Numbers that hold up.
Reproducible measurements for DENSE — DE:LIGHT's KVM nanoservice execution mode. Hardware, workload, and methodology are published alongside every result.
Reference voting workload on the DE:EPER validation rig, May 2026. EU-sovereign infrastructure; HATP receipt included in the measurement.
Warm dispatch latency — end-to-end
The wall-clock time from an agent dispatch request arriving at the DENSE scheduler to the first byte of the result being available to the caller. Measured at the 50th percentile across a sustained run of the reference voting workload. The measurement includes HATP receipt generation — the cryptographic proof of execution is not excluded.
Cold-start numbers and batch-regime throughput figures are being added as part of the ongoing validation series on the DE:EPER rig.
echo_counter — Borz / Go / Node
The echo_counter workload is a minimal stateful counter with a single increment operation. It exercises dispatch, state access, and receipt generation without workload-specific hotpaths. Results across the three supported runtimes are published under the same methodology.
| Runtime | Warm p50 | Warm p99 | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Borz | — | — | Results pending publication |
| Go | — | — | Same harness — results pending |
| Node | — | — | Same harness — results pending |
Results will be published once the validation series completes
live-rig runs. Raw results.json and
the reproducer script will be linked here alongside the numbers.
How the numbers are produced
Hardware
DE:EPER rigs — EU-hosted bare metal. Full specification and BIOS configuration published in the reproducer repository.
Isolation
Each run is pinned to a dedicated actor; no resource sharing between workloads during a measurement window.
Receipt inclusion
HATP receipts are generated for every call. The receipt latency is included in the reported wall-clock time — we do not measure a receipts-off fast path.
Reproducibility
The workload, harness, and analysis scripts are committed to a public repository. Anyone can run the same workload on comparable hardware and produce the same numbers.
EU-sovereign execution with a proof.
DENSE runs entirely on EU infrastructure. Every call produces a HATP receipt — a compact, verifiable proof of execution that can be presented to an auditor, a regulator, or a downstream system. The benchmark numbers above include that cost. There is no receipts-off mode that makes us look faster.
