ALLOWED CLAIM
ECHELEN/QPE recorded a replicated 516.49x to 561.78x GPU speedup, with a 543.15x mean, in the named addressable-gate benchmark on an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU, while returning the same validated winner and score as the blind full-space calculation.

NOT CLAIMED
- Universal 500x acceleration for arbitrary workloads.
- Quantum hardware execution or quantum advantage.
- A cryptographic break.
- Independent third-party replication.
- Byte-for-byte validation of historical raw runs without the original OUT_PASS90 directories.

MECHANISM MEASURED
The benchmark compares heavy scoring of all 128,000,000 candidates with direct generation and scoring of the 62,500 candidates in an exactly addressable valid subspace. It measures algorithmic work avoidance plus implementation performance for this workload.
