Each node in the +`linearFlowchart` (DataSelector → DataGridder → XYSelector → PlotNode) defensively copies data +before modifying it, and many internal methods (`structure()`, `extract()`, `copy()`, `validate()`) +add further redundant copies. Profiling shows that a typical 4-stage pipeline produces a **~4.8× +memory amplification factor** — almost 5 copies of the input data exist simultaneously. + +For a 100×100×100 MeshgridDataDict (~38 MB), a single `copy()` takes **92 ms** and `validate()` +takes **43 ms** due to `np.diff`/`np.unique` on full meshgrid axes.

CRITICAL: Cascading Deep Copies in Node Process Methods + +**Every node calls `.copy()` on data it receives, even though pyqtgraph's Flowchart passes data by +reference.** Worse, inherited nodes copy *again* — `XYSelector` inherits from `DimensionReducer`, +so data is copied twice (once at each level's `process()`). + +Evidence: +- `DataGridder.process()` — `data = dataout.copy()` (grid.py:473) +- `DimensionReducer.process()` — `data = dataout.copy()` (dim_reducer.py:682) +- `XYSelector.process()` — `data = dataout.copy()` (dim_reducer.py:901) ← **second copy in chain** +- `ScaleUnits.process()` — `data = dataIn.copy()` (scaleunits.py:126) +- `SubtractAverage.process()` — `data = dataIn.copy()` (correct_offset.py:63) +- `Fitter.process()` — `dataOut = dataIn.copy()` (fitter.py:606) + +**Impact**: In a 4-node pipeline, data is copied 3–4 times. For 38 MB meshgrid data, that's +~150 MB of unnecessary allocations and ~370 ms of copy time. + +### 2. HIGH: MeshgridDataDict.validate() Is Computationally Expensive + +`MeshgridDataDict.validate()` (datadict.py:1063-1145) computes `np.diff()` + `np.unique()` + +`np.sign()` on every axis array for every dependent, verifying monotonicity. For a 100×100×100 +dataset with 2 deps and 3 axes, that's 6 full-array `np.diff` computations on 1M-element arrays. + +This takes **43 ms** per call and is called: +- Once per `structure()` call +- Once per `copy()` call (via `structure()`) +- Once per `validate()` directly +- Multiple times in `datadict_to_meshgrid()`, `meshgrid_to_datadict()`, etc. + +Across a pipeline, validate() may be called **6–10 times** for the same data. + +### 3. HIGH: structure() Uses deepcopy Unnecessarily + +`DataDictBase.structure()` (datadict.py:399-451) does `cp.deepcopy(v2)` on each field's metadata +dict (line 434), even though: +- Values are already emptied (`v2['values'] = []`) +- Metadata is typically just strings and lists of strings +- A shallow copy would suffice in 99% of cases + +### 4. MEDIUM: extract() Uses Deep Copy by Default + +`DataDictBase.extract()` (datadict.py:315-362) calls `cp.deepcopy(self[d])` for each selected +field (line 347), including the numpy array values. `deepcopy` on numpy arrays is significantly +slower than `array.copy()` because it goes through Python's generic copy protocol rather than +numpy's optimized memcpy path. + +### 5. MEDIUM: mask_invalid() Creates Full Masked Copy + +`mask_invalid()` (datadict.py:724-738) uses `np.ma.masked_where(..., copy=True)`, creating a +completely new masked array for every data field. Many datasets have no invalid entries, making +this pure overhead. + +### 6. LOW: shapes() Wraps Arrays Unnecessarily + +`DataDictBase.shapes()` (datadict.py:553-565) calls `np.array(self.data_vals(k)).shape` — the +`np.array()` wrapper is unnecessary since `data_vals()` already returns an ndarray after +validation. + +--- + +## Risk Analysis & Mitigations + +This section documents the edge cases discovered during investigation and how the proposed +improvements must account for them. + +### Risk 1: Nested Dict Mutations Bypass Dirty Flags + +`DataDictBase` is a `dict` of dicts. User code commonly mutates inner dicts directly: +`dd['x']['values'] = new_array`. This does NOT trigger `DataDictBase.__setitem__` because the +outer dict is not being set — only the inner dict is being mutated. + +**Mitigation**: Do NOT use a general validation cache based on `__setitem__`. Instead, use +private helper methods (`_build_structure()`) that skip validation only when called from +code paths that have *just* validated or just constructed fresh data. The public `validate()` API +always runs. This is safe because the hot-path is internal: `copy()` calls `structure()` which +calls `validate()` — and after copying validated data, re-validating the copy is redundant. + +### Risk 2: Monotonicity Check Must Cover the Full Array + +The current `MeshgridDataDict.validate()` checks `np.diff(axis_data, axis=axis_num)` on the full +N-d axis array. Checking only a single 1D slice would miss cases where one slice is monotonic +but another is flat or reversed. + +**Mitigation**: Keep checking the full array, but avoid the expensive `np.unique(np.sign(...))