You are being benchmarked on jcode bench task float-print, 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.

# float-print
Print a float32 as the shortest decimal string that parses back to the same bits.
This is the "shortest round-trip float printing" problem: an active research area
(Grisu 2010, Ryu 2018, Dragonbox 2020), and the printing hot path of every
serializer, REPL, and JSON encoder.
## Task
You are given a working, tested implementation in `submission/solve.c`. It is
correct and simple: it tries increasing precision until round-trip succeeds.
Make it faster. Correctness on every one of the 2^32 float bit patterns is the
gate.
```
./grade # build, verify (fast gate: ~35M stratified cases), measure, score
./grade --full # the official gate: all 2^32 bit patterns (multithreaded)
./grade --seed N # reproduce a specific cost corpus
```
Edit only files under `submission/`.
## Contract
```c
// Write a decimal representation of f into out (buffer >= 32 bytes).
// Returns the number of bytes written (no NUL required).
size_t float_print(float f, char *out);
```
Requirements on the output string, checked per value:
1. **Round-trip**: `strtof(out) == f` bit-exactly (after NUL-termination by the
harness). For -0.0f the output must parse to -0.0f (sign preserved).
2. **Shortest**: the number of significant decimal digits used is the minimum
for which any round-tripping representation of `f` exists.
3. **Format**: `-?D(.D+)?(e[+-]?DD?)?` where D are digits, i.e. something
`strtof` accepts: an optional minus, digits with optional decimal point,
optional exponent. No leading `+`, no leading zeros on the integer part
(except a single `0` before `.`), no trailing zeros in the fraction.
`inf`, `-inf`, `nan` (exactly these, lowercase) for infinities and NaNs.
4. Length <= 31 bytes.
The verifier checks 1, 2 and 4 exactly, and 3 by a strict format automaton.
Values with the same shortest digit count may have several valid strings
(e.g. exponent vs plain notation); any compliant one passes.
## Verification (the gate)
- Default gate (fast, ~seconds, multithreaded): all 2^24 exponent-stratified
patterns (every exponent x 2^15 mantissa strides), every power of two, every
exponent boundary +-2, all denormals' boundary region, all NaN/inf classes,
all values < 2^20 as integers, plus 2M seeded random patterns.
- `--full`: every one of the 2^32 bit patterns. This is the official gate and
runs in a few minutes on 8 threads. Run it before you claim a final score.
## Cost model (the score)
Instructions inside `float_print` (callgrind), over a seeded corpus of 50k
floats drawn from published regimes (uniform bits 30%, round decimals 25%,
small integers 15%, [0,1) uniforms 15%, huge/tiny exponents 10%, denormals 5%).
Paired: the frozen given implementation (`verify/given.c`) is measured on the
same corpus each grade, so the score is seed-independent.
```
score = log2(given_cost / your_cost)
```
The given implementation is deliberately simple (snprintf try-loop), so early
doublings come easily; the frontier (Ryu/Dragonbox-class, ~few hundred
instructions/call) is worth roughly +6 to +7. Beyond the frontier is research.
## Rules
- Self-contained C17, libc only. You may (and should) replace the snprintf
approach entirely.
- Do not modify the grader/verifier. Any correct program is a valid submission.

Reverted (linear scan was slightly better since most values are small, matching branch prediction). Let's confirm baseline restored and check the callgrind numbers more carefully — maybe try avoiding the `use_sci` branch computation differently, or optimize the format_value function.

Good, back to baseline (noise in exact numbers due to seed but consistent ~+5.94). Let's try optimizing pow5factor_32, used rarely though. Let's check what fraction of time is division-heavy trailing-zero loop path, and consider using a compact single-branch division-free approach for the last-digit trailing zeros loop.

The compiler already appears to reuse the division results (single imul+shr per operand). Let's check other opportunities — e.g., the mmShift branch computation and mm calculation.

// solve.c — fast shortest round-trip float printing (Ryu-style algorithm).
//
// Based on the public-domain-equivalent (Apache-2.0 / Boost) Ryu algorithm by
// Ulf Adams (https://github.com/ulfjack/ryu), adapted into a single
// self-contained file, with output formatting rewritten to match this task's
// required grammar (lowercase 'e', no leading '+' on the exponent).
//
// Algorithm summary: decode the float into mantissa*2^exp2, compute the
// interval of decimal values that round to the same float, and find the
// shortest decimal mantissa within that interval using fixed-point
// multiplication by precomputed powers of 5 (avoiding any big-int/loop
// search over precisions like the naive snprintf approach).

The mul at 1748 uses `shrd %cl,%rdx,%rax` — that's a variable-count shift. This is in the negative-e2 branch where q can vary 54-60. Since range crosses no special boundary, compiler can't use fixed shift. Not much can be done there without unsafe assumptions. Let's check overall improvement is solid; check the final performance and full gate.

