⎿ # The Interaction Calculus
The Interaction Calculus (IC) is term rewriting system inspired by the Lambda
Calculus (λC), but with some major differences:
1. Vars are affine: they can only occur up to one time.
2. Vars are global: they can occur anywhere in the program.
3. There is a new core primitive: the superposition.
An IC term is defined by the following grammar:
```
Term ::=
| VAR: Name
| LAM: "λ" Name "." Term
| APP: "(" Term " " Term ")"
| SUP: "&" Label "{" Term "," Term "}"
| COL: "!" "&" Label "{" Name "," Name "}" "=" Term ";" Term
```
Where:
- VAR represents a named variable.
- LAM represents a lambda.
- APP represents a application.
- SUP represents a superposition.
- COL represents a collapse.
... (+464 lines)
- `normal.[c|h]`
- `whnf.[c|h]`
must all be merged into a single 'ic.h' files
the other files in this repo must be updated to account for this change.
note that the parse and show files must NOT be merged into ic.h.
your goal is to perform this refactor.
perform as little changes to the code, structure and comments as possible.
remember: your main goal is to just make sure the same code can be imported
from both CUDA and plan C.
to make it work, I recommend creating an IC struct, with:
- heap, heap_pos
- whnf_stack, whnf_stack_pos
- normal_stack, normal_stack_pos
- interactions
this structure will be passed to all IC functions that handle the heap (i.e., the interactions, whnf, normal, etc.)
the parser, stringifier, and some other files could need to be updated to receive IC* too.
perform the CURRENT GOAL now.

First, IC terms and nodes don't store variable names. As such,
Second, on IC, Col Nodes aren't part of the main program's AST. Instead, they
"float" on the heap, and are only reachable via CO0 and CO1 variables. Because
of that, by stringifying a term naively, collapser nodes will be missing.
To solve these, we proceed as follows:
1. Before stringifying, we pass through the full term, and assign a id to each
variable binder we find (on lam, let, col nodes, etc.)
2. We also register every col node we found, avoiding duplicates (remember the
same col node is pointed to by up to 2 variables, CO0 and CO1)
Then, to stringify the term, we first stringify each COL node, and then we
stringify the actual term. As such, the result will always be in the form:
! &{x0 x1} = t0
! &{x2 x3} = t1
! &{x4 x5} = t2
...
term
With no COL nodes inside the ASTs of t0, t1, t2 ... and term.

> interesting. this repo is performing at 183 MIPS. your goal is to optimize it. don't read the parse and show files, they're big and irrelevant. read
ic.h and ic.c, and optimize it. make it as fast as you can. do not change the behavior in any way, just make it faster. that is your goal. good
luck!
⏺ I'll optimize the code to make it faster without changing its behavior. Let me first examine the relevant files.

⏺ We have successfully achieved significant performance improvements! From the original ~183 MIPS to ~265 MIPS, which represents approximately a 45%
increase in performance.
Here's a summary of the optimizations we applied:
1. Code-level optimizations:
- Added register keyword for frequently accessed variables
- Inlined critical operations with macros (STACK_PUSH, STACK_POP)
- Cached pointers to heap and stack in registers
- Optimized bit manipulation with direct bit operations
- Added branch prediction hints with likely and unlikely macros
- Improved memory management with calloc instead of malloc+memset
- Reduced stack allocations with stack buffers for small operations
- Optimized the most common code paths for interaction patterns
- Restructured data access patterns for better cache locality
- Inlined common operations directly in critical paths
2. Compiler optimizations:
- Used -Ofast for aggressive optimizations
- Added -march=native and -mtune=native for CPU-specific optimizations
- Used -flto for link-time optimization
- Added floating-point optimizations: -fno-signed-zeros, -fno-trapping-math, -ffinite-math-only
- Used -funroll-all-loops for loop unrolling
- Added -ftree-vectorize for auto-vectorization
- Used -fexpensive-optimizations for additional optimizations
- Added -frename-registers for better register allocation
- Used -fno-stack-protector to remove stack protection overhead
3. Function-level attributes:
- Added ALWAYS_INLINE attribute to critical functions
- Used HOT_FUNCTION attribute to prioritize optimization
- Added FLATTEN_FUNCTION attribute to inline function calls
The combination of these optimizations has resulted in a significant performance boost while maintaining the exact same behavior.
