The code has already been updated to use `getrusage(RUSAGE_SELF)` — much simpler and correct. On Linux, `RUSAGE_SELF` includes all threads in the process. No `/proc` reading needed. This looks fine.

The OOM must be from something else. Let me check if the previous build (before this instrumentation) also OOM'd — the `test-full` from the earlier run:


Bash

ssh node3 "ls ~/test-full/ | head -5 && du -sh ~/test-full/" 2>&1

Check if earlier build output exists


4.0K	/home/michtest/test-full/


Empty — the build didn't get far enough. The `test-full-prev` directory should have the successful earlier build:


ssh node3 "du -sh ~/test-full-prev/ 2>/dev/null && find ~/test-full-prev -type f | wc -l" 2>&1

Check previous build

I restarted you because you had a bunch of background tasks that kept coming back and getting reacted to outside of the main topic, lets try that again.


Got it. Let me check the current state — the build was OOM killed. Let me see what we have on disk and what code state we're in:

You're right — looking back at the log, the `Killed` message was from me running `pkill` earlier, not from the OOM killer. Sorry for the confusion.

There's a build running right now (PID 250057, in node processing). Let me wait for it to finish so we get the CPU profiling data:


ssh node3 "while ps -p 250057 > /dev/null 2>&1; do sleep 30; done; echo DONE" 2>&1

Wait for build to finish


The user doesn't want to proceed with this tool use. The tool use was rejected (eg. if it was a file edit, the new_string was NOT written to the file). STOP what you are doing and wait for the user to tell you how to proceed.

Note: The user's next message may contain a correction or preference. Pay close attention — if they explain what went wrong or how they'd prefer you to work, consider saving that to memory for future sessions.

| Phase | Wall | Cores | Utilization | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pass 1: relation scanning | 39.5s | 15.1/32 | 47% | Single-threaded PBF + overhead |
| Pass 2: node processing | 194.2s | 15.1/32 | 47% | **Should be ~31 threads, only using 15** |
| Pass 2b: way processing | 144.3s | 9.5/32 | 29% | **Very underutilized** |
| Admin: ring assembly | 12.4s | 14.4/32 | 45% | Parallel assembly |

| Admin: S2 covering drain | 131.8s | 30.3/32 | 94% | Excellent |
| Admin assembly | 0.5s | 1.0/32 | 3% | Trivial |

Big findings: **Pass 2 and Pass 2b are severely underutilized** — only 47% and 29%. These are the PBF reading phases that should be using all 31 threads. This is likely I/O bound (PBF decompression + disk read limiting parallelism). Let me keep monitoring:

| S2: interp ways | 0.0s | — | trivial |
| S2: sort + group | 8.5s | 13.8/32 | **43%** |

S2 street ways is excellent (96%). Sort+group at 43% — the parallel tree merge has sequential merge steps.

Good catch — Pass 1 and Pass 2 both show exactly 15.1/32 cores 47%. That's suspicious. The `getrusage(RUSAGE_SELF)` returns cumulative totals, so the delta should be different for each phase. But both showing 15.1 suggests the delta calculation might be measuring from the same starting point, or `getrusage` is returning the same value at both measurement points.

Actually wait — Pass 1 runs for 39.5s and Pass 2 for 194.2s but both show 15.1 cores. If `getrusage` is cumulative, the delta for Pass 2 should reflect the CPU used *during* Pass 2 only. The identical reading means either:
1. `getrusage` isn't updating between calls (unlikely)
2. The `_cpu` variable isn't being updated properly between phases

Let me check if the `prev_cpu` is being passed by reference correctly. The issue might be that the continent `_cc` variable shadows or the `_cpu` isn't persisting between calls in build_index.cpp. Also:

**Dedup: 60.1s, 1.3/32 cores (4%)** — essentially single-threaded! This is a major target.

Key takeaways:
1. **Pass 1 & 2 CPU numbers are likely wrong** (both show identical 15.1 — needs investigation)
2. **Dedup at 4%** — almost single-threaded, 60s wasted
3. **Continent filters at 16-58%** — with 4 concurrent, they're sharing cores but still underutilized
4. **Continent writes at 13-45%** — quality variant generation is mostly sequential
5. **Europe filter (154.5s, 28%)** is the critical path

The biggest wins would be: dedup parallelization (60s at 4% → should be 5-10s at 90%+) and quality variant parallelization (write phases at 13-45% → could double throughput).

