# 0.5.0
## Wait-Free Data Plane Decoupling & Idle Power Zeroing (v0.5.0)

In v0.5.0, the core data plane was entirely decoupled into `CoreCache`, enabling a spin-lock fallback (`StaticDualCache`) for `no_std` environments to completely eliminate idle power consumption, while preserving the lock-free background `Daemon` for `std` wait-free throughput.

### 1. Wait-Free vs Spin-Lock Baseline

The architectural separation yields two distinct performance envelopes depending on the required environment:

- **DualCacheFF (`std` / Wait-Free + Daemon)**: Preserves the maximum concurrency ceiling, effortlessly sustaining **55,000,000 - 80,000,000+ ops/sec** under intense highly-contended multi-threaded workloads, limited only by physical memory bus bandwidth.
- **StaticDualCache (`no_std` / SpinLock + Synchronous)**: Resolves the 100% idle CPU problem by eliminating background threads. It delivers a highly respectable **11,000,000 - 14,000,000 ops/sec** throughput. The deterministic short-duration spinlock ensures safety without OS mutex overhead.

### 2. General Workload Throughput & Hit Rate

Test Configuration: `OPS_PER_BENCH = 50,000,000`, 4 threads, Capacity = 1,048,576.

| Workload | Throughput (DualCacheFF) | Hit Rate | 
|----------|--------------------------|----------|
| **Uniform** | ~55,000,000 ops/s | ~7.00% |
| **Zipf (1.0)** | ~63,000,000 ops/s | ~78.45% | 
| **Scan** | ~83,000,000 ops/s | ~6.00% |
| **Mixed** | ~68,000,000 ops/s | ~33.00% |

*(Note: Wait-free frontend throughput remains identical to v0.4.1, proving the zero-cost abstraction of `CoreCache` decoupling).*

# 0.4.0
## Intelligent Warmup & Adaptive Routing (v0.4.0)

With the introduction of the TLS-based Intelligent Warmup in v0.4.0, the DualCacheFF engine now features a "Blackjack" card-counting mechanism per thread to gauge cache hit heat dynamically. This enables the cache to adaptively trigger "Fast Pass" for hot items during cold starts, bypassing standard probation without risking lock contention or queue overflows.

### 1. Snapshot Fast Pass vs Intelligent Normal Warmup (Zipf 1.1)

Test Configuration: `TOTAL_OPS = 50,000,000`, 4 threads, Capacity = 1,048,576. 

The `Normal Insert Baseline` now automatically benefits from the internal Intelligent Warmup, yielding exceptional cold start performance even without manual external sampling. 

#### 1.1 10,000 Operations Sampled
Found ~4038 unique hot keys.

[Scenario A] Normal Insert Baseline (Self-Adaptive, No External Warmup)
  - Initial Stage (0 - 1M ops): Hit Rate: **61.08%** | Throughput: **84.25M ops/s**
  - Growth Stage (1M - 10M ops): Hit Rate: **81.32%** | Throughput: **100.5M ops/s**
  - Plateau Stage (10M+ ops): Hit Rate: **83.20%** | Throughput: **111.4M ops/s**

[Scenario B] Snapshot Fast Pass (Injecting 4038 Hot Keys)
  (Fast Pass Warmup took 638µs)
  - Initial Stage (0 - 1M ops): Hit Rate: **72.70%** (+11.62%) | Throughput: **90.13M ops/s**
  - Growth Stage (1M - 10M ops): Hit Rate: **84.59%** (+3.28%) | Throughput: **94.34M ops/s**
  - Plateau Stage (10M+ ops): Hit Rate: **85.53%** (+2.32%) | Throughput: **91.84M ops/s**

**Analysis:**
The Intelligent Warmup natively elevates the system's baseline hit rate. For scenarios requiring extreme initial hit-rate stability (e.g. recovering from a massive node crash), explicitly injecting ~10,000 sampled items provides an instant +11.6% boost to cold-start hit rate.

# 0.2.1-aligned
## Cache System Performance Aligned Comparative Analysis (v0.2.1 Aligned)

Following the audit of version 0.2.1, this benchmark run has resolved the physical capacity and warmup symmetry imbalances. The key changes are:
1. **Physical Capacity Alignment**: Dynamic actual physical capacity calculated via `Config::with_memory_budget` is used to configure Moka (`max_capacity`) and TinyUFO (`TinyUfo::new`).
2. **Warmup Symmetry**: Moka's `run_pending_tasks()` and `std::thread::sleep(Duration::from_millis(50))` are invoked in both warmup and execution phases to ensure Moka has finished indexing and flushing.
3. **Rigorous Key Distribution**: All caches use identical keys (Uniform, Zipf, Mixed, Scan) to evaluate their policies strictly.

