---

## 🚀 Quick Start

### Minimal Example

Transform your existing PyTorch training with a single wrapper:

```python
import torch
import kitsune

# Your existing model and data
model = YourModel().cuda()
dataloader = YourDataLoader()

# ✨ Single-line optimization
optimizer = kitsune.KitsuneOptimizer(
    torch.optim.Adam,
    model.parameters(),
    lr=1e-3
)

# Training loop remains completely unchanged!
for batch in dataloader:
    optimizer.zero_grad()
    loss = model(batch)
    loss.backward()
    optimizer.step()
```

### Advanced Configuration

```python
import kitsune

# Fine-tune for your workload
optimizer = kitsune.KitsuneOptimizer(
    torch.optim.AdamW,
    model.parameters(),
    lr=1e-3,
    # Kitsune-specific options
    num_streams=8,              # More streams for complex models
    enable_fusion=True,         # Kernel fusion (requires Triton)
    enable_amp=True,           # Mixed precision training
    memory_pool_size='2GB',    # Preallocate memory pool
    profile=True               # Enable detailed profiling
)

# Access profiling data
stats = optimizer.get_stats()
print(f"Speedup: {stats.speedup:.2f}x")
print(f"Memory saved: {stats.memory_saved_mb:.1f} MB")
```

### Core Components

#### 1. **Graph Analyzer** (`kitsune/pytorch/graph_capture.py`)
- Intercepts PyTorch autograd operations
- Builds directed acyclic graph (DAG) of computation
- Identifies fusion opportunities (e.g., BatchNorm + ReLU)
- Detects data dependencies for safe parallelization

#### 2. **Dataflow Scheduler** (`kitsune/core/scheduler.py`)
- Implements critical path scheduling algorithm
- Assigns operations to CUDA streams based on dependencies
- Maintains priority queue for ready operations
- Ensures memory coherency across streams

#### 3. **Memory Manager** (`kitsune/memory/pool.py`)
- Zero-allocation hot path using pre-allocated pools
- Size-class binning (powers of 2) for efficient reuse
- Tracks tensor lifetimes to minimize memory footprint
- Supports pinned memory for fast CPU-GPU transfers

#### 4. **Fusion Engine** (`kitsune/fusion/`)
- Triton-based kernel fusion for common patterns
- Fuses: LayerNorm, Dropout, Activation functions
- Reduces kernel launch overhead by 40%+
- JIT compilation with caching

#### 5. **Stream Pool** (`kitsune/cuda/streams.py`)
- Manages 4-8 CUDA streams for parallel execution
- Event-based synchronization between streams
- Automatic stream selection based on workload
- Fallback to default stream when needed

## 💡 Usage Examples

### Example 1: Image Classification (MNIST)

```python
import torch
import torch.nn as nn
from torchvision import datasets, transforms
import kitsune

# Define model
class ConvNet(nn.Module):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.conv1 = nn.Conv2d(1, 32, 3, 1)
        self.conv2 = nn.Conv2d(32, 64, 3, 1)
        self.fc1 = nn.Linear(9216, 128)
        self.fc2 = nn.Linear(128, 10)
    
    def forward(self, x):
        x = torch.relu(self.conv1(x))
        x = torch.relu(self.conv2(x))
        x = torch.max_pool2d(x, 2)
        x = torch.flatten(x, 1)
        x = torch.relu(self.fc1(x))
        return self.fc2(x)

# Setup
model = ConvNet().cuda()
criterion = nn.CrossEntropyLoss()

# ✨ Use Kitsune optimizer
optimizer = kitsune.KitsuneOptimizer(
    torch.optim.Adam, 
    model.parameters(), 
    lr=0.001
)

# Training loop
for epoch in range(10):
    for images, labels in train_loader:
        images, labels = images.cuda(), labels.cuda()
        
        optimizer.zero_grad()
        outputs = model(images)
        loss = criterion(outputs, labels)
        loss.backward()
        optimizer.step()
