Executive Summary + +This report quantifies the **steady-state heap footprint** of the +Per-Partition Circuit Breaker (PPCB) in the Cosmos DB Rust driver under a +realistic worst-case workload of **80,000 partitions × 2 failed regions +per partition**. + +**Key results:** + +| Dimension | PPCB Disabled | PPCB Enabled (worst case) | Delta | +|---|---:|---:|---:| +| **Peak live heap** | 1,380 B | **24,604,302 B (≈ 23.46 MiB)** | **+24,602,922 B** | +| **Peak live blocks** | 13 | **160,014** | **+160,001** | +| **Bytes per partition entry** | — | **~308 B** | — | +| **Heap blocks per partition entry** | — | **2** | — | +| **Memory leaks** | 0 | 0 | — | + +**Headline takeaways:** + +1. **PPCB-on with no failures has effectively zero overhead.** The empty + `circuit_breaker_overrides` map consumes 0 bytes / 0 blocks on the + heap. The "PPCB enabled" tax materializes only when partitions + actually fail. +2. **At full saturation (every partition tripped), the driver carries + ~23.5 MiB of routing state for an 80k-partition account.** This is + the upper bound; real fleets will sit well below this number because + the failback loop continually drains the map. +3. **One single allocation accounts for 81.5 % of the peak heap** — the + main `HashMap` backing array. +4. **Block-count pressure is the more interesting story** — 160 k heap + blocks at peak, with ~2 blocks per partition. This drives allocator + contention during partition-event storms. +5. **No leaks** — the trace shows clean teardown (`t-end: 0 bytes / 0 + blocks`) in both modes. + +There is one specific, low-risk change (replacing +`HashSet` with a stack-bounded small vector) that would +**halve the block-count pressure** with negligible code complexity. +That change has since been **applied and measured**: see §15 for the +verified v2 outcome, which exceeded the original projection — block +count at peak dropped from 160 k to ~15 (−99.99 %) rather than just +halving, because `SmallVec`'s `union` feature also let +`PartitionFailoverEntry` shrink. + +--- + +## 2. Background + +### 2.1 What is PPCB? + +PPCB ("Per-Partition Circuit Breaker") is a routing component in the +Cosmos DB driver that detects per-partition failures and routes future +requests for an unhealthy `(PartitionKeyRange, Region)` pair to an +alternate region. After the failed region recovers, a background +failback loop transitions the partition back to its original endpoint +via probe-based recovery. PPCB applies to: + +- All read operations. +- Write operations on multi-master accounts. + +(See `docs/PARTITION_LEVEL_FAILOVER_SPEC.md` in +`azure_data_cosmos_driver` for the full design.) + +### 2.2 Where the memory lives + +PPCB state is held on a single instance of `PartitionEndpointState`, +managed lock-free via `crossbeam_epoch::Atomic` inside +`LocationStateStore`. The two relevant fields are: + +- `failover_overrides: HashMap` + — used by PPAF (single-master writes). +- `circuit_breaker_overrides: HashMap` + — used by PPCB. + +Both maps are populated **lazily** on first failure for a given +`(PK-range, region)` pair, and entries are removed during failback. With +no failures observed, both maps have zero heap footprint. + +### 2.3 Why measure now + +Production users running large containers (~80k physical partitions) +have asked for memory-cost guidance: + +- "What does enabling PPCB cost in steady state?" +- "What does enabling PPCB cost in worst case?" +- "Is the overhead a function of partition count, region count, or + both?" + +This study answers all three with measured numbers. + +--- + +## 3. Methodology + +### 3.1 What we measure + +Two heap traces are captured, identical in every aspect **except** the +PPCB flag and the resulting populated state: + +- **Baseline trace** — `circuit_breaker_option_enabled = false`. Driver + `mark_partition_unavailable` short-circuits on the + `is_eligible_for_ppcb` check, so `circuit_breaker_overrides` stays + empty. +- **Enabled trace** — `circuit_breaker_option_enabled = true`. The + example synthesizes the steady state the driver would reach after + every partition has tripped past threshold and PPCB has advanced past + K failed regions (described in §4.4 below). + +For each mode we report: + +- Total bytes / blocks allocated over the run lifetime. +- **Peak live heap** (`t-gmax`) — bytes and blocks held simultaneously + at the worst moment of the run. +- **Leak count** (`t-end`) — bytes and blocks still alive at process + exit. +- A program-point (PP) breakdown attributing every live byte at peak to + a specific call site. + +### 3.2 Tooling + +- **DHAT** (`dhat-rs` crate, version 0.3.x) — a Rust port of Valgrind + DHAT. Replaces the global allocator with a tracking shim that records + every `alloc`/`dealloc` along with a stack trace, then writes a + `*.json` trace file at process exit. The trace is loadable in the + DHAT viewer (`dh_view.html`) for interactive analysis. +- **Build