test(bench): open the bench:ir window after V8's tier-up (LAB-12188) - #303
bench:ir warmed every cheap workload for 2,000 ops, which its comments said was "past V8's tier-up". It was not. V8 compiles a function with TurboFan after about 3,000 calls, and a function called once per op only got there after 10,000 to 45,000 ops. So 18 of the 33 workloads finished TurboFan compiles inside the measured window, and 22 had some optimizing compile or deopt there. That compile time was up to 48% of a workload's Ir/op. It is a one-time cost divided by n, and it moves with a function's size and V8's inlining choices rather than with the op's cost, so a set-path PR could move the gate by thousands of Ir/op with no per-op change behind it.
This PR makes every workload's window open after V8 has finished compiling its op:
ir.mjs adds --invocation-count-for-turbofan=150 to V8_FLAGS. It lowers the Maglev-to-TurboFan step only; the interpreter-to-Maglev step stays at 400 calls, so the 1 MB workloads, whose set path runs 40-70 times, still never compile it.
One repeat() function runs the warm-up and the window. The old loop in the module body had V8 Maglev-compile the module body inside the window and deoptimise it at the window's end, in 13 workloads.
Seven workloads get their own warm-up or window (ir-workload.mjs, each with the reason beside it). keygen-wasm, keygen-wasm-1kb and secure-set-get read through Node's TextDecoder, whose decode V8 compiles with TurboFan at about 2,400 ops. get-l1-hit compiles getEntry at about 2,200, and the 100 B and 10 KB encrypted wrap() hits recompile their encoder up to about 2,500. All six warm up for 4,000 ops. plaintext-set-100kb goes from 200 to 1,300 warm-up ops: at 200 its set path compiled with Maglev inside the window, and V8 has finished by about 960. l1-set-at-capacity-100k runs 20,000 ops instead of 2,000; the next section says why.
The two CachekitIO workloads warm until 8 calls have been timed (warmTimed), so where the latency sampler's RNG puts the timed calls no longer decides what lands in their windows. The section "The timed call's RNG phase" says why.
bench/ir-seconds.json is refreshed for all 33 workloads. The flag changes every workload's run time, and five workloads had no figure, so they counted as the median.
The tier-up comments in ir-workload.mjs and ir.mjs, and the bench:ir paragraph in CONTRIBUTING.md, now describe what the bench does.
Why a flag rather than longer warm-ups
At V8's default threshold, the warm-ups needed would be 15,000 to 60,000 ops on about 20 workloads. By the traces' last-compile points, that is 2-4x their current runs, which would roughly double the gate's measuring time. With the flag, 26 workloads are clean at their existing warm-ups, and the rest need at most 4,000. The flag barely changes what is measured: after a 60,000-op warm-up, six workloads read the same Ir/op at both thresholds to within 0.32%.

l1-set-at-capacity-100k: a 20,000-op window
Under the new flag, this workload's A/A spread went to 0.8-1.9% in full-suite runs: two values, 8,422 and 8,582 Ir/op, in 2 or 3 of every 8 repeats. Its 100,000 live entries keep V8's incremental marking of the old generation running through the window, and how much of that marking lands in a 2,000-op window differed between runs under load. A different warm-up did not fix it: 1,500 repeated in isolation and split again in the full suite. --no-incremental-marking steadied it but made plaintext-set-1mb split instead (0.64%). A 20,000-op window repeats: 12 parallel runs read within 323 Ir of each other in 249 million (0.0001%), and the full suite reads 0.000%. The cost is that its Ir/op now includes the old-generation GC that 100,000-entry churn pays, 12,802 against about 8,500.
How the windows were checked
Every workload ran under V8_FLAGS on Node 24.21.0 (V8 13.6.233.17, the same V8 as the gate's Node 24.22.1) with --trace-opt --trace-deopt, and a local copy of ir-workload.mjs printed a line at each process.cpuUsage() call. Output went through stdbuf -o0, so V8's trace and the markers keep their order. Every completed compiling and bailout line between the two markers counts. One run under callgrind printed the same 101 compiles as plain node, with none in the window.
In the window at main (6e414ae), default threshold, old harness
The TurboFan column lists the functions that completed a TurboFan compile between the markers. Anonymous ones are the workload's op closure or a callback.
None, for all 33 workloads: no optimizing compile and no deopt between the markers.
Ir/op, old against new, on one build
Both runs are local, on one build of main (6e414ae), Node 24.21.0, valgrind 3.22, --jobs 8. Old is main's bench/, 3 repeats; new is this PR's, 5 repeats. Bold rows moved by more than 1%: 21 of the 33. The largest drops are on the cheapest ops, where a fixed compile cost was the biggest share of the window. l1-set-at-capacity-100k also changed its n.

