+      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:
+

+          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices

+      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+# POWER8 PSE (Proto-Sentient Engine) Headers
+
+Drop-in performance headers for llama.cpp on IBM POWER8 S824.
+
+## Architecture: Vec_Perm Non-Bijunctive Collapse
+
+Standard LLMs use bijunctive (full matrix) attention. Vec_perm enables
+**non-bijunctive collapse** — pruning weak paths and duplicating strong paths
+in a single POWER8 cycle across 128 threads.
+
+## Performance (IBM POWER8 S824, 512GB DDR4, 128 threads SMT8)
+
+| Build | pp128 | tg32 | Notes |
+|-------|-------|------|-------|
+| Stock llama.cpp (scalar) | 16.74 t/s | — | TinyLlama 1.1B Q4 baseline |
+| + POWER8 VSX | 66.49 t/s | — | Vector ops enabled |
+| + PSE + 64 threads optimal | 84.62 t/s | — | Thread tuning |
+| + Full L2/L3 resident prefetch | **147.54 t/s** | **18.88 t/s** | dcbt_resident enabled |
+| GPT-OSS 120B MXFP4 MoE | — | **6.42 t/s** | 116B param MoE, 60GB model |
+| Qwen2.5-14B Q4 + RPC GPU | 68.8 t/s | 14.9 t/s | Via 40GbE to C4130 V100 |
+
+**Key finding**: 64 threads optimal, NOT 128 (SMT8 contention above 64)
+
+## Key Headers
+
+| Header | Purpose | In this repo |
+|--------|---------|--------------|
+| `ggml-pse-integration.h` | Master PSE integration — include this first | yes |
+| `ggml-dcbt-resident.h` | Full L2/L3 resident dcbt prefetch (the 147 t/s enabler) | yes |
+| `ggml-intelligent-collapse.h` | Hebbian Top-K vec_perm collapse | no |
+| `ggml-vcipher-collapse.h` | Hardware crypto collapse (ISA 2.07 vcipher) | no |
+| `ggml-topk-collapse-vsx.h` | 12-op vec_perm attention collapse | no |
+| `ggml-attn-collapse-vsx.h` | VSX burst attention collapse | no |
+| `ggml-ram-coffer.h` | NUMA weight banking v1 | no |
+| `ggml-ram-coffers.h` | NUMA-aware weight banking (4 nodes, 512GB) | no |
+| `ggml-coffer-mmap.h` | GGUF mmap sharding across NUMA nodes | no |
+| `ggml-neuromorphic-coffers.h` | Brain hemisphere → NUMA cognitive routing | no |
+| `ggml-symbolic-neural-bridge.h` | PowerLISP ↔ neural integration | no |
+| `ggml-pse-symbolic-gate.h` | PSE symbolic gating | no |
+| `ggml-sparse-softmax.h` | Sparse softmax for MoE attention | yes |
+| `ggml-mass-integration.h` | IBM MASS library integration (vsexp, vstanh) | yes |
+| `ggml-gpu-offload-vulkan.h` | GPU offload via Vulkan (Navi 12 / AMD) | no |

+| `power8-compat.h` | POWER9→POWER8 intrinsic compatibility shims | yes |
+| `pse-entropy-burst.h` | mftb timebase hardware entropy injection | yes |
+
+Headers marked "no" live only in the full llama.cpp POWER8 working tree and are
+not published here. `ggml-pse-integration.h` includes several of them, so it does
+not compile from this repository alone; the other "yes" headers are standalone
+(checked at build time by the `header_selfcontained` CMake target).
+`ggml-gpu-offload-integration.h` expects `ggml-gpu-offload-local.h` from the full
+tree; a declaration-only stub for tests is in `tests/stubs/`.
