Add M1's gate benchmark: ddx's matmul gradient with einfold on and off - #49
Adds benchmarks/m1-gate, M1's gate benchmark. It's a standalone crate outside einfold's workspace, so einfold doesn't depend on ddx, an XQL Systems project for automatic differentiation of SQL queries. It runs ddx's matmul gradient program end to end, with einfold off and installed, on a multi-threaded runtime. It checks that the gradients agree within derived bounds, and that einfold's are the same bits on one thread as on all. It times ddx's checks and each step, over four rounds that alternate which configuration runs first. It exits with an error when the speedup at n = 50,000 is below the gate's 4×.
Result at n = 50,000 (i7-8700, DataFusion 55.2, ddx 921aef1, idle machine): 377 ms with einfold off, 95 ms on, 3.98×, just below M1's 4× gate. An earlier measurement, before the fixes for #60–#62 and with each configuration timed in one block, gave 4.0–4.1×. The README has each step. einfold runs each whole gradient step, joined back to its table, as one fold: Ā goes from 262 ms to 16. More than half of what remains is ddx's own work outside the folds: its key check (33 ms) and an elementwise step (17 ms). The three folds take 40 ms between them.
For scale: JAX takes 1.6 ms for the same gradient on this machine.
Decisions to review
Merged below the gate. The benchmark records the near miss rather than claiming a pass. Closing the rest is mostly outside the folds: ddx's key check duplicates einfold's domain check.
No actionable comments were generated in the recent review.

Walkthrough
This change adds a standalone Rust benchmark for ddx’s matmul-gradient program. It compares runs with einfold disabled and enabled, checks gradient agreement and thread consistency, and reports timings. At 50,000 rows, the benchmark exits with status 1 if speedup is below 4×.
Changes: M1 end-to-end benchmark
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Standalone crate and benchmark setup benchmarks/m1-gate/Cargo.lock.license, benchmarks/m1-gate/Cargo.toml, benchmarks/m1-gate/README.md
Adds an unpublished Rust 2021 crate with pinned benchmark dependencies. The README documents setup, invocation, and measured results.
Adds timing helpers, floating-point tolerance calculations, and measurement of the gradient program and its inputs.
Gradient comparison and speedup gate benchmarks/m1-gate/src/main.rs
Compares enabled and disabled gradients, checks single-threaded and multithreaded consistency, reports timings, and applies the 4× gate at 50,000 rows.
xqlsystems/einfold#42: Defines the fold shapes and enabled-versus-host comparison used by this benchmark.
xqlsystems/einfold#55: Refines the planner and executor APIs invoked by the benchmark.
Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 86f48
The benchmark is ready to merge; its measurement order, correctness checks, and 4× gate match the documented behavior.
Security architecture risk: Low · up to cccb3
The integration is confined to an explicitly invoked, non-published benchmark. Each measurement receives a fresh session, and inputs are operator-supplied row counts rather than service requests. No security concern was established. Repeated-execution and cleanup behavior inside the external ddx engine remains unverified.
Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The demonstrated exposure is the explicitly invoked benchmark process and its local resource consumption. The inspected changes do not establish propagation into a production service, tenant boundary, persistent data store, or deployment control plane.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Disabled, enabled, and single-partition measurements receive distinct SessionContexts. Returned measurements contain owned timing and matrix data rather than session handles, preserving visible ownership separation between configurations.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — Visible failures terminate local execution through unwraps, assertions, or the gate's exit status. No persistent recovery mechanism is introduced. Whether repeated engine calls replace generated state safely, and what cleanup occurs after interruption, cannot be established without the external ddx implementation.

