- CPU Memory Pool: 512MB-2GB based on available RAM
- Compression Threshold: 1GB for automatic compression

**Neural Network Architecture**
- Hidden Layer Size: 64-256 neurons (128 default)
- Experience Buffer: 1,000-10,000 samples
- Epsilon Decay: 0.995 for exploration-exploitation balance

### Performance Monitoring and Debugging

#### Metrics to Track
- **Algorithm Selection Accuracy**: Target >90% optimal choices
- **GPU Utilization**: Target >80% for compute-bound operations
- **Memory Efficiency**: Target <2x base memory usage
- **Learning Convergence**: Monitor reward trend over time

#### Common Performance Issues
- **Thrashing**: Rapid algorithm switching indicates poor convergence
- **Memory Pressure**: High fragmentation or allocation failures
- **GPU Underutilization**: Small graphs or memory bandwidth limits
- **Learning Plateaus**: May require learning rate adjustment