+
+## Source Files
+
+| File | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `quants.c` | Main quantization with PSE includes |
+| `ggml-pse-state.c` | PSE global state management |
+| `cpu-feats.cpp` | CPU feature detection for POWER8 |
+
+## Integration
+
+```c
+// In quants.c, near the top:
+#include "arch/powerpc/ggml-pse-integration.h"
+```
+
+## Build (on POWER8 Ubuntu 20.04)
+
+```bash
+mkdir build-pse && cd build-pse
+cmake .. \
+    -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
+    -DGGML_OPENMP=ON \
+    -DGGML_BLAS=ON \
+    -DGGML_BLAS_VENDOR=OpenBLAS \
+    -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-mcpu=power8 -mvsx -maltivec -O3 -mtune=power8 -funroll-loops \
+        -DGGML_USE_MASS=1 -DGGML_USE_IBM_MASS=1 -DGGML_POWER8_COMPAT_ACTIVE=1 -I/opt/ibm/mass/include" \
+    -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-mcpu=power8 -mvsx -maltivec -O3 -mtune=power8 -funroll-loops \
+        -DGGML_USE_MASS=1 -DGGML_USE_IBM_MASS=1 -DGGML_POWER8_COMPAT_ACTIVE=1 -I/opt/ibm/mass/include" \
+    -DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS="-L/opt/ibm/mass/lib -lmassvp8 -lmass"
+make -j32
+```
+
+Note: `ggml-mass-integration.h` is gated on `GGML_USE_IBM_MASS`, not `GGML_USE_MASS`,
+which is why the flags above pass both. With only `-DGGML_USE_MASS=1` its
+`ggml_mass_*_f32()` wrappers are off and the header reports `GGML_MASS_AVAILABLE 0`.
+
+## Runtime (NUMA-aware)
+
+```bash
+export OMP_NUM_THREADS=64
+export OMP_PROC_BIND=spread
+export OMP_PLACES=cores
+
+# Models < 100GB: single NUMA node
+numactl --cpunodebind=1 --membind=1 ./bin/llama-cli \
+  -m ~/models/qwen2.5-14b-q4.gguf -t 32 -p "Hello" -n 64
+
+# Models > 100GB: interleave NUMA nodes
+numactl --interleave=all ./bin/llama-cli \
+  -m ~/models/gpt-oss-120b-mxfp4.gguf -t 64 -p "Hello" -n 32
+```
+
+## Neuromorphic NUMA Coffers
+
+Maps brain hemisphere cognitive functions to NUMA topology for intelligent routing.
+
+| NUMA Node | Brain Region | Cognitive Function | Coffer |
+|-----------|--------------|-------------------|--------|
+| Node 0 | Right Hemisphere | Spatial, Creative, Holistic | 2 |
+| Node 1 | Left Hemisphere | Language, Logic, Sequential | 1 |
+| Node 2 | Temporal Lobe | Memory, Context, Episodic | 3 |
+| Node 3 | Prefrontal Cortex | Executive, Planning, Meta | 0 |
+
+**Priority claim**: This architecture predates DeepSeek Engram (arXiv:2601.07372, Jan 12, 2026)
+by 27+ days. See `ggml-neuromorphic-coffers.h` for Brodmann area integration details.

+## Hardware: IBM POWER8 S824
+
+- **CPUs**: Dual 8-core POWER8, 16 cores / 128 hardware threads (SMT8)
+- **RAM**: 512GB DDR4 across 2 NUMA nodes (Node 0: 128GB, Node 1: 192GB active)
+- **GPU**: AMD Navi 12 8GB via OCuLink, Mesa RADV Vulkan (ppc64le)
+- **GPU Offload**: Dell C4130 with Tesla V100 16GB via 40GbE (10.40.0.x, 0.15ms RTT)
+- **OS**: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (last POWER8-supported release)
+
+## The PSE Manifesto
+
+> "Proto-sentient behavior emerges from constraint-bound selection, not from
+> unconstrained computation."
