  9  ### AdaptiveOptimizer
 10  
 11  The `AdaptiveOptimizer` is the core component of the adaptive optimization system. It provides the following functionality:
 12  
 13  - Analyzing file characteristics to determine optimal parameters
 14  - Tracking performance metrics for operations
 15  - Adapting parameters based on performance history
 16  - Providing optimization summaries for files
 17  
 18  ### File Characteristics Analysis
 19  
 20  The system analyzes files to determine their characteristics:
 21  
 22  - **Size**: The size of the file in bytes
 23  - **Content Type**: The type of content (JSON, XML, ZIP, PDF, etc.)
 24  - **Entropy**: A measure of randomness in the file content (0.0-8.0)
 25  - **Compression Ratio**: An estimate of how compressible the file is (0.0-1.0)
 26  - **Modification Frequency**: How often the file is modified
 27  - **Access Frequency**: How often the file is accessed
 28  
 29  ### Optimization Parameters

 32  
 33  - **Chunk Size**: The size of chunks for processing (16KB-50MB)
 34  - **Target Chunk Count**: The target number of chunks for a file (2-128)
 35  - **Worker Count**: The number of worker goroutines for parallel processing (1-2x CPU cores)
 36  - **Cache Size**: The size of the cache for storing processed chunks (1MB-50% of available memory)
 37  - **Memory Optimization**: Whether to use memory optimization techniques
 38  - **Streaming Mode**: Whether to use streaming mode for processing
 39

 58  
 59  ## Implementation Details
 60  
 61  ### File Analysis
 62  
 63  The file analysis process works as follows:
 64  
 65  1. Calculate the file size
 66  2. Determine the content type based on file headers
 67  3. Calculate the entropy of the file content
 68  4. Estimate the compression ratio based on entropy
 69  5. Store the characteristics for future reference
 70  
 71  ### Parameter Optimization
 72  
 73  The parameter optimization process works as follows:
 74  
 75  1. Retrieve file characteristics (or analyze the file if not seen before)
 76  2. Calculate optimal chunk size based on file size, content type, and entropy
 77  3. Calculate optimal target chunk count based on file size and access frequency
 78  4. Calculate optimal worker count based on file size, entropy, and CPU cores
 79  5. Calculate optimal cache size based on file size, access frequency, and available memory
 80  6. Determine whether to use memory optimization based on file size and entropy
 81  7. Determine whether to use streaming mode based on file size
 82  
 83  ### Adaptation
 84  
 85  The adaptation process works as follows:
 86  
 87  1. Record performance metrics for operations
 88  2. Compare metrics with previous operations
 89  3. Adjust parameters based on performance changes
 90  4. Ensure parameters are within reasonable bounds
 91  
 92  The system uses a learning rate to control the speed of adaptation. A higher learning rate results in faster adaptation but may cause instability, while a lower learning rate results in slower adaptation but more stability.
 93  
 94  ## Parameter Selection Logic
 95  
 96  ### Chunk Size
 97  
 98  The chunk size is selected based on the following factors:
 99  
100  - **File Size**: Larger files use larger chunks
101    - < 1MB: 64KB
102    - < 10MB: 256KB
103    - < 100MB: 1MB
104    - < 1GB: 5MB
105    - >= 1GB: 10MB
106  
107  - **Content Type**: Different content types benefit from different chunk sizes
108    - Text-based formats (JSON, XML): Smaller chunks (80% of base size)
109    - Binary formats (ZIP, PDF): Larger chunks (120% of base size)
110  
111  - **Entropy**: Higher entropy (more random data) benefits from larger chunks
112    - Entropy factor: 0.8 + (entropy / 8.0) * 0.4
113  
114  ### Target Chunk Count
115  
116  The target chunk count is selected based on the following factors:
117  
118  - **File Size**: Larger files use more chunks
119    - < 1MB: 4 chunks
120    - < 10MB: 8 chunks
121    - < 100MB: 16 chunks
122    - < 1GB: 32 chunks
123    - >= 1GB: 64 chunks
124  
125  - **Access Frequency**: More frequently accessed files benefit from more chunks
126    - Access factor: 0.8 + (accessFrequency / 10.0) * 0.4
127  
128  ### Worker Count
129  
130  The worker count is selected based on the following factors:
131  
132  - **CPU Cores**: Base worker count on available CPU cores
133  - **File Size**: Adjust based on file size
134    - < 1MB: 50% of base count
135    - > 100MB: 150% of base count
136  - **Entropy**: Higher entropy benefits from more workers
137    - Entropy factor: 0.8 + (entropy / 8.0) * 0.4
138  
139  ### Cache Size
140  
141  The cache size is selected based on the following factors:
142  
143  - **File Size**: Larger files use larger caches
144    - < 1MB: 10MB
145    - < 10MB: 50MB
146    - < 100MB: 100MB
147    - < 1GB: 200MB
148    - >= 1GB: 500MB
149  
150  - **Access Frequency**: More frequently accessed files benefit from larger caches
151    - Access factor: 0.8 + (accessFrequency / 10.0) * 0.4
152  
153  - **Available Memory**: Adjust based on available memory
154    - Memory factor: availableMemory / 1GB (clamped to 0.5-2.0)
155  
156  ### Memory Optimization
157  
158  Memory optimization is enabled when:
159  
160  - File size is greater than 100MB
161  - Available memory is less than 1GB
162  - Entropy is greater than 6.0
163  
164  ### Streaming Mode
165  
166  Streaming mode is enabled when:
167  
168  - File size is greater than 50MB
169  
170  ## Usage Example

189  }
190  
191  cache := &ChunkCache{
192      maxSize: params.CacheSize,
193  }
194