A/A: the new run's largest spread is 0.004% (plaintext-set-100kb), against the 0.4% limit, so no row reads INCONCLUSIVE (A/A). An earlier 8-repeat full run of every other workload had none above 0.01%.
Run time and shard balance
The gate balances its four shards on bench/ir-seconds.json. The file was missing five workloads, which counted as the median, and that left the shard holding secure-wrap-l1-hit-1mb at about 726 seconds per tree while another ran 240. Every new figure is a CI figure from the gate's most recent measured run, whose bench/ matches main's (base.json, seconds / repeats), scaled by the ratio of this PR's local run time to main's, both from the runs in the table above. Because the warm-ups now run on optimized code, most workloads run faster: the suite's estimated CI time per tree goes from 1,841 s to 1,467 s. Under the refreshed file, the estimated per-tree load per shard goes from 240 / 440 / 726 / 436 s to 360 / 369 / 369 / 369 s.

After merging main (758edc0)
main added three workloads after this branch forked: get-l2-hit-metrics, wrap-l1-hit-cachekitio and wrap-l1-hit-int-cachekitio. Traced as above on Node 22 and 24, under this branch's V8_FLAGS:

Node 22 showed no in-window compile for any of the three at 2,000. With d5bd504, none of the 36 windows has an optimizing compile or a deopt on Node 22 or 24. l1-get-hit's window still has a GC mark L1Cache.set's code for a lazy deopt ("allocation site tenuring changed"), exactly as at 120fa56; set never runs in that window. The two CachekitIO rows changed again at c405afd: see the next section.
The timed call's RNG phase (ae9839f, c405afd)
The two CachekitIO workloads time 1 call in 1,024 into the backend's L1 latency report. The cache picks those calls with an xorshift sampler that it seeds from Math.random() when it is made, so any extra Math.random() call before then, such as one at a build's module load, moves them. At d5bd504, one Math.random(); prepended to dist/index.js made the gate read wrap-l1-hit-int-cachekitio 2,529 → 4,690 Ir/op (+85.45%) and wrap-l1-hit-cachekitio 17,138 → 21,283 (+24.19%), both FAIL, with no hot-path change. Traced with 0 to 63 extra draws before setup, 16 of 64 phases (int) and 29 of 64 (object) deoptimised and recompiled the op inside the window.
Four things moved with the phase:
The first timed call could come after V8 had compiled the op without the timed path. The op then deoptimised there ("insufficient type feedback") and recompiled, which on Node 24 takes up to ~3,400 ops (int) and ~1,600 (object).
A timed call on another path gives the window's path no feedback. In the int workload, the first hit of each memoised key takes the full lookup, not the held-entry path that every call in the window takes.
V8 gives a function its feedback vector at about its 8th call. The functions only a timed call runs (stopL1Timer, L1LatencyReport.record, the clock) get there only after about 8 timed calls. At the old 4,000-op warm-up their first calls fell in the window, a one-time 3.3M Ir: at n 100,000 instead of 20,000, d5bd504 reads 2,397 instead of 2,529, against 2,364 at this head.
How many ops run before the window decides how many scavenges land in it. For the int workload that is 5 or 6, 33 Ir/op (1.4%) apart.
warmTimed, at the end of both setups, runs the op 64 times on its window path and empties the report. It then runs 24 × 1,024 calls, and more only while fewer than 8 of them have been timed (probability below 0.01%), so the op count, and with it the scavenges in the window, does not move with the phase. Before it, the int workload's setup hits each of its 64 keys once, so the memo holds every key's entry. Both workloads keep their d5bd504 warm-ups.