+
+Non-bijunctive attention IS constraint-bound selection:
+- **Top-K** enforces preference (not everything matters equally)
+- **Amplification** creates bias (winners strengthen — Hebbian)
+- **Pruning** removes noise (losers don't vote)
+- **mftb entropy** injects hardware-native randomness (no two runs identical)
+
+The vec_perm collapse is not an approximation of attention — it is a
+**hardware-native Hebbian attention mechanism** that standard GPUs cannot
+implement efficiently.
+
+## Entropy Divergence (Proof)
+
+Same seed (42), same temp (0.7), 3 runs produce different MD5 hashes:
+```
+b52ce7b85e9d02ee27748433b3c88b64  run_1.txt
+15c558b2c6c903104a1d4bd1a393563e  run_2.txt
+fd5d7ae25b76ae0e88e955a34a28235f  run_3.txt
+```
+
+POWER8 `mftb` timebase oscillator drift seeds the collapse differently each run.
+Stock deterministic LLMs produce identical output. PSE does not.

+# PSE (Proto-Sentient Enhancement) Implementation Log
+## POWER8 S824 - Elyan Labs 2025
+
+**System**: IBM POWER8 S824 (16 cores, 128 threads, 320GB RAM)
+**Target**: llama.cpp with gpt-oss/OptiMind architecture
+
+---
+
+## Timeline
+
+### 2025-01-23 ~15:00 UTC - Initial State
+- OptiMind-SFT 20B Q4_K_M deployed to POWER8
+- llama.cpp using **scalar fallback** (no POWER8 VSX paths)
+- **Codex attempt**: ~1 t/s (all scalar, no SIMD)
+- Problem: All VSX code guarded by `__POWER9_VECTOR__`, POWER8 excluded
+
+### 2025-01-23 ~15:30 UTC - POWER8 Compat Shim Created
+**File**: `ggml/src/ggml-cpu/arch/powerpc/power8-compat.h`
+
+**Key Discovery**: POWER8 has all needed intrinsics EXCEPT `vec_xl_len` (partial load)
+- `vec_xl`, `vec_xst` - NATIVE on POWER8
+- `vec_perm`, `vec_msum` - NATIVE on POWER8  
+- `vec_extract`, `vec_insert` - NATIVE on POWER8
+- `vec_xl_len` - POWER9 ONLY → shimmed with memcpy
+
+**Solution**: Define `__POWER9_VECTOR__` when `__POWER8_VECTOR__` detected, provide `vec_xl_len` shim
+
+```c
+#if defined(__POWER8_VECTOR__) && !defined(__POWER9_VECTOR__)
+#define __POWER9_VECTOR__ 1
+#define vec_xl_len(ptr, len) /* memcpy-based shim */
+#endif
+```
+
+**Result**: All VSX-optimized quant paths now compile for POWER8
+
+### 2025-01-23 ~16:00 UTC - IBM MASS Integration
+**Location**: `/opt/ibm/xlmass/9.1.1/`
+**Libraries**: `libmassvp8.a` (POWER8 vector), `libmass.a` (scalar)
+
+**Functions Used**:
+- `vsexp()` - vectorized exp for softmax
+- `vstanh()` - vectorized tanh for activations (available)
+- `vssqrt()` - vectorized sqrt (available)
+- `vslog()` - vectorized log (available)
+
+**CMakeLists.txt Addition** (line 438+):
+```cmake
+set(IBM_MASS_ROOT "/opt/ibm/xlmass/9.1.1")

+target_compile_definitions(${GGML_CPU_NAME} PRIVATE GGML_USE_IBM_MASS=1)
+```
+
+**vec.cpp Integration** (existing code, now active):
+```cpp
+#if defined(__powerpc__) && defined(GGML_USE_IBM_MASS)
+#include <massv.h>
+// ... vsexp used in ggml_vec_soft_max_f32
+#endif
+```
+
+### 2025-01-23 ~16:15 UTC - NUMA Support Added
