Optimization Tips

General Optimization Strategy

1. Measure First: Profile before optimizing
2. Focus on Bottlenecks: Optimize the slowest components
3. Parallel Processing: Exploit multi-core CPUs and GPUs
4. Memory Efficiency: Reduce allocations and copies
5. Algorithm Selection: Choose appropriate algorithms for scale

---

Video Decoding Optimization

# 1. Enable hardware acceleration
processor = VideoProcessor(
    use_hardware_accel=True,
    codec='hevc_cuvid'  # NVIDIA hardware decoder
)

# 2. Optimize buffer size
# Smaller buffers = lower latency, but less stability
processor.buffer_size = 30  # frames (1 second at 30 FPS)

# 3. Use multiple decoder threads
processor.num_decoder_threads = 4

# 4. Pre-allocate buffers
processor.preallocate_buffers = True

Expected Improvement: 2-3x faster decoding, 50% less latency.

---

Motion Extraction Optimization

// 1. Enable SIMD instructions
#pragma omp simd
for (int i = 0; i < width * height; i++) {
    diff[i] = abs(current[i] - background[i]);
}

// 2. Optimize thread count (8-16 for 8K)
#pragma omp parallel for num_threads(16)
for (int y = 0; y < height; y++) {
    // Process row...
}

// 3. Use efficient data structures
// Connected components with Union-Find
// O(N) instead of O(N²)

// 4. Early termination
if (num_objects > max_objects) {
    break;  // Stop processing if too many objects
}

Expected Improvement: 40-60% faster processing.

---

Fusion Optimization

# 1. Reduce registration frequency
config = FusionConfig(
    registration_update_interval_s=2.0  # Update every 2 seconds instead of 1
)

# 2. Use CUDA for image warping
config.enable_cuda = True

# 3. Optimize detection thresholds
# Higher thresholds = faster but may miss detections
config.thermal_threshold = 0.4  # Increase from 0.3
config.mono_threshold = 0.3     # Increase from 0.2

# 4. Batch processing
# Process multiple frame pairs together
fusion_mgr.batch_size = 4

# 5. Async processing
fusion_mgr.async_mode = True

Expected Improvement: 30-40% faster fusion.

---

Voxel Processing Optimization

// 1. Optimize CUDA kernel launch configuration
dim3 block(16, 16, 4);  // 1024 threads per block
dim3 grid((width + 15) / 16, (height + 15) / 16, (depth + 3) / 4);

// 2. Use shared memory for temporary storage
__shared__ float shared_data[1024];

// 3. Coalesce memory accesses
// Access contiguous memory addresses
for (int i = threadIdx.x; i < size; i += blockDim.x) {
    output[i] = input[i];
}

// 4. Reduce atomic contention
// Use local accumulation then single atomic
float local_sum = 0.0f;
for (...) {
    local_sum += value;
}
atomicAdd(&global_sum, local_sum);

// 5. Use appropriate data types
// half precision (FP16) for memory-bound kernels
__half2* data = (__half2*)input;

Expected Improvement: 2-3x faster voxel updates.

---

Memory Optimization

# 1. Pre-allocate all buffers at startup
import numpy as np

# Pre-allocate frame buffers
frame_buffer = np.zeros((buffer_size, height, width), dtype=np.uint8)

# Pre-allocate GPU memory
import cupy as cp
gpu_buffer = cp.zeros((buffer_size, height, width), dtype=cp.uint8)

# 2. Use memory pools
import cupy as cp
mempool = cp.get_default_memory_pool()
mempool.set_limit(size=8 * 1024**3)  # 8GB limit

# 3. Reuse buffers instead of allocating
# Bad:
for frame in frames:
    result = process(frame)  # Allocates new array

# Good:
result = np.zeros((height, width), dtype=np.uint8)
for frame in frames:
    process(frame, output=result)  # Reuses existing array

# 4. Use pinned memory for faster CPU-GPU transfers
import cupy as cp
pinned_buffer = cp.cuda.alloc_pinned_memory(size)

# 5. Enable zero-copy transfers
processor.enable_zero_copy = True

Expected Improvement: 20-30% reduction in memory usage, 15-25% faster transfers.

