🏛️ Key Architectural Principles

1. 🔒 Memory Safety: Rust's ownership model prevents GPU memory leaks and data races
2. ⚡ Zero-Cost Abstractions: High-level APIs with no runtime overhead
3. 🎯 Target Agnostic: Single codebase supports WebGPU, WebAssembly, and native GPUs
4. 🧠 Neural Optimization: ML-driven performance optimization using ruv-FANN
5. 📊 Comprehensive Profiling: Real-time performance monitoring and analysis
6. 🔄 Incremental Compilation: Fast rebuild times during development

⚡ Build Performance Tips

1. Parallel Builds: Use cargo build -j $(nproc) for parallel compilation
2. Incremental Builds: Keep target/ directory for faster rebuilds
3. ccache: Install ccache to speed up C++ compilation
4. RAM Disk: Build on RAM disk for maximum speed

# Enable incremental compilation
export CARGO_INCREMENTAL=1

# Use all CPU cores
export CARGO_BUILD_JOBS=$(nproc)

# Optimize for build speed during development
export CARGO_PROFILE_DEV_CODEGEN_UNITS=256

🐛 Troubleshooting Build Issues

Common Issues

WebAssembly build fails:

# Ensure wasm32 target is installed
rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown

# Update wasm-pack
cargo install wasm-pack --force

Node.js binding compilation fails:

# Install build tools (Windows)
npm install --global windows-build-tools

# Install Python dev headers (Linux)
sudo apt-get install python3-dev

# Set Python path explicitly
npm config set python $(which python3)

Rust compilation errors:

# Update Rust toolchain
rustup update

# Clear cache and rebuild
cargo clean
cargo build

Out of memory during build:

# Reduce parallel jobs
export CARGO_BUILD_JOBS=1

# Use less optimization
export CARGO_PROFILE_RELEASE_OPT_LEVEL=1

    fn test_vector_add_basic() {
        let a = vec![1.0, 2.0, 3.0];
        let b = vec![4.0, 5.0, 6.0];
        let result = vector_add(&a, &b).unwrap();
        assert_eq!(result, vec![5.0, 7.0, 9.0]);
    }
    
    proptest! {
        #[test]
        fn test_vector_add_commutative(a in prop::collection::vec(any::<f32>(), 0..1000),
                                       b in prop::collection::vec(any::<f32>(), 0..1000)) {
            prop_assume!(a.len() == b.len());
            let result1 = vector_add(&a, &b).unwrap();