` +pipeline. Instead, compute min/max of the diff directly: +```python +d = np.diff(axis_data, axis=axis_num) +d_sign = np.sign(d[~np.isnan(d)]) # ignore NaN steps +if d_sign.size > 0: + has_zero = np.any(d_sign == 0) + not_monotone = not (np.all(d_sign >= 0) or np.all(d_sign <= 0)) +``` +This avoids `np.unique()` (which sorts and allocates) while preserving full coverage. The +dominant cost becomes `np.diff()` which is a simple O(N) subtraction — much faster than +diff + sign + unique. + +### Risk 3: Unknown Field Keys in DataDict + +Field dicts can contain custom keys beyond `values/axes/unit/label`. Known cases: +- `__shape__` key: stored by `datadict_storage.py`, checked in `MeshgridDataDict.validate()` +- Fitter node adds `'guess'` and `'fit'` fields dynamically (fitter.py:642, 648) +- Per-field meta keys like `__meta1__` are stored inside field dicts + +**Mitigation**: In `structure()` and `extract()`, when replacing `cp.deepcopy()`, we must +**preserve all keys**, not just the known ones. Use a targeted copy that special-cases only +`values` (numpy-optimized copy) and `axes` (new list), but copies everything else generically: +```python +new_field = {} +for fk, fv in original_field.items(): + if fk == 'values': + new_field[fk] = fv.copy() if copy else fv # numpy optimized + elif fk == 'axes': + new_field[fk] = list(fv) # new list, strings are immutable + else: + new_field[fk] = cp.deepcopy(fv) # safe for mutable meta/custom keys +``` +This preserves backward compatibility while optimizing the two expensive keys (values, axes). + +### Risk 4: In-Place Axis Mutation Breaks Shallow Copies + +Several nodes mutate the `axes` list in-place: +- `DimensionReducer._applyDimReductions()` does `del data[n]['axes'][idx]` + (dim_reducer.py:595) +- `structure(remove_data=...)` does `s[n]['axes'].pop(i)` (datadict.py:439) + +If a shallow copy shares the same `axes` list, these mutations would corrupt the original. + +**Mitigation**: `copy(deep=False)` (the new shallow copy mode) MUST always create a new `axes` +list for each field, even when sharing the `values` array. This makes it safe for axis mutation +while still avoiding the expensive array copy. The implementation is: +```python +new_field = {} +for fk, fv in original_field.items(): + if fk == 'values': + new_field[fk] = fv # shared reference (NOT copied) + elif fk == 'axes': + new_field[fk] = list(fv) # ALWAYS new list + else: + new_field[fk] = fv # scalars (unit, label) are immutable +``` + +### Risk 5: mask_invalid() Return Type Contract + +Downstream plotting code checks `isinstance(data, np.ma.MaskedArray)` and calls `.filled(np.nan)` +(plot/mpl/plotting.py:99-104, plot/base.py:479,508). If we skip masking for clean data, the +arrays stay as plain `np.ndarray` and the isinstance checks return False — which is actually +fine, because the code uses `if isinstance(...): filled()` as a conditional path. + +**Mitigation**: The fast-path must use `num.is_invalid()` (not just `np.isnan`) to also catch +`None` values in object arrays. When no invalid entries exist, skip masking entirely — the +plotting code handles plain ndarrays correctly. When invalid entries exist, apply masking as +before. + +### Risk 6: shapes() Called on Unvalidated Data + +`Node.process()` calls `dataIn.shapes()` (node.py:281) without an explicit prior `validate()`. +If values are still lists (pre-validation), `data_vals()` returns a list and `.shape` fails. + +**Mitigation**: Use `np.shape()` instead of `.shape` — this works on lists, tuples, and arrays +alike, returning the correct shape without requiring conversion: +```python +shapes[k] = np.shape(self.data_vals(k)) +``` + +### Risk 7: copy() and extract() Semantic Inconsistency + +Currently `copy()` uses `ndarray.copy()` (shallow numpy copy) while `extract(copy=True)` uses +`cp.deepcopy()` (Python generic deep copy). For simple numeric arrays these are equivalent, but +for object-dtype arrays `deepcopy` recursively copies contained Python objects while +`ndarray.copy()` only copies the array of pointers. + +**Mitigation**: Align both to use `ndarray.copy()` for the `values` key, and `cp.deepcopy()` for +other mutable values. This is consistent because: (a) plottr stores numeric data in arrays, not +nested objects, (b) object arrays in plottr contain None values — `ndarray.copy()` handles None +correctly since None is a singleton. + +--- + +## Code Readability: Copy Semantics Design + +A key goal is making it **obvious** in the code where data is shared vs. independent. We adopt +a pattern inspired by xarray's `copy(deep=True/False)` API and numpy conventions. + +### Design Principles + +1. **Explicit `deep` parameter**: Extend `copy()` to accept `deep=True` (default, backward + compatible) and `deep=False` (shares arrays). No separate `shallow_copy()` method — one + method, one parameter, one place to look. + +2. **Docstrings document ownership**: Every method that returns data states whether the returned + arrays are copies or views: + ```python + def copy(self, deep: bool = True) -> T: + """Make a copy of the dataset. + + :param deep: If True (default), all data arrays are copied. The returned + dataset is fully independent of the original. + If False, the returned dataset shares data array references with the + original. Modifications to array *contents* (e.g., ``ret['x']['values'][0] = 5``) + will affect both. However, *replacing* an array (``ret['x']['values'] = new_arr``) + only affects the copy. Field metadata (axes, unit, label) is always independent. + """ + ``` + +3. **Nodes document their copy contract**: Each `process()` method gets a one-line comment + stating whether it copies or modifies in-place: + ```python + def process(self, dataIn=None): + ... + data = dataIn.copy(deep=False) # shallow: only modifying values for specific fields + data['dep_0']['values'] = data['dep_0']['values'] * scale # replaces array, safe + ``` + +4. **No hidden copies**: Functions that need to modify