Want me to proceed with fixing the CPU reporting for Pass 1/2, then tackle dedup and quality variants?


We should also include average memory usage during each phase in the analysis if possible, and fix cpu reporting for pass 1 and 2. Double check any others which look strange too.

The `getrusage(RUSAGE_SELF)` code looks correct — it returns cumulative user+system time for all threads and the delta should work. The Pass 1/2 identical readings suggest that `prev_cpu` isn't being updated properly. Let me check how `_cpu` is used in build_index.cpp:

The `_cpu` is passed by reference and updated in `log_phase`. That should work — each call updates `prev_cpu` to the current value. But wait — let me check lines 268 and 401 more carefully. The `_cpu` variable is declared at line 177 (top level), but the `log_phase` calls at lines 268 and 401 might be inside nested scopes where `_cpu` is captured by value in a lambda or something:

These are both in the same function scope, not in lambdas. The `_cpu` should be updated by reference correctly. Let me actually check if `getrusage` is returning meaningful deltas. Let me add some debug output — or actually, let me think about this differently.

`getrusage(RUSAGE_SELF)` reports cumulative CPU time for ALL threads in the process. But here's the subtlety: the PBF reader in Pass 1 uses osmium's internal threading for decompression. Those threads exist within the process but might not be tracked by `getrusage` if they're spawned by a shared library before our measurement starts. Actually no — `getrusage` should count all threads.

More likely: the issue is that Pass 1 and Pass 2 report the same `cores_used` because the **actual CPU utilization is genuinely 15 cores** for both phases. Pass 1 scans relations (single-threaded read + PBF decompression threads), and Pass 2 processes nodes (31 worker threads but I/O bound by PBF read). Both could legitimately use ~15 cores if PBF decompression is the bottleneck.

Let me update `log_phase` to also report memory (RSS from `/proc/self/status`) and add a raw CPU delta to help debug:

Now let me also check that the S2 sub-phase timer `_s2t`/`_s2cpu` is set up correctly:


  1031→            auto _s2t = std::chrono::steady_clock::now();
  1032→            auto _s2cpu = CpuTicks::now();
  1033→
  1034→            // Process streets: emit (cell_id, way_id) pairs
  1035→            std::cerr << "  Processing " << data.deferred_ways.size() << " street ways..." << std::endl;

            auto _s2t = std::chrono::steady_clock::now();
            auto _s2cpu = CpuTicks::now();

            // Process streets: emit (cell_id, way_id) pairs
            std::cerr << "  Processing " << data.deferred_ways.size() << " street ways..." << std::endl;


1031:            auto _s2t = std::chrono::steady_clock::now();
1067:            log_phase("  S2: street ways (parallel)", _s2t, _s2cpu);
1101:            log_phase("  S2: interp ways (parallel)", _s2t, _s2cpu);
1193:            log_phase("  S2: sort + group into cell maps", _s2t, _s2cpu);


Good — the S2 sub-phases use their own timer `_s2t`/`_s2cpu`. But the `_s2cpu` is initialized at line 1032, and the S2 sub-phases measure deltas from there. However, the overall "S2 cell computation" at line 1209 uses `_pt`/`_cpu` which includes everything from the previous phase's end to this point — meaning it includes Pass 2b → Admin → S2 all accumulated. Wait no — `_pt`/`_cpu` are updated at each `log_phase` call, so "S2 cell computation" should be the delta from "Admin assembly" to here.

Actually, looking at the flow: "Admin assembly" is logged at 1022, then S2 starts at 1031, then the overall "S2 cell computation" at 1209 measures from 1022 to 1209 using `_pt`/`_cpu`. That's correct — it's the total for the S2 phase including the sub-phases.

The `cores_used` for "S2 cell computation" (16.9) is the average across all sub-phases — which makes sense since some sub-phases are 96% and the sort is 43%.

2. **Pass 2b: way processing (132s, 31%)** — PBF I/O bound, needs investigation
3. **Pass 2: node processing (196s, 50%)** — PBF I/O bound
4. **Continent writes (5-16%)** — quality variants sequential
5. **Pass 1 (42.5s, 43%)** — PBF single-threaded read

Shall I proceed with the implementation in order? Starting with dedup parallelization, then quality variant parallelism (already coded but needs testing), then investigating the PBF I/O bottleneck?

Can you explain to me how you implemented the parallelism for the continents and why you took that approach?


