P32 warp-broadcast epoch cancellation

One global epoch load per warp, broadcast with shuffle, can meet cancellation latency while retaining at least 99.95% of P32 throughput.

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?

One global epoch load per warp, broadcast with shuffle, can meet cancellation latency while retaining at least 99.95% of P32 throughput.

02 / Scientific basis

Why the test is meaningful

Warp broadcast divides global control loads across 32 lanes and avoids a block barrier, creating a lower-overhead cancellation primitive.

03 / Method

How it was tested

Implement one epoch read per warp for each P32 launch; run full 2^32 exactness, 24 paired benchmarks and four independently timestamped cancellations.

04 / Observed result

What happened

Cancel response9.94–14.84 ms
Retention0.999309
Exactness errors0

All responses passed at 9.94–14.84 ms and exactness had zero discrepancies. Retention was 0.999309 with CI95 0.999092–0.999526, favorable on 0/4 headers.

05 / Validation

Exactness and statistical controls

B32, compiled factors, 44 registers and zero spills passed. Functional cancellation passed, while the preregistered throughput gate did not.

06 / Interpretation

What the result means

The mechanism is exact and responsive, but its measured cost prevents promotion as the default. Independent replication is needed to characterize the penalty.

Limitations

  • A functional primitive is not an end-to-end strategy.
  • The point estimate misses the strict retention gate.
  • No ASIC behavior is inferred.
07 / Reproduction

Evidence trail

Use the sealed P32 control and warp-epoch binaries, full-domain audit, balanced ordering and the unchanged 0.9995 gate.
