The Technology

Why LOCI Thinks Ahead.

LOCI predicts software behavior from real workloads and platform traces — not source code alone.

Why source code isn’t enough

Source code explains intent. Execution reveals reality.

  • Cache misses
  • Memory pressure
  • Power spikes

Source code cannot reveal runtime behavior by itself.

Why LOCI works

Four reasons the predictions hold.

Real execution traces

  • Years of traces from open-source software on real hardware
  • Real workloads — not synthetic benchmarks
  • Billions of execution traces, and growing

Binary-first

  • Reads the compiled binary — ELF, Mach-O, PTX/SASS, Wasm
  • The source language is an input, not a constraint
  • The binary encodes how the code will run

Physics-bounded

  • Every prediction has a measured floor and ceiling
  • Numeric, physical quantities — ns, watts, cycles
  • Cannot hallucinate a value outside observed bounds

Hardware-validated

  • Predictions match measured silicon
  • Verified against Lauterbach (TRACE32) hardware
  • Reproducible — same binary in, same signals out
Execution Intelligence

Frontier LLM vs LOCI.

Frontier LLM

  • Reads source
  • Predicts text
  • General reasoning
  • Internet training

LOCI

  • Reads binaries
  • Predicts execution
  • Real workloads
  • Platform traces

General intelligence writes code. Execution intelligence predicts what it will do.

The signals

What LOCI predicts.

Timing

Per-function response time before it runs.

Latency

p95 / p99 bounds, predicted from the binary.

Power

Per-function energy cost, ahead of time.

Memory

Worst-case stack depth and pressure.

CPU

Throughput and scheduling behavior.

GPU

Occupancy, register spills, kernel cost.

Cache

Modeled miss-rate on the hot blocks.

System effects

Wake cadence and power-state cost.