profile**: `--release`. Debug-mode allocations are not + representative — over-reservation, no SSO, missing inlining all + distort the picture. + +### 3.3 Why DHAT vs. other tools + +DHAT was chosen because: + +1. It runs in-process with no kernel/PT support required (works on + Windows, where this measurement was collected). +2. It tracks **live blocks** at peak, not just allocation totals — this + is exactly what we need to evaluate steady-state cost. +3. It captures full stack traces per allocation, which lets us attribute + bytes to specific data structures (HashMap backing vs. HashSet + backing vs. inline strings), not just per-function totals. + +Alternative options considered: `jemalloc` `MALLOC_STATS_PRINT` +(coarser, no stack traces); manual instrumentation via +`#[global_allocator]` (custom code, less proven); Valgrind massif +(unavailable on Windows). + +--- + +## 4. Test Harness + +### 4.1 Crate location + +The benchmark and example live in: + +``` +sdk/cosmos/azure_data_cosmos_benchmarks/ +├── benches/ +│ ├── point_read.rs (existing) +│ └── pk_range_memory.rs (existing) +└── examples/ + ├── pk_range_dhat.rs (existing) + └── ppcb_state_dhat.rs (NEW — this study) +``` + +### 4.2 Required-features gating + +The DHAT example is gated behind a `dhat-heap` Cargo feature so the +profiler crate is **not** in the regular benchmark dependency graph. The +relevant `Cargo.toml` block: + +```toml +[[example]] +name = "ppcb_state_dhat" +required-features = ["dhat-heap"] + +[features] +dhat-heap = ["dep:dhat"] + +[dependencies] +azure_data_cosmos_driver = { path = "../azure_data_cosmos_driver", features = [ + "__internal_testing", +] } +dhat = { workspace = true, optional = true } +``` + +### 4.3 Driver-side type re-exports + +PPCB's data structures are crate-private in production +(`pub(crate) mod partition_endpoint_state`). The benchmark accesses them +through the existing `__internal_testing` re-export pattern documented +in `azure_data_cosmos_driver/src/testing.rs`: + +```rust +// In azure_data_cosmos_driver/src/testing.rs (only compiled when +// __internal_testing feature is enabled). +pub use crate::driver::routing::endpoint::CosmosEndpoint; +pub use crate::driver::routing::partition_endpoint_state::{ + HealthStatus, PartitionEndpointState, PartitionFailoverConfig, + PartitionFailoverEntry, +}; +pub use crate::driver::routing::partition_key_range_id::PartitionKeyRangeId; +``` + +This change keeps the production API surface untouched: the underlying +modules remain `pub(crate)`, so external callers can only reach these +types via the unstable `crate::testing::*` namespace under the explicit +opt-in feature flag. + +### 4.4 Steady-state synthesis + +A faithful "drive the workload through `mark_partition_unavailable`" +benchmark would be O(N²): the function clones the entire +`PartitionEndpointState` on every call (it is a CAS-pattern pure +function). For 80k entries that is hundreds of millions of clones, +dominating runtime without changing the steady-state heap shape. + +The example takes a shortcut: it directly inserts pre-built +`PartitionFailoverEntry` values into the `circuit_breaker_overrides` +map, then drops the state. The **steady-state heap shape** the profiler +captures is **identical** to what the driver would hold after threshold +has tripped on every partition and PPCB has advanced past K regions: + +- `current_endpoint` = `endpoints[K]` (first non-failed region). +- `first_failed_endpoint` = `endpoints[0]`. +- `failed_endpoints` = `endpoints[..K]`. +- Counters set just past the trip threshold. +- `health_status = Unhealthy`. + +This is documented prominently at the top of `ppcb_state_dhat.rs`. + +--- + +## 5. Workload Parameters + +| Parameter | Default | Env-var override | Used here | +|---|---:|---|---:| +| `PPCB_NUM_PARTITIONS` | 80,000 | `PPCB_NUM_PARTITIONS=N` | 80,000 | +| `PPCB_NUM_FAILED_REGIONS` | 2 | `PPCB_NUM_FAILED_REGIONS=K` | 2 | +| `TOTAL_REGIONS` (compile-time) | 4 | — | 4 | + +**Rationale for defaults:** + +- 80k partitions ≈ a "very large" Cosmos account. Most production + workloads are an order of magnitude smaller; the value was chosen as a + realistic upper bound. +- K = 2 failed regions per partition = a meaningful storm. Single-region + failures are common and hit `K = 1`; a coordinated outage taking out + two regions is the realistic worst case before the driver simply + returns errors. +- `TOTAL_REGIONS = 4` ensures `current_endpoint` always points to a + region not in `failed_endpoints`, matching the driver's + `try_move_next_endpoint` post-state. + +**Type sizes (release, x86_64-pc-windows-msvc):** + +| Type | Bytes | +|---|---:| +| `PartitionEndpointState` | 168 | +| `PartitionFailoverEntry` | 128 | +| `PartitionFailoverConfig` | 64 | +| `PartitionKeyRangeId` | 24 | +| `CosmosEndpoint` | 8 (Arc-backed) | + +These are stack sizes; heap allocations attached to each are +characterized below. + +--- + +## 6.

