## Architecture Components
### 1. Acceleration Router (`src/acceleration-router.ts`)
The intelligent router that selects the optimal acceleration tier.
**Key Features:**
- Automatic size-based routing
- Graceful fallback chain: GPU → Workers → WASM → mathjs
- Performance tracking and statistics
- Zero configuration required
**Routing Strategy:**
| Operation Size | Acceleration Tier | Expected Performance |
|---------------|-------------------|----------------------|
| Small (< 10×10) | mathjs | Baseline |
| Medium (10-100) | WASM | 14x faster |
| Large (100-500) | WebWorkers | 56x faster (14x × 4x) |
| Massive (500+) | WebGPU | 5600x faster (14x × 4x × 100x) |
**Example:**
```typescript
import { routedMatrixMultiply } from './acceleration-router.js';
// Automatically routed to optimal tier
const { result, tier } = await routedMatrixMultiply(matrixA, matrixB);
console.log(`Used acceleration tier: ${tier}`); // "wasm", "workers", or "gpu"
```
### 2. WASM Layer (`src/wasm-wrapper.ts`)
Single-threaded WASM acceleration using AssemblyScript.
**Accelerated Operations:**
- Matrix: multiply, determinant, transpose, add, subtract
- Statistics: mean, median, mode, std, variance, min, max, sum
**Performance:**
- Matrix multiply: 8x faster (10×10+)
- Determinant: 17x faster (5×5+)
- Statistics: 15-42x faster (100+ elements)
**Thresholds:**
```typescript
{
matrix_multiply: 10, // Use WASM for 10×10+ matrices
matrix_det: 5, // Use WASM for 5×5+ matrices
matrix_transpose: 20, // Use WASM for 20×20+ matrices
statistics: 100, // Use WASM for 100+ elements
}
```
### 3. WebWorker Layer (`src/workers/`)
Multi-threaded parallel processing using Web Workers.
**Architecture:**
```
WorkerPool (2-8 workers)
├── TaskQueue (priority-based scheduling)
├── Worker 1 (WASM-enabled)
├── Worker 2 (WASM-enabled)
└── Worker N (WASM-enabled)
```
**Key Features:**
- Dynamic worker scaling (based on CPU cores)
- Load balancing and task queue
- Each worker has independent WASM instance
- Automatic chunk size optimization
**Accelerated Operations:**
- Parallel matrix multiply (row-based chunking)
- Parallel matrix transpose
- Parallel matrix add/subtract
- Parallel statistics (chunk-based reduction)
**Performance:**
- Matrix multiply: 3-4x faster than WASM alone
- Statistics: 3-4x faster than WASM alone
**Thresholds:**
```typescript
{
MATRIX_MULTIPLY: 100, // Use workers for 100×100+ matrices
MATRIX_TRANSPOSE: 200, // Use workers for 200×200+ matrices
MATRIX_ADD_SUB: 200, // Use workers for 200×200+ matrices
BASIC_STATS: 100000, // Use workers for 100k+ elements
}
```
### 4. WebGPU Layer (`src/gpu/webgpu-wrapper.ts`)
GPU-accelerated computing using WebGPU compute shaders.
**Status:** Implemented but disabled in Node.js (requires browser environment)
**Features:**
- Compute shaders for matrix operations
- Parallel reduction for statistics
- Workgroup-based parallelism
**Future Availability:**
- Browser environments with WebGPU support
- Deno with WebGPU enabled
**Performance Targets:**
- Matrix multiply: 50-100x faster than WebWorkers
- Statistics: 100x faster than WebWorkers
**Thresholds:**
```typescript
{
matrix_multiply: 500, // Use GPU for 500×500+ matrices
matrix_transpose: 1000, // Use GPU for 1000×1000+ matrices
statistics: 1000000, // Use GPU for 1M+ elements
}
```

## Usage
### Basic Usage (Automatic Routing)
```typescript
import { accelerationAdapter } from './acceleration-adapter.js';
import { handleMatrixOperations } from './tool-handlers.js';
// Automatically routes through optimal acceleration tier
const result = await handleMatrixOperations(
{
operation: 'multiply',
matrix_a: JSON.stringify([[1,2],[3,4]]),
matrix_b: JSON.stringify([[5,6],[7,8]]),
},
accelerationAdapter
);
```
### Advanced Usage (Direct Routing)
```typescript
import {
routedMatrixMultiply,
getRoutingStats,
AccelerationTier,
} from './acceleration-router.js';
// Get result with tier information
const { result, tier } = await routedMatrixMultiply(a, b);
if (tier === AccelerationTier.GPU) {
console.log('Used GPU acceleration!');
}
// View routing statistics
const stats = getRoutingStats();
console.log(`Acceleration rate: ${stats.accelerationRate}`);
console.log(`GPU usage: ${stats.gpuUsage} operations`);
```

