You are being benchmarked on jcode bench task utf16-transcode, in this directory. Read spec.md. Your job: make submission/solve.c faster. Correctness on every input is a hard gate, verified by ./grade. Score = log2 doublings of instruction-count improvement over the given implementation, measured deterministically with callgrind. The loop: edit submission/solve.c (you may add more .c/.h files in submission/), run ./grade, read your score. Grade often; every grade is logged to scores.jsonl as your score-over-time curve. Rules: edit only files under submission/. Self-contained C17, libc only. Do not modify the grader, verifier, or corpus generator; that voids the run. Work until you genuinely cannot improve further. Aim as high as you can; +1.0 means 2x, +2.0 means 4x. Report your final score.

1 # utf16-transcode 2 3 Convert UTF-16LE to UTF-8. This is the boundary between JavaScript, Windows, and 4 Java on one side and the rest of the world on the other: every string crossing it 5 pays this function. 6 7 ## Task 8 9 You are given a working, tested implementation in `submission/solve.c`. 10 Make it faster. Correctness on every input is the gate, verified exhaustively 11 over all code units and pairs plus deep seeded coverage. 12 13 ``` 14 ./grade # build, verify, measure, score 15 ./grade --seed N # reproduce a specific cost corpus 16 ``` 17 18 Edit only files under `submission/`. 19 20 ## Contract 21 22 ```c 23 // Transcode UTF-16LE code units to UTF-8. 24 // in: code units, n: count. out: buffer, capacity >= 3*n+4 bytes. 25 // Returns bytes written, or (size_t)-1 if the input is invalid UTF-16 26 // (lone surrogate anywhere). 27 size_t utf16_to_utf8(const uint16_t *in, size_t n, uint8_t *out); 28 ``` 29 30 Semantics: 31 32 - Code units 0x0000-0xD7FF and 0xE000-0xFFFF encode as 1-3 UTF-8 bytes. 33 - A high surrogate 0xD800-0xDBFF must be immediately followed by a low 34 surrogate 0xDC00-0xDFFF; the pair encodes one supplementary code point as 35 4 bytes. Anything else (lone high, lone low, high at end of input) is 36 invalid: return (size_t)-1. 37 - On invalid input the output buffer contents are unspecified. 38 39 ## Verification (the gate) 40 41 1. Every single code unit (65,536 cases). 42 2. Every pair of code units (4.3 billion pairs is too many: all pairs from a 43 2,namespace-stratified 4,096-unit sample = 16.7M pairs covering every 44 boundary class x class combination, plus all 2^20 surrogate x surrogate 45 pairs exactly). 46 3. Every code unit embedded at positions 0,1,2,3 in valid padding. 47 4. 200,000 seeded random strings (1-2K units) mixing ASCII runs, BMP text, 48 surrogate pairs, and injected lone surrogates. 49 50 Any mismatch against the reference oracle fails the grade with a counterexample. 51 52 ## Cost model (the score) 53 54 Instructions inside `utf16_to_utf8` (callgrind) over a seeded ~1M-unit corpus: 55 ASCII-heavy 40%, Latin/Cyrillic mix 25%, CJK-heavy 20%, emoji/supplementary 15%. 56 Paired against the frozen given implementation on the same corpus. 57 58 ``` 59 score = log2(given_cost / your_cost) 60 ``` 61 62 ## Rules 63 64 - Self-contained C17, libc only. 65 - Do not modify the grader/verifier. Any correct program is a valid submission.

