## How to Use

### 1. Apply Configuration

**GPU Settings:**
```bash
# Set persistence mode
sudo nvidia-smi -pm 1

# Lock to max clocks
sudo nvidia-smi -lgc 2100

# Set power limit
sudo nvidia-smi -pl 450
```

**System Settings:**
```bash
# Apply kernel tuning
sudo sysctl -w net.core.rmem_max=134217728
sudo sysctl -w net.core.wmem_max=134217728
sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_rmem="4096 87380 67108864"
sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_wmem="4096 65536 67108864"
```

**Network Settings:**
```bash
# Enable jumbo frames
sudo ethtool -K eth0 tso on gso on gro on

# Increase ring buffer
sudo ethtool -G eth0 rx 4096 tx 4096
```

### 2. Enable Optimized Components

**In your Python code:**
```python
from src.performance import AdaptivePerformanceManager, PerformanceProfiler

# Start profiler
profiler = PerformanceProfiler(enable_continuous_sampling=True)
profiler.start()

# Start adaptive manager
manager = AdaptivePerformanceManager(mode=PerformanceMode.BALANCED)
manager.start()

# Use profiler
with profiler.section("process_frame"):
    result = process_frame(frame)

# Update metrics
manager.update_metrics(fps, latency_ms, gpu_util)

# Get optimized resolution
width, height = manager.get_current_resolution()
```

**Use optimized CUDA kernels:**
```python
# Instead of:
# from voxel_optimizer import VoxelOptimizer

# Use:
from voxel_optimizer_v2 import VoxelOptimizerV2

optimizer = VoxelOptimizerV2(
    center=Vec3f(0, 0, 0),
    voxel_size=0.1,
    res_x=500, res_y=500, res_z=500
)

optimizer.cast_rays(cameras)
```

### 3. Monitor Performance

**Real-time monitoring:**
```python
# Print profiler report
profiler.print_report()

# Get adaptive stats
stats = manager.get_statistics()
print(f"Adjustments: {stats['adjustments_made']}")
print(f"Resolution: {stats['current_resolution_scale']:.1%}")
```

**Export data:**
```python
# Export profiling data
profiler.export_json("profile.json")
profiler.export_csv("profile.csv")
```

### 4. Run Benchmarks

**Quick benchmark:**
```bash
python tests/benchmarks/optimization_benchmark.py --frames 100
```

**Full benchmark suite:**
```bash
python tests/benchmarks/benchmark_suite.py
```

## Performance Modes

The adaptive manager supports multiple modes:

### MAX_QUALITY
- Maintains highest quality possible
- Only reduces quality if FPS drops below minimum (25 FPS)
- Gradually increases quality when headroom available
- **Use when:** Quality is more important than frame rate

### BALANCED (Default)
- Balances quality and performance
- Target: 30 FPS, <50ms latency
- Dynamically adjusts based on load
- **Use when:** General purpose operation

### MAX_PERFORMANCE
- Prioritizes frame rate
- Aggressively reduces quality to maintain FPS
- Enables frame skipping if critical
- **Use when:** High frame rate is critical

### LATENCY_CRITICAL
- Minimizes end-to-end latency
- Reduces batch sizes
- Increases parallelism
- **Use when:** Real-time response required

### POWER_SAVE
- Minimizes power consumption
- Reduces GPU clocks
- Lower frame rate
- **Use when:** Running on battery or thermal constraints

**Set mode:**
```python
manager.set_mode(PerformanceMode.LATENCY_CRITICAL)
```

## Troubleshooting

### Low GPU Utilization (<80%)

**Symptoms:** GPU util <80%, low FPS

**Solutions:**
1. Increase number of streams: `num_streams = 12`
2. Check for CPU bottleneck: Look at CPU usage
3. Reduce synchronization: Minimize `cudaDeviceSynchronize()`
4. Enable profiler: `profiler.detect_bottlenecks()`

### High Latency (>60ms)

**Symptoms:** Latency >60ms, delayed response

**Solutions:**
1. Enable latency mode: `manager.set_mode(PerformanceMode.LATENCY_CRITICAL)`
2. Reduce batch size: `batch_size = 1`
3. Check network latency: Use `ping` and `iperf3`
4. Review profiler: Check which stage is slow

### Memory Errors

**Symptoms:** CUDA out of memory, crashes

**Solutions:**
1. Reduce resolution scale: `resolution_scale = 0.75`
2. Enable memory pooling: Already enabled in v2.0
3. Reduce max objects: `max_objects = 150`
4. Clear GPU cache: `torch.cuda.empty_cache()` if using PyTorch

### Network Bottleneck

**Symptoms:** High network latency, packet loss

**Solutions:**
1. Use shared memory for same-node: `transport = "shared_memory"`
2. Enable jumbo frames: MTU 9000
3. Use UDP instead of TCP for streaming
4. Enable compression: `compression = "lz4"`