Indicates these entries each + live for ~150 µs in this benchmark, dominated by main-loop + bookkeeping. + +These numbers have **no implication for production** — the driver does +not build 80k entries in a single tight loop in practice. + +--- + +## 7. Per-Allocation Decomposition — Disabled Baseline + +The 13 live blocks at peak are entirely accounted for by the 4 account +endpoints + a single small empty HashMap. Every heap block in this mode +is direct overhead of the `CosmosEndpoint` model, not PPCB. + +| PP | Live bytes | Live blocks | Origin (innermost → outermost frame) | What it is | +|---:|---:|---:|---|---| +| 3 | 928 | 4 | `EndpointKey::try_from(&Url)` ← `CosmosEndpoint::global` | The 4 account endpoints' `EndpointKey` Arc payloads (host:port string + Arc header) | +| 4 | 224 | 4 | `url::ParseOptions::parse` | The 4 `Url` internal buffers | +| 5 | 196 | 4 | `String` push ← `CosmosEndpoint::global` | Per-endpoint string payload inside the `EndpointKey` | +| 6 | 32 | 1 | `hashbrown::reserve_rehash` | Initial small `HashMap` backing (likely `unavailable_endpoints` field) | +| **Total** | **1,380** | **13** | | | + +Both `circuit_breaker_overrides` and `failover_overrides` are +**zero-block** — `HashMap::new()` does not allocate until first insert. +This confirms the structural claim that PPCB-on with no failures is +indistinguishable from PPCB-off in terms of heap footprint. + +--- + +## 8.

The logical per-entry payload is ~152 B (24 B `PartitionKeyRangeId` + 128 B inline `PartitionFailoverEntry`), but the measured 20,054,032 B allocation also includes hashbrown table metadata (ctrl bytes, alignment, padding), so `24 + 128` is the logical payload size rather than the actual slot footprint. | +| **8** | **4,160,000** | **16.91 %** | **80,000** | `RawTable::with_capacity_in` | **Per-entry `failed_endpoints: HashSet` backing.** 52 B / entry — one tiny hashbrown table per partition holding 2 × 8 B Arc pointers + bucket overhead. | +| **7** | **388,890** | **1.58 %** | **80,000** | `String` clone (collapsed symbol shows up as `ActivityId::from_str` because that crate-internal helper sits at the same return address as the cloned-in `String` in the release binary) | **Per-entry `PartitionKeyRangeId` String.** Avg 4.86 B/entry — short numeric ids `"0".."79999"`. | +| 3 | 928 | 0.004 % | 4 | (carryover) | EndpointKey Arc payloads | +| 4, 5, 6, 10 | 656 | < 0.01 % | 13 | (carryover) | Url, EndpointKey strings, empty HashMap | +| **Total live at peak** | **24,604,302** | **100 %** | **160,014** | | | + +### 8.1 Transient allocations (alloc-and-free; not at peak) + +These show up in the lifetime totals but were freed before `t-gmax`: + +- **PP4 transient** — 388,890 B / 80,000 blocks of `i.to_string()` + scratch in the example's loop, cloned into the `PartitionKeyRangeId` + by `from_str` and immediately discarded. Doubles allocator pressure + during the buildup even though it costs nothing at peak. Benchmark + artifact — production code constructs `PartitionKeyRangeId` from + header-parsed strings via a different path. + +### 8.2 The single 20 MiB allocation + +PP9 — a single 20,054,032-byte allocation — is the most striking +feature of the enabled trace. This is hashbrown's main HashMap backing +array, sized to `next_power_of_two(80_000) = 131_072` slots. Two +implications: + +1. The driver carries **~50 % headroom on the main HashMap "for + free"** — no further allocation until partition count crosses + ~115k. At that point hashbrown will rehash to 262,144 slots, + doubling this single allocation to ~40 MiB. +2. This is one **contiguous** allocation. Under fragmentation pressure + the allocator may fail to find a contiguous 20 MiB slot even when + total free memory is ample. See §11.1 for mitigation. + +--- + +## 9. Per-Entry Cost Model + +For PPCB-on at K = 2 failed regions per partition: + +| Component | Bytes/entry | Blocks/entry | Where it lives | +|---|---:|---:|---| +| Main HashMap slot (key + inline value) | **250.7** | shared (1 block for whole map) | inline in PP9 | +| `failed_endpoints: HashSet` backing | **52.0** | 1 (PP8) | per entry | +| `PartitionKeyRangeId` String | **4.86** | 1 (PP7) | per entry | +| **Total live per entry** | **~307.6** | **2** | | + +Cross-checks: + +- 24,604,302 / 80,000 = **307.55 B/entry** ✓ +- 2 × 80,000 + 14 baseline blocks = **160,014 blocks** ✓ + +### 9.1 Scaling projections + +Peak heap is approximately **`B(N) ≈ 308 × N + 1.4 KB` bytes** (the +1.4 KB baseline is the disabled-mode endpoint state) up to the next +hashbrown power-of-2 boundary, where the main HashMap allocation +doubles.

