// Benchmark the minimal latency of checking if a key is contained within a map,

// the *minimal* latency, it is more similar to a throughput benchmark.
//
// While this is structured to observe the latency of testing for presence of a
// key, it is important to understand the reality of what this measures. Because
// the boolean result testing for whether a key is in a map is fundamentally
// provided not by accessing some data, but by branching on data to a control
// flow path which sets the boolean to `true` or `false`, the result can be
// speculatively provided based on predicting the conditional branch without
// waiting for the results of the comparison to become available. And because
// this is a small operation and we arrange for all the candidate keys to be
// present, that branch *should* be predicted extremely well. The result is that
// this measures the un-speculated latency of testing for presence which should
// be small or zero. Which is why this is ultimately more similar to a
// throughput benchmark.
//
// Because of these measurement oddities, the specific measurements here may not
// be very interesting for predicting real-world performance in any way, but
// they are useful for comparing how 'cheap' the operation is across changes to
// the data structure or between similar data structures with similar

// generally expect the data structure branches to be well predicted. But we
// vary the keys aggressively to avoid any prediction artifacts from repeatedly
// examining the same key.
//
// This latency can be very helpful for understanding a range of data structure

// - Many users of hashtables are directly dependent on the latency of this

// - Showing how latency varies across different sizes of table and different

//
// However, it remains an ultimately synthetic and unrepresentative benchmark.
// It should primarily be used to understand the relative cost of these
// operations between versions of the data structure or between related data
// structures.
//
// We vary both the number of entries in the table and the number of distinct
// keys used when doing lookups. As the table becomes large, the latter dictates
// the fraction of the table that will be accessed and thus the working set size
// of the benchmark. Querying the same small number of keys in even a large
// table doesn't actually encounter any cache pressure, so only a few of these