This aligned audit proves that DualCacheFF's wait-free architecture still completely dominates standard caches in throughput, tail latency, and memory utilization under strict, fair, and unbiased comparison conditions.

| TinyUFO | 3,548,310 | 33.33% | 33,335,816 |
| Moka | 1,401,070 | 33.17% | 33,417,408 |

**Throughput Analysis:**
* **Major Breakthrough**: Compared to the previous v0.2.0 release, v0.2.1 shows a massive performance gain under the Zipf workload, with throughput surging from 60.78M to **69.75M ops/s (+14.7%)**.
* **Root Cause Analysis**: This is powered directly by the **Progressive Spin-then-Yield** optimization in `OneshotAck::wait()` and `LossyQueue::send_blocking()`. Under extreme contention, threads spin up to 100 times before gracefully yielding via `std::thread::yield_now()`, avoiding 100% core busy-waiting. This releases substantial CPU scheduling windows back to the background `Daemon` thread, dramatically accelerating TLS buffer flushing and index processing.

| **Max Latency** | **0.05 ms (53.6 μs)** | 1.94 ms | 0.10 ms |

**Latency Analysis:**
* **Ultra-Low and Deterministic**: The P99 latency remains at an incredible **333 ns**, with the absolute worst-case tail latency strictly capped below **53.6 μs**. This represents a multifold speedup over both Moka and TinyUFO, making it ideal for latency-sensitive financial and real-time systems.

### Analysis & Insights

* **Hit Rate Restoration**:
  * **The Problem in Previous Releases**: Prior to introducing ID recycling and the cold-start L1 filter bypass, the cache hit rate under heavy concurrent read/write workloads dropped to **70.8% - 74.6%**, which fell behind both Moka (80.5%) and TinyUFO (79.7%).
  * **Optimized Performance**: With the implementation of dynamic thread ID recycling and the cold-start bypass in v0.2.1, the cache hit rate surged to **84.5% - 84.7%**. This not only fully restored performance but **outperformed Moka by ~4.0%** and **TinyUFO by ~4.9%** under the exact same Zipf skewed workload!
* **Wait-Free Throughput Dominance**:
  * DualCacheFF sustained an extreme wait-free throughput of **93M - 103M ops/s** under different read/write ratios, maintaining absolute dominance.
  * Compared to Moka (**1.8M - 4.4M ops/s**), DualCacheFF is **37x to 50x faster**!
  * Compared to TinyUFO (**5.6M - 12.2M ops/s**), DualCacheFF is **7.3x to 16x faster**!
* **Under the Hood Physical Improvements**:
  * **Dynamic Thread ID Recycling (`IdAllocator` & `ThreadIdGuard`)**: Resolves the monotonic thread ID overflow bug under concurrent environments where threads are repeatedly spawned and destroyed. ID recycling guarantees that active thread IDs stay strictly within `config.threads`, allowing L1 admission and telemetry to function at 100% capacity.
  * **Cold-Start L1 Bypass & Update Lookup**: Resolves the L1 Probation Filter incorrectly dropping high-frequency update elements during initial fill and in-place updates, maximizing spatial locality and promoting cache heat instantly.

### Use Case Recommendations

1. **High-Throughput, Low-Latency Applications (e.g., ad serving, recommendation ranking)**  
   → **DualCacheFF**: 1 to 2 orders of magnitude higher throughput, P99 latency <300ns.
2. **Strictly Memory-Constrained Environments (e.g., embedded devices, edge nodes)**  
   → **TinyUFO**: Smallest footprint under CAPEX constraints, combined with decent hit rates and moderate latency.
3. **Maximizing Hit Rates When Throughput Is Not a Constraint**  
   → **Moka**: Slightly higher hit rates under Zipf and Mixed patterns, but has high tail latency (P99.9 at 234μs).
4. **Scenarios to Avoid**  
   - **Moka** is not suitable for high-concurrency, low-latency applications (throughput <10M ops/s, significant P99 jitter).
   - **TinyUFO** presents tail-latency spike risks (up to 13.7ms), making it unsuitable for hard real-time systems.

> **Overall Recommendation**: Unless memory is extremely constrained, **DualCacheFF** is the highest-performing general choice. For strict memory limits, **TinyUFO** is preferred at the cost of some throughput.