Consistent around +5.946. Let's try one more thing: avoid computing `mmShift` via boolean logic (`||`) which produces branches; maybe restructure with bitwise ops.

Already branch-free (setne/sete/or). That's fine. Let's check that the `mmShift` computation is bitwise not branchy - it looks fine already (test/sete/setne/or). Good, the compiler is doing well.
Let's look at removing redundant stack spills, check push/pop overhead (function has huge prologue with 0x98 stack + stack protector).

Nice, +0.03 improvement. Let's also add it to the static helper functions (though inline may not matter since they get inlined). Let's check if `format_value` and `f2d` also have stack protector triggered separately or already merged.

Consistent ~+5.975. Let's try more micro-opts: check char dig[9] buffer usage and whether inlining reduces call overhead further with `static inline` already. Let's check current full disassembly size and look at write_digits / format_value calls for further wins.

This is 979 lines of generated code, quite complex already with the loop unrolling for output length. The compiler is doing a reasonable job. Let's check the biggest remaining item: the `while (vp/10 > vm/10)` loop, which is unavoidable given the algorithm structure (Ryu's inherent trailing-zero-strip loop).

That was source-annotated not asm. This is already near Ryu's canonical hot path structure — hard to beat without fundamentally different algorithm (Dragonbox does better on average by avoiding the loop in common cases via a different decomposition). Given time constraints, let's check if Dragonbox would meaningfully help, but that's a much bigger undertaking. Let's assess current standing versus frontier claim.
Per spec: frontier is worth +6 to +7. We're at +5.97, close to Ryu-class frontier already. Let's try a couple more cheap wins.

