Evidence readout
microbench `3-4x`, but end-to-end WASM training only `1.03-1.06x` after forward blocking
What the attempt taught
Optimize and report on the real workload, not only on isolated single-kernel microbenches.
Why it stopped or stayed bounded
The isolated microbench overstated impact because the real WASM training workload was threaded, already SIMD-vectorized, and dominated by backward matmuls.
Method and scope
- Experiment family: runtime perf.
- Record kind: infrastructure.
Disposition
Keep the bit-exact forward kernel for inference, but judge future perf work with end-to-end training and generation benches.
This retained disposition is historical evidence, not authorization to restart the experiment. A new run needs a fresh question, frozen evaluator, explicit resource budget, and scoped tracking issue.
How to read this dossier
This canonical page separates the retained repository decision from the material that informed it. A source may describe an external claim, historical measurement, local observation, or planned procedure; those evidence classes are not interchangeable. Follow the provenance links before reusing a number or method.
Status and disposition describe what PostTrainLLM retained when this record was indexed. They are not a live product promise, a newly run benchmark, or permission to restart historical work. Unknown or unmeasured fields remain unknown rather than being treated as zero.
To reuse the record, first name the exact claim you need and trace it to the linked source. Then check whether the original environment, model revision, data split, evaluator, hardware, and budget match the proposed use. If they do not, treat the record as a hypothesis or design reference and run the smallest fresh comparison that can falsify it. Preserve negative outcomes and regressions beside any improvement; a local win on one slice does not silently become a general capability claim.
