Core Components

  1. WASM Core (fact-wasm-core) - High-performance Rust implementation compiled to WebAssembly
  2. MCP Server - Model Context Protocol server for AI assistant integration
  3. Cognitive Templates - Pre-built reasoning patterns for complex tasks
  4. Advanced Cache - Multi-tier caching with intelligent eviction
  5. Pattern Engine - Query classification and template matching
  6. Performance Monitor - Real-time metrics and optimization

WASM Core Implementation

Build Configuration

The WASM core is optimized for minimal size and maximum performance:

[profile.release]
opt-level = "s"        # Optimize for size
lto = "fat"           # Aggressive Link Time Optimization
debug = false         # No debug symbols
panic = "abort"       # Minimal panic handler
codegen-units = 1     # Single compilation unit
overflow-checks = false

Result: 248KB optimized WASM bundle (60% size reduction)

Key Dependencies

[dependencies]
wasm-bindgen = { version = "0.2", features = ["serde-serialize"] }
serde = { version = "1.0", features = ["derive"] }
smallvec = "1.13"           # Stack-allocated vectors
tinyvec = "1.6"            # Tiny vectors for small collections  
rustc-hash = "1.1"         # Fast non-cryptographic hashing
wasm-bindgen-futures = "0.4" # Async WASM support

WASM Interface

#[wasm_bindgen]
pub struct Fact {
    cache: FastCache,
    processor: QueryProcessor,
}

#[wasm_bindgen]
impl Fact {
    #[wasm_bindgen(constructor)]
    pub fn new() -> Self;
    
    #[wasm_bindgen]
    pub fn process(&mut self, query: &str, use_cache: bool) -> String;
    
    #[wasm_bindgen]
    pub fn get_cache_stats(&self) -> JsValue;
    
    #[wasm_bindgen]
    pub fn optimize(&mut self, mode: &str) -> String;
}

Cognitive Template System

FACT implements a sophisticated cognitive template system with 12+ specialized patterns:

Template Categories

Category Templates Use Cases
Analysis Data Analysis, Security Analysis Pattern detection, threat assessment
Development Code Generation, API Design, DevOps Software development, infrastructure
Architecture System Architecture, Database Design System design, scalability planning
Intelligence Machine Learning, Problem Solving AI/ML workflows, debugging
Operations Performance Optimization, Question Answering System tuning, knowledge retrieval

Template Structure

#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, Debug, Clone)]
pub struct CognitiveTemplate {
    pub id: String,
    pub name: String,
    pub description: String,
    pub version: String,
    pub pattern: TemplatePattern,
    pub cache_ttl: Option<u64>,
    pub priority: TemplatePriority,
    pub tags: Vec<String>,
    pub usage_count: u64,
    pub success_rate: f64,
    pub metadata: HashMap<String, serde_json::Value>,
}

#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, Debug, Clone)]
pub struct TemplatePattern {
    pub pattern_type: String,
    pub steps: Vec<ProcessingStep>,
    pub parallel_execution: bool,
    pub optimization_hints: Vec<OptimizationHint>,
    pub dependencies: Vec<String>,
    pub expected_execution_time_ms: Option<f64>,
}

Processing Pipeline

Templates support sophisticated processing with:

  • Parallel Execution - Steps can run concurrently when dependencies allow
  • Retry Logic - Configurable backoff strategies for failed operations
  • Validation Rules - Input/output validation with custom error handling
  • Optimization Hints - Cache strategies, SIMD vectorization, memory optimization

Example: Data Analysis Template

{
  "id": "data_analysis",
  "name": "Data Analysis Template",
  "pattern": {
    "pattern_type": "sequential",
    "parallel_execution": false,
    "steps": [
      {
        "step_type": "transform",
        "config": { "mode": "expand" },
        "retry_policy": { "max_attempts": 3, "backoff_strategy": "exponential" }
      },
      {
        "step_type": "analyze", 
        "config": { "depth": "deep" },
        "validation_rules": [
          { "rule_type": "required_field", "condition": "data", "error_message": "Data field required" }
        ]
      },
      {
        "step_type": "synthesize",
        "config": { "format": "insights" }
      }
    ],
    "optimization_hints": ["CacheAggressive", "MemoryOptimized"]
  }
}

