## Summary Replace the `BinaryNode` interface with `NodeRef uint32` indices into typed arena pools, eliminating GC-scanned pointers from binary trie nodes. Inspired by [fjl's observation](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/pull/34034#issuecomment-4075176446): > *"if the binary trie produces such a large graph, it should probably be changed so that the trie node type does not contain pointers. The runtime does not scan objects that do not contain pointers, so it can really help with the performance to build it this way."* ### The problem CPU profiling of the binary trie (EIP-7864) showed **44% of CPU time in garbage collection**. Each `InternalNode` held two `BinaryNode` interface values (2 pointer-words each), and the GC scanned every one. With ~25K `InternalNode`s in memory during block processing, this created enormous GC pressure. ### The solution `NodeRef` is a compact `uint32` (2-bit kind tag + 30-bit pool index). `NodeStore` manages chunked typed pools per node kind: - **InternalNode pool**: ZERO Go pointers (children are `NodeRef`, hash is `[32]byte`) → noscan spans - **HashedNode pool**: ZERO Go pointers → noscan spans - **StemNode pool**: retains `Values [][]byte` (matching existing format) The serialization format is unchanged — flat InternalNode `[type][leftHash][rightHash]` = 65 bytes. ## Benchmark: Apple M4 Pro (`--benchtime=10s --count=3`, on top of #34021) | Metric | Baseline | Arena | Delta | |--------|----------|-------|-------| | Approve (Mgas/s) | 374 | 382 | **+2.1%** | | BalanceOf (Mgas/s) | 885 | 901 | **+1.8%** | | Approve allocs/op | 775K | **607K** | **-21.7%** | | BalanceOf allocs/op | 265K | **228K** | **-14.0%** | ## Benchmark: AMD EPYC 48-core (50GB state, execution-specs ERC-20, on top of #34021 + #34032) | Benchmark | Baseline | Arena | Delta | |-----------|----------|-------|-------| | erc20_approve (write) | 22.4 Mgas/s | **27.0 Mgas/s** | **+20.5%** | | mixed_sload_sstore | 62.9 Mgas/s | **97.3 Mgas/s** | **+54.7%** | | erc20_balanceof (read) | 180.8 Mgas/s | 167.6 Mgas/s | -7.3% (cold cache variance) | The arena benefit scales with heap size — the EPYC (larger heap, more GC pressure) shows much larger gains than the M4 Pro (efficient unified memory). The mixed workload baseline was unstable (62.9 vs 16.3 Mgas/s between runs due to GC-induced throughput collapse); the arena eliminates this entirely (95-97 Mgas/s, stable). ## Dependencies Benchmarked with #34021 (H01 N+1 fix) + #34032 (R14 parallel hashing). No code dependency — applies independently to master. All test suites pass (`trie/bintrie` with `-race`, `core/state`, `triedb/pathdb`, `cmd/geth`). --------- Co-authored-by: Guillaume Ballet <3272758+gballet@users.noreply.github.com>
