Workload & symmetry rules

Workload

Sum 1..1,000,000 in a single tight loop, print the result mod 2^32.

Why this benchmark exists

It's the simplest possible interpreter workload. If dispatch dominates anything, it dominates this. End-to-end mode is therefore mostly startup time; inner-loop mode is mostly add+jump throughput.

Symmetry rules

One loop, two locals, no function calls in the hot path.
No sum() / numpy / strconv shortcuts.
