.5x sits below that cap, so the
///   sequential preconditioner is the dominant brake but not the whole story —
///   the rest is ordinary parallel-efficiency loss in the half that does thread.
///   The gap between the two preconditioner columns is a direct measurement of
///   what the sequential preconditioner costs.
/// - **At 4 096 cells the parallel solve LOSES** — 0.62-0.81x for Jacobi and
///   0.60-0.81x for ILU(0), in every one of five independent runs. That is exactly
///   [`SPMV_MIN_CELLS`](crate::ldu_matrix::parallel::SPMV_MIN_CELLS), the floor at
///   which the *isolated* product kernel was measured to break even. A whole
///   solve does not break even there, because it interleaves the product with
///   vector operations and a preconditioner apply that all run serially at that
///   size, so the product's marginal win is diluted while the dispatch cost is
///   paid on every one of the ~16 iterations. **The product's crossover is not
///   the solve's crossover**; on this machine the solve does not reliably win
///   until roughly 13 000 cells. This is a finding for bead `op-yvj.4.7`, not
///   something fixed here.
///
/// **Limitations.** One machine, 4 logical cores, one matrix family
/// (asymmetric 7-point stencil, diagonal dominance 1.05), one tolerance, `f64`
/// CPU only, and a machine that was never idle. This is not a scaling study and
/// says nothing about a many-core server, about Android/Termux hardware, or about
/// a GPU — there is no GPU kernel in this path at all.

/// is not directly comparable in absolute terms. The *ordering* is what this

///
/// **The claim does *not* hold at 4 096 cells, and an earlier revision of this
/// file overstated it as holding "at every size tested".** GMRES measured
/// 0.62-0.78x there against BiCGStab's 0.67-0.81x — overlapping ranges, and in

/// difference between two losses is within the scatter contention introduces. The
/// ordering claim is therefore restricted to 32 768 cells and above, where the
/// separation is several times the scatter.
///
/// **Limitation.** Runs 1 and 2 were taken under heavy contention (load ~3.5-3.9
/// on 4 cores), so their absolute speed-ups are lower bounds rather than the

// ── Gate 3b: how often does the reduction order actually flip an iteration? ────

