NVIDIA A100 Evaluation & Token Economics
To bridge theoretical design and industrial software engineering, we conducted empirical evaluations using an enterprise NVIDIA A100-SXM4-80GB GPU (80 GB HBM2e VRAM, 167 GB host RAM) hosted on Google Colab Pro. We evaluated leading open-weight coding and reasoning models across a suite of industrial defect benchmarks.

📈 Publication-Grade Visualizations
Figure 1: Log Token Compression & 10-Turn Context Growth Curves

- Panel A (Peak Token Compression): Compares token footprints before and after symbolic offloading across Rust compiler crashes, Python test failures, Jest runs, and multithreaded deadlocks, achieving up to 99.81% compression.
- Panel B (10-Turn Cumulative Context Growth): In a 10-turn debugging session, unmanaged agents breach 128k token limits by Turn 6, inducing severe amnesia. K0maru holds context flat at ~1,505 tokens, yielding a cumulative 99.1% token savings.
Figure 2: System-Level Architectural Benchmarks

- Panel A (Cold-Start Invocation Latency): K0maru cold-starts in 3.38 ms, delivering up to 1,000x faster execution than containerized frameworks like Letta (3,200 ms) and TencentDB (2,500 ms).
- Panel B (Resident Memory & Binary Footprint): K0maru maintains a compact ~11.7 MB resident memory footprint (RSS) and a 3.66 MB standalone binary.
- Panel C (Index Rebuild Throughput): Rebuilds indexes at 6,746 documents per second (500 documents in 74.1 ms).

🔬 Detailed Case Study Analyses
Case 1: Rust Multithreaded Worker Ownership Move (E0382)

Case 2: Python Asyncio Unawaited Task Leak (InvalidStateError)
- Qwen2.5-Coder-32B:
- Control: Failed (misled by multiple traceback levels; called synchronous
.result()); - K0maru: Passed (identified pending state from the Mermaid diagram and refactored to
await asyncio.gather(*tasks, return_exceptions=True)).

- Control: Failed;
- K0maru: Passed (1.00s sub-second turnaround).
Case 3: TypeScript Authentication Middleware Deep Destructuring Crash
- Qwen2.5-Coder-32B:

if (ctx.req)guard that missed nested headers); - K0maru: Passed (used modern optional chaining:
ctx?.req?.headers?.['authorization']).
- Control: Failed (wrote an incomplete
Case 4: Go Unbuffered Channel Goroutine Deadlock
- All models resolved this defect in both configurations, but K0maru reduced prompt token overhead by 15% to 25%.
