Type: Enhancement
Priority: Low
Epic: Enhanced Resolution & Range Support

Description

Optimize data processing pipeline for larger data packets and higher precision calculations required by 18-bit resolution.

Acceptance Criteria

• Profile current data processing performance
• Identify bottlenecks in scaling calculations
• Optimize memory allocation for larger data samples
• Maintain 1000Hz sampling performance with 18-bit data
• Add performance monitoring and logging
• Performance benchmarks for various configurations

Optimization Areas

• Reduce memory allocations in hot paths
• Pre-calculate scaling factors where possible
• Optimize data type conversions
• Consider SIMD operations for bulk processing

Files to Modify

• Daqifi.Desktop/Device/AbstractStreamingDevice.cs (data processing pipeline)
• Performance monitoring utilities

Value

Ensures responsive performance when processing high-resolution data at maximum sampling rates

Testing Requirements

• Benchmark 12-bit vs 18-bit processing performance
• Test sustained 1000Hz operation with multiple channels
• Memory usage profiling
• CPU utilization monitoring
• Performance regression tests

Dependencies

• Should be done after core resolution and range support is complete