## Implementation Details
### Acceleration Adapter
The adapter implements the `AccelerationWrapper` interface and provides a clean API for tool handlers:
```typescript
export class AccelerationAdapter implements AccelerationWrapper {
async matrixMultiply(a: number[][], b: number[][]): Promise<number[][]> {
const { result } = await routedMatrixMultiply(a, b);
return result;
}
// ... other methods
}
```
### Worker Pool Management
```typescript
class WorkerPool {
private workers: Map<string, WorkerMetadata>;
private taskQueue: TaskQueue;
async initialize(): Promise<void> {
// Create minimum workers
// Start idle monitoring
}
async execute<T>(request: {
operation: OperationType;
data: any;
}): Promise<T> {
// Enqueue task
// Schedule on idle worker
// Return result
}
async shutdown(): Promise<void> {
// Graceful shutdown
}
}
```
### Chunking Strategies
**Matrix Operations (Row-based):**
```typescript
// Split matrix A into row chunks
// Each worker processes: chunk × B
// Merge results: concatenate row chunks
```
**Statistics Operations (Array-based):**
```typescript
// Split array into equal chunks
// Each worker processes: local reduction
// Merge results: final reduction on main thread
```

## Configuration
### Environment Variables
```bash
# Disable performance tracking (slightly faster)
DISABLE_PERF_TRACKING=true
# Enable detailed performance logging
ENABLE_PERF_LOGGING=true
# Configure worker pool
MAX_WORKERS=8
MIN_WORKERS=2
TASK_TIMEOUT=30000
# Configure operation timeouts
DEFAULT_OPERATION_TIMEOUT=30000
```
### Worker Pool Configuration
```typescript
const pool = new WorkerPool({
maxWorkers: 8, // Maximum concurrent workers
minWorkers: 2, // Minimum workers to keep alive
workerIdleTimeout: 60000, // Terminate idle workers after 1 min
taskTimeout: 30000, // Task timeout in ms
maxQueueSize: 1000, // Maximum pending tasks
enablePerformanceTracking: false,
});
```
---
## Error Handling
### Fallback Chain
```typescript
try {
// Try GPU
return await gpuOperation();
} catch (gpuError) {
try {
// Fall back to Workers
return await workerOperation();
} catch (workerError) {
try {
// Fall back to WASM
return await wasmOperation();
} catch (wasmError) {
// Final fallback to mathjs
return mathjsOperation();
}
}
}
```
### Worker Error Recovery
- Worker crashes are automatically detected
- Failed workers are recycled and replaced
- Tasks are reassigned to healthy workers
- Worker pool maintains minimum size
---
## Monitoring and Debugging
### Routing Statistics
```typescript
import { getRoutingStats } from './acceleration-router.js';
const stats = getRoutingStats();
console.log('Routing Statistics:', {
totalOps: stats.totalOps,
accelerationRate: stats.accelerationRate,
breakdown: {
mathjs: stats.mathjsUsage,
wasm: stats.wasmUsage,
workers: stats.workersUsage,
gpu: stats.gpuUsage,
},
});
```
### Worker Pool Statistics
```typescript
const poolStats = workerPool.getStats();
console.log('Worker Pool Statistics:', {
totalWorkers: poolStats.totalWorkers,
idleWorkers: poolStats.idleWorkers,
busyWorkers: poolStats.busyWorkers,
queueSize: poolStats.queueSize,
tasksCompleted: poolStats.tasksCompleted,
tasksFailed: poolStats.tasksFailed,
avgExecutionTime: poolStats.avgExecutionTime,
uptime: poolStats.uptime,
});
```

---
## Migration Guide
### From v2.x to v3.0
**No breaking changes!** The API remains backward compatible.
**Old code (still works):**
```typescript
import * as wasmWrapper from './wasm-wrapper.js';
const result = await handleMatrixOperations(args, wasmWrapper);
```
**New code (recommended):**
```typescript
import { accelerationAdapter } from './acceleration-adapter.js';
const result = await handleMatrixOperations(args, accelerationAdapter);
```
**Benefits:**
- Automatic multi-tier acceleration
- Better performance for large operations
- No code changes required for small operations
---
## Troubleshooting
### Issue: Workers not being used
**Cause:** Data size below worker threshold
**Solution:** Workers only activate for large operations (100×100+ matrices, 100k+ arrays)
### Issue: Performance regression for small operations
**Cause:** Worker/GPU overhead
**Solution:** Adjust thresholds or disable acceleration for specific sizes
### Issue: Worker pool initialization fails
**Cause:** Environment doesn't support worker_threads
**Solution:** Automatic fallback to WASM/mathjs (no action needed)
### Issue: Out of memory errors
**Cause:** Too many concurrent workers or large data
**Solution:** Reduce maxWorkers or implement data streaming