Explanation
The description supplies a clear purpose, the benchmark design, concrete measured results (377 ms off, 95 ms on, 3.98x at n = 50,000, below the 4x gate), a per-step breakdown with a pointer to the README, and a decision note about merging below the gate. The template's required sections are "What and why" and "How it is tested". "What and why" is well covered. "How it is tested" is only partly covered: it describes the run procedure and result, but does not list the test or check commands, and does not describe unit or correctness test coverage beyond the benchmark itself. The "Closes #" line is empty, and the author does not link an issue, although the PR objectives indicate the work relates to PR #49. The description also omits the AGENTS.md items the template mentions (identity line, design review, which invariants the tests check). Those are non-critical for mostly complete. The SPDX header is part of the template but the PR adds it as a file-level change, so its absence from the description is not a defect.

On the gate's correctness clause, "ddx's gradients unchanged on the random-table property tests":
ddx's random-table soak barely exercises einfold. I ran ddx's own query-AD soak (ad_simulation.rs :: soak_query_ad, ddx e543eb2) from a scratch clone, with einfold_datafusion::install in its sessions (fresh_ctx and ctx_with_rules), against this stack. It passed: 665 cases and 0 failures with einfold, 671 and 0 without, ten minutes each. But with a temporary counter in EinFoldPlanner, detection fired 0 times in 106 cases. The soak's losses are maps, ranks, softmaxes, semi-joins and grouped sums over one table, and their gradient steps don't take the shapes M1 detects. So that clause currently passes without testing anything. Two ways to make it bite:
ddx's generator gains a contraction primitive, SUM(x.v * w.v) … JOIN … GROUP BY, of which the gradient is the joined-back shape Detect a fold joined back to its domain, checking its keys as it runs #52 detects. That's ddx's code, so it's a request for the ddx session, not something I've changed;
the gradient check is "within a relative 1e-12 of the largest value", the kind of ad hoc tolerance lessons.md warns about. The bound 2·(n − 1)·u·Σ|terms| is cheap here: n is 16 or 50,000, and Σ|terms| is the same query over |val|;
the gate's third clause, "the same bits across thread counts", isn't checked by the benchmark. Running measure once more at target_partitions = 1 and comparing gradient bits would close it.
…#52)
🪭 Claude (einfold)
Stacked on #48, and under #49 (M1's gate benchmark). The maintainer
chose to have einfold close the gap to M1's gate itself, rather than
wait on xqlsystems/ddx#208, so ddx and einfold stay siblings. ddx is an
XQL Systems project for automatic differentiation of SQL queries.
**The shape.** Each of ddx's gradient steps is a fold joined back to the
table being differentiated, grouped again by that table's keys, then
left-joined from it:
```sql
SELECT d.<columns>, s.v
FROM d LEFT JOIN (
SELECT d2.<keys>, SUM(CASE WHEN d2.v IS NULL THEN NULL ELSE f.v END) AS v
FROM d d2 JOIN (<a fold>) f ON d2.<key> = f.<output> AND …
GROUP BY d2.<keys>
) s ON d.<key> = s.<key> AND …
```
When no two rows of `d` reach one of the fold's groups, the second
`GROUP BY` holds one row per group, and this is the fold with `d` as its
domain. Each row of `d` then gets `0.0 + e` on itself and its group's
value, which is what `SUM` of one value computes. `DetectFolds` now
finds the shape, in `join_back.rs`. Its conditions:
- `d2` is `d` under other names, compared through aliases, renames and
which columns each scan reads;
- the inner join matches every one of the fold's outputs;
- the second `GROUP BY` and the left join use exactly those columns;
- the sum's argument is NULL wherever the fold's value is;
- the projection above reads none of the second `GROUP BY`'s keys;
- `=` in the left join doesn't sit outside `IS NOT DISTINCT FROM` in the
inner one.
**Uniqueness is checked at run time.** Whether `d`'s keys are unique is
known only when the query runs. So the node requires a unique domain
(`FoldNode::requiring_unique_domain`, shown as `+ unique domain` in
`EXPLAIN`), and `EinFoldExec` passes `Options::unique_domain` to the
dense algorithm. The kernel marks each output cell as the domain's rows
are placed, and declines on the second row to reach one. That's a pass
over the domain the dense path makes anyway. When it declines, the
host's own plan runs. So the shape is found only when a fallback exists
(`DetectFolds::default()`, which `install` uses).
**M1's gate, with this (#49):** ddx's `matmul` gradient at n = 50,000
takes 365 ms with einfold off and 117 ms on, **3.1–3.2×**, with the same
gradients. Ā goes from 247 ms to 22. That's still short of 4×. The rest
is:
- ddx's checks, 32 ms;
- an elementwise step, 18 ms;
- einfold's single-threaded passes around the arithmetic in its three
folds, 20 ms each, which the next pull request takes on.
About 450 non-test lines: `join_back.rs` is 340, half of it
documentation and conditions.
**Invariants tested.**
- `einfold-kernels/tests/kernels_vs_sql.rs`, new invariant 4: where the
dense path runs with a domain, the checked path declines whenever two
domain rows have one group's keys. Where it accepts, it gives the same
rows, bit for bit.
- `einfold-datafusion/tests/detect_vs_host.rs`: the same rows as
DataFusion without einfold, bit for bit. The fold joined back is found
exactly when expected, with a domain only when there is a fallback. Its
look-alikes keep the fold alone:
- a sum that isn't NULL with the value (`f.v * 2.0`, `COALESCE`);
- a filtered `d`;
- a projection reading the second `GROUP BY`'s keys;
- a second `GROUP BY` by other columns;
- `=` outside `IS NOT DISTINCT FROM`.
A second test, `folds_joined_back_check_their_domain`, draws only this
shape, over operands the dense path takes and a domain whose keys are
duplicated half the time. Both outcomes of the check run: dense in 80 of
300 cases and the host's plan in 94.
<!--

