Ettore Di Giacinto f7500df64e docs(paged): staggered-arrival evaluation of patch 0016 dynamic budget
The prior all-at-once BURST H2H is adversarial to any prefill budget (TTFT is
prefill-rate-bound, a cap only slows the drain) and showed 0016 ~= 0013. Run a
STAGGERED-arrival benchmark on the GB10 DGX (patch 0016 built @253cbae): a
steady-rate client that keeps a mix of in-flight decoders + newly-arriving
prefills, capturing per-request TTFT and the full inter-token-latency series.

Append the metrics (in-flight decode protection + new-request TTFT, per arm) and
an honest verdict to P1_DYNAMIC_BUDGET_RESULTS.md. On staggered traffic stock's
in-flight decoders freeze multi-second on every prefill admission while both
budget arms keep ITL flat; 0016 (mbt512) sits at a strictly better point on the
protection/TTFT frontier than 0013-256 (equal spike-free protection, materially
lower TTFT/throughput/wall) and adds a decode-adaptive single-T knob. It does not
strictly dominate stock (Pareto tradeoff: smoothness vs raw TTFT). Verdict: 0016
earns its keep over 0013 on staggered traffic; recommend LLAMA_MAX_BATCH_TOKENS=512.