On one build, Node 24.22.1, 3 repeats, wrap-l1-hit-int-cachekitio moves from 2,529 to 2,362 Ir/op (-6.6%, the one-time cost above) and wrap-l1-hit-cachekitio from 17,138 to 17,183 (+0.26%). main's bench/, under its own flags, reads 4,655 and 28,498 on that build.
bench/ir-seconds.json now has wrap-l1-hit-cachekitio 22 → 34, wrap-l1-hit-int-cachekitio 20 → 23 and get-l2-hit-metrics 63 (it had none, so it counted as the median). Each is the gate's most recent CI figure for main's bench/ (base.json, seconds / repeats: 27.7, 21.0 and 119.0) scaled by this head's local run time over main's, measured side by side on one build, twice each: 1.22 and 1.25, 1.10 and 1.08, 0.58 and 0.48.
Limits
secure-wrap-l1-hit-1mb (20 warm-up ops, n 50) next compiles at op 72, two ops after its window closes. That is unchanged from main. A compile that slipped into its window would cost about 0.01% of its Ir/op, so it is left as it is.
l1-set-at-capacity-100k now measures its share of old-generation GC (see above).
On Node 22, which the gate does not run, the clock reads the process global through its getter twice per timed call, and V8 compiles that getter with TurboFan after roughly 47,000 to 77,000 int ops, depending on how many calls were timed. In 2 of 512 phases that compile lands in the wrap-l1-hit-int-cachekitio window and reads +1.7% (2,349 against 2,310). Warming past it would take about three times the run. Node 24 first compiles the getter, with Maglev, after about 190,000 ops.
The report is a private field of the cache, so since 927975awarmTimed finds it among the cache's fields by its class (L1LatencyReport), not by its name. A build without that class, such as cachekit-v0.2.3, the release PR's base, skips warmTimed and runs both workloads. A build with the class whose cache holds no readable report throws, and its rows read INCOMPLETE rather than a false regression. That happens with CACHEKIT_TELEMETRY=off, or when the report moves somewhere warmTimed does not look. Renaming the field in a built cache-core.js now reads 0.00% / 0.00% (ok). At c405afd, which read the field by name, the same rename read +6.99% (FAIL).
This PR changes only bench/ and CONTRIBUTING.md, so the gate's build hash matches on both trees and the gate passes without measuring. Every figure here comes from local runs.
V8 compiles a function with TurboFan after about 3,000 calls, and later for one
called once per op, so a 2,000-op warm-up left most cheap workloads compiling
inside the measured window: up to 48% of their Ir/op, moving with function size
and inlining rather than per-op cost. ir.mjs now lowers the TurboFan threshold
(--invocation-count-for-turbofan=150); after a 60,000-op warm-up it moves
Ir/op by at most 0.32%. One loop function runs warm-up and window, so the
module body no longer compiles and deoptimises in the window. Six workloads that
tier up past 2,000 ops warm up 4,000; plaintext-set-100kb 1,300.
l1-set-at-capacity-100k runs 20,000 ops so V8's marking of its old generation
repeats. ir-seconds.json is refreshed for all workloads.

