### 3.3 Performance Monitoring
```typescript
/**
* Measures the performance of a BitMatrix operation.
* @param operation Function to measure
* @param args Arguments to pass to the operation
* @returns Tuple of [result, executionTimeMs]
*/
function measurePerformance<T>(operation: (...args: any[]) => T, ...args: any[]): [T, number];
/**
* Benchmarks multiple operations and compares their performance.
* @param operations Array of [name, function] pairs to benchmark
* @param args Arguments to pass to each operation
* @param iterations Number of iterations for each operation
* @returns Array of benchmark results
*/
function benchmarkOperations(
operations: Array<[string, (...args: any[]) => any]>,
args: any[],
iterations: number
): Array<{name: string, averageTimeMs: number, minTimeMs: number, maxTimeMs: number}>;
```
## 4. Integration Examples
### 4.1 Basic Usage Example
```javascript
// Create a 3D bitfield
const bitfield = new BitField3D(8, 8, 8);
// Set some bits
bitfield.setBit(0, 0, 0, 1);
bitfield.setBit(7, 7, 7, 1);
// Set properties
bitfield.setProperty(0, 0, 0, 'color', 'red');
bitfield.setProperty(7, 7, 7, 'color', 'blue');
// Apply a rotation
const rotatedBitfield = rotate3D(bitfield, 'z', 90);
// Create a time series
const timeSeries = createTimeSeries(bitfield, 10);
// Apply a wave pattern
const wavePattern = createWave([8, 8, 8], 10, 'sine', 0.1, 1.0, 0);
// Compress the data
const [compressedData, metadata] = enhancedCompression(bitfield);
// Decompress the data
const decompressedBitfield = enhancedDecompression(compressedData, metadata);
```
### 4.2 Neural Network Example
```javascript
// Create input and output bitfields for training
const inputBitfield = new BitField3D(8, 8, 8);
const outputBitfield = new BitField3D(4, 4, 4);
// Set training data
// ... (set bits in inputBitfield and outputBitfield)
// Create a neural network
const network = createNeuralNetwork([8, 8, 8], [[32], [16]], [4, 4, 4]);
// Train the network
const trainedNetwork = trainNeuralNetwork(
network,
[[inputBitfield, outputBitfield]],
0.01,
1000
);
// Apply the network to new data
const newInput = new BitField3D(8, 8, 8);
// ... (set bits in newInput)
const predictedOutput = applyNeuralNetwork(newInput, trainedNetwork);
```
### 4.3 Quantum-Inspired Example
```javascript
// Create a bitfield
const bitfield = new BitField3D(8, 8, 8);
// Set a pattern
// ... (set bits to create a pattern)
// Create a target pattern to search for
const targetPattern = new BitField3D(2, 2, 2);
targetPattern.setBit(0, 0, 0, 1);
targetPattern.setBit(1, 1, 1, 1);
// Apply quantum search
const matchPositions = applyQuantumSearch(bitfield, targetPattern);
// Apply quantum Fourier transform
const transformedBitfield = applyQuantumFourier(bitfield);
```
## 5. Error Handling
The BitMatrix API uses a consistent error handling approach:
1. All functions validate their inputs and throw descriptive error messages for invalid inputs.
2. Errors include the function name and parameter that caused the error.
3. Out-of-bounds access attempts throw specific error messages.
4. Type mismatches (e.g., using a BitField3D where a BitField4D is expected) throw clear error messages.
Example error handling:
```javascript
try {
const bitfield = new BitField3D(8, 8, 8);
const value = bitfield.getBit(10, 10, 10); // Out of bounds
} catch (error) {
console.error(`Error: ${error.message}`);
// Error: Coordinates (10, 10, 10) out of bounds for bitfield with dimensions [8, 8, 8]
}
```
## 6. Performance Considerations
When using the BitMatrix API, consider the following performance guidelines:
1. Bitfields with dimensions larger than 128 in any dimension may require significant memory.
2. Quantum-inspired operations are computationally intensive and should be used judiciously.
3. For large bitfields, use block operations instead of bit-by-bit manipulation when possible.
4. Neural network operations scale with the product of input and output dimensions.
5. Enhanced compression provides better compression ratios but requires more computation.
6. Use the performance monitoring utilities to benchmark operations for your specific use case.