/// **Methodology.** `blocked_versus_flat_reduction_does_not_move_iteration_counts`
/// establishes that the blocked reduction moved no iteration count at five sizes
/// of one matrix family, at one tolerance, for BiCGStab. Its own stated
/// limitation is the interesting part: a solve whose residual crosses the
/// tolerance within the last couple of bits on the deciding iteration *can* flip
/// by one iteration either way, and that is inherent to changing a summation
/// order rather than a defect. That limitation was left as an argument.
///
/// This test replaces the argument with a **frequency**. It sweeps a grid of
/// 3 mesh sizes x 3 diagonal dominances x 3 right-hand-side seeds x 4 tolerances
/// = 108 systems, runs **both** solvers on each under both reduction orders
/// (blocked [`bicgstab_impl`]/[`gmres_impl`] against flat [`bicgstab_flat`]/
/// [`gmres_flat`]), and counts how many of the 216 solve-pairs disagree on the
/// iteration count.
///
/// Every size in the grid is **above** `REDUCTION_BLOCK` = 1 024, so the two
/// reduction orders genuinely differ everywhere in it; below that block they are
/// identical by construction and a sweep would be measuring nothing.
///
/// The tolerance axis is the one that matters and the reason it is swept: a
/// last-bit perturbation can only change an iteration count by moving the
/// residual across the stopping threshold, so the risk is a property of *where
/// the tolerance sits relative to the convergence curve*, not of the mesh size.
/// Sweeping 1e-6 to 1e-12 samples four different places on that curve.
///
/// **Pass criteria.** For every one of the 216 pairs: (a) both variants agree on
/// whether they converged, (b) their solutions agree to `1e-6` relative — the
/// fixed point is a property of the linear system, so no reduction order may move
/// it — and (c) their iteration counts differ by **at most 1**. Criterion (c) is
/// the substantive one: a one-iteration flip is the inherent, bounded consequence
/// of reassociating a sum, whereas a larger divergence is the signature bead
/// `op-yvj.4.4` warns about — a silently substituted preconditioner or a
/// genuinely different algorithm — and would fail here.
///
/// **Results, measured 2026-08-13**, release, `--features parallel`, 4 logical
/// cores, load average `2.41 1.39 0.77`. Deterministic: no timing is involved, so
/// these are exact and reproducible, not a band.
///
/// | Solver | Pairs | Iteration-count flips | Max abs. flip | Max rel. diff in final residual |
/// |---|---|---|---|---|
/// | BiCGStab | 108 | **0** | 0 | 2.220e-4 |
/// | GMRES(30) | 108 | **0** | 0 | 1.831e-4 |
/// | **Total** | **216** | **0** | **0** | **2.220e-4** |
///
/// The two worst cases, printed by the test alongside the totals:
///
/// | Solver | Where | Iterations | Residual (blocked) | Residual (flat) | Absolute difference |
/// |---|---|---|---|---|---|
/// | BiCGStab | 13 824 cells, dominance 1.02, seed `0xbadf00d`, tol 1e-12 | 30 | 8.620746e-13 | 8.622660e-13 | ~1.9e-16 |
/// | GMRES(30) | 8 000 cells, dominance 1.15, seed `0xdeadbeef`, tol 1e-12 | 18 | 2.081282e-13 | 2.081663e-13 | ~3.8e-17 |
///
/// **Interpretation.** Across 216 solve-pairs spanning four tolerances, three
/// diagonal dominances, three right-hand sides, two solvers and three mesh sizes,
/// the blocked reduction changed the iteration count **zero times**. The
/// hypothetical one-iteration flip is therefore not merely bounded in principle;
/// it was not observed at all in this grid.
///
/// **The residual difference is much larger in relative terms than the five-size
/// test found — 2.2e-4 against 4.1e-8 — and that is worth reading carefully
/// rather than alarming.** Both worst cases occur at the *tightest* tolerance
/// swept, 1e-12, and the table above shows why: the differing quantity is itself
/// only 8.6e-13 (or 2.1e-13), so an **absolute** difference of ~1.9e-16 — a
/// couple of `f64` epsilons against the vector norms involved — presents as 2.2e-4
/// *relative*. The five-size test ran only at 1e-10, where the residual is two
/// orders of magnitude larger and the same absolute perturbation therefore reads
/// two orders of magnitude smaller. This is the raw-versus-conditioned distinction
/// documented on [`crate::ldu_matrix::parallel::dot`], seen at its extreme: a
/// converged residual is the small difference of large numbers, and the tighter
/// the tolerance the more completely it is cancelled.
///
/// The consequence for a caller is the reassuring one, and it is strongest in the
/// BiCGStab case: that worst case stopped at a residual of 8.620746e-13 against a
/// tolerance of 1e-12, i.e. at **0.86x its own stopping threshold** — about as
/// close to the deciding boundary as this grid gets, precisely the situation in
/// which a last-bit perturbation could flip an iteration — and the iteration count
/// still did not move. The GMRES worst case sat further inside its tolerance
/// (2.081282e-13 against 1e-12, or 0.21x), so it is the weaker of the two as
/// evidence about behaviour near the threshold.
///
/// **GMRES was the one at risk and it also did not flip.** GMRES(30) runs roughly
/// four times as many reductions per iteration as BiCGStab (`j + 1` Modified
/// Gram-Schmidt inner products at Arnoldi step `j`, against a fixed four), and its
/// stopping test reads the Givens recurrence `|g[j+1]|` rather than a freshly
/// recomputed norm, so a perturbation propagates through a cycle instead of being
/// refreshed. It was the structurally more exposed solver, it had never been
/// compared under the two reduction orders before, and it came out at zero flips
/// like BiCGStab.
///
/// **Limitations.** 216 systems of **one matrix family** (asymmetric 7-point
/// stencil, fixed-seed pseudorandom coefficients), one preconditioner (ILU(0)),
/// `f64` CPU only. Zero observed flips in this grid is an upper bound of roughly
/// 1-in-216 on the flip rate for systems like these, **not** a proof that no
/// system anywhere flips — the mechanism by which one could remains exactly as
/// described above. A user whose tolerance sits on a near-vertical part of their
/// convergence curve should still expect the last iteration to be able to move by
/// one, and should not treat an iteration count as reproducible across a change
/// of summation order the way this crate's backends guarantee it across a change
/// of *thread count*.