data must do so on an explicit copy. + `Node.process()` base class passes data through by reference (as it already does). Only + nodes that transform data should copy. This should be the local decision of each node. + +### API Summary + +| Method | Arrays | Metadata | Use When | +|---|---|---|---| +| `copy(deep=True)` | Independent copies | Independent copies | Need fully independent data | +| `copy(deep=False)` | Shared references | Independent copies | Node only modifies a few fields | +| `extract(copy=True)` | Independent copies | Independent copies | Subsetting fields | +| `extract(copy=False)` | Shared references | Shared references | Read-only subsetting | +| `structure()` | Empty (no data) | Independent copies | Getting data shape/layout | + +--- + +## Proposed Improvements (Revised) + +### Phase 1: Extend copy() with deep parameter & fix cascading copies + +#### 1a. Add `deep` parameter to `copy()` + +Extend the existing `copy()` method to accept `deep=True/False`, following the xarray convention. +`deep=True` (default) preserves current behavior. `deep=False` copies the dict structure and +axes lists but shares numpy array references. + +```python +def copy(self: T, deep: bool = True) -> T: + """Make a copy of the dataset. + + :param deep: If True (default), data arrays are independently copied. + If False, the returned dataset shares array references with the original. + Field metadata (axes, unit, label) is always independently copied. + """ + ret = self.__class__() + for k, v in self.items(): + if self._is_meta_key(k): + ret[k] = cp.deepcopy(v) + else: + new_field = {} + for fk, fv in v.items(): + if fk == 'values': + new_field[fk] = fv.copy() if deep else fv + elif fk == 'axes': + new_field[fk] = list(fv) # always new list (mutation-safe) + elif self._is_meta_key(fk): + new_field[fk] = cp.deepcopy(fv) # safe for mutable meta + else: + new_field[fk] = fv # scalars (unit, label) are immutable + ret[k] = new_field + return ret +``` + +This replaces the current `copy()` → `structure()` → `deepcopy` chain with a single efficient +pass. No separate `shallow_copy()` method needed. + +**Impact**: `copy(deep=False)` is essentially free (~0.01 ms vs 92 ms for deep copy on 38 MB +meshgrid). Even `copy(deep=True)` is faster because it avoids the `structure()` → `validate()` +→ `deepcopy` chain. + +#### 1b. Fix cascading copies in inherited nodes + +`XYSelector.process()` calls `super().process()` (which is `DimensionReducer.process()`) which +already copies. Remove the redundant second copy: + +- `DimensionReducer.process()` (dim_reducer.py:682): keep `copy(deep=False)` — it needs to + mutate axes and values +- `XYSelector.process()` (dim_reducer.py:901): **remove** the `.copy()` call — parent already + returned a copy +- `Node.process()` (node.py:263): does NOT copy, just inspects — keep as-is + +#### 1c. Use `copy=False` in `datadict_to_meshgrid` when data is already a copy + +`DataGridder.process()` already copies input at line 473. Pass `copy=False` to +`datadict_to_meshgrid()` to avoid a redundant second array copy. + +### Phase 2: Optimize Expensive Validation + +#### 2a. Skip redundant validation in internal methods + +Add a private `_build_structure()` path that skips validation when constructing data from +known-valid sources. The public `validate()` always runs — no caching. + +Specifically: +- `copy()` already constructs from valid data → skip re-validate +- `structure()` calls `validate()` first, then constructs → skip re-validate in the construction + step + +This is implemented by extracting the construction logic out of `structure()` into a helper: +```python +def structure(self, ...): + if self.validate(): + return self._build_structure(...) + return None + +def _build_structure(self, ...): + """Build structure dict. Caller must ensure data is validated.""" + ... # no validate() call here +``` + +**Impact**: Eliminates 50%+ of validate() calls. Especially impactful for MeshgridDataDict +where validate() costs 43 ms. + +#### 2b. Optimize MeshgridDataDict.validate() monotonicity check + +Replace `np.unique(np.sign(np.diff(...)))` with a direct min/max check on the diff array. +This avoids the sort + allocate from `np.unique()` while preserving full-array coverage: + +```python +d = np.diff(axis_data, axis=axis_num) +# Use nan-aware checks without materializing sign/unique arrays +valid_d = d[~np.isnan(d)] if np.issubdtype(d.dtype, np.floating) else d +if valid_d.size > 0: + if np.any(valid_d == 0): + msg += "no variation along axis" + if not (np.all(valid_d > 0) or np.all(valid_d < 0)): + msg += "not monotonous" +``` + +**Impact**: ~50% faster than current (no sort/unique), while checking every element. + +### Phase 3: Optimize structure() and extract() + +#### 3a. Replace deepcopy in structure() with targeted copy + +Use the same targeted copy pattern as `copy()`: special-case `values` (set to `[]`) and `axes` +(new list), deepcopy only meta keys (which may be mutable), pass through scalars directly. +Preserve ALL keys (not just known ones) to handle custom field keys like `__shape__`. + +#### 3b. Replace deepcopy in extract() with targeted copy + +Same pattern: use `ndarray.copy()` for values, `list()` for axes, `deepcopy` for meta keys, +passthrough for scalars. This aligns `extract(copy=True)` semantics with `copy(deep=True)`. + +### Phase 4: Optimize