Verification Methodology
Test Environment
- Platform: linux
- Architecture: x64
- Node Version: v22.17.0
- CPU Cores: 4
Benchmark Parameters
- Iterations per test: 10,000 - 100,000
- Warmup iterations: 1,000 - 10,000
- Timing precision: High-resolution timer (nanosecond precision)
- Statistical measures: Mean, Median, P95, P99, Min, Max
Verification Process
1. Direct Performance Measurement
- Psycho-Symbolic Reasoner operations measured directly
- Multiple iterations to ensure statistical significance
- High-resolution timing for sub-millisecond accuracy
2. Traditional System Simulation
- Based on published performance benchmarks
- Simulated network latency for cloud services
- Representative computational complexity
3. Statistical Validation
- Percentile analysis (P95, P99) for reliability
- Standard deviation for consistency
- Median values to avoid outlier influence