For K ≤ 4 (the realistic case — Cosmos accounts +rarely have more than 4 regions), per-entry cost stays in the ~300 B +band. + +--- + +## 10. Findings + +### 10.1 PPCB-on baseline is free + +`circuit_breaker_overrides` and `failover_overrides` are +zero-allocation when empty. There is no PPCB tax for accounts that +never experience partition failures. This is the single most +operationally important finding for users debating whether to enable +PPCB by default. + +### 10.2 Worst-case heap is bounded and modest + +23.5 MiB at 80,000 fully-tripped partitions is a small fraction of any +realistic process budget. On a 4 GB driver process this is < 0.6 % of +total memory. + +### 10.3 The 20 MiB single allocation is the dominant cost + +PP9 (the main HashMap backing) is ~81.5 % of peak heap and is a single +contiguous allocation. This is unavoidable given the +`HashMap` choice with +inline values. + +### 10.4 Block-count pressure scales linearly with partition count + +Each tripped partition costs **2 heap blocks**: one for the +`PartitionKeyRangeId` String, one for the per-entry `failed_endpoints` +HashSet table. At 80k partitions that's 160k allocator round-trips +during a partition-event storm. + +### 10.5 The per-entry HashSet is over-engineered + +`failed_endpoints` is a `HashSet` but the realistic +upper bound is `K ≤ 4` (one per account region). Paying for a hashbrown +table per partition to hold 2 elements is structurally wasteful — it's +~52 B and 1 heap block per entry to hold ~16 B of payload. + +### 10.6 No leaks + +Both traces show clean teardown. `Drop` for `PartitionEndpointState` +correctly clears every nested map and set. + +### 10.7 PartitionKeyRangeId is small but loud + +The 80k tiny `PartitionKeyRangeId` Strings consume only 1.6 % of bytes +but **50 % of the per-entry block count**. They are short numeric ids +that could trivially live inline. + +--- + +## 11. Recommendations + +Listed in descending order of impact / leverage. + +### 11.1 (Recommended) Replace `failed_endpoints` HashSet with a SmallVec + +**Change:** + +```rust +// In partition_endpoint_state.rs +pub struct PartitionFailoverEntry { + // ... + pub failed_endpoints: smallvec::SmallVec<[CosmosEndpoint; 4]>, + // (or even [Option; 4] if you prefer no extra dep) +} +``` + +**Impact:** + +- Eliminates **80,000 of 160,014 heap blocks** (50 % reduction in + block-count pressure at 80k partitions). +- Saves **~3.5 MiB at peak** (4.16 MB → ~640 KB inline in the main + HashMap slot). +- Lookup goes from `O(1)` hash to `O(K)` linear scan over ≤ 4 + Arc-pointer comparisons — empirically faster than a hash for K ≤ 4. + +**Risk:** Low. `SmallVec` is well-tested. The semantic change is +transparent: `contains()`, `insert()`, `iter()` are all available. + +**Effort:** Single struct field change + ~20-line updates in the call +sites (`mark_partition_unavailable`, `try_move_next_endpoint`). + +### 11.2 (Optional) Inline-store small `PartitionKeyRangeId` strings + +**Change:** Replace `String` with `compact_str::CompactString` in +`PartitionKeyRangeId`. Strings ≤ 24 B store inline; production PK range +ids are short numeric strings. + +**Impact:** + +- Eliminates **80,000 of remaining 80,000 per-entry heap blocks** (no + per-entry `String` allocation). +- Saves ~390 KB at peak. + +**Risk:** Low. `CompactString` is `From` / `From<&str>` and +implements all the same traits. New dependency though — weigh that +against the savings. + +**Effort:** Single newtype field change. + +### 11.3 (Defer) Consider boxing the HashMap value + +**Change:** + +```rust +pub circuit_breaker_overrides: + HashMap>, +``` + +**Impact:** + +- Shrinks the main HashMap allocation from ~20 MiB to ~4 MiB at 80k + entries (slot becomes 24 B key + 8 B Box pointer = 32 B). +- Adds 80k Box allocations (~10.2 MiB) — net memory roughly the same. +- **Removes the single contiguous 20 MiB allocation**, which is