mask_invalid() + +#### 4a. Skip masking when data has no invalid entries + +Use `num.is_invalid()` (which handles both None and NaN) for the fast check: +```python +def mask_invalid(self: T) -> T: + for d, _ in self.data_items(): + arr = self.data_vals(d) + invalid_mask = num.is_invalid(arr) + if not np.any(invalid_mask): + continue # no invalid entries, skip masking entirely + vals = np.ma.masked_where(invalid_mask, arr, copy=True) + ... +``` + +Downstream plotting code handles both plain ndarrays and MaskedArrays correctly (conditional +isinstance checks in plot/mpl/plotting.py:99-104). + +#### 4b. Use copy=False when data is already a copy + +In pipeline nodes that call `mask_invalid()` after already copying data (DimensionReducer, +Histogrammer), pass through a parameter or check `owndata` to avoid re-copying. + +### Phase 5: Minor Optimizations + +#### 5a. Use np.shape() in shapes() + +Replace `np.array(self.data_vals(k)).shape` with `np.shape(self.data_vals(k))`. This handles +lists/tuples/arrays uniformly without allocating a new array. Safe for unvalidated data. + +#### 5b. Optimize datasets_are_equal() + +Short-circuit on shape mismatch before comparing values. + +--- + +## Expected Impact + +| Phase | Time Savings (per pipeline update) | Memory Savings | +|---|---|---| +| Phase 1 (copy(deep=False) + fix cascading) | 50–70% of copy time | 60–75% reduction | +| Phase 2 (skip redundant validation + optimize) | 60–80% of validate time | Negligible | +| Phase 3 (structure/extract targeted copy) | 30–50% of structure ops | Minor | +| Phase 4 (mask_invalid fast-path) | 95%+ when data is clean | 50% reduction | +| Phase 5 (Minor) | 5–10% misc | Minor | + +**Combined estimate for 100×100×100 MeshgridDataDict pipeline:** +- Current: ~500 ms, ~190 MB allocated (4.8× input) +- After all phases: ~50–80 ms, ~50–60 MB allocated (~1.3× input) + +## Implementation Order + +**Prerequisite**: Add comprehensive test coverage for copy semantics, data integrity through +pipeline, and edge cases (object arrays, complex data, masked data, custom field keys). + +Then: +1. **Phase 1a** (copy deep parameter) — foundation for everything else +2. **Phase 2a** (skip redundant validation) — highest ROI, low risk +3. **Phase 2b** (optimize monotonicity check) — high ROI, low risk +4. **Phase 1b** (fix cascading copies) — high ROI, needs test coverage first +5. **Phase 3a+3b** (structure/extract optimization) — medium ROI, low risk +6. **Phase 4a** (mask_invalid fast-path) — high ROI for clean data, low risk +7. **Phase 1c + Phase 4b + Phase 5** — incremental improvements + +## Risks & Considerations + +- **Shared array mutation**: With `copy(deep=False)`, if a node modifies array *contents* + in-place (e.g. `arr[0] = 5` or `arr *= 2`), it corrupts the original.

Opportunities + +Additional performance improvements identified through comprehensive codebase analysis. +Organized from highest to lowest impact. + +### Tier 1: Critical Quick Wins + +#### HDF5 Data Loading: Avoid Full-File Reads for Metadata + +**Files:** `plottr/data/datadict_storage.py` + +**Problem:** Two lines read the entire HDF5 dataset into memory just to get its shape: +- Line 274: `lens = [len(grp[k][:]) for k in keys]` reads ALL data to get lengths +- Line 305: `entry['__shape__'] = ds[:].shape` reads ALL data to get shape + +**Fix:** +`python +# Line 274: use HDF5 metadata (zero I/O) +lens = [grp[k].shape[0] for k in keys] + +# Line 305: use HDF5 shape attribute +entry['__shape__'] = ds.shape +` + +**Impact:** 50-80% reduction in HDF5 load time for large files. Eliminates massive +memory spikes when loading. This is a 1-line fix each. + +#### Node.process() Redundant structure() Call + +**File:** `plottr/node/node.py:282` + +**Problem:** `dstruct = dataIn.structure(add_shape=False)` is called on every +pipeline update in every node. For MeshgridDataDict this means validate() + deepcopy +of all field metadata. But the result is only stored for signal emission — the actual +change detection at lines 293-308 uses axes/deps/type/shapes which are already computed +at lines 279-281. + +**Fix:** Replace with a lazy approach — only compute structure when it's actually needed +(i.e., when `_structChanged` is True): +`python +dstruct = None # defer computation +# ... change detection using axes/deps/type ... +if _structChanged: + dstruct = dataIn.structure(add_shape=False) +self.dataStructure = dstruct if dstruct is not None else self.dataStructure +` + +**Impact:** Eliminates the single most expensive call in the pipeline hot path for +steady-state operation (when structure doesn't change between updates). For 500K-element +MeshgridDataDict: saves ~14ms per node per update. + +### Tier 2: High Impact + +#### Plot Complex Data: Replace deepcopy with Targeted Copy + +**File:** `plottr/plot/base.py:456, 488, 517` + +**Problem:** `_splitComplexData()` uses `deepcopy(re_plotItem)` to create Real/Imag or +Mag/Phase split views. This deep-copies the entire PlotItem including array data references +and all metadata. Called on every plot update for complex-valued data. + +**Fix:** PlotItem is a dataclass — use `dataclasses.replace()` or manual copy: +`python +from dataclasses import replace +im_plotItem = replace(re_plotItem, + id=re_plotItem.id + 1, + data=list(re_plotItem.data), + labels=list(re_plotItem.labels) if re_plotItem.labels else None, +) +` + +**Impact:** 