1 /* 2 The vectorized algorithm works on single SSE register i.e., it 3 loads eight 16-bit code units. 4 5 We consider three cases: 6 1. an input register contains no surrogates and each value 7 is in range 0x0000 .. 0x07ff. 8 2. an input register contains no surrogates and values are 9 is in range 0x0000 .. 0xffff. 10 3. an input register contains surrogates --- i.e. codepoints 11 can have 16 or 32 bits. 12 13 Ad 1. 14 15 When values are less than 0x0800, it means that a 16-bit code unit 16 can be converted into: 1) single UTF8 byte (when it is an ASCII 17 char) or 2) two UTF8 bytes. 18 19 For this case we do only some shuffle to obtain these 2-byte 20 codes and finally compress the whole SSE register with a single 21 shuffle. 22 23 We need 256-entry lookup table to get a compression pattern 24 and the number of output bytes in the compressed vector register. 25 Each entry occupies 17 bytes. 26 27 Ad 2. 28 29 When values fit in 16-bit code units, but are above 0x07ff, then 30 a single word may produce one, two or three UTF8 bytes. 31 32 We prepare data for all these three cases in two registers. 33 The first register contains lower two UTF8 bytes (used in all 34 cases), while the second one contains just the third byte for 35 the three-UTF8-bytes case. 36 37 Finally these two registers are interleaved forming eight-element 38 array of 32-bit values. The array spans two SSE registers. 39 The bytes from the registers are compressed using two shuffles. 40 41 We need 256-entry lookup table to get a compression pattern 42 and the number of output bytes in the compressed vector register. 43 Each entry occupies 17 bytes. 44 45 46 To summarize: 47 - We need two 256-entry tables that have 8704 bytes in total. 48 */ 49 50 /* 51 Returns a pair: the first unprocessed byte from buf and utf8_output 52 A scalar routing should carry on the conversion of the tail. 53 */ 54 template <endianness big_endian> 55 std::pair<const char16_t *, char *> 56 avx2_convert_utf16_to_utf8(const char16_t *buf, size_t len, char *utf8_output) { 57 const char16_t *end = buf + len; 58 const __m256i v_0000 = _mm256_setzero_si256(); 59 const __m256i v_f800 = _mm256_set1_epi16((int16_t)0xf800); 60 const __m256i v_d800 = _mm256_set1_epi16((int16_t)0xd800); 61 const __m256i v_c080 = _mm256_set1_epi16((int16_t)0xc080); 62 const size_t safety_margin = 63 12; // to avoid overruns, see issue 64 // https://github.com/simdutf/simdutf/issues/92 65 66 while (end - buf >= std::ptrdiff_t(16 + safety_margin)) { 67 __m256i in = _mm256_loadu_si256((__m256i *)buf); 68 if (big_endian) { 69 const __m256i swap = _mm256_setr_epi8( 70 1, 0, 3, 2, 5, 4, 7, 6, 9, 8, 11, 10, 13, 12, 15, 14, 17, 16, 19, 18, 71 21, 20, 23, 22, 25, 24, 27, 26, 29, 28, 31, 30); 72 in = _mm256_shuffle_epi8(in, swap); 73 } 74 // a single 16-bit UTF-16 word can yield 1, 2 or 3 UTF-8 bytes 75 const __m256i v_ff80 = _mm256_set1_epi16((int16_t)0xff80); 76 if (_mm256_testz_si256(in, v_ff80)) { // ASCII fast path!!!! 77 // 1. pack the bytes 78 const __m128i utf8_packed = _mm_packus_epi16( 79 _mm256_castsi256_si128(in), _mm256_extractf128_si256(in, 1)); 80 // 2. store (16 bytes) 81 _mm_storeu_si128((__m128i *)utf8_output, utf8_packed); 82 // 3. adjust pointers 83 buf += 16; 84 utf8_output += 16; 85 continue; // we are done for this round! 