Correct whole-frame GPU timestamps so they bracket only the accepted render transaction and associate delayed query results with the owning CPU frame. Add route-wide frame-history summaries, fixed-camera screenshot comparison, process counters, contention traces, a pinned Arwic workload, and credential-safe launch disclosure. The reference hardware/display contract now keeps local and RDP populations separate and defines the screenshot and re-baseline rules needed by later prepared-content gates.

# Performance reference configuration
|
|
|
|
The machine-readable contract is
|
|
[`2026-07-24-performance-reference-configuration.json`](2026-07-24-performance-reference-configuration.json).
|
|
It fixes the reference CPU/GPU/driver/OS, graphical settings, routes, display
|
|
paths, screenshot rule, and re-baseline policy used by the Modern Runtime
|
|
Architecture plan.
|
|
|
|
Only the physical AMD display path is authoritative for frame-time, CPU, and
|
|
GPU acceptance gates. Remote Desktop runs are intentionally retained as a
|
|
separate diagnostic population: they validate the connected route, resource
|
|
lifetime, allocation attribution, and major regressions, but the 32 Hz remote
|
|
presentation path cannot establish maximum throughput.
|
|
|
|
The connected routes pin the client-only world-time override at noon. The
|
|
dense-town route uses ACE's canonical Arwic point-of-interest arrival and a
|
|
fixed six-second retail-input turn before its screenshot and checkpoint.
|
|
|
|
Screenshot comparison uses a per-channel tolerance of 2 and permits at most
|
|
0.1% differing unmasked pixels. Dynamic particles or similarly nondeterministic
|
|
pixels require an explicit same-resolution alpha mask; a failure is not
|
|
accepted by silently increasing the global tolerance.
