🔸CPI: \+0\.9% m/m, \+3\.3% y/y \(in line / slightly soft\)

A mild downside surprise—but not enough to shift policy\.

Lol, of course this simply isn't true. It happens to lots of subs, and almost all of the ones focused on any kind of drama. Meltdown, too!

First thing is to add some logs with nanosecond precision that you can disable at compile time to the functions on the host path.
Is your thread pinned on a core?
Is this core isolated?
Is your CPU on the "performance" governor?
Even if it is, it will most likely not stay at peak frequency at all time, and it will need some time to bump its frequency ("cpufreq-info -c YOUR_LOGICAL_CORE_INDEX" will tell you how much time max it needs to reach the maximum frequency).
Are you allocating any memory on the hot path?
If you're not, do you use any library that could?
If not, are you writing on a pre-allocated chunk of memory for the first time on the hot path? (that will cause only one spike though)
If you are sharing data between threads, where are these threads located (which logical cores?) and how to they communicate?
You mentioned lock-free queues in your previous post: did you write the queue yourself?
If yes, did you pay attention about not having false sharing?
Did you test the queue in isolation to see how it was performing?
For the more complex indicators, how many data points do you use?
Do you calculate the indicators by looping manually over these data points or do you use simd instructions?
Is you data layout cache-friendly?
Do you/can you precompute as much as you can of these indicators before you get your signal, and then just add it to get the final indicators?
Do the libraries you use require you to copy the data into specific data structures (for example big arrays) in order for them to do their job?
If you have other threads running one the same core, are you keeping the instructions cache warm for the hot path code? (even though it should not cause a difference that dramatic)
First use perf (perf stat for immediate output, perf record to analyze the run with a tool like kcachegrind) to count the cycles, context switches, cache/branche misses, page-faults, ... (you can filter for the function you want to observe) and strace to see if you don't have any system calls where you should not.

On another note: One of the reasons I will forever be involved with GME is the fact that after over 5 years, this is the ONLY subreddit on this goddamn site that is prohibited from using the CORE functions of Reddit like crossposting and tagging users.
After 5+ years we still can’t post unredacted screenshots of comments on our own sub from fellow users. Huge red flag. Straight BS.

US FEB. CORE PCE PRICE INDEX RISES 3.0% Y/Y; EST. +3.0%
US FEB. PERSONAL SPENDING RISES 0.5% M/M; EST. +0.6%
US FEB. CORE PCE PRICE INDEX RISES 0.4% M/M; EST. +0.4%
US 4Q FINAL GDP +0.5% VS PRELIM GDP +0.7%

i told you 3 times already that the base CORE of your operation is WRONG!
Your winrate is low AND your average winner is MUCH lower than your average loser.
If you put 2+2 together you can see there is no real mathematical advantage there.