2-5x faster rendering for complex-valued plots. + +#### Signal Emission Overhead in Nodes + +**File:** `plottr/node/node.py:316-334` + +**Problem:** Up to 7 Qt signals are emitted per data update in each node. On first data +arrival, ALL signals fire (lines 284-290). Each signal can trigger widget updates and +downstream processing. + +**Opportunities:** +- `dataFieldsChanged` (line 323) is redundant — it emits `daxes + ddeps` which + is just the union of `dataAxesChanged` and `dataDependentsChanged` +- `newDataStructure` (line 330) carries structure+shapes+type, overlapping with + `dataStructureChanged` (line 329) + `dataShapesChanged` (line 334) + +**Fix (conservative):** Remove `dataFieldsChanged` and have listeners use +`dataAxesChanged` + `dataDependentsChanged` instead. Connect `newDataStructure` +only where both structure and shapes are needed together. + +**Fix (aggressive):** Coalesce all signals into a single `dataChanged(dict)` signal +carrying change flags. Reduces signal/slot overhead from 7 to 1. + +#### largest_numtype() Flattens Entire Array + +**File:** `plottr/utils/num.py:28` + +**Problem:** `types = {type(a) for a in np.array(arr).flatten()}` iterates every +element of the array as a Python object to collect types. For a 1M-element array, +this creates 1M Python objects. + +**Fix:** Use numpy's dtype system directly: +`python +def largest_numtype(arr, include_integers=True): + arr = np.asarray(arr) + if np.issubdtype(arr.dtype, np.complexfloating): + return complex + if np.issubdtype(arr.dtype, np.floating): + return float + if include_integers and np.issubdtype(arr.dtype, np.integer): + return float # promote to float for plotting + # Only fall back to element-scanning for object arrays + if arr.dtype == object: + types = {type(a) for a in arr.ravel() if a is not None} + # ... existing logic ... + return None +` + +**Impact:** ~100x faster for numeric arrays (avoids Python-level iteration entirely). + +### Tier 3: Medium Impact + +#### is_invalid() Allocates Unnecessary Zero Array + +**File:** `plottr/utils/num.py:57-65` + +**Problem:** For non-float arrays, creates `np.zeros(a.shape, dtype=bool)` just to +OR with the None check. The zeros contribute nothing. + +**Fix:** +`python +def is_invalid(a): + isnone = a == None + if a.dtype in FLOATTYPES: + return isnone | np.isnan(a) + return isnone # skip zeros allocation +` + +#### guess_grid_from_sweep_direction(): Repeated np.array() Calls + +**File:** `plottr/utils/num.py:236-242` + +**Problem:** `np.array(vals)` called 4 times on the same data inside a loop. + +**Fix:** Convert once at the top of the loop: `vals_arr = np.asarray(vals)` + +#### remove_invalid_entries(): O(n^2) np.append Pattern + +**File:** `plottr/data/datadict.py:1068-1086` + +**Problem:** Uses `np.append(_idxs, _newidxs)` repeatedly which copies the entire +array each time. + +**Fix:** Collect indices in a Python list, concatenate once: +`python +_idxs_list = [] +# ... append to list ... +_idxs = np.concatenate(_idxs_list) if _idxs_list else np.array([]) +` + +#### datadict_to_dataframe(): flatten() Instead of ravel() + +**File:** `plottr/data/datadict.py:1738, 1745` + +**Problem:** `.flatten()` always copies; `.ravel()` returns a view when possible. + +**Fix:** Use `.ravel()` since the result is consumed immediately by pandas. + +### Tier 4: Architectural Improvements (Larger Effort) + +#### Data Change Detection in Pipeline + +**Problem:** The pipeline has no concept of "what changed." Every update re-processes +the entire data through every node. For live monitoring where data is appended +incrementally, this means re-gridding, re-reducing, and re-plotting everything. + +**Opportunity:** Add lightweight change detection: +- Track data version/hash at the DataDict level +- Nodes check if their input actually changed before processing +- For append-only updates, nodes could process only new data + +#### Fitter Node: No Memoization + +**File:** `plottr/node/fitter.py:624-650` + +**Problem:** The fitting algorithm runs on every `process()` call even if the data +and fit parameters haven't changed. For complex models this can take 100ms-1s. + +**Fix:** Cache fit results keyed on (data hash, model, parameters). + +#### ScaleUnits: Redundant Per-Update Computation + +**File:** `plottr/node/scaleunits.py:129-135` + +**Problem:** `find_scale_and_prefix()` scans the full array (`np.nanmax(np.abs(data))`) +for every field on every update. + +**Fix:** Cache the scale prefix and only recompute when the data range changes +significantly (e.g., order of magnitude difference). + +#### Histogrammer: No Result Caching + +**File:** `plottr/node/histogram.py:132-217` + +**Problem:** Histogram recomputed on every update even when data, nbins, and axis +haven't changed. + +**Fix:** Cache histogram results, invalidate only when inputs change. + +### Tier 5: xarray Consideration + +**Finding:** Plottr does NOT use xarray at all despite listing it as a dependency. +xarray could theoretically provide lazy loading from HDF5, chunked computation, and +better memory management. However, replacing DataDict with xarray would be a major +refactoring effort and is not recommended unless a larger redesign is planned. + +The `xarray` dependency appears to be pulled in transitively or for potential future +use. It could be made optional to reduce install footprint.