Summary by CodeRabbit
Documentation
Clarified how benchmark warm-up and measurement periods relate to V8 compilation, how to check for compilation during measurements, and which workloads measure steady-state code.
Documented that comparisons reject results with different V8 flags, and that A/B runs use the same benchmark copy; warm-up settings and operation counts are not checked between copies.
Benchmarking
Updated benchmark measurements and added results for cache-hit and secure-wrap scenarios.
Adjusted warm-up periods and operation counts for selected workloads, and improved how measured operations are selected.
Walkthrough
The benchmark lowers V8’s TurboFan invocation threshold and adjusts workload warm-up counts. The CLI uses a shared helper for warm-up and measured operations. Benchmark measurements and comparison documentation are updated.
Changes
Instruction-count benchmark measurement
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Set the TurboFan threshold and document comparison packages/cachekit/bench/ir.mjs, CONTRIBUTING.md
The benchmark adds a lower TurboFan invocation threshold. Its notes and the contribution guide describe tier-up, measurement windows, warm-up settings, and comparison conditions.
Configure workload warm-up and execution packages/cachekit/bench/ir-workload.mjs
The workload code adds warmTimed, adjusts warm-up counts for selected workloads, and uses one helper for warm-up and measured operations.
Update recorded benchmark measurements packages/cachekit/bench/ir-seconds.json
Existing measurements are updated, and entries are added for additional L1-hit, L2-hit, and secure-wrap workloads.
The benchmark warms workloads before measurement. No actionable merge-blocking issue was established.

Use the head benchmark harness for both builds.
The head adds a V8 flag that the fingerprint records. A result saved with the base harness therefore fails the head comparison after measurement. This PR also changes workload counts and warm-ups, but the comparison does not fingerprint those settings.
Update the instructions to state that contributors must run the head bench/ir.mjs and bench/ir-workload.mjs against the base build before saving /tmp/base.json, then use the same harness files for --compare on the head build.

- Line 150: Update the steady-state claim in the instructions-per-op paragraph
to name `plaintext-set-1mb` as an exception: its `set()` path does not reach
TurboFan during the measurement window, so the window does not count
steady-state code. Keep the existing warm-up behaviour unchanged.
Review comments at @packages/cachekit/bench/ir-workload.mjs:
- Line 467: Update the --wall measurement flow around repeat and
WORKLOADS[name].warmup so get-l1-hit and keygen-wasm complete a separate warm-up
under default V8 flags before the measured window if they compile or deoptimise
during measurement; keep the existing V8_FLAGS-based warm-up for other runs.

Two workloads that main added after this branch forked did not yet meet
its rule that no optimizing compile lands in a window:
- wrap-l1-hit-int-cachekitio: on Node 24, V8 compiles the wrap() closure
with TurboFan at ~2,050 ops, just after the default 2,000-op warm-up.
That compile was 43% of the workload's reading (callgrind, Node
24.22.1: 4,408 Ir/op at 2,000 warm-up ops, 2,533 at 4,000). It now
warms 4,000 ops.
- get-l2-hit-metrics: its 30,000-op warm-up and the "~40 compiles at
2,000" note predate the lowered TurboFan threshold. Under ir.mjs's
flags the only late compile is Node's TextDecoder decode, at ~2,400
ops on Node 24, so it now warms 4,000 ops like secure-set-get. Ir/op
moved +0.08% (263,208 to 263,406).
Traced with --trace-opt --trace-deopt and a marker at each
process.cpuUsage() call: no compile or deopt lands in any of the 36
windows on Node 22 or 24. (l1-get-hit's window still has a GC mark
L1Cache.set's code for a lazy deopt, as before this commit; set never
runs in that window.) Both workloads repeat within 0.02% (A/A).
Note: CodeRabbit is an incremental review system and does not re-review already reviewed commits. This command is applicable only when automatic reviews are paused.
…NG phase
The cache times 1 call in 1,024 into its L1 latency report, drawn by a
sampler seeded from Math.random. One extra draw before setup (a single
Math.random() at a build's module load) moved the first timed call past
V8's compile of the op: the op deoptimised and compiled again inside the
window, and wrap-l1-hit-int-cachekitio read +85% with no hot-path change.
warmTimed now runs each CachekitIO op on its window path, past V8's lazy
feedback allocation, for 8 x oneIn calls and on until one is timed, before
the warm-up opens the window. The count is fixed, so the scavenges in the
window do not move with the sampler. Each warm-up is twice the longest
recompile measured after a late timed call. ir-seconds.json gains the
re-timed rows for the two workloads and get-l2-hit-metrics.
The functions only a timed call runs (recording its duration) get their
feedback vectors at about their 8th call. With fewer timed calls before
the window, their first calls landed in it: at the old 4,000-op warm-up
that was a one-time 3.3M instructions, 132 Ir/op of
wrap-l1-hit-int-cachekitio's 2,529, and how many timed calls came first
followed the sampler's RNG phase.
warmTimed now runs 24 x oneIn calls, more only while fewer than 8 have
been timed, so the count stays fixed and the scavenges in the window with
it. Its calls also cover the op's tier-up, so the two workloads keep their
earlier warm-ups. ir-seconds.json takes the run times this costs.