is itself a SUM that starts at 0.0 and is never -0.0

gate benchmark caught it. Scans now match by table name and schema

-->
**Fix from the fuzz soak (#65).** The regroup's `CASE` tests were
applied in a projection above the node, so when the uniqueness check
declined and the host's plan ran, they were applied a second time, and a
row of a duplicated key could get NULL where SQL gives its group's sum.
The node now computes the tests as a Boolean column of its domain and
makes its own values NULL where one holds, so the host's plan, when it
runs, is left alone. The tests now run on every row of the domain, so
they must be unable to fail. `detect_vs_host.rs` now draws the test from
three spellings, and the outer projection as ddx's, plain `s.v`, or
`COALESCE(s.v, 0.0)`. Fixes#60.

…er row (#53)
🪭 Claude (einfold)
Stacked on #52. This takes on the overhead around the dense algorithm's
arithmetic, which profiling found was most of each fold's time in M1's
gate benchmark (#49). ddx is an XQL Systems project for automatic
differentiation of SQL queries; the benchmark runs its `matmul` gradient
program end to end.
**What changed**
- **No concatenation.** `EinFoldExec` concatenated each operand into one
batch before the kernel ran: about 9 ms for `a`'s 800,000 rows, and 12
ms per gradient step with the cotangent. The kernels now take each input
as a `Relation` (its schema and batches). The dense algorithm places
each batch's rows straight into a dense matrix of `a`'s factors, which
also removes an indirection from the inner loop. The hash algorithm
concatenates for itself.
- **No division per row.** Building the output's key columns divided
each row's position, and looking up a domain row's value divided its
cell. Keys now come from a table per position, and a cell's existence is
spread once from its x position.
- **Fewer passes.** One pass over `a` places its rows, records which
positions they reach and whether each has a value, and checks
finiteness. One pass over each key column finds both its bounds.
- **A domain's batches in parallel.** Each batch's cells, then its rows,
are computed on the threads in turn. The uniqueness check stays one
sequential pass over the cells.
The order of additions is unchanged, so every result is bit for bit what
it was.
**M1's gate (#49), with this:** 365 ms with einfold off, about 97 ms on,
**3.7–3.8×**, short of 4×. `saved_0` takes 10 ms (was 20), and the
gradient steps take 17 and 16 ms (were 22 and 20). With einfold on, the
rest of the 97 ms is:
- ddx's own checks, 32 ms;
- an elementwise step, 18 ms;
- the three folds, about 43 ms between them.
About 220 non-test lines.
**Invariants tested.** `kernels_vs_sql.rs` is unchanged apart from
passing batches: the same rows as DataFusion's SQL, within float
summation's bound, with exactly SQL's NULLs, NaNs, infinities and signed
zeros. It also gives the same bits across arrival orders, batchings and
thread counts, and the unique-domain invariant from #52. Inputs now
reach the kernels in the random batches the test deals them, so batching
is exercised directly.