the + real win: under fragmentation pressure a 20 MiB contiguous request + may fail; 80k × 128 B requests almost certainly will not. +- Adds one pointer indirection per access — negligible cost on the + routing hot path which is already an HashMap lookup. + +**Risk:** Medium — touches a perf-sensitive path. Only worth it if +profiling under fragmented allocators shows the contiguous allocation +to be a problem. + +**Effort:** Single field change + minor borrow updates. + +### 11.4 Combined projection + +If 11.1 + 11.2 are both applied: + +| Metric | Before | After (projected) | Change | +|---|---:|---:|---:| +| Peak live heap | 24,604,302 B | ~20,640,000 B | −16 % | +| Peak live blocks | 160,014 | **~14** | **−99.99 %** | +| Bytes per entry | 308 | ~258 | −16 % | +| Blocks per entry | 2 | **0** | — | + +The block-count win is qualitatively much bigger than the byte-count +win — that is where allocator-contention improvements would surface +under burst load. + +--- + +## 12. Risk and Operational Implications + +### 12.1 Memory budgeting for fleet operators + +For an operator deploying the Cosmos Rust driver at scale: + +- **Per-process worst-case PPCB overhead**: ~308 B × N partitions + + 1.4 KB baseline. +- For typical N ≤ 1,000 partitions per container: < 320 KB. Negligible. +- For "very large" N = 80,000 partitions: ~24 MiB. Still small. +- For "extreme" N = 1,000,000 partitions: ~310 MiB extrapolated. Worth + budgeting for. + +These numbers are upper bounds — they assume **every partition is +tripped**, which is unusual outside a coordinated regional event. + +### 12.2 Allocator pressure during outages + +A regional outage that trips PPCB on 80k partitions in a short window +will trigger ~240k allocations (entries + transient) in that window. +At ~1 µs per allocation on modern systems this is well under 250 ms of +allocator time amortized across worker threads — not a bottleneck. + +### 12.3 Cleanup behavior + +The trace shows zero leaked blocks at process exit — `Drop` is +implemented correctly. The failback loop (described in +`PARTITION_LEVEL_FAILOVER_SPEC.md`) further drains entries during +recovery, so steady-state heap during normal operation will be far +below the worst-case measured here. + +### 12.4 What this study does not cover + +- **Wall-clock latency impact of PPCB lookups** on the routing hot + path. Out of scope; benchmark via the Criterion `point_read` bench + with PPCB-laden state if needed. +- **CPU cost of the failback loop** at high entry counts. The sweep is + O(N) over `circuit_breaker_overrides` and runs every + `failback_sweep_interval` (default 5 min) — at N = 80k this is a + microsecond-scale scan, but a dedicated benchmark would confirm. +- **Concurrent-mutator stress.** The CAS-clone pattern in + `mark_partition_unavailable` produces transient O(N) clones during + the swap. Contention behavior under burst load is not measured here. + +--- + +## 13. Caveats and Methodology Notes + +### 13.1 Steady-state synthesis (not full pipeline) + +The benchmark direct-inserts pre-built `PartitionFailoverEntry` values +rather than driving the workload through the full pipeline. This is +intentional — `mark_partition_unavailable` clones the entire state on +every call, so a faithful 80k-iteration walk would be O(N²) in time +without changing the steady-state heap shape. The captured **heap +layout** is identical; the **buildup-time allocator traffic** is +slightly understated (CAS-pattern cloning would add transient +~24 MiB-per-step allocation churn that frees immediately). + +### 13.2 Symbolicator collapsing in the trace + +The DHAT trace's `ftbl` shows one frame as +`ActivityId::from_str` even though the call originates from +`PartitionKeyRangeId::from_str` in the example. This is a Windows PDB +symbol-deduplication artefact — both functions compile to the same +return-address slot in the release binary. The PP attribution by +**bytes / blocks / count** is correct; only the displayed function +name is misleading. We confirmed by cross-referencing `tl` (lifetime +sum) and the bytes/block ratio against the source. + +### 13.3 hashbrown over-reservation + +Both the main HashMap (PP9) and the per-entry HashSets (PP8) are sized +by hashbrown to the next power of two.

