Host polling depth over T512-N4

Batching multiple launches before result copy/synchronization improves end-to-end throughput by amortizing host overhead.

Claim statusNO END-TO-END MINING ADVANTAGE DEMONSTRATED

Diagnostic work, exact algebra and local capabilities are not treated as end-to-end mining advantage.

01 / Question & hypothesis

What was tested?

Batching multiple launches before result copy/synchronization improves end-to-end throughput by amortizing host overhead.

02 / Scientific basis

Why the test is meaningful

Polling depth changes orchestration rather than SHA arithmetic; gains must be weighed against detection latency.

depth P∈{1,2,4,8}Rwall(P)=throughput(P)/throughput(P1)latency≈P·single-launch duration

03 / Method

How it was tested

Keep TPB512/NPT4 fixed, process 96 equal batches per run and test four unseen headers across 32 measurements.

04 / Observed result

What happened

P8 wall ratio1.002705×
Positive headers4 / 4
StatusCANDIDATE

P2, P4 and P8 ratios were 1.001861, 1.002225 and 1.002705. P8 was positive on 4/4 headers and its 95% interval 1.001201–1.004211 stayed above one, but it exceeded the gate on only 3/4 headers.

05 / Validation

Exactness and statistical controls

Compiled depth, exact B32 results, spills and registers were audited. P8 remains a candidate pending independent replication.

06 / Interpretation

What the result means

Host synchronization amortization is a plausible small local mechanism with an explicit latency tradeoff.

Limitations

  • Discovery campaign only.
  • Deeper polling delays work cancellation.
  • Energy was not measured.
07 / Reproduction

Evidence trail

Freeze P1/P8 binaries before new headers and replicate wall throughput plus polling interval.