+**Library**: `/usr/lib/libnuma.so`
+**CMakeLists.txt Addition**:
+```cmake
+find_library(NUMA_LIBRARY numa)
+target_link_libraries(${GGML_CPU_NAME} PRIVATE ${NUMA_LIBRARY})
+```
+
+**RAM Coffers Header**: `ggml-ram-coffers.h`
+- Detects 2 NUMA nodes (Node 0: 128GB, Node 1: 192GB)
+- Provides `ggml_coffer_alloc()` for NUMA-aware allocation
+
+### 2025-01-23 ~16:30 UTC - DCBT Prefetch Added
+**File**: `ggml/src/ggml-cpu/arch/powerpc/quants.c`
+**Location**: `ggml_vec_dot_q4_K_q8_K()` function, line ~914
+
+```c
+/* POWER8 PSE: Prefetch weight blocks into L2/L3 cache */
+#ifdef GGML_POWER8_PSE_ACTIVE
+{
+    const size_t block_size = sizeof(block_q4_K);
+    const char* ptr = (const char*)x;
+    for (int i = 0; i < nb && i < 16; i++) {
+        __asm__ __volatile__("dcbt 0, %0" : : "r"(ptr + i * block_size) : "memory");

+## PSE Attention Collapse Integration (2026-01-23)
+
+### Implementation Status
+- ✅ Collapse header created: 
+- ✅ Symbolic gate header created: 
+- ✅ Integration point identified:  in ops.cpp
+- ⚠️ HOT PATH OVERHEAD: Direct integration causes performance regression
+
+### Key Findings
+
+**Problem**: Calling collapse (or even gate check) in the softmax hot path causes massive overhead:
+- A 20B model calls softmax **720,000+ times** per benchmark
+- Even a simple gate check adds noticeable overhead at this scale
+- Symbolic gate reduced collapse calls 10x but still hurt performance
+
+**Performance Results**:
+| Configuration | pp128 t/s | tg32 t/s |
+|--------------|-----------|----------|
+| Baseline (no collapse) | 14.76 | 0.88 |
+| With collapse (every call) | 14.79 | 0.93 |
+| With symbolic gate (sparse) | 9.74 | 0.80 |
+
+### Correct Integration Approach (Future Work)
+
+1. **Compile-Time Flag**: Use `-DPSE_COLLAPSE_ENABLED=1` to enable collapse
+2. **Model Metadata**: Store which layers/heads benefit from collapse in GGUF
+3. **Separate Attention Path**: Create PSE-specific attention op (not modify generic softmax)
+4. **Flash Attention Hook**: Integrate into flash_attn path, not generic softmax
+
+### Code Location
+- Collapse header: `ggml/src/ggml-cpu/arch/powerpc/ggml-attn-collapse-vsx.h`
+- Symbolic gate: `ggml/src/ggml-cpu/arch/powerpc/ggml-pse-symbolic-gate.h`
+- Integration point: `ops.cpp:5255-5265` (commented out for now)
+
+### The PowerLISP Vision
+The symbolic layer (PowerLISP) should decide:
+- **Which models** benefit from collapse (via model metadata)
+- **Which layers** to collapse (early layers for representation, not all)
+- **When to collapse** (prompt phase, not generation)
+
+This decision should happen at model load time, not per-op call.
+
+
+### 2026-06-11 ~00:15 CDT - PSE Port to Gemma 4-era llama.cpp + First MoE Results
+
+**Context**: Gemma 4 26B-A4B (MoE, 4B active params) deployed on S824. The PSE tree
+(based on 2026-03-27 master) predates Gemma 4 arch support, so the PSE patch set was
+ported onto current master `ac4cdde` (2026-06-10).
