From be515c3d8d862a9d6321db2f508c580dda43e824 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anders Olsson Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 14:47:29 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] bench(history): end-to-end History::converge benchmark + rayon perf fix MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Adds benches/history_converge.rs with three workloads: - 500 events / 100 competitors / 10 events per slice - 2000 events / 200 competitors / 20 events per slice - 5000 events / 50000 competitors / 5000 events per slice (gate workload) Investigation found the original rayon path used a compute/apply split with EventOutput heap allocation per event, causing 3-23x regression. Root cause: per-event allocations caused heavy allocator contention across rayon threads. Fixes: - Replace EventOutput/two-phase approach with direct unsafe parallel write. Events in a color group have disjoint agent index sets; concurrent writes to SkillStore land on different Vec slots — no data race. - Add RAYON_THRESHOLD=64: color groups below this size fall back to sequential to avoid rayon overhead on small slices. - Game internals: switch likelihoods/teams to SmallVec<[_;8]> to avoid heap allocation for ≤8-team / ≤8-player-per-team games. Add type aliases Teams and Likelihoods to satisfy clippy::type_complexity. - within_priors() and outputs() now return SmallVec; callers updated to use ranked_with_arena_sv() directly (avoiding Vec→SmallVec conversion).