Advanced Caching System

Multi-Tier Architecture

FACT implements a sophisticated caching system with multiple optimization layers:

pub struct FastCache {
    data: FxHashMap<String, CacheEntry>,      // Main storage (FxHash for speed)
    access_order: VecDeque<String>,           // LRU tracking
    hot_keys: SmallVec<[String; 32]>,        // Frequently accessed keys
    stats: CacheStats,                        // Performance metrics
    max_size: usize,                          // Memory limit
    hot_threshold: u32,                       // Hot key promotion threshold
}

Cache Entry Features

pub struct CacheEntry {
    pub value: String,
    pub timestamp: f64,
    pub ttl: Option<u64>,                     // Time-to-live
    pub access_count: u32,                    // Access frequency
    pub priority: CachePriority,              // Eviction priority
    pub compression_ratio: f32,               // Compression effectiveness
    pub access_pattern: AccessPattern,        // Usage analytics
    pub validation_hash: u64,                 // Data integrity
}

Priority-Based Eviction

Cache supports intelligent eviction based on multiple factors:

#[derive(Clone, Copy, Debug, PartialEq, PartialOrd)]
enum CachePriority {
    Critical,    // Never evict unless expired
    High,        // Evict only under memory pressure
    Medium,      // Standard LRU eviction
    Low,         // Preferential eviction candidate
    Disposable,  // First to be evicted
}

Performance Features

  • Hot Key Optimization - Sub-microsecond access for frequently used keys
  • Compression - Automatic compression for large values (>1KB)
  • Batch Operations - Bulk set/get operations for improved throughput
  • Memory Pooling - Reduces allocation overhead
  • Fragmentation Management - Advanced garbage collection

Cache Statistics

pub struct CacheStats {
    pub hit_rate: f64,                        // Cache effectiveness
    pub memory_efficiency: f64,               // Space utilization  
    pub avg_access_time_ms: f64,             // Performance metric
    pub compression_savings: u64,             // Space saved by compression
    pub fragmentation_ratio: f64,             // Memory fragmentation
    pub priority_distribution: HashMap<String, u64>, // Priority analysis
}

# Install MCP server
claude mcp add fact-mcp node src/mcp-server.js

# Use in Claude Code session
mcp__fact-mcp__process_template({
  "template_id": "data-analysis",
  "context": {
    "query": "Analyze user engagement patterns",
    "data_source": "analytics_db"
  }
})

Performance Optimizations

SIMD Vectorization

FACT leverages WASM SIMD instructions for parallel processing:

  • Vector Operations - Process multiple data points simultaneously
  • Memory Bandwidth - Optimized memory access patterns
  • Cache Locality - Data structures designed for CPU cache efficiency

Zero-Copy Operations

Minimizes memory allocations through:

  • String Interning - Reuse common string values
  • Slice Operations - Work with data views instead of copies
  • Buffer Reuse - Recycle allocated memory buffers

Memory Management

// Advanced memory optimization techniques
impl FastCache {
    fn optimize_memory(&mut self) {
        let gc_start = js_sys::Date::now();
        
        self.cleanup_expired();           // Remove expired entries
        self.compress_entries();          // Compress large values
        self.defragment_advanced();       // Optimize memory layout
        
        // Shrink over-allocated collections
        if self.data.capacity() > self.data.len() * 2 {
            self.data.shrink_to_fit();
        }
        
        self.update_fragmentation_ratio();
    }
}

Build Optimizations

  • Link Time Optimization (LTO) - Aggressive cross-crate optimization
