The corpus, its generator, its regime lock and its methodology entry landed with the decision; the baseline block did not, and the settled paragraph in the masterplan said so in the future tense. This records it. Measured 2026-08-09 in the digest-pinned container on the RTX 3080, --assetlike --gpu --warmup 3 --runs 30: GPU decode p50 4.748 ms, 44.2 GB/s, parse-only ceiling 2.574 ms, 81.5 GB/s, CPU oracle 10.028 GB/s. Three consecutive invocations gave 4.748, 4.756 and 4.307 ms, and that spread is recorded beside the block rather than smoothed away. No ratio against the Silesia rows is drawn. Those were taken before the gather narrowing landed (#58), so a comparison would mix two kernels and this host's session drift into one number. What the row reads instead is the split inside its own invocation - copies are 2.174 ms of the 4.748 ms decode - and it says plainly that placing this regime against the others on today's kernel needs them re-measured in one session.

What was already there, and what was not
The decision is recorded in the masterplan's section 8 "Settled:" paragraph,
the generator is
--assetlikeinbench/bench_lz4.cpp, the regime lock isthe CPU-only
bench_assetlike_selfcheckctest, and the corpus entry with itsmodel-not-workload caveat is in
docs/BENCHMARK-METHODOLOGY.md. Four of thefive done-when bullets.
The fifth was the baseline block in
docs/BENCHMARKS.md, and the masterplanitself said so in the future tense ("carries it too once that block is
recorded"). This records it and puts that sentence in the present.
The measurement
RTX 3080, driver 560.94, in the digest-pinned container
(
nvidia/cuda:12.6.2-devel-ubuntu24.04), 2026-08-09.The full report block goes into
docs/BENCHMARKS.mdverbatim, as every otherrow does.
Three consecutive invocations of the same command:
That is ~10% of session drift, the same effect perf pass 4 measured on this
host. It is written beside the block rather than smoothed into an average, and
it is why the prose reads only what one invocation says about itself.
What the row deliberately does not say
No ratio against the Silesia rows. Those were taken before the gather
narrowing landed (#58), so a comparison would put two kernels and this host's
drift into one number, which is the defect this repository's methodology
section exists against. The row reads its own invocation instead: copies are
4.748 - 2.574 = 2.174 ms, about 46% of the decode, and the GPU-over-CPU factor
is ~4.4× with both halves timed in the same run. Where the asset-like regime
sits against the other corpora on today's kernel needs them all re-measured in
one session, and the row says that rather than implying an answer.
The methodology document gains the matching table, with the same omission
stated in the same place.
Gate
Documentation only - no source, test or build file changes, so the container
test run is unchanged from
mainatffd0789, where it was100% tests passed, 0 tests failed out of 36.No second person read this change. The evidence above stands in place of one.
