Baseline: 4d798c7. Candidate: 81a87ea, PR #220. Measurements: 2026-11-05.
Each host ran 66 paired, complete public NumPy apply_uint8_lut workloads with uint8 data and exactly one CPU thread. The grid covers canonical non-square HWC C=1/3/9, tiny inputs, rank-4/rank-5 arrays, strides, Fortran order, read-only inputs and supplied outputs. Every candidate output is checked against table indexing and unchanged input. Timings use 31 interleaved samples with calibrated batches targeting 3 ms; raw per-call samples and complete package/source/thread/ISA inventories are in the JSON files.