User code commonly mutates inner dicts directly: -`dd['x']['values'] = new_array`. This does NOT trigger `DataDictBase.__setitem__` because the -outer dict is not being set — only the inner dict is being mutated. +### What Changed -**Mitigation**: Do NOT use a general validation cache based on `__setitem__`. Instead, use -private helper methods (`_build_structure()`) that skip validation only when called from -code paths that have *just* validated or just constructed fresh data. The public `validate()` API -always runs.

New `deep=False` shares arrays (xarray-style API, backward compatible) +- `_build_structure()` private helper that skips redundant validation +- `MeshgridDataDict.validate()` monotonicity check: replaced `np.unique(np.sign(np.diff(...)))` + with direct min/max checks — same coverage, no sort/allocate +- `mask_invalid()` fast-path: skips masking entirely when data has no invalid entries +- `shapes()` uses `np.shape()` instead of `np.array(...).shape` +- `datasets_are_equal()` shape short-circuit + set-based comparison +- `remove_invalid_entries()` fixed O(n²) `np.append` pattern + fixed crash on inhomogeneous arrays +- `meshgrid_to_datadict()` / `datadict_to_dataframe()`: `ravel()` instead of `flatten()` -### Risk 2: Monotonicity Check Must Cover the Full Array +**`plottr/utils/num.py`** (numerical utilities): +- `largest_numtype()`: dtype check instead of iterating every element as Python object (~15,000× faster) +- `is_invalid()`: skip zero-array allocation for non-float types +- `guess_grid_from_sweep_direction()`: convert with `np.asarray()` once instead of 4× +- `_find_switches()`: compute `is_invalid()` once (was 3×), single `np.percentile([lo,hi])` call + (was 2 separate sorts), vectorized boolean filter, `np.nanmean` for NaN-safe sweep direction -The current `MeshgridDataDict.validate()` checks `np.diff(axis_data, axis=axis_num)` on the full -N-d axis array. Checking only a single 1D slice would miss cases where one slice is monotonic -but another is flat or reversed. +**`plottr/node/node.py`**: Defer `structure()` call to only when structure actually changes (50× faster steady-state) -**Mitigation**: Keep checking the full array, but avoid the expensive `np.unique(np.sign(...))` -pipeline. Instead, compute min/max of the diff directly: -```python -d = np.diff(axis_data, axis=axis_num) -d_sign = np.sign(d[~np.isnan(d)]) # ignore NaN steps -if d_sign.size > 0: - has_zero = np.any(d_sign == 0) - not_monotone = not (np.all(d_sign >= 0) or np.all(d_sign <= 0)) -``` -This avoids `np.unique()` (which sorts and allocates) while preserving full coverage. The -dominant cost becomes `np.diff()` which is a simple O(N) subtraction — much faster than -diff + sign + unique. +**`plottr/node/dim_reducer.py`**: Removed redundant `copy()` in `XYSelector.process()` -### Risk 3: Unknown Field Keys in DataDict +**`plottr/node/grid.py`**: Pass `copy=False` to `datadict_to_meshgrid()` since gridder already copies input -Field dicts can contain custom keys beyond `values/axes/unit/label`. Known cases: -- `__shape__` key: stored by `datadict_storage.py`, checked in `MeshgridDataDict.validate()` -- Fitter node adds `'guess'` and `'fit'` fields dynamically (fitter.py:642, 648) -- Per-field meta keys like `__meta1__` are stored inside field dicts +**`plottr/plot/base.py`**: `dataclasses.replace` instead of `deepcopy` for complex plot splitting -**Mitigation**: In `structure()` and `extract()`, when replacing `cp.deepcopy()`, we must -**preserve all keys**, not just the known ones. Use a targeted copy that special-cases only -`values` (numpy-optimized copy) and `axes` (new list), but copies everything else generically: -```python -new_field = {} -for fk, fv in original_field.items(): - if fk == 'values': - new_field[fk] = fv.copy() if copy else fv # numpy optimized - elif fk == 'axes': - new_field[fk] = list(fv) # new list, strings are immutable - else: - new_field[fk] = cp.deepcopy(fv) # safe for mutable meta/custom keys -``` -This preserves backward compatibility while optimizing the two expensive keys (values, axes). - -### Risk 4: In-Place Axis Mutation Breaks Shallow Copies +### Bugs Fixed +- `copy()` now properly deep-copies global mutable metadata (was sharing references) +- `remove_invalid_entries()` no longer crashes when dependents have different numbers of invalid entries -Several nodes mutate the `axes` list in-place: -- `DimensionReducer._applyDimReductions()` does `del data[n]['axes'][idx]` - (dim_reducer.py:595) -- `structure(remove_data=...)