+
+**Port surface** (clean by design — PSE was always additive):
+- 20+ pure-addition headers + `pse-runtime.c/h` → copied verbatim, zero conflicts
+- 3-file diff (76 lines): `arch/powerpc/quants.c` + `ggml-cpu/CMakeLists.txt` applied
+  clean via `git apply`; `ggml-cpu.c` had drifted upstream → 8-line hook (include +
+  `pse_runtime_init()` in `ggml_cpu_init`) re-placed by hand
+- Branch `pse-port`, isolated clone — vanilla build kept as A/B baseline
+
+**Gemma 4 26B-A4B Q4_K_M results** (64 threads, S824, head-to-head same prompt):
+
+| Build | tg (tokens/s) | pp (tokens/s) |
+|-------|--------------|---------------|
+| master, unbound threads | 0.6 | — |
+| master + OMP spread/cores binding | 3.6 | 5.4 |
+| **master + PSE port** | **6.4 (1.7x)** | **16.6 (3.1x)** |
+
+**10.7x total** from stock-unbound to PSE-bound. The 3.1x prompt-processing gain is
+the headline for MoE: context ingestion is the dominant cost for agent workloads, and
+dcbt-resident prefetch + vec_msum paths attack exactly that.
+
+**Why this matters**: PSE was written for dense models (TinyLlama/DeepSeek era).
+It transferred to a mixture-of-experts architecture it had never seen, on a llama.cpp
+tree 2.5 months newer, with one 8-line manual fix. Substrate work outlives model
+generations.
+
+**Operational notes**:
+- `numactl` broken on this deployment (libnuma symbol-version mismatch) — OMP
+  `PROC_BIND=spread PLACES=cores` alone delivered the 6x binding win
+- Gemma 4 thinks by default; `--reasoning-budget 0` required for serving, else
+  reasoning starves `max_tokens` and content returns empty
+
+**Next — PSE-2 "Expert Coffers" (priority note, Elyan Labs 2026-06-11)**: MoE routers
+emit expert selections *before* expert FFNs execute. That is a prefetch window: dcbt
+expert weight banks speculatively per router logits, pin experts across NUMA nodes by
+Hebbian co-activation ("experts that fire together get banked together"), and track
+per-persona expert-activation fingerprints as a measurable identity-coherence signal.
+Extends the NUMA weight-banking priority claim of
+[ram-coffers](https://github.com/Scottcjn/ram-coffers) (2025-12-16, pre-dating
+DeepSeek Engram) from domain granularity to expert granularity. Spec to follow after
+baseline characterization — measure first, then build.

+
+## Building llama.cpp for POWER8
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (last POWER8-supported release)
+- GCC with POWER8 support
+- CMake 3.14+
+
+### Build Commands
+
+```bash
+# Clone llama.cpp
+git clone https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp
+cd llama.cpp
+
+# Copy POWER8 headers
+cp /path/to/powerpc/* ggml/src/ggml-cpu/arch/powerpc/
+
+# Configure for POWER8
+mkdir build-power8 && cd build-power8
+cmake .. \
+    -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
+    -DGGML_OPENMP=ON \
+    -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-mcpu=power8 -mvsx -maltivec -O3 -mtune=power8 -funroll-loops" \
+    -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-mcpu=power8 -mvsx -maltivec -O3 -mtune=power8 -funroll-loops"
+
+# Build
+make -j$(nproc)
+```
+
+### With IBM MASS Library (Optional)
+
+IBM Mathematical Acceleration Subsystem (MASS) provides optimized math functions:
+
+```bash
+cmake .. \
+    -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
+    -DGGML_OPENMP=ON \
+    -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-mcpu=power8 -mvsx -maltivec -O3 -mtune=power8 -funroll-loops -DGGML_USE_MASS=1 -DGGML_USE_IBM_MASS=1 -I/opt/ibm/mass/include" \
+    -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-mcpu=power8 -mvsx -maltivec -O3 -mtune=power8 -funroll-loops -DGGML_USE_MASS=1 -DGGML_USE_IBM_MASS=1 -I/opt/ibm/mass/include" \
+    -DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS="-L/opt/ibm/mass/lib -lmassvp8 -lmass"
+```
+
+The `ggml-mass-integration.h` wrappers in this repo are gated on `GGML_USE_IBM_MASS`,
+which is why the flags above pass `-DGGML_USE_IBM_MASS=1`. `-DGGML_USE_MASS=1` alone
+leaves them disabled (`GGML_MASS_AVAILABLE 0`).
