The matching engine (pkg/lx, 45.5K LOC incl. tests) and the deterministic
core layered on it (pkg/dex) are one matcher spread across two packages
(dex imported lx in 12 files; lx imported neither). Fold lx into dex and
drop the "lx" name entirely — pkg/dex is now the single matcher package.
Pure rename/fold, ZERO logic change. Behavior proven identical: the merged
pkg/dex runs 457 top-level tests (431 former-lx + 26 former-dex) and 489
test funcs (468 + 21), all green — matching, batch (BatchMatchEqualsSequential,
run-to-run determinism, tile boundary), GPU/CPU parity, truncation, and CL
swap math all pass unchanged.
What moved:
- git mv all 101 pkg/lx/*.go + 1 .c into pkg/dex/ (package lx -> package dex).
- lx's swap_test.go -> swap_math_test.go (only filename collision with dex's
existing swap_test.go).
- Rewrote imports repo-wide: 54 pkg/lx import lines removed; 42 external
importers (api, client, consensus, dchain, dpdk, lxgpu, marketdata, test/,
tests/) repointed to pkg/dex with lx.X -> dex.X; the 12 in-package dex files
had lx.X -> bare X. 717 selector lines rewritten. Stale pkg/lx comment refs
updated (pkg/lxgpu left intact).
Collisions resolved (2, both package-level vars):
- ErrNoLiquidity: lx's pool-level error (dexError, used only in swap.go, never
referenced via qualifier) renamed ErrPoolNoLiquidity to match the existing
ErrPool* convention; dex's router-level ErrNoLiquidity (public, has errors.Is
tests) kept.
- priceMultiplierBig: identical after fold (both big.NewInt(PriceMultiplier));
deduped by deleting dex's copy.
Not folded — pkg/orderbook: it is NOT the GPU seam (that is orderbook_gpu.go,
which lives in the engine and folded in here). pkg/orderbook is a zero-importer,
placeholder-cgo island whose 13 core domain identifiers (Order, OrderBook, Trade,
OrderType, OrderStatus, PriceLevel, Buy, Sell, Market, Limit, Filled,
PartiallyFilled, NewOrderBook) collide incompatibly with the engine's. Folding
it verbatim breaks the build; folding via rename reintroduces the exact parallel
duplication this fold removes. Left for owner decision (recommend deletion as
dead code) — see refactor notes.
Follow-on (separate repos, not touched): 19 files under luxfi/dex import
pkg/lx externally — lux/precompile/dex, lux/precompile-dex/dex,
lux/consensus/examples/01-simple-bridge, lux/_consensus-v12537/examples,
lux/cex/pkg/engine — repoint to pkg/dex after this lands.
Verified: CGO_ENABLED=0 GOWORK=off go build ./... clean; go vet ./... clean;
go test ./... -count=1 all green (22 ok / 0 fail).

CORRECTION 2 (AMM GPU rip): the constant-product xy=k AMM runs on-chain in
the EVM/consensus — GPU-accelerating it was a hallucination. Remove the GPU
AMM surface: pkg/lx/amm_gpu{,_cuda,_metal,_stub}.go + amm_nogpu.go (the
BatchEvalConstantProduct dispatcher) + amm_gpu_test.go; strip the AMM bridge
(AMMSwap, fnAMMSwap, call_amm_xyk_batch, LuxAmmReservePair) from pkg/lxgpu so
it bridges only the order-book path; drop the obsolete GPU_Batch sub-bench.
PRESERVED: pkg/lx/amm.go (ConstantProductOut/ReservePair/BatchEvalConstantProductCPU,
the 128-bit-exact CPU math) — it is the deterministic pricing used by the DEX
router's AMM source (pkg/dex/source_amm.go), untouched.
CORRECTION 1 (clob→dex): rename Go identifiers clobGPUMatch→dexGPUMatch,
clobShadowInput→dexShadowInput, runCLOBShadow→runDEXShadow,
captureCLOBShadowLocked→captureDEXShadowLocked, clobBackendLabel→dexBackendLabel,
clobScenario→dexScenario, TestCLOB*→TestDEX*, MatchDivergence.Kind "clob"→"dex".
CORRECTION 3 (host drivers): add orderbook_gpu_hip.go (cgo && linux && hip &&
!vulkan) and orderbook_gpu_vulkan.go (cgo && linux && vulkan), mirroring the
CUDA binding; narrow orderbook_gpu_cuda.go to (cgo && linux && !hip && !vulkan)
so exactly one backend compiles per linux tag combo (verified via go list).
Verified: CGO_ENABLED=0 go build ./... GREEN; go test ./pkg/lx ./pkg/dex
./pkg/dchain GREEN; gofmt clean; cgo bridge compiles; build-tag exclusivity
confirmed for ''/hip/vulkan.
ONE matching path: BackendGo (CPU). The pretend-acceleration cruft
is gone.
Removed (archive/lp108-2026-05-04/):
* pkg/engine/mlx_engine.go — claimed MLX-accelerated processing.
Real body was time.Sleep simulating GPU work + a hardcoded
597 ns/order constant. No Metal Performance Shaders, no MLX
device, no kernel.
* pkg/engine/mlx_engine_test.go — tested the stub.
* pkg/lx/fpga_accelerator.go — 484 LoC FPGA "accelerator". No
bitstream, no driver, interface-only.
* pkg/lx/fpga_accelerator_test.go — tested the stub itself
("DisabledFPGA returns error").
* pkg/fpga/* — 8 files, ~3K LoC of FPGA interfaces (amd_versal,
aws_f2, fpga_engine, fpga_interface, types, stubs + tests).
Interface-only. No hardware path.
Surgical edits to keep the rest of the test surface compiling:
* pkg/lx/orderbook.go::detectBestBackend — collapsed. Used to set
currentBackend to BackendGo/CGO/MLX/CUDA based on env probes;
nothing branched on the enum so the matching engine ran the Go
path regardless. Now: const Backend = BackendGo only. Removed
unused "os" + "runtime" imports.
* pkg/lx/critical_path_bench_test.go::BenchmarkFPGAAcceleration —
removed (called NewFPGAAccelerator).
* pkg/lx/coverage_improvement_test.go::TestFPGAAccelerator* —
removed (3 tests calling NewFPGAAccelerator).
* test/benchmark/orderbook_bench_test.go::BenchmarkMLXEngine —
removed. Called the standard CPU OrderBook then reported
b.ReportMetric(597, "ns/order") as a hardcoded literal.
* test/benchmark/orderbook_bench_test.go::BenchmarkPlanetScale —
removed. Entirely fabricated metrics (markets=5M, orders/sec=150M,
ns/order=597, watts=370, orders/watt=405405). No code in the
repo measured any of those.
What's left:
* BenchmarkOrderBook — real CPU path measurement
* BenchmarkOrderBookParallel — real CPU path measurement
* All match logic, order types, vault/margin/clearinghouse, etc.
Real measured numbers for the matching engine come from
luxcpp/dex/build/luxdex_bench (5.51 M orders/sec single-symbol on
Apple M1 Max). Anything labeled "GPU" or "FPGA" in benchmark
output of this repo is now removed because it didn't measure
GPU or FPGA work.
Verification on M1 Max:
* GOWORK=off go build ./pkg/lx/... ./test/benchmark/... — clean
* GOWORK=off go test -run='TestOrderBook$|TestNewOrderBook' ./pkg/lx/ — PASS
When real GPU/FPGA matching ships: add the variants back AND wire
through the match path AND a parity test vs BackendGo AND a
reproducible benchmark. LP-108 production gate applies.
