Run T-0167 rejected

· Evidence: SPRT Sequential probability ratio test. Games are played until the accumulated evidence reaches one of two bounds; then the test stops.

Hypothesis

Updating int16 accumulators via a runtime-selected routine using 512-bit words (32 instead of 16 sums per step) on processors with AVX-512F and AVX-512BW yields bit-identical accumulators and an unchanged search tree. This increases the node rate on these processors and improves playing strength under time controls.

Point estimate with the reported 95-percent half-width, per stage. The dashed line is zero. Estimates from a stopped sequential test are biased by the stopping rule; the interval is nominal.