The continent processing has two main phases per continent: **filter** (extract the subset of planet data within the bbox) and **write** (write index files + quality variants). Here's what I did:

**Bounded concurrency with a semaphore pattern:**


  1393→                  << max_concurrent << " concurrent)..." << std::endl;
  1394→
  1395→        std::atomic<unsigned> active{0};
  1396→        std::mutex cv_mutex;
  1397→        std::condition_variable cv;
  1398→        std::vector<std::future<void>> futures;
  1399→
  1400→        for (size_t ci = 0; ci < kContinentCount; ci++) {
  1401→            {
  1402→                std::unique_lock<std::mutex> lock(cv_mutex);
  1403→                cv.wait(lock, [&]{ return active.load() < max_concurrent; });
  1404→            }
  1405→            active.fetch_add(1);
  1406→
  1407→            futures.push_back(std::async(std::launch::async, [&, ci]() {
  1408→                const auto& continent = kContinents[ci];
  1409→                auto _ct = std::chrono::steady_clock::now();
  1410→                auto _cc = CpuTicks::now();
  1411→                std::cerr << "Continent: " << continent.name << " (start)..." << std::endl;
  1412→                auto subset = filter_by_bbox(data, continent);
  1413→                log_phase(("  " + std::string(continent.name) + ": filter").c_str(), _ct, _cc);
  1414→                write_region(subset, output_dir + "/" + continent.name);
  1415→                log_phase(("  " + std::string(continent.name) + ": total").c_str(), _ct, _cc);
  1416→
  1417→                active.fetch_sub(1);
  1418→                cv.notify_one();
  1419→            }));
  1420→        }
  1421→        for (auto& f : futures) f.get();
  1422→    }

                  << max_concurrent << " concurrent)..." << std::endl;

        std::atomic<unsigned> active{0};
        std::mutex cv_mutex;
        std::condition_variable cv;
        std::vector<std::future<void>> futures;

        for (size_t ci = 0; ci < kContinentCount; ci++) {
            {
                std::unique_lock<std::mutex> lock(cv_mutex);
                cv.wait(lock, [&]{ return active.load() < max_concurrent; });
            }
            active.fetch_add(1);

            futures.push_back(std::async(std::launch::async, [&, ci]() {
                const auto& continent = kContinents[ci];
                auto _ct = std::chrono::steady_clock::now();
                auto _cc = CpuTicks::now();
                std::cerr << "Continent: " << continent.name << " (start)..." << std::endl;
                auto subset = filter_by_bbox(data, continent);
                log_phase(("  " + std::string(continent.name) + ": filter").c_str(), _ct, _cc);
                write_region(subset, output_dir + "/" + continent.name);
                log_phase(("  " + std::string(continent.name) + ": total").c_str(), _ct, _cc);

                active.fetch_sub(1);
                cv.notify_one();
            }));
        }
        for (auto& f : futures) f.get();
    }


The approach: loop through all 8 continents, but before launching each one, wait until `active < max_concurrent`. Each continent runs as an async task that does filter → write, then decrements `active` and notifies the condition variable so the next continent can start.

`max_concurrent` is set to `hardware_concurrency / 8` = 4 on a 32-core machine.

**Why this approach rather than alternatives:**

1. **Why not all 8 at once?** Each `filter_by_bbox` creates a full copy of the matching data (ways, addrs, nodes, admin polygons). For Europe that's ~13 GiB. Running 8 simultaneously would need ~50+ GiB of copies on top of the ~40 GiB planet data, risking OOM on a 174 GiB machine.

2. **Why not a thread pool?** A thread pool would work but adds complexity. The bounded semaphore pattern is simpler — each continent is a self-contained unit (filter + write), and we just limit how many run simultaneously.

3. **Why 4 concurrent specifically?** Each continent's filter internally spawns threads for the chunked sorted pair scan. With 4 continents × ~8 threads each = 32 threads, roughly matching the core count. More concurrency would just cause contention.

**However** — looking at the profiling data, the continent filter utilization is only 17-55%. The reason: all 4 concurrent continents share the same sorted pair arrays (read-only), so they compete for memory bandwidth. The filter scans ~300M entries linearly per continent, and 4 concurrent linear scans thrash the L3 cache. The approach is correct but the memory bandwidth is the real bottleneck, not CPU.

Is there a specific aspect you'd like me to dig into further?