… that hides it
warmTimed read the cache's private l1Latency and skipped its warm-up when
the field was missing, as it is in a build from before the report. A build
that only renamed the field then measured the timed path cold:
wrap-l1-hit-int-cachekitio read +7% with no change behind it.
warmTimed now skips only when the build has no L1LatencyReport class.
Otherwise it finds the report among the cache's fields by its class, which
holds across a rename on either side of a compare, and throws when the cache
holds none it can read: telemetry switched off, or the report moved.

bench:irwarmed every cheap workload for 2,000 ops, which its comments said was "past V8's tier-up". It was not. V8 compiles a function with TurboFan after about 3,000 calls, and a function called once per op only got there after 10,000 to 45,000 ops. So 18 of the 33 workloads finished TurboFan compiles inside the measured window, and 22 had some optimizing compile or deopt there. That compile time was up to 48% of a workload's Ir/op. It is a one-time cost divided by n, and it moves with a function's size and V8's inlining choices rather than with the op's cost, so a set-path PR could move the gate by thousands of Ir/op with no per-op change behind it.This PR makes every workload's window open after V8 has finished compiling its op:
ir.mjsadds--invocation-count-for-turbofan=150toV8_FLAGS. It lowers the Maglev-to-TurboFan step only; the interpreter-to-Maglev step stays at 400 calls, so the 1 MB workloads, whose set path runs 40-70 times, still never compile it.repeat()function runs the warm-up and the window.

The flag changes every workload's run time, and five workloads had no figure, so they counted as the median.ir-workload.mjsandir.mjs, and thebench:irparagraph inCONTRIBUTING.md, now describe what the bench does.Why a flag rather than longer warm-ups
At V8's default threshold, the warm-ups needed would be 15,000 to 60,000 ops on about 20 workloads. By the traces' last-compile points, that is 2-4x their current runs, which would roughly double the gate's measuring time. With the flag, 26 workloads are clean at their existing warm-ups, and the rest need at most 4,000. The flag barely changes what is measured: after a 60,000-op warm-up, six workloads read the same Ir/op at both thresholds to within 0.32%.

Its 100,000 live entries keep V8's incremental marking of the old generation running through the window, and how much of that marking lands in a 2,000-op window differed between runs under load. A different warm-up did not fix it: 1,500 repeated in isolation and split again in the full suite.

A 20,000-op window repeats: 12 parallel runs read within 323 Ir of each other in 249 million (0.0001%), and the full suite reads 0.000%. The cost is that its Ir/op now includes the old-generation GC that 100,000-entry churn pays, 12,802 against about 8,500.How the windows were checked

A build with the class whose cache holds no readable report throws, and its rows read INCOMPLETE rather than a false regression. That happens withCACHEKIT_TELEMETRY=off, or when the report moves somewherewarmTimeddoes not look. Renaming the field in a builtcache-core.jsnow reads 0.00% / 0.00% (ok). Atc405afd, which read the field by name, the same rename read +6.99% (FAIL).bench/andCONTRIBUTING.md, so the gate's build hash matches on both trees and the gate passes without measuring. Every figure here comes from local runs.Closes LAB-12188