The real +driver goes through `apply_partition`'s clone-modify-CAS, which can +trigger an additional hashbrown rehash mid-build and leaves the final +map at the same 256-slot capacity but with slightly more residual +bucket overhead. Both numbers agree at the **structural** level — 2 +allocations per "entry on average", inline values, zero per-entry +heap blocks. + +The hashbrown rounding artifact is an N-dependent effect, not a +real-vs-synth effect: at N = 80k (§15) the over-reservation factor +is small (131,072 / 80,000 = 1.64×) and bytes-per-entry settled at +237 B; at N = 115 it is large (256 / 115 = 2.23×) so bytes-per-entry +rises to ~340–420 B. This matches the §13.3 caveat +("real-world entry counts that sit just below or just above a +power-of-2 boundary will show meaningful discontinuities in +per-entry cost"). + +### 16.7 Cross-check vs. §15.7 scaling projection + +The §15.7 projection said N = 100 should land at ~30 KB of PPCB cost +on top of baseline. The measured Δ at N = 115 is **48,185 B = 47 KB** — +about 50 % higher than projected. The discrepancy is fully explained +by the projection's linear extrapolation from the 237 B/entry slope +measured at N = 80k; at small N the hashbrown over-reservation +dominates per-entry cost (256 reserved slots is essentially fixed +overhead for any N in 64..192). The slope-based projection becomes +accurate again as N approaches the next power-of-2 boundary. + +In absolute terms this is still trivial — **47 KB** of additional +heap on a fully-tripped 115-partition account, with **+28 heap +blocks** total. PPCB-on for this account size has no operational +cost worth worrying about. + +### 16.8 Findings (real-account validation) + +1. **No allocation surprises.** Every PPCB-attributable allocation + is accounted for by the single `circuit_breaker_overrides` + HashMap, exactly as §15 predicted. No hidden per-entry heap + blocks materialized once the driver was real instead of stubbed. +2. **v2's `SmallVec` + `CompactString` win holds end-to-end.** Per-entry + blocks remain at 0 (amortized inside the HashMap buckets), even + when the entries flow through the real `apply_partition` CAS path. +3. **Hashbrown over-reservation dominates per-entry cost at small N.** + At N = 115 the reserved capacity is 256 slots, so per-entry bytes + are ~2× the asymptotic number. This is structural, not a defect. +4. **The synthesized harness is faithful for steady-state heap shape.** + The 25 % discrepancy in per-entry bytes is fully attributable to + CAS rehash timing, not to anything the synth harness misses about + the data layout itself. For relative comparisons (v1 vs. v2, K = 2 + vs. K = 4, etc.) the synth harness remains accurate. + +### 16.9 Recommendations + +None.

Simulated v1 vs v2 at 1k and 10k partitions + +§16 and §17 measured the real INT account at its natural size of N = 115 +partitions, the only size readily available to us without provisioning +another container at significant cost. To cover the operationally +interesting range of N = 1,000 and N = 10,000 partitions we use the +**existing synthesized harness** (`examples/ppcb_state_dhat.rs`) on the +v1 driver build, fit a deterministic per-allocation model to the v1 +measurements, and use that model to predict v2 numbers.
