Testing Methodology

Environment

  • Hardware: MacBook Pro M1
  • Node.js: v24.7.0
  • Method: Median of multiple runs, warmed-up parser
  • Data: Synthetic and real-world ontologies

Test Types

  1. Synthetic Scaling - Precise quad count testing
  2. Real-World Ontologies - PROV-O, RDF+RDFS, SHACL
  3. Binary Search - Exact limit determination
  4. Conservative Limits - 95% confidence with 10% safety margin

Usage Recommendations

Real-Time Applications (60fps)

Requirements:

  • Document size: ≤4K quads
  • Update pattern: Incremental only
  • Use case: Interactive knowledge graphs

Architecture:

  • Incremental updates
  • Pre-built indexes
  • Background indexing for larger sets

Batch Processing (1-Second)

Requirements:

  • Document size: ≤225K quads
  • Update pattern: Full reparse
  • Use case: Background reindexing, imports

Architecture:

  • Worker thread processing
  • Chunked processing for >50MB
  • Progress reporting

Enterprise Knowledge Bases

Scale Guidelines:

  • Small (<4K quads): Real-time updates
  • Medium (4-225K quads): Batch reindexing
  • Large (>225K quads): Streaming architecture

Best Practices:

  • Use incremental updates for real-time
  • Batch process during maintenance windows
  • Implement streaming for large corpora

Performance Monitoring

Built-in Metrics

The parser includes performance monitoring:

  • Parse time measurement
  • Memory usage tracking
  • Quad count statistics
  • Error rate monitoring

Benchmarking Tools

Available Tests:

  • load-test-grounded-numbers.js - Exact limit determination
  • load-test-real-ontologies.js - Real-world performance
  • load-test-60fps-scale.js - Interactive performance
  • load-test-knowledge-workbench.js - Enterprise simulation

Performance Regression Testing

Method:

  • Automated performance benchmarks
  • CI/CD integration
  • Alert on >10% performance degradation
  • Historical trend tracking

Architectural Implications

Real-Time Capabilities

✅ Interactive UI: Up to 4K quads with 60fps updates
✅ Background Processing: Up to 225K quads per second
✅ Enterprise Scale: 154 ontology sets per reparse
❌ Full UI Reparse: Not viable beyond 4K quads

Design Patterns

Incremental Architecture:

  • Stream updates as they arrive
  • Maintain pre-built indexes
  • Use background workers for bulk operations

Batch Architecture:

  • Process documents in chunks
  • Use worker threads
  • Implement progress reporting

Streaming Architecture:

  • Process large corpora incrementally
  • Use memory-efficient streaming
  • Implement checkpointing

Bottom Line

MDLD delivers enterprise-scale performance with 252K quads/sec sustained throughput and real-time capabilities for interactive applications. The character-based tokenizer provides significant performance advantages while maintaining clean, maintainable code architecture.

Key Takeaway: MDLD can reliably process 4K quads at 60fps and 225K quads per second, making it suitable for both real-time interactive applications and large-scale knowledge management systems.
