+The strided-perm/src/hptt/ module implements an algorithm based on the HPTT
+library by Paul Springer, Tong Su, and Paolo Bientinesi. This is an
+independent Rust reimplementation; no C++ source code was copied.

 ## Techniques
 
 1. **Bilateral dimension fusion** -- fuse consecutive dimensions that are
-   contiguous in *both* source and destination stride patterns.
-2. **Cache-aware blocking** -- tile iterations to fit in L1 cache (32 KB).
-3. **Optimal loop ordering** -- place the stride-1 dimension innermost for
-   sequential memory access; sort outer dimensions by descending stride.
-4. **Rank-specialized kernels** -- tight 1D/2D/3D blocked loops with no
-   allocation overhead; generic N-D fallback with pre-allocated odometer.
-5. **Optional Rayon parallelism** (`parallel` feature) -- parallelize the
-   outermost block loop via `rayon::par_iter`.
+   contiguous in *both* source and destination stride patterns
+   (equivalent to HPTT's `fuseIndices`).
+2. **2D micro-kernel transpose** -- 4×4 scalar kernel for f64, 8×8 for f32.
+3. **Macro-kernel blocking** -- BLOCK × BLOCK tile (16 for f64, 32 for f32)
+   processed as a grid of micro-kernel calls, with scalar edge handling.
+4. **Recursive ComputeNode loop nest** -- mirrors HPTT's linked-list loop
+   structure; only stride-1 dims get blocked.
+5. **ConstStride1 fast path** -- when src and dst stride-1 dims coincide,
+   uses memcpy/strided-copy instead of the 2D transpose kernel.
+6. **Optional Rayon parallelism** (`parallel` feature) -- parallelize the
+   outermost ComputeNode dimension via `rayon::par_iter`.
+
+### TODO
+
+- **SIMD micro-kernels** -- the current scalar 4×4/8×8 kernels rely on LLVM
+  auto-vectorization. Dedicated AVX2/NEON intrinsic kernels could further
+  close the gap with HPTT C++.
 
 ## Benchmark Results
 
-Environment: Linux, AMD 64-core server, `RUSTFLAGS="-C target-cpu=native"`.
+Environment: Apple M2, 8 cores, macOS.
 
 All tensors use `f64` (8 bytes). "16M elements" = 128 MB read + 128 MB write.

 ### Notes
 
 - **Scattered 24d**: 24 binary dimensions with non-contiguous strides from a
   real tensor-network workload. Parallel improvement is modest because bilateral
   fusion leaves few outer blocks to distribute.
-- **256^3 transpose**: Parallel execution yields dramatic speedup (16x) by
-  exploiting the large L3 cache and memory bandwidth of the 64-core machine.
-  Single-threaded performance is TLB-limited due to stride-65536 access.
+- **Small tensor reverse**: Slower than naive because plan construction overhead
+  dominates at 8K elements. The cyclic permutation fuses to fewer dims and is
+  much faster.
+- **256^3 transpose [2,0,1]**: Parallel speedup is limited because the outermost
+  ComputeNode dimension is small after bilateral fusion.
 - **Small tensor**: Below `MINTHREADLENGTH` (32K elements), the parallel path
   falls back to single-threaded, incurring no overhead.
