Performance measurement

Performance belongs to one source revision, proof profile, authenticated matrix pack, build profile and host. It is not a consensus constant and cannot be inferred from core count alone.

The measurements below use Parano1d revision 39626b22d53cf2f2c480a7e28446c197dca68043, the production C1 profile and the authenticated B25/B255 matrix pack. The table contains isolated production benchmarks only.

The terminal sizes are for expanded authentication paths. Shared-path encoding reduces stored and transmitted bytes; its exact size depends on the openings. These measurements do not include shared-path codec overhead.

PoW nonce search is not included in the table. ASERT targets the complete elapsed interval between accepted blocks. It does not assign a separate 20-second budget to nonce search. Proof preparation, nonce search and network propagation all occupy the same observed block interval, and ASERT adjusts the nonce target against that complete cadence.

Wallet authorization

The wallet harness measures page construction, logical hashing, one authorization capsule, complete intent encode/decode and local capsule admission. It excludes network latency and block HistoryStep proving.

NOID_WALLET_BENCH_SAMPLES=20 cargo run --release --locked \
  --manifest-path research/two_class/Cargo.toml \
  --bin two-class-wallet-bench

The production C1 wallet uses 65 Fiat–Shamir queries. One PagedSpend contains one authorization capsule whether it occupies one page or the full 128 pages. The canonical serialized authorization has a 92,696-byte worst-case bound.

HistoryStep

The isolated production benchmark requires a completed and authenticated matrix pack. Run each class separately so the output identifies the exact parent and child class.

NOID_PACK_ROOT=../parano1d-artifacts/history-step-pack-v1
source "$NOID_PACK_ROOT/pins.env"
export NOID_HISTORY_STEP_PACK_DIR="$NOID_PACK_ROOT"

NOID_HISTORY_STEP_BENCH_FILTER=B25 \
NOID_HISTORY_STEP_BENCH_SAMPLES=20 \
cargo bench --locked -p bench_prover --bench history_step_proof

NOID_HISTORY_STEP_BENCH_FILTER=B255 \
NOID_HISTORY_STEP_BENCH_SAMPLES=20 \
cargo bench --locked -p bench_prover --bench history_step_proof

cargo bench uses the optimized bench profile. Transaction construction, wallet proving, block-template construction and matrix authentication are setup. history_step_ms covers parent-terminal decoding, bounded input and authorization preparation, recursive assembly, nonce sealing, proof construction and terminal encoding. verify_ms covers bounded wire decoding and complete terminal verification.

End-to-end block production

The isolated proof measurement is not the complete mining latency. Capacity decisions must measure:

select intents
  + assemble the current block trace
  + replay and bind the parent terminal
  + prove HistoryStep
  + search the nonce
  + submit and accept the block

Nonce search and network propagation vary independently from proof construction. End-to-end comparisons must use the complete production path on the final host. The miner's automatic B255 permission uses only the first completed B25 preparation and a four-times timing estimate, as described in Mining architecture. Official binaries keep a portable baseline and select the pclmul, avx2+vpclmul, avx512bw+vpclmul or neon+pmull backend at runtime.