---

Network Optimization

# 1. Enable RDMA (if available)
cluster = ClusterConfig(
    enable_rdma=True,
    rdma_device='mlx5_0'
)

# 2. Use compression for network transfers
pipeline = DataPipeline(
    enable_compression=True,
    compression_level=1  # Fast compression
)

# 3. Batch multiple frames
# Send 4 frames together instead of 1 at a time
pipeline.batch_size = 4

# 4. Use zero-copy networking
pipeline.enable_zero_copy = True

# 5. Optimize send/receive buffer sizes
import socket
sock.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_SNDBUF, 16 * 1024 * 1024)
sock.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_RCVBUF, 16 * 1024 * 1024)

Expected Improvement: 2-5x higher throughput, 50-75% lower latency (with RDMA).

GPU Utilization

Monitoring GPU Performance

# Real-time GPU monitoring

# Sample output:
# gpu   pwr  gtemp  mtemp   sm   mem   enc   dec
#   0    85     65      -   45    32    15    18
#   1   120     72      -   78    65    25    35

# Detailed GPU utilization

# GPU profiling with nsys
nsys profile --trace=cuda,nvtx -o profile python main.py

# View profile

Optimal GPU Utilization

Target Utilization:

• GPU Compute: 70-85% (sweet spot)
• GPU Memory: 60-75% (avoid OOM)
• GPU Memory Bandwidth: 50-70%

Signs of Suboptimal Utilization:

Issue	GPU Util	Cause	Solution
CPU Bottleneck	<30%	CPU can't feed GPU fast enough	Optimize CPU code, increase batch size
Memory Bound	40-60%	Memory bandwidth limit	Reduce memory transfers, use shared memory
Kernel Launch	30-50%	Too many small kernels	Batch operations, fuse kernels
Synchronization	20-40%	Excessive sync points	Use async operations, streams

Multi-GPU Optimization

# 1. Assign cameras to specific GPUs
camera_gpu_mapping = {
    0: 0,  # Camera 0 → GPU 0
    1: 0,  # Camera 1 → GPU 0
    2: 1,  # Camera 2 → GPU 1
    3: 1,  # Camera 3 → GPU 1
}

# 2. Use CUDA streams for parallelism
import cupy as cp
stream1 = cp.cuda.Stream()
stream2 = cp.cuda.Stream()

with stream1:
    result1 = process_camera(0)

with stream2:
    result2 = process_camera(1)

# 3. Enable peer-to-peer GPU transfers
cp.cuda.runtime.deviceEnablePeerAccess(1, 0)  # GPU 0 can access GPU 1

# 4. Load balance across GPUs
# Use dynamic assignment based on GPU utilization
def select_gpu():
    utils = [get_gpu_utilization(i) for i in range(num_gpus)]
    return utils.index(min(utils))

Scaling (10 Camera Pairs):

• CPU: ~22 GB (4.46 GB × 5, with sharing)
• GPU: ~9 GB (1.85 GB × 5, with sharing)

Memory Optimization Strategies

# 1. Reduce buffer sizes
processor = VideoProcessor(
    buffer_size=30  # Reduce from 60 frames
)

# 2. Use sparse data structures
voxel_grid = SparseVoxelGrid(
    enable_sparse=True,
    occupancy_threshold=0.01  # Only store voxels with >1% occupancy
)

# 3. Share buffers between cameras
# Use same buffer pool for multiple cameras
buffer_pool = FrameBufferPool(size=10 * 33.2 * 60)  # Shared pool

# 4. Implement memory limits
import resource
# Limit to 32GB
resource.setrlimit(resource.RLIMIT_AS, (32 * 1024**3, 32 * 1024**3))

# 5. Enable GPU memory pooling
import cupy as cp
mempool = cp.get_default_memory_pool()
with mempool:
    # Operations use pooled memory
    result = process_frame(frame)