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **Improvements**
* Folding processes inputs supplied in multiple batches without
combining them all upfront, reducing memory pressure during execution.
* Dense folding supports batched inputs and handles sparse positions and
NULL values across batches.
* Domain batches are processed in parallel while retaining their
original order.
* **Bug Fixes**
* Folding falls back to an alternative processing path when certain
duplicate positions or dense-path requirements prevent dense processing,
helping preserve correct results.

…mns (#56)
🪭 Claude (einfold)
Stacked on #55. The last of the speedups that bring M1's gate past 4×
(#49, ddx's `matmul` gradient program at n = 50,000, end to end; ddx is
an XQL Systems project for automatic differentiation of SQL queries).
- **Positions are computed by column, in parallel.** Each batch's key
columns are read, and its rows' positions computed, a column at a time
in 32 bits. The compiler vectorizes that, and batches run in parallel. A
sequential pass then places the rows. Placing `a`'s 800,000 rows took
about 5 ms on one thread.
- **Blocks of columns too.** The output was split into blocks of 256
rows. ddx's Ā step has an output of 16 rows and 50,000 columns, so it
ran on one thread. Blocks now split columns as well. Each cell's terms
are still added in `z` order, so the bits are what they were.
- **A parallel uniqueness check.** A domain's batches are checked in
parallel, with an atomic mark per cell: of two rows that reach one cell,
whichever marks it second sees the mark.
**M1's gate (#49) is passed: 4.0–4.1× over five runs** (369 ms with
einfold off, 90 ms on), with the same gradients. More than half of what
remains is ddx's own work outside the folds: its key check (32 ms) and
an elementwise step (17 ms). The three folds take 37 ms between them.
About 130 non-test lines.
**Invariants tested.** `kernels_vs_sql.rs` gains a shape of 3 rows by
5,000 columns, so that column blocks run; its invariants are unchanged:
- the same rows as DataFusion's SQL, within float summation's bound;
- exactly SQL's NULLs, NaNs, infinities and signed zeros;
- the same bits across arrival orders, batchings and thread counts.

Control the fixed execution order of the einfold-off and einfold-on measurements.
main always runs off, then on, then one_thread. Each configuration gets its own best-of-5 block, and the blocks never interleave. Cache, thermal, and clock-frequency effects can then bias the comparison in one direction. This matters here because the README reports the result at 3.9–4.1× against a 4× gate, so a few percent decides pass or fail.
Run the configurations in alternating (or randomized) order across several rounds, and keep the best per configuration. Print the executed order and the raw per-round timings with the result, so a reader can see any order effect.
Sketch of the change in main:
letmut off_runs = Vec::new();letmut on_runs = Vec::new();for round in0..3{if round % 2 == 0{
off_runs.push(measure(SessionContext::new(), n).await);
on_runs.push(measure(einfold(SessionConfig::new()), n).await);}else{
on_runs.push(measure(einfold(SessionConfig::new()), n).await);
off_runs.push(measure(SessionContext::new(), n).await);}}// Report the per-configuration minimum, plus each round's order and raw timings.
Based on learnings: a benchmark comparison that always runs competing implementations in a fixed sequential order should be flagged unless the order is alternated or randomized and recorded with the raw timings.