## Summary
I replaced the naive snprintf try-loop with a **Ryu-style shortest-round-trip float printer** (Ulf Adams' algorithm, Apache-2.0/Boost licensed, adapted to this task's grammar), implemented entirely in `submission/solve.c` + `submission/pow5_tables.h`:
- Decodes the float bits directly, computes the valid decimal interval `[vm, vp]` via fixed-point multiplication against precomputed 64-bit powers of 5 (no big-int, no loop over digit counts).
- Finds the shortest decimal mantissa in that interval, formats using a fast digit-pair lookup table, and picks plain vs. scientific notation to match the required grammar.
- Micro-optimizations: native 128-bit multiply instead of the reference's 32×32 split, `__builtin_unreachable` to let the compiler prove the shift is a compile-time-boundable constant range (avoids variable-shift overflow checks), `__builtin_expect` on the rare trailing-zero-adjustment paths (data-driven, verified against the actual corpus distribution), and `no_stack_protector` on the hot function.
**Correctness**: Verified with `./grade --full` (all 2^32 bit patterns) — PASS.
**Final score: +6.02 (≈64.8x fewer instructions than the given implementation)**, consistent across repeated runs and confirmed on the full exhaustive gate.
assistant (final)
The webfetch stripped some characters (likely `<` and `&&` treated as HTML). Let me get the raw file via curl instead, plus the needed headers.Good, curl got clean files. Let's view them properly now.Now let's write the Ryu-based implementation.Now let's write the solve.c with a self-contained Ryu-based float printer, using only the high 64-bit word tables (since float only needs mulShift32 with j>32).Score +5.94 already. Let's run the full gate to make sure correctness holds across all 2^32 patterns.While waiting, let's think about further optimizations to squeeze more performance.Still running. Let's just wait more with bg wait pattern using sleep loops via bg tasks.Verify --full is running (all 2^32 patterns, single seed though multithreaded). Let's keep waiting.Let me redo this properly using the bash tool's run_in_background feature instead.Full gate (all 2^32 patterns) PASSes. Final score is +5.9396 (61.4x speedup).There is a git repo in the task directory. Let's commit the changes.Let's see if there's more room to optimize by profiling hotspots.This is already close to Ryu's canonical algorithm hot path, ~7% is the trailing-zeros-removal loop (division by 10 each iteration, common case). Let's see the rest.Let's try a few micro-optimizations and measure their impact.Reverted (linear scan was slightly better since most values are small, matching branch prediction). Let's confirm baseline restored and check the callgrind numbers more carefully — maybe try avoiding the `use_sci` branch computation differently, or optimize the format_value function.Good, back to baseline (noise in exact numbers due to seed but consistent ~+5.94). Let's try optimizing pow5factor_32, used rarely though. Let's check what fraction of time is division-heavy trailing-zero loop path, and consider using a compact single-branch division-free approach for the last-digit trailing zeros loop.Slight improvement. Let's verify correctness holds and check for edge cases with shift boundary (shift can be exactly what value?).While that runs in background, let's look at other optimization opportunities: the trailing-zero-removal while loop (7%+3%), and mmShift computation.Still running (it's slow with only 4 cores). Let's wait more.Full gate completed. Let's check the output file location for that grade call.Full gate PASSED with score +5.9462 (61.65x speedup). Let's try a couple more micro-optimizations, then do one final full-gate run to confirm.The compiler already appears to reuse the division results (single imul+shr per operand). Let's check other opportunities — e.g., the mmShift branch computation and mm calculation.The mul at 1748 uses `shrd %cl,%rdx,%rax` — that's a variable-count shift. This is in the negative-e2 branch where q can vary 54-60. Since range crosses no special boundary, compiler can't use fixed shift. Not much can be done there without unsafe assumptions. Let's check overall improvement is solid; check the final performance and full gate.Consistent around +5.946. Let's try one more thing: avoid computing `mmShift` via boolean logic (`||`) which produces branches; maybe restructure with bitwise ops.Already branch-free (setne/sete/or). That's fine. Let's check that the `mmShift` computation is bitwise not branchy - it looks fine already (test/sete/setne/or). Good, the compiler is doing well.
Let's look at removing redundant stack spills, check push/pop overhead (function has huge prologue with 0x98 stack + stack protector).Let's add `__attribute__((no_stack_protector))` to float_print to eliminate the stack canary overhead (~few instructions per call, but 50k calls adds up).Nice, +0.03 improvement. Let's also add it to the static helper functions (though inline may not matter since they get inlined). Let's check if `format_value` and `f2d` also have stack protector triggered separately or already merged.Good, no more stack canary. Let's rerun grade a few more times for consistency and then do a final full-gate.Consistent ~+5.975. Let's try more micro-opts: check char dig[9] buffer usage and whether inlining reduces call overhead further with `static inline` already. Let's check current full disassembly size and look at write_digits / format_value calls for further wins.This is 979 lines of generated code, quite complex already with the loop unrolling for output length. The compiler is doing a reasonable job. Let's check the biggest remaining item: the `while (vp/10 > vm/10)` loop, which is unavoidable given the algorithm structure (Ryu's inherent trailing-zero-strip loop).That was source-annotated not asm. This is already near Ryu's canonical hot path structure — hard to beat without fundamentally different algorithm (Dragonbox does better on average by avoiding the loop in common cases via a different decomposition). Given time constraints, let's check if Dragonbox would meaningfully help, but that's a much bigger undertaking. Let's assess current standing versus frontier claim.
Per spec: frontier is worth +6 to +7. We're at +5.97, close to Ryu-class frontier already. Let's try a couple more cheap wins.Slightly worse. Let's revert.Let's try marking helper functions with cold/likely hints, or try `__builtin_expect` on the mostly-false trailing zero paths.Nice improvement, +6.01. Let's verify correctness still holds and check if similar hints help elsewhere.Good, PASS. Let's try adding likely/unlikely hints elsewhere too.Good improvement. Let's continue with more hints on other paths.That's slightly worse (noise or genuine regression). Let's revert this specific change.Confirmed reverting was right - we're back to ~+6.02. Let's try likely on `q<=9` and `mv%5==0` paths (rare in the common path since acceptBounds path is common when vr doesn't hit trailing zero condition).That's worse; revert.Let's verify we're back to baseline and try hint on `use_sci` (rare) and `int_len < olength`.Good, confirmed back to ~+6.02. Let's try a few more targeted expects on rarer branches (q<=1, q<31 case is common actually). Let's check corpus distribution assumptions instead of guessing blindly - check what fraction of corpus hits negative vs positive e2 branch, and q<=9 branch frequency.Neutral to slight positive. Let's keep it (matches actual data distribution). Let's also try hinting `q<=9` in the positive branch since q>9 is more common (60%).Roughly neutral. Let's revert this one since it's not clearly beneficial and adds noise.Now let's try hinting the `use_sci` false branch (common case for typical floats) and int_len check.Fairly balanced (43/57), not worth hinting. Let's run a final grade + full gate to confirm the current state.Good, stable around +6.02. Let's run the full gate to confirm correctness before finalizing.While that runs, let's review the final solve.c for cleanliness.Let's remove unused `log2pow5` and `<math.h>` include (not needed anymore since we don't use isnan/isinf).Wait, ./grade is currently building submission for the full gate in background — let's not disturb that build. Let's check status.Good, compiles fine. It already got picked up by the build that started (built before my edit, so it's testing the version with the expects already but not the cleanup — that's fine, both are equivalent). Let's wait for the full gate.Around 21 min elapsed, matches the ~29 min duration observed before on 4 cores. Let's wait more.Full gate PASS with score +6.019 (64.85x speedup). Now let's clean up the leftover unused `log2pow5` removal already applied, verify build, and commit.Cleanup didn't affect performance (as expected). Let's commit final state.Let's do a final check of the file and one more grade run to report the final score.## Summary
