Replaces the sequential per-bar OFI loop in
`crates/ml/examples/precompute_features.rs:578-734` with a call into a
new `ml-features` library function that shards bars across CPU cores
with warmup overlap. On `ci-compile-cpu` (28 cores), large fxcache
runs (~50-200k bars) get a meaningful speedup; small datasets (<10k
bars) may run slightly slower due to amortisation cost — see test
output below.
Strategy: time-bucket sharding with warmup overlap
- Partition core bars [0, n) into K contiguous shards (K = rayon
current threads, or `OFI_SHARD_COUNT` env override).
- For each shard [start_k, end_k):
1. Construct a fresh `OFICalculator`.
2. Replay the `WARMUP_BARS = 5000` preceding bars (or fewer if
start_k < 5000) by feeding trades + calling
`calculate(last_snap)` and DISCARDING outputs. This populates
VPIN (50 buckets × 50k contracts), Kyle (100 trades),
trade-imbalance (100 trades), OFI-stats (300 snapshots), and
prev_snapshot to bit-identical sequential-walk state.
3. Process core bars and emit ofi_per_bar rows.
- Concatenate shard outputs in order, then run post-loop passes
(lag-1 deltas, log_bar_duration) over the full Vec — both are pure
functions of the concatenated output / bar timestamps and have no
shard interaction.
Bit-equivalence guarantee
=========================
Each shard's warmup phase replays the same prefix of trades+snapshots
into a freshly initialised local `OFICalculator`. Once the warmup has
covered enough bars to fully populate every rolling window AND any
post-warmup-window state has been carried forward, the shard's
calculator state at the warmup→core boundary is bit-identical to the
sequential walk. `MicrostructureState` is constructed fresh per-bar
(no cross-bar state) so its semantics are unchanged.
Verified by `crates/ml-features/tests/ofi_parallel_bit_equiv_test.rs`:
| test | result | max abs diff |
|-------------------------------------------------|--------|--------------|
| parallel_matches_sequential_within_1e9_k4 | pass | ≤ 1e-9 |
| parallel_matches_sequential_within_1e9_k8 | pass | ≤ 1e-9 |
| parallel_k1_is_sequential | pass | exactly 0 |
| parallel_handles_no_trades | pass | ≤ 1e-9 |
| parallel_speedup_smoke (ignored, bench-shaped) | n/a | n/a |
Speedup smoke (release, K=8, synthetic data):
n=8000 bars : seq=16.36ms par=18.98ms speedup=0.86x
n=30000 bars: seq=50.89ms par=29.56ms speedup=1.72x
n=80000 bars: seq=142.12ms par=55.13ms speedup=2.58x
Speedup grows with N because the 5000-bar warmup overhead
amortises. At production scale (50-200k bars × ~3 snap/bar × ~5
trades/bar) real workloads will see closer to K-1.x speedup. Small
datasets (<10k) regress slightly — by design; warmup must be ≥
rolling-window depth for bit-equivalence and we will not relax that
for marginal wall-clock gains on tiny inputs.
Diff
====
- `crates/ml-features/src/ofi_calculator.rs` (+356 LOC):
`compute_ofi_per_bar_sequential` (reference impl),
`compute_ofi_per_bar_parallel` (rayon par_iter over shard ranges),
`process_one_bar` (shared per-bar body — single source of truth
for the loop semantics, no duplication between paths),
`apply_post_loop_passes`, `PerBarOfiInputs` struct,
`PER_BAR_OFI_DIM=32` const, `DEFAULT_OFI_PARALLEL_WARMUP_BARS=5000`
const.
- `crates/ml-features/src/lib.rs` (+4 LOC): re-export new public API.
- `crates/ml/examples/precompute_features.rs` (-132 +35 LOC): replace
the inline 132-line OFI loop with a call to
`compute_ofi_per_bar_parallel`. Reads `OFI_SHARD_COUNT` env or
falls back to `rayon::current_num_threads()`.
- `crates/ml-features/tests/ofi_parallel_bit_equiv_test.rs` (+~280 LOC,
new): synthetic-data bit-equivalence tests at K=4, K=8, K=1, and
no-trades.
Memory budget per shard: one cloned `OFICalculator` (≤10 MB carrying
the rolling-window state). K=8 ≈ 80 MB extra. Manageable on the 28-core
CPU node.
No `mbp10_to_imbalance_bars` / `filter_front_month_mbp10` changes
(out of scope; those were just fixed and a separate smoke is running).
No audit-doc update required: changes are confined to ml-features +
ml/examples and do not touch crates/ml/src/(cuda_pipeline|trainers/dqn)/
which is the trigger scope for the Invariant-7 audit-doc check.

//! Bit-equivalence test for `compute_ofi_per_bar_parallel` vs.
|
||
//! `compute_ofi_per_bar_sequential` (SP20, 2026-05-10).
|
||
//!
|
||
//! Asserts that the time-bucket-sharded parallel implementation produces
|
||
//! the SAME per-bar OFI features as the single-threaded reference, within
|
||
//! `1e-9` absolute tolerance per cell. In practice the result is
|
||
//! bit-identical because each shard's warmup phase replays the same
|
||
//! prefix of trades+snapshots into a freshly-initialised local
|
||
//! `OFICalculator`, so the rolling-window state at the warmup→core
|
||
//! boundary is identical to the sequential walk.
|
||
//!
|
||
//! Test strategy:
|
||
//! 1. Generate synthetic OHLCV bars + MBP-10 snapshots + trades with
|
||
//! enough bars (>5000 + warmup) to exercise the rolling-window
|
||
//! eviction path.
|
||
//! 2. Run `compute_ofi_per_bar_sequential` and capture the result.
|
||
//! 3. Run `compute_ofi_per_bar_parallel` with K = 4 and K = 8 shards.
|
||
//! 4. Assert max-abs-diff <= 1e-9 across all cells (32 dims × n bars).
|
||
//!
|
||
//! Why synthetic data: the test must be hermetic; we can't depend on
|
||
//! `test_data/futures-baseline-mbp10` being present in CI workspaces.
|
||
//! The synthetic generator constructs realistic-shaped MBP-10 books and
|
||
//! a Poisson-arrival trade tape with tick-rule sign so VPIN/Kyle/
|
||
//! trade-imb are all driven from real `feed_trade` calls.
|
||
//!
|
||
//! If this test fails: the parallel implementation has diverged from
|
||
//! sequential semantics. Do NOT relax the tolerance; instead, increase
|
||
//! the warmup size in `DEFAULT_OFI_PARALLEL_WARMUP_BARS` or audit the
|
||
//! shard boundaries in `compute_ofi_per_bar_parallel`. See the module
|
||
//! note at the top of `crates/ml-features/src/ofi_calculator.rs`.
