hpc: signature_pde_sweep — general-dimension Goursat-PDE signature kernel on the SIMD wavefront - #293
Conversation
…rnel on the SIMD wavefront
Promotes jc's goursat_substrate_probe (dim=2 throwaway falsifier) into a real,
general-dimension primitive: signature_pde_sweep(x, y) matches
sigker::signature_kernel_pde's exact signature, built entirely on
crate::simd::F64x8's public methods (mul_add/splat/from_slice/copy_to_slice)
so it gets all-backend dispatch (AVX-512/AVX2/NEON/wasm/scalar) with no new
arch-specific code. Same three-FMA anti-diagonal wavefront body as the probe,
generalized from a hardcoded 2-component split to per-dimension SoA arrays
(dx[a]/dyr[a]) accumulated via a dimension loop.
Measured (release, this host): ~9x speedup over row-major scalar at the
probe's own shapes (256/1024/2048/4096, dim=2) and at dim=5; the exact jc
Pillar-11 leg shape (8 pairs, len=4609, dim=2) completes in 0.24s total.
Parity tests (dim in {1,2,3,5}, rectangular n!=m grids, lengths not multiples
of 8, degenerate single-point paths, an all-zero-increment K==1 invariant)
all pass against an independent test-only scalar oracle — no dependency on
sigker from ndarray.
Satisfies the W1a/W1.5 acceptance criteria in
.claude/knowledge/ndarray-vertical-simd-alien-magic.md: all three backends
via the existing polyfill, mandatory parity test with edge cases, bench
example reporting speedup ratios (examples/signature_pde_bench.rs).

When a consumer runs cargo test -p ndarray --no-default-features, Cargo builds examples as part of the command (the local cargo test --help explicitly says it will “build examples of a local package”). This auto-discovered example has no required-features = ["std"] entry in Cargo.toml, but ndarray::hpc is compiled only under #[cfg(feature = "std")], so the no-default-features test build fails at this import. Add a manifest entry for this example requiring std, as is already done for the other HPC examples.

Report the stored path-point count.
path(n, ...) creates n + 1 points. The Pillar-11 workload documents path(4608, ...) as length 4609, so these rows can report len=256 for 257-point inputs. Print n + 1, or label the field steps.

Keep the signature_pde_sweep result observable. The Pillar-11 loop ignores the returned f64, so release optimization can remove or simplify the computation and under-report simd_total. Accumulate each result through std::hint::black_box and print a checksum after timing.

Validate all coordinate rows in release builds.
debug_assert_eq! is removed in release builds. If y has extra axes, the sweep silently ignores them. If either path has a later row with too few axes, increments_soa panics while indexing it.
Use an unconditional validation before increments_soa. Check every row in both paths against dim. Update the Panics documentation to include non-rectangular paths.
Proposed fix
let dim = x[0].len();
- debug_assert_eq!(dim, y[0].len(), "signature_pde_sweep: x and y must share coordinate dimension");
+ assert!(
+ x.iter()
+ .chain(y.iter())

hpc (and therefore signature_pde_sweep) is #[cfg(feature = "std")]-gated, but the new example used it unconditionally. CI runs `cargo test --package ndarray --no-default-features`, which builds every example by default regardless of default-features — breaking with "cannot find `hpc` in `ndarray`". Fix mirrors every other hpc-dependent example in this Cargo.toml (entropy_ladder_probe, instrument_mtmm_probe, cakes_grail_probe, ...): required-features = ["std"], so cargo skips the target instead of failing to compile it. Reproduced the failure locally with the exact CI invocation, confirmed the fix skips (not fails) the build under --no-default-features, and confirmed the default (std) build still compiles and runs the example, and the lib tests still pass 5/5.

The Ada stack's mandatory-SIMD invariant ("all SIMD from
ndarray::simd; scalar is a backend of the polyfill, never a consumer-authored alternative") flagged the Goursat PDE solver insigker/jcas scientific code bypassing the substrate. A measured falsifier (A0=shipped/A1=flat storage/A2=SIMD wavefront) confirmed the SIMD wavefront is both correct (bit-exact A0=A1, predeclared-tolerance A1↔A2) and materially faster, but was scoped to dim=2 as a probe. This PR is the follow-through: the real primitive, generalized, tested, and benched.Test plan