A standalone crate, so einfold's workspace doesn't depend on ddx, that runs
ddx's matmul gradient program end to end on a multi-threaded runtime with
einfold off and installed, checks the gradients agree, and times each step.
At n = 50,000 it is 1.6x faster with einfold, short of the 4x gate; the rest
is ddx's join back around each contraction.

The gradients einfold gives were compared with DataFusion's within a
relative 1e-12, a tolerance of no particular meaning. They are now
compared within how far two correct evaluations of the program can
differ when each adds its sums in its own order: the forward
contraction's, carried through the cotangent (whose derivative is at
most 2), then each gradient's own. The gate's third clause, the same
bits across thread counts, is now checked too: einfold's gradients on
one thread equal those on every thread, bit for bit.

Each configuration ran in one block, einfold off and then on, so a warmer
or cooler machine favored one of them. Now four rounds alternate which runs
first, keep each configuration's best, and print every round's times. The
benchmark exits with an error when the speedup at n = 50,000 is below the
gate's 4×.
Measured that way on an idle machine, at the current code, the speedup is
3.98×: just below the gate, where the README had claimed it passed.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01M96xSez6PZwTmfaGh2eJgS
To CodeRabbit's nitpick on the run order: fixed in cccb3d8. Four rounds now alternate which configuration runs first, each configuration keeps its best, and every round's times are printed with the result. On an idle machine the rounds agree to within a few percent, so order wasn't what moved the result here; the earlier, faster figure came from older code.
To the fuzz adversary's note that ddx's random-table soak never triggers einfold, so the gate's correctness clause "passes without testing anything":
I agree, and the clause no longer rests on it. Since be7e800, the benchmark checks the gate's own program: einfold's gradients against DataFusion's, within a bound derived from the sums (bounds in src/main.rs), and einfold's bits on one thread against twelve.
A contraction primitive in ddx's own generator would make ddx's soak bite as well. That's ddx's code, so I've left it as a suggestion for the maintainer to pass on, rather than a change here.

result table: use 261.9 ms off and 15.5 ms on for grad_0_a, and 40.3 ms for the
three fold rows with einfold on. If those claims reflect a separate run,
identify the run and its date instead.
Review comments at @benchmarks/m1-gate/src/main.rs:
- Line 223: Replace the length-only ordering of gradients with identification by
key schema: recognize W̄ rows by (k, o) bounds and Ā rows by (s, k) bounds, then
keep W̄ first and Ā second before applying positional bounds. Validate that
exactly one gradient matches each schema, and preserve support for n values
below 8.

Adds
benchmarks/m1-gate, M1's gate benchmark. It's a standalone crate outside einfold's workspace, so einfold doesn't depend on ddx, an XQL Systems project for automatic differentiation of SQL queries. It runs ddx'smatmulgradient program end to end, with einfold off and installed, on a multi-threaded runtime. It checks that the gradients agree within derived bounds, and that einfold's are the same bits on one thread as on all. It times ddx's checks and each step, over four rounds that alternate which configuration runs first. It exits with an error when the speedup at n = 50,000 is below the gate's 4×.Result at n = 50,000 (i7-8700, DataFusion 55.2, ddx 921aef1, idle machine): 377 ms with einfold off, 95 ms on, 3.98×, just below M1's 4× gate. An earlier measurement, before the fixes for #60–#62 and with each configuration timed in one block, gave 4.0–4.1×. The README has each step. einfold runs each whole gradient step, joined back to its table, as one fold: Ā goes from 262 ms to 16. More than half of what remains is ddx's own work outside the folds: its key check (33 ms) and an elementwise step (17 ms). The three folds take 40 ms between them.
For scale: JAX takes 1.6 ms for the same gradient on this machine.