Memory Leak Detection

# 1. Use memory profiler
import tracemalloc

tracemalloc.start()

# ... run application ...

snapshot = tracemalloc.take_snapshot()
top_stats = snapshot.statistics('lineno')

for stat in top_stats[:10]:
    print(stat)

# 2. Monitor GPU memory
import cupy as cp

while running:
    mempool = cp.get_default_memory_pool()
    print(f"GPU memory: {mempool.used_bytes() / 1024**3:.2f} GB")
    time.sleep(1)

# 3. Track allocations
# Add debugging allocator
class DebugAllocator:
    def __init__(self):
        self.allocations = {}

    def allocate(self, size):
        ptr = malloc(size)
        self.allocations[ptr] = size
        return ptr

    def free(self, ptr):
        if ptr in self.allocations:
            del self.allocations[ptr]
        free(ptr)

Latency Analysis

Real-Time Requirements

Target Latency: <33ms (30 FPS)

Latency Budget:

• Camera capture: 1-2ms
• Network transfer: 0.5-1ms
• Video decode: 6-8ms
• Motion extract: 10-12ms
• Fusion: 8-10ms
• Voxel project: 5-7ms
• Network send: 1-2ms
• Total: 32.5-42ms

Current Performance: 41.9ms (exceeds budget by 9.9ms)

Latency Reduction Techniques

1. Pipeline Parallelization

Sequential (41.9ms):
[Decode] → [Motion] → [Fusion] → [Voxel] → [Send]

Parallel (29.2ms):
      [Decode] ─┐
                ├→ [Motion] ─┐
      [Decode] ─┘             ├→ [Fusion] → [Voxel] → [Send]
                              │
                              └→ [Fusion] → [Voxel] → [Send]

Improvement: 30% reduction in latency

2. Async Processing

# Bad: Synchronous processing
frame = decode()
motion = extract_motion(frame)  # Blocks
fusion = process_fusion(motion)  # Blocks

# Good: Asynchronous processing
decode_future = async_decode()
motion_future = async_extract_motion(decode_future)
fusion_future = async_process_fusion(motion_future)

# Do other work...

result = await fusion_future  # Wait only when needed

3. Reduce Synchronization Points

// Bad: Frequent CPU-GPU synchronization
for (int i = 0; i < num_frames; i++) {
    process_on_gpu(frame[i]);
    cudaDeviceSynchronize();  // Sync after each frame
    result[i] = get_result();
}

// Good: Batch processing with single sync
for (int i = 0; i < num_frames; i++) {
    process_on_gpu(frame[i]);
}
cudaDeviceSynchronize();  // Sync once at end
for (int i = 0; i < num_frames; i++) {
    result[i] = get_result();
}

Memory Profiling

# 1. Profile CPU memory with memory_profiler
python -m memory_profiler main.py

# Sample output:
# Line #    Mem usage    Increment  Occurrences   Line Contents
#     45   125.2 MiB   125.2 MiB            1   frame_buffer = np.zeros(...)
#     46   158.4 MiB    33.2 MiB            1   frame = capture()

# 2. Profile GPU memory
nvidia-smi --query-gpu=memory.used --format=csv -l 1

# 3. Track allocations with CUDA profiler
import cupy as cp

cp.cuda.set_allocator(cp.cuda.MemoryPool().malloc)
mempool = cp.get_default_memory_pool()

print(f"Used bytes: {mempool.used_bytes()}")
print(f"Total bytes: {mempool.total_bytes()}")

Network Profiling

# 1. Monitor bandwidth with iftop
sudo iftop -i eth0

# 2. Capture packets with tcpdump
sudo tcpdump -i eth0 -w capture.pcap port 10000

# 3. Analyze with Wireshark
wireshark capture.pcap

# 4. Measure latency with ping
ping -c 1000 -s 8000 10.0.0.10

# 5. Measure throughput with iperf3
iperf3 -c 10.0.0.10 -t 60 -P 4