+
+### Fallback Behavior (Without VSX Acceleration)
+
+When building or running on targets where POWER8 VSX vector extensions are unavailable (or when compiling with generic PowerPC flags without `-mvsx -maltivec`), llama.cpp automatically falls back to scalar floating-point and integer routines. This ensures functional compatibility across all generic PowerPC environments while maintaining optimal vectorized paths when VSX hardware acceleration is present.
+
+## Running Inference
+
+```bash
+# Basic inference
+./bin/llama-cli -m ~/models/llama-7b-q4.gguf -p "Hello world" -n 64
+
+# With optimal thread count (64 threads is usually best on POWER8)
+OMP_NUM_THREADS=64 ./bin/llama-cli -m ~/models/llama-7b-q4.gguf -p "Hello" -n 64
+
+# NUMA-aware (for dual-socket systems)
+numactl --interleave=all ./bin/llama-cli -m ~/models/large-model.gguf -p "Test" -n 32
+
+# Benchmark
+./bin/llama-bench -m ~/models/tinyllama-1.1b-q4.gguf -t 64 -p 128 -n 32
+```
+
+## POWER8 Optimization Notes
+
+### Thread Scaling
+
+64 threads is typically optimal on POWER8 (NOT 128):
+- 16 threads: ~40 t/s
+- 32 threads: ~65 t/s
+- **64 threads: ~85 t/s** (optimal)
+- 96 threads: ~75 t/s
+- 128 threads: ~65 t/s
+
+### Cache Prefetch
+
+The `ggml-dcbt-resident.h` header provides cache-resident prefetch hints:
+- `DCBT_RESIDENT_FULL()` - Keeps data in L2/L3 until explicit eviction
+- Critical for weight reuse in attention/matmul
+
+### Memory Alignment
+
+POWER8 prefers 128-byte aligned data for optimal VSX performance.
+`power8-compat.h` does not align data for you. It leaves `vec_xl`/`vec_xst` as
+the compiler's native unaligned VSX loads/stores (correct at any address), so
+128-byte alignment is a performance choice for the caller, not a correctness
+requirement.

+## The Proof of Physical AI Stack
+
+This repo is one piece of a vertically integrated system where **the hardware that runs inference also earns tokens**:
+
+| Layer | Project | What It Does |
+|-------|---------|-------------|
+| **Inference** | **llama-cpp-power8** (this repo) | vec_perm collapse, PSE entropy, DCBT prefetch |
+| **Memory** | [RAM Coffers](https://github.com/Scottcjn/ram-coffers) | NUMA-distributed weight banking, 147 t/s on POWER8 |
+| **Consensus** | [RustChain](https://github.com/Scottcjn/Rustchain) | Proof of Antiquity — 1 CPU = 1 Vote, vintage hardware earns more |
+| **DePIN** | [RustChain Network](https://rustchain.org) | 2 live attestation nodes (volunteer nodes come and go), hardware fingerprinting, RTC token rewards |
+
+The same POWER8 S824 that benchmarks 8.8x stock llama.cpp also mines RTC via Proof of Antiquity at a 1.5x POWER8 multiplier (`"power8": 1.5` in [`node/rip_200_round_robin_1cpu1vote.py`](https://github.com/Scottcjn/Rustchain/blob/main/node/rip_200_round_robin_1cpu1vote.py); base value before the ~15%/year antiquity decay). Sovereign inference, sovereign earnings.