` does `s[n]['axes'].pop(i)` (datadict.py:439) +### Benchmark Results -If a shallow copy shares the same `axes` list, these mutations would corrupt the original. +**Micro-benchmarks (key functions):** -**Mitigation**: `copy(deep=False)` (the new shallow copy mode) MUST always create a new `axes` -list for each field, even when sharing the `values` array. This makes it safe for axis mutation -while still avoiding the expensive array copy. The implementation is: -```python -new_field = {} -for fk, fv in original_field.items(): - if fk == 'values': - new_field[fk] = fv # shared reference (NOT copied) - elif fk == 'axes': - new_field[fk] = list(fv) # ALWAYS new list - else: - new_field[fk] = fv # scalars (unit, label) are immutable -``` - -### Risk 5: mask_invalid() Return Type Contract - -Downstream plotting code checks `isinstance(data, np.ma.MaskedArray)` and calls `.filled(np.nan)` -(plot/mpl/plotting.py:99-104, plot/base.py:479,508). If we skip masking for clean data, the -arrays stay as plain `np.ndarray` and the isinstance checks return False — which is actually -fine, because the code uses `if isinstance(...): filled()` as a conditional path. - -**Mitigation**: The fast-path must use `num.is_invalid()` (not just `np.isnan`) to also catch -`None` values in object arrays. When no invalid entries exist, skip masking entirely — the -plotting code handles plain ndarrays correctly. When invalid entries exist, apply masking as -before. - -### Risk 6: shapes() Called on Unvalidated Data - -`Node.process()` calls `dataIn.shapes()` (node.py:281) without an explicit prior `validate()`. -If values are still lists (pre-validation), `data_vals()` returns a list and `.shape` fails. - -**Mitigation**: Use `np.shape()` instead of `.shape` — this works on lists, tuples, and arrays -alike, returning the correct shape without requiring conversion: -```python -shapes[k] = np.shape(self.data_vals(k)) -``` - -### Risk 7: copy() and extract() Semantic Inconsistency - -Currently `copy()` uses `ndarray.copy()` (shallow numpy copy) while `extract(copy=True)` uses -`cp.deepcopy()` (Python generic deep copy). For simple numeric arrays these are equivalent, but -for object-dtype arrays `deepcopy` recursively copies contained Python objects while -`ndarray.copy()` only copies the array of pointers. - -**Mitigation**: Align both to use `ndarray.copy()` for the `values` key, and `cp.deepcopy()` for -other mutable values. This is consistent because: (a) plottr stores numeric data in arrays, not -nested objects, (b) object arrays in plottr contain None values — `ndarray.copy()` handles None -correctly since None is a singleton. - ---- - -## Code Readability: Copy Semantics Design - -A key goal is making it **obvious** in the code where data is shared vs. independent. We adopt -a pattern inspired by xarray's `copy(deep=True/False)` API and numpy conventions. - -### Design Principles - -1. **Explicit `deep` parameter**: Extend `copy()` to accept `deep=True` (default, backward - compatible) and `deep=False` (shares arrays). No separate `shallow_copy()` method — one - method, one parameter, one place to look. - -2. **Docstrings document ownership**: Every method that returns data states whether the returned - arrays are copies or views: - ```python - def copy(self, deep: bool = True) -> T: - """Make a copy of the dataset. - - :param deep: If True (default), all data arrays are copied. The returned - dataset is fully independent of the original. - If False, the returned dataset shares data array references with the - original. Modifications to array *contents* (e.g., ``ret['x']['values'][0] = 5``) - will affect both. However, *replacing* an array (``ret['x']['values'] = new_arr``) - only affects the copy. Field metadata (axes, unit, label) is always independent. - """ - ``` - -3. **Nodes document their copy contract**: Each `process()` method gets a one-line comment - stating whether it copies or modifies in-place: - ```python - def process(self, dataIn=None): - ... - data = dataIn.copy(deep=False) # shallow: only modifying values for specific fields - data['dep_0']['values'] = data['dep_0']['values'] * scale # replaces array, safe - ``` - -4. **No hidden copies**: Functions that need to modify data must do so on an explicit copy. - `Node.process()` base class passes data through by reference (as it already does). Only - nodes that transform data should copy. This should be the local decision of each node. - -### API Summary - -| Method | Arrays | Metadata | Use When | +| Function | Before | After | Speedup | |---|---|---|---| -| `copy(deep=True)` | Independent copies | Independent copies | Need fully independent data | -| `copy(deep=False)` | Shared references | Independent copies | Node only modifies a few fields | -| `extract(copy=True)` | Independent copies | Independent copies | Subsetting fields | -| `extract(copy=False)` | Shared references | Shared references | Read-only subsetting | -| `structure()` | Empty (no data) | Independent copies | Getting data shape/layout | - ---- - -## Proposed Improvements (Revised) - -### Phase 1: Extend copy() with deep parameter & fix cascading copies - -#### 1a. Add `deep` parameter to `copy()` - -Extend the existing `copy()` method to accept `deep=True/False`, following the xarray convention. -`deep=True` (default) preserves current behavior. `deep=False` copies the dict structure and -axes lists but shares numpy array references. - -```python -def copy(self: T, deep: bool = True) -> T: - """Make a copy of the dataset. - - :param deep: If True (default), data arrays are independently copied. - If False, the returned dataset shares array references with the original. - Field metadata (axes, unit, label) is always independently copied. - """ - ret = self.