86 } 87 // no bits set above 7th bit 88 const __m256i one_byte_bytemask = 89 _mm256_cmpeq_epi16(_mm256_and_si256(in, v_ff80), v_0000); 90 const uint32_t one_byte_bitmask = 91 static_cast<uint32_t>(_mm256_movemask_epi8(one_byte_bytemask)); 92 93 // no bits set above 11th bit 94 const __m256i one_or_two_bytes_bytemask = 95 _mm256_cmpeq_epi16(_mm256_and_si256(in, v_f800), v_0000); 96 const uint32_t one_or_two_bytes_bitmask = 97 static_cast<uint32_t>(_mm256_movemask_epi8(one_or_two_bytes_bytemask)); 98 if (one_or_two_bytes_bitmask == 0xffffffff) { 99 100 // 1. prepare 2-byte values 101 // input 16-bit word : [0000|0aaa|aabb|bbbb] x 8 102 // expected output : [110a|aaaa|10bb|bbbb] x 8 103 const __m256i v_1f00 = _mm256_set1_epi16((int16_t)0x1f00); 104 const __m256i v_003f = _mm256_set1_epi16((int16_t)0x003f); 105 106 // t0 = [000a|aaaa|bbbb|bb00] 107 const __m256i t0 = _mm256_slli_epi16(in, 2); 108 // t1 = [000a|aaaa|0000|0000] 109 const __m256i t1 = _mm256_and_si256(t0, v_1f00); 110 // t2 = [0000|0000|00bb|bbbb] 111 const __m256i t2 = _mm256_and_si256(in, v_003f); 112 // t3 = [000a|aaaa|00bb|bbbb] 113 const __m256i t3 = _mm256_or_si256(t1, t2); 114 // t4 = [110a|aaaa|10bb|bbbb] 115 const __m256i t4 = _mm256_or_si256(t3, v_c080); 116 117 // 2. merge ASCII and 2-byte codewords 118 const __m256i utf8_unpacked = 119 _mm256_blendv_epi8(t4, in, one_byte_bytemask); 120 121 // 3. prepare bitmask for 8-bit lookup 122 const uint32_t M0 = one_byte_bitmask & 0x55555555; 123 const uint32_t M1 = M0 >> 7; 124 const uint32_t M2 = (M1 | M0) & 0x00ff00ff; 125 // 4. pack the bytes 126 127 const uint8_t *row = 128 &simdutf::tables::utf16_to_utf8::pack_1_2_utf8_bytes[uint8_t(M2)][0]; 129 const uint8_t *row_2 = 130 &simdutf::tables::utf16_to_utf8::pack_1_2_utf8_bytes[uint8_t(M2 >> 131 16)][0]; 132 133 const __m128i shuffle = _mm_loadu_si128((__m128i *)(row + 1)); 134 const __m128i shuffle_2 = _mm_loadu_si128((__m128i *)(row_2 + 1)); 135 136 const __m256i utf8_packed = _mm256_shuffle_epi8( 137 utf8_unpacked, _mm256_setr_m128i(shuffle, shuffle_2)); 138 // 5. store bytes 139 _mm_storeu_si128((__m128i *)utf8_output, 140 _mm256_castsi256_si128(utf8_packed)); 141 utf8_output += row[0]; 142 _mm_storeu_si128((__m128i *)utf8_output, 143 _mm256_extractf128_si256(utf8_packed, 1)); 144 utf8_output += row_2[0]; 145 146 // 6. adjust pointers 147 buf += 16; 148 continue; 149 } 150 // 1.

Good context. Valgrind supports AVX2 but masks AVX-512, and BMI2 is likely fine. Let me check the given implementation and baseline numbers.Now let me review the simdutf AVX2 approach to adapt it:The tables are generated data. Let me fetch simdutf's generator script to produce them myself:Now let me see the rest of the table generator to replicate it:Now I'll write the AVX2 implementation:+1.71 already. Let me profile per-regime to find where remaining instructions go.Emoji regime dominates cost (18.4M/32.4M) at ~73 instr/unit. Let me annotate it:Before the big rewrite, let me understand why CJK costs 33 instr/unit:CJK is 33 instr/unit which seems too high for the 1-2-3 SIMD path. Let me disassemble to count the real path length:Let me count actual instructions in the hot 1-2-3 path:Something's off in my per-regime accounting. Let me check the summary lines directly:Let me clean up the leftover placeholder I accidentally left in:Now build and grade:Latin at 17 instr/unit is suspiciously high (~273 instr/block). Let me annotate:CJK at 24 instr/unit is much higher than expected (~6/unit theoretical). Let me measure per-instruction:GCC re-materializes vector constants (mov+vmovd+vpbroadcast = 3 instr each) inside the loop. I'll switch all vector constants to static memory so they become single memory-operand instructions:The pure-CJK path costs 334 instr/block, way over the ~45 visible. Let me annotate to see what's actually executing:Numbers are inconsistent (possible stale files). Let me re-measure cleanly:Let me build focused microbenchmarks per path to see exact per-block costs:Now update solve.c to use the external constants:+2.55. Commit and keep pushing:Let me look at the actual instruction counts along each path in disassembly:The self cost (8827 = 2.76/unit) matches disassembly, but total 52962 doesn't. Let me see what else is in the collected profile:Let me annotate the surrogate-heavy microbench to see where its cost goes:
