# Trueno-DB Integration Specification

**Version**: 1.0
**Status**: Planning
**Created**: 2025-11-19
**Dependencies**: trueno-db (crates.io ONLY), trueno 0.4.0

## Executive Summary

Integrate trueno-db as an embedded analytics backend for PMAT to enable GPU-accelerated code quality analytics, replacing SQLite for large-scale codebases. This integration **deletes dependencies** rather than adding them, leveraging trueno-db's zero-copy Arrow columnar format and GPU→SIMD→Scalar fallback for 50-100x performance improvements on aggregation-heavy workloads.

## Problem Statement

Current PMAT analytics limitations:
1. **SQLite bottleneck**: Single-threaded aggregations on 100K+ function datasets
2. **Memory inefficiency**: Row-based storage wastes cache lines
3. **No GPU utilization**: Missed 50-100x speedup opportunities
4. **Limited scalability**: Monorepo analysis (1M+ functions) takes minutes

**Real-world pain point**: Analyzing a large monorepo (500K functions) for TDG aggregations takes 45+ seconds with SQLite vs <1 second potential with GPU-accelerated columnar analytics.

## Goals

1. **Replace libsql/rusqlite**: Single embedded database (DELETE 2 dependencies)
2. **GPU-accelerated aggregations**: 50-100x faster TDG/complexity analytics
3. **SIMD fallback**: Graceful degradation via Trueno (no GPU required)
4. **Zero-copy analytics**: Arrow columnar format for cache efficiency
5. **EXTREME TDD**: 100% test coverage, backend equivalence tests

## Non-Goals

- Distributed multi-GPU (Phase 3 feature, not needed for PMAT)
- WASM support (PMAT is CLI/MCP server, not browser)
- SQL parser (use Rust API directly for type safety)

## Design Principles (Toyota Way)

### Muda (Waste Elimination)
- **Delete libsql + rusqlite**: -2 dependencies, -1.2MB binary size
- **Zero-copy transfers**: Arrow → GPU VRAM without serialization
- **Kernel fusion**: Single GPU pass for multi-metric aggregations

### Jidoka (Built-in Quality)
- **Backend equivalence tests**: GPU == SIMD == Scalar (property-based)
- **Pre-commit hooks**: TDG ≥B+, coverage ≥90%, mutation ≥80%
- **Regression tests**: Ensure GPU results match SQLite baseline

### Genchi Genbutsu (Go and See)
- **Real benchmarks**: Measure actual PMAT codebases (not synthetic)
- **Physics-based dispatch**: PCIe transfer vs compute cost model
- **Profiling-driven**: GPU profiler to validate kernel efficiency

### Data Model

#### Arrow Schema for TDG Analytics

```rust
use arrow::datatypes::{Schema, Field, DataType};

// TDG metrics table (columnar storage)
let tdg_schema = Schema::new(vec![
    Field::new("file_path", DataType::Utf8, false),
    Field::new("function_name", DataType::Utf8, false),
    Field::new("line_number", DataType::UInt32, false),
    Field::new("cyclomatic_complexity", DataType::UInt32, false),
    Field::new("cognitive_complexity", DataType::UInt32, false),
    Field::new("tdg_score", DataType::Float32, false),
    Field::new("churn_count", DataType::UInt32, false),
    Field::new("coupling_score", DataType::Float32, false),
    Field::new("timestamp", DataType::Timestamp(TimeUnit::Second, None), false),
]);

// Complexity history table (time-series analytics)
let complexity_history_schema = Schema::new(vec![
    Field::new("function_id", DataType::Utf8, false),
    Field::new("commit_hash", DataType::Utf8, false),
    Field::new("timestamp", DataType::Timestamp(TimeUnit::Second, None), false),
    Field::new("complexity_delta", DataType::Int32, false),
    Field::new("tdg_delta", DataType::Float32, false),
]);
```

### Query Patterns

#### GPU-Accelerated Aggregations

```rust
use trueno_db::Database;

// Pattern 1: Top N hotspots (GPU-accelerated sort + limit)
let top_hotspots = db.query(
    "SELECT file_path, AVG(tdg_score) as avg_tdg
     FROM tdg_metrics
     GROUP BY file_path
     ORDER BY avg_tdg DESC
     LIMIT 10"
).execute().await?;

// Pattern 2: P95/P99 percentiles (parallel sort on GPU)
let percentiles = db.query(
    "SELECT
        PERCENTILE_CONT(0.95) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY tdg_score) as p95,
        PERCENTILE_CONT(0.99) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY tdg_score) as p99
     FROM tdg_metrics"
).execute().await?;

// Pattern 3: Trend analysis (window functions on GPU)
let trends = db.query(
    "SELECT
        file_path,
        AVG(tdg_score) OVER (PARTITION BY file_path ORDER BY timestamp ROWS BETWEEN 7 PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW) as moving_avg
     FROM tdg_metrics"
).execute().await?;
```

#### Rust API (Type-Safe, No SQL Parser)

```rust
use trueno_db::{Database, Column, Aggregation};

// Type-safe aggregation API (preferred over SQL)
let db = Database::builder()
    .backend(Backend::CostBased)  // Auto GPU vs SIMD dispatch
    .morsel_size_mb(128)
    .build()?;

// Load data from Arrow RecordBatch (zero-copy from PMAT analytics)
db.load_table("tdg_metrics", &record_batch).await?;

// GPU-accelerated GROUP BY + AVG
let result = db
    .table("tdg_metrics")
    .group_by(&["file_path"])
    .aggregate(&[
        Aggregation::Avg(Column::Float("tdg_score")),
        Aggregation::Max(Column::UInt32("cyclomatic_complexity")),
        Aggregation::Count,
    ])
    .execute()
    .await?;
```

### Backend Selection Logic

```rust
// Cost-based dispatch (Section 2.2 of trueno-db spec)
// Rule: GPU only if compute_time > 5 * pcie_transfer_time
fn select_backend(dataset: &RecordBatch) -> Backend {
    let data_size_bytes = dataset.get_array_memory_size();
    let row_count = dataset.num_rows();

    // PCIe Gen4 x16: ~32 GB/s bidirectional
    let pcie_transfer_ms = (data_size_bytes as f64 / (32_000_000_000.0 / 1000.0)) * 2.0;

    // GPU kernel time estimate (calibrated via benchmarking)
    // Assumption: 1B rows/second for simple aggregations on RTX 4090
    let gpu_compute_ms = row_count as f64 / 1_000_000.0;

    if gpu_compute_ms > pcie_transfer_ms * 5.0 {
        Backend::Gpu  // Compute-bound: GPU wins
    } else if row_count > 10_000 {
        Backend::Simd  // Medium dataset: SIMD via Trueno
    } else {
        Backend::Scalar  // Small dataset: avoid overhead
    }
}
```

**Key Insight**: GPU dispatch requires **compute intensity** > 5x transfer cost. For TDG analytics with 100K+ rows and multi-column aggregations, this threshold is easily met.

## Integration Implementation

### Phase 1: Replace SQLite Backend (Sprint 1)

#### Data Model Migration

```rust
// Before (libsql/rusqlite)
pub struct TdgStorage {
    connection: libsql::Connection,
}

impl TdgStorage {
    pub async fn insert_tdg_score(&self, score: &TDGScore) -> Result<()> {
        self.connection.execute(
            "INSERT INTO tdg_scores (file_path, tdg_value, ...) VALUES (?, ?, ...)",
            params![score.path, score.value, ...],
        ).await?;
        Ok(())
    }

    pub async fn get_top_hotspots(&self, limit: usize) -> Result<Vec<TDGScore>> {
        // Slow: Single-threaded SQLite aggregation
        let rows = self.connection.query(
            "SELECT * FROM tdg_scores ORDER BY tdg_value DESC LIMIT ?",
            params![limit],
        ).await?;
        // ...
    }
}

// After (trueno-db)
pub struct TdgStorage {
    db: trueno_db::Database,
}

impl TdgStorage {
    pub async fn insert_tdg_batch(&self, scores: &[TDGScore]) -> Result<()> {
        // Batch insert via Arrow RecordBatch (zero-copy)
        let batch = scores_to_arrow_batch(scores)?;
        self.db.append_table("tdg_scores", &batch).await?;
        Ok(())
    }

    pub async fn get_top_hotspots(&self, limit: usize) -> Result<Vec<TDGScore>> {
        // Fast: GPU-accelerated parallel sort + limit
        let result = self.db
            .table("tdg_scores")
            .sort_by(&["tdg_value"], SortDirection::Desc)
            .limit(limit)
            .execute()
            .await?;

        arrow_batch_to_scores(&result)
    }
}
```

#### Dependency Cleanup (DELETE)

```toml
# server/Cargo.toml
[dependencies]
# BEFORE: 2 database dependencies
libsql = "0.9.24"  # DELETE THIS
rusqlite = { version = "0.32", features = ["bundled"] }  # DELETE THIS

# AFTER: 1 unified database
trueno-db = "0.1.0"  # From crates.io when published
```

**Binary size impact**: -1.2 MB (bundled SQLite removed)

### Phase 2: GPU Analytics (Sprint 2)

#### Benchmark-Driven Development

```rust
// benches/tdg_analytics.rs
use criterion::{black_box, criterion_group, criterion_main, Criterion, BenchmarkId};

fn bench_tdg_aggregations(c: &mut Criterion) {
    let mut group = c.benchmark_group("tdg_aggregations");

    for size in [10_000, 100_000, 1_000_000].iter() {
        let dataset = generate_tdg_dataset(*size);

        // SQLite baseline (before)
        group.bench_with_input(BenchmarkId::new("sqlite", size), size, |b, _| {
            b.iter(|| {
                // Simulate SQLite aggregation
                black_box(aggregate_tdg_sqlite(&dataset))
            })
        });

        // Trueno-DB SIMD (after)
        group.bench_with_input(BenchmarkId::new("trueno_simd", size), size, |b, _| {
            b.iter(|| {
                black_box(aggregate_tdg_trueno(&dataset, Backend::Simd))
            })
        });

        // Trueno-DB GPU (after)
        group.bench_with_input(BenchmarkId::new("trueno_gpu", size), size, |b, _| {
            b.iter(|| {
                black_box(aggregate_tdg_trueno(&dataset, Backend::Gpu))
            })
        });
    }

    group.finish();
}

criterion_group!(benches, bench_tdg_aggregations);
criterion_main!(benches);
```

**Performance Target**: GPU backend must be **≥50x faster** than SQLite for 1M row aggregations.

### Phase 3: Backend Equivalence Testing (EXTREME TDD)

#### Property-Based Tests

```rust
use proptest::prelude::*;
use quickcheck::quickcheck;

// Property 1: Backend Equivalence
#[quickcheck]
fn prop_gpu_simd_scalar_equivalence(dataset: TdgDataset) -> bool {
    let gpu_result = compute_tdg_aggregation(&dataset, Backend::Gpu);
    let simd_result = compute_tdg_aggregation(&dataset, Backend::Simd);
    let scalar_result = compute_tdg_aggregation(&dataset, Backend::Scalar);

    // Floating-point tolerance: 1e-6
    approx_equal(gpu_result, simd_result, 1e-6) &&
    approx_equal(simd_result, scalar_result, 1e-6)
}

// Property 2: Aggregation Commutativity
#[quickcheck]
fn prop_aggregation_order_independent(dataset: TdgDataset) -> bool {
    let result1 = compute_avg_tdg(&dataset);
    let shuffled = dataset.shuffle();
    let result2 = compute_avg_tdg(&shuffled);

    approx_equal(result1, result2, 1e-6)
}

// Property 3: SQLite Regression Test
#[test]
fn test_trueno_matches_sqlite_baseline() {
    let test_cases = load_real_pmat_datasets();  // Actual PMAT codebases

    for dataset in test_cases {
        let sqlite_result = compute_with_sqlite(&dataset);
        let trueno_result = compute_with_trueno(&dataset, Backend::Simd);

        assert_approx_equal(sqlite_result, trueno_result, 1e-6,
            "Trueno results must exactly match SQLite baseline");
    }
}
```

### Phase 4: Performance Profiling (Genchi Genbutsu)

#### GPU Profiler Integration

```rust
#[cfg(feature = "profiling")]
pub async fn profile_tdg_query(db: &Database, query: &str) -> ProfileReport {
    use wgpu_profiler::GpuProfiler;

    let profiler = GpuProfiler::new(&db.device);

    let result = profiler.scope("tdg_aggregation", || {
        db.query(query).execute().await
    });

    ProfileReport {
        gpu_compute_ms: profiler.get_duration("tdg_aggregation"),
        pcie_transfer_ms: profiler.get_transfer_time(),
        cpu_preprocessing_ms: profiler.get_cpu_time(),
        speedup_vs_cpu: baseline_cpu_time / result.total_time,
    }
}
```

### RED Phase Tests (Write First)

```rust
// Test 1: Backend equivalence (RED - will fail until implemented)
#[test]
fn test_tdg_gpu_simd_equivalence() {
    let dataset = load_test_tdg_data(100_000);

    let gpu_avg = compute_avg_tdg(&dataset, Backend::Gpu);
    let simd_avg = compute_avg_tdg(&dataset, Backend::Simd);

    assert_approx_equal(gpu_avg, simd_avg, 1e-6);
}

// Test 2: Performance requirement (RED - will fail until GPU kernel implemented)
#[test]
fn test_gpu_50x_speedup() {
    let dataset = load_test_tdg_data(1_000_000);

    let sqlite_time = bench_sqlite_aggregation(&dataset);
    let gpu_time = bench_gpu_aggregation(&dataset);

    assert!(gpu_time < sqlite_time / 50.0,
        "GPU must be ≥50x faster than SQLite for 1M rows");
}

// Test 3: SQLite regression (RED - will fail until trueno-db integrated)
#[test]
fn test_trueno_matches_sqlite() {
    let pmat_dataset = load_real_pmat_codebase();

    let sqlite_result = compute_with_sqlite(&pmat_dataset);
    let trueno_result = compute_with_trueno(&pmat_dataset);

    assert_eq!(sqlite_result, trueno_result,
        "Trueno must match SQLite baseline exactly");
}

// Test 4: Zero dependency regression (RED - will fail if deps increase)
#[test]
fn test_dependency_count_decreased() {
    let before_deps = count_dependencies_in_commit("HEAD~1");
    let after_deps = count_dependencies_in_commit("HEAD");

    assert!(after_deps <= before_deps,
        "Integration must DELETE dependencies, not add them");
}
```

### GREEN Phase (Minimal Implementation)

```rust
// Minimal implementation to pass RED tests
pub async fn compute_avg_tdg(dataset: &TdgDataset, backend: Backend) -> f64 {
    match backend {
        Backend::Gpu => {
            // GPU kernel: parallel sum + count
            let sum = gpu_sum(&dataset.tdg_scores).await;
            let count = dataset.len();
            sum / count as f64
        }
        Backend::Simd => {
            // Trueno SIMD sum
            use trueno::Vector;
            let vec = Vector::from_slice(&dataset.tdg_scores);
            vec.mean().unwrap()
        }
        Backend::Scalar => {
            // Fallback: iterator sum
            dataset.tdg_scores.iter().sum::<f64>() / dataset.len() as f64
        }
    }
}
```

### REFACTOR Phase (Optimize)

```rust
// Optimized: Kernel fusion (single GPU pass for sum + count)
pub async fn compute_avg_tdg_optimized(dataset: &TdgDataset, backend: Backend) -> f64 {
    match backend {
        Backend::Gpu => {
            // Fused kernel: sum + count in single pass
            let (sum, count) = gpu_sum_count_fused(&dataset.tdg_scores).await;
            sum / count as f64
        }
        // ... SIMD/Scalar unchanged
    }
}
```

- [ ] **Day 1**: Error handling (OOM, no GPU, VRAM full)
- [ ] **Day 2**: Graceful degradation tests
- [ ] **Day 3**: Real-world dataset validation (trueno, pmat, bashrs)
- [ ] **Day 4**: Documentation + pmat-book update
- [ ] **Day 5**: Pre-commit hooks + CI integration

**Quality Gate**:
- Coverage ≥90%
- All quality gates passing
- Dependency count decreased (libsql + rusqlite → trueno-db)

## Success Metrics

### Performance Metrics
- **Aggregation speedup**: ≥50x for 1M row TDG analytics (GPU vs SQLite)
- **SIMD speedup**: ≥5x for 100K row analytics (SIMD vs SQLite)
- **Binary size**: -1.2 MB (delete bundled SQLite)
- **Memory efficiency**: 30-50% reduction via columnar layout

### Quality Metrics
- **Test coverage**: ≥90% (cargo llvm-cov)
- **Mutation kill rate**: ≥80% (cargo-mutants)
- **TDG score**: ≥B+ (85/100)
- **Backend equivalence**: 100% tests passing (GPU == SIMD == Scalar)

### Dependency Metrics
- **Dependencies removed**: 2 (libsql, rusqlite)
- **Dependencies added**: 1 (trueno-db from crates.io)
- **Net change**: -1 dependency ✅
- **Binary size delta**: -1.2 MB ✅

## Risk Assessment

| Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation |
|------|-----------|--------|------------|
| trueno-db not yet on crates.io | High | High | Wait for 0.1.0 release, use git temporarily with CRITICAL annotation |
| GPU kernel bugs | Medium | High | Backend equivalence tests (GPU == SIMD baseline) |
| PCIe transfer overhead | Medium | Medium | Cost-based dispatch with 5x compute/transfer threshold |
| VRAM OOM | Low | Medium | Morsel-based paging (128MB chunks) + graceful SIMD fallback |

## Open Questions

1. **Q**: Should we support SQL parser or Rust API only?
   **A**: Rust API only for type safety. SQL parser adds complexity without PMAT benefit.

2. **Q**: What about distributed multi-GPU (Phase 3)?
   **A**: Out of scope. PMAT runs locally, no need for distributed execution.

3. **Q**: WASM support for browser-based PMAT?
   **A**: Out of scope. PMAT is CLI/MCP server, not browser app.

4. **Q**: Backwards compatibility with existing SQLite databases?
   **A**: Migration script: SQLite → Arrow Parquet → Trueno-DB one-time import.
