Independent replication of P32 warp cancellation

The exact P32 warp-broadcast primitive replicates responsive cancellation with throughput retention high enough for default selection.

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?

The exact P32 warp-broadcast primitive replicates responsive cancellation with throughput retention high enough for default selection.

02 / Scientific basis

Why the test is meaningful

A sub-percent control cost requires unseen headers, frozen binaries and repeated paired measurements to distinguish a real penalty from launch noise.

03 / Method

How it was tested

Freeze control and warp-epoch binaries, then use eight fresh headers, five repetitions per header, 80 paired runs, eight cancellations and full 2^32 exactness per variant.

04 / Observed result

What happened

Latency passing8 / 8
Retention0.998948
Retention CI950.998676–0.999219

Cancellation passed 8/8 at 6.49–14.66 ms. Retention was 0.998948 with CI95 0.998676–0.999219; the candidate was favorable on 0/8 datasets.

05 / Validation

Exactness and statistical controls

Both variants covered 2^32, produced zero discrepancies and compiled with 44 registers and zero spills. The ~0.105% penalty reproduced independently.

06 / Interpretation

What the result means

P32 warp cancellation is technically valid and responsive, but not throughput-neutral enough to become the default. It remains engineering evidence, not a pool advantage.

Limitations

  • The result is specific to the tested GPU stack.
  • Energy was not a promotion endpoint here.
  • A latency option may have operational value without being a mining advantage.
07 / Reproduction

Evidence trail

Use the frozen binaries and eight unseen headers; require all exactness and latency gates before interpreting the paired retention interval.