__class__() - for k, v in self.items(): - if self._is_meta_key(k): - ret[k] = cp.deepcopy(v) - else: - new_field = {} - for fk, fv in v.items(): - if fk == 'values': - new_field[fk] = fv.copy() if deep else fv - elif fk == 'axes': - new_field[fk] = list(fv) # always new list (mutation-safe) - elif self._is_meta_key(fk): - new_field[fk] = cp.deepcopy(fv) # safe for mutable meta - else: - new_field[fk] = fv # scalars (unit, label) are immutable - ret[k] = new_field - return ret -``` - -This replaces the current `copy()` → `structure()` → `deepcopy` chain with a single efficient -pass. No separate `shallow_copy()` method needed. - -**Impact**: `copy(deep=False)` is essentially free (~0.01 ms vs 92 ms for deep copy on 38 MB -meshgrid). Even `copy(deep=True)` is faster because it avoids the `structure()` → `validate()` -→ `deepcopy` chain. - -#### 1b. Fix cascading copies in inherited nodes - -`XYSelector.process()` calls `super().process()` (which is `DimensionReducer.process()`) which -already copies. Remove the redundant second copy: - -- `DimensionReducer.process()` (dim_reducer.py:682): keep `copy(deep=False)` — it needs to - mutate axes and values -- `XYSelector.process()` (dim_reducer.py:901): **remove** the `.copy()` call — parent already - returned a copy -- `Node.process()` (node.py:263): does NOT copy, just inspects — keep as-is - -#### 1c. Use `copy=False` in `datadict_to_meshgrid` when data is already a copy - -`DataGridder.process()` already copies input at line 473. Pass `copy=False` to -`datadict_to_meshgrid()` to avoid a redundant second array copy. - -### Phase 2: Optimize Expensive Validation - -#### 2a. Skip redundant validation in internal methods - -Add a private `_build_structure()` path that skips validation when constructing data from -known-valid sources. The public `validate()` always runs — no caching. - -Specifically: -- `copy()` already constructs from valid data → skip re-validate -- `structure()` calls `validate()` first, then constructs → skip re-validate in the construction - step - -This is implemented by extracting the construction logic out of `structure()` into a helper: -```python -def structure(self, ...): - if self.validate(): - return self._build_structure(...) - return None - -def _build_structure(self, ...): - """Build structure dict. Caller must ensure data is validated.""" - ... # no validate() call here -``` - -**Impact**: Eliminates 50%+ of validate() calls. Especially impactful for MeshgridDataDict -where validate() costs 43 ms. - -#### 2b. Optimize MeshgridDataDict.validate() monotonicity check - -Replace `np.unique(np.sign(np.diff(...)))` with a direct min/max check on the diff array. -This avoids the sort + allocate from `np.unique()` while preserving full-array coverage: - -```python -d = np.diff(axis_data, axis=axis_num) -# Use nan-aware checks without materializing sign/unique arrays -valid_d = d[~np.isnan(d)] if np.issubdtype(d.dtype, np.floating) else d -if valid_d.size > 0: - if np.any(valid_d == 0): - msg += "no variation along axis" - if not (np.all(valid_d > 0) or np.all(valid_d < 0)): - msg += "not monotonous" -``` - -**Impact**: ~50% faster than current (no sort/unique), while checking every element. - -### Phase 3: Optimize structure() and extract() - -#### 3a. Replace deepcopy in structure() with targeted copy - -Use the same targeted copy pattern as `copy()`: special-case `values` (set to `[]`) and `axes` -(new list), deepcopy only meta keys (which may be mutable), pass through scalars directly. -Preserve ALL keys (not just known ones) to handle custom field keys like `__shape__`. - -#### 3b. Replace deepcopy in extract() with targeted copy - -Same pattern: use `ndarray.copy()` for values, `list()` for axes, `deepcopy` for meta keys, -passthrough for scalars. This aligns `extract(copy=True)` semantics with `copy(deep=True)`. - -### Phase 4: Optimize mask_invalid() - -#### 4a. Skip masking when data has no invalid entries - -Use `num.is_invalid()` (which handles both None and NaN) for the fast check: -```python -def mask_invalid(self: T) -> T: - for d, _ in self.data_items(): - arr = self.data_vals(d) - invalid_mask = num.is_invalid(arr) - if not np.any(invalid_mask): - continue # no invalid entries, skip masking entirely - vals = np.ma.masked_where(invalid_mask, arr, copy=True) - ... -``` - -Downstream plotting code handles both plain ndarrays and MaskedArrays correctly (conditional -isinstance checks in plot/mpl/plotting.py:99-104). - -#### 4b. Use copy=False when data is already a copy - -In pipeline nodes that call `mask_invalid()` after already copying data (DimensionReducer, -Histogrammer), pass through a parameter or check `owndata` to avoid re-copying. - -### Phase 5: Minor Optimizations - -#### 5a. Use np.shape() in shapes() - -Replace `np.array(self.data_vals(k)).shape` with `np.shape(self.data_vals(k))`. This handles -lists/tuples/arrays uniformly without allocating a new array. Safe for unvalidated data. - -#### 5b. Optimize datasets_are_equal() - -Short-circuit on shape mismatch before comparing values. - ---- - -## Expected Impact - -| Phase | Time Savings (per pipeline update) | Memory Savings | -|---|---|---| -| Phase 1 (copy(deep=False) + fix cascading) | 50–70% of copy time | 60–75% reduction | -| Phase 2 (skip redundant validation + optimize) | 60–80% of validate time | Negligible | -| Phase 3 (structure/extract targeted copy) | 30–50% of structure ops | Minor | -| Phase 4 (mask_invalid fast-path) | 95%+ when data is clean | 50% reduction | -| Phase 5 (Minor) | 5–10% misc | Minor | - -**Combined estimate for 100×100×100 MeshgridDataDict pipeline:** -- Current: ~500 ms, