1// sketch_lc_vs_hll_small_n_bench.nx -- LC sweet-spot paired bench.
2//
3// CLAIM TO VALIDATE:
4// Linear Counter (Whang-Vander Zanden 1990) is exact-bit per insert
5// with collision-driven variance. At small N where bit-collisions
6// are rare (N << m), LC's estimator is tighter than HLL's, which
7// pays a constant overhead for the rho-based ranks even when the
8// counts are small.
9//
10// The substrate ships both; LC's documented sweet spot is "small-N".
11// Bench verifies the cross-over: at N <= m/4, LC should win on
12// accuracy at matched memory.
13//
14// WORKLOAD:
15// N = 200 distinct keys.
16// LC m_bits = 1024 (128 bytes regs)
17// HLL lg_k = 7 (m = 128 regs * 8 bits = 1024 bits = 128 bytes total)
18// Both at ~128 byte register footprint.
19//
20// MEASUREMENT:
21// ACCURACY: closer to truth=200 wins.