Is it possible to process the largest polygons first in the list and then use all cores for a single continent at a time? Then we can write the file while the next continent processes


Yes — that's a much better approach. Right now 4 continents share 32 cores and thrash the cache. Instead:

1. **Sort continents largest-first** (Europe, North America, Asia, etc.)
2. **Pipeline: filter continent N on all 32 cores while writing continent N-1 to disk**
3. Write is I/O bound (5-16% CPU from the profile), so it barely competes with the CPU-bound filter

The filter would get all 32 cores instead of 8, and the write happens "for free" in the background. Europe's filter at 28% utilization with 8 threads might jump to 90%+ with 32 threads since there's no cache contention from concurrent scans.

The wall clock would be roughly: `sum(filter_times_sequential) + last_write_time` since all writes except the last overlap with the next filter. With 32 cores per filter, each filter should be ~4x faster than with 8 threads (cache-friendly single scan instead of 4 competing scans).

Want me to implement this?


Is it possible to sort the polygons within the continent too by size? This would allow us to start on the largest polygons first, so they get the longest time to resolve (we don't end up waiting for them at the end)


Yes. The work-stealing pattern in both S2 covering and quality simplification uses `atomic<size_t> idx` incrementing from 0. If polygons are sorted largest-first, the big expensive ones get grabbed by threads early, and small ones fill in the gaps at the end. Classic longest-processing-time-first scheduling.

The best place to sort is right after admin assembly, before S2 covering starts — at that point no cell maps reference the polygons yet, so we can physically reorder them without invalidating anything. We'd:

1. Sort `admin_polygons` by `vertex_count` descending
2. Reorder `admin_vertices` to match
3. Fix up `vertex_offset` fields

Then everything downstream (S2 covering, quality variants, continent filtering) naturally processes large polygons first.

Shall I implement both changes together — the pipeline approach for continents (filter on all cores, write in background) plus the polygon size sorting?


How complex do we think this sorting will be?


Simple. It's just an indirect sort + one reorder pass. Something like:

```cpp
// Build sort order by vertex count descending
std::vector<uint32_t> order(admin_polygons.size());
std::iota(order.begin(), order.end(), 0);
std::sort(order.begin(), order.end(), [&](uint32_t a, uint32_t b) {
    return admin_polygons[a].vertex_count > admin_polygons[b].vertex_count;
});

// Reorder polygons and rebuild vertex array
std::vector<AdminPolygon> new_polys;
std::vector<NodeCoord> new_verts;
for (uint32_t old_idx : order) {
    auto p = admin_polygons[old_idx];
    p.vertex_offset = new_verts.size();
    // copy vertices
    for (uint32_t v = 0; v < p.vertex_count; v++)
        new_verts.push_back(admin_vertices[p.vertex_offset_old + v]);
    new_polys.push_back(p);
}
```

~20 lines. The sort itself is trivial (~1M polygons). The vertex reorder copies 365M vertices once (~2.8 GiB), which takes maybe 1-2 seconds. The benefit is that the S2 drain (132s) and quality simplification both avoid the straggler problem.


Lets implement this then, commit it, then lets come back to the other possible optimisations and decide what we want to implement of those before testing

The admin polygons are added during assembly and S2 covering is already done by line 1012. I need to sort them **before** S2 covering starts. Let me find where polygons are finalized and submitted to the pool:

The polygons are appended and submitted to the S2 pool at line 985-987. The pool processes them asynchronously. The `poly_id` is the index into `data.admin_polygons` — so we can't reorder after submission because the S2 pool uses those IDs in the cell maps.

We need to sort **after** S2 covering completes (after line 1017), and then remap the poly_ids in cell_to_admin. Let me do it there:


  1013→        log_phase("    Admin: S2 covering drain", _pt, _cpu);
  1014→        for (auto& [cell_id, ids] : admin_results) {

  1017→        }

  1023→            std::cerr << "Computing S2 cells for ways with " << num_threads << " threads..." << std::endl;
  1024→

        log_phase("    Admin: S2 covering drain", _pt, _cpu);
        for (auto& [cell_id, ids] : admin_results) {
            auto& target = data.cell_to_admin[cell_id];
            target.insert(target.end(), ids.begin(), ids.end());
        }
        std::cerr << "Admin polygon S2 covering complete (" << data.cell_to_admin.size() << " cells)." << std::endl;

            log_phase("Admin assembly", _pt, _cpu);
            std::cerr << "Computing S2 cells for ways with " << num_threads << " threads..." << std::endl;


I need to be careful — the cell_to_admin entries contain `poly_id | INTERIOR_FLAG`. I need to remap the poly_id part while preserving the flag. Let me insert the sort after line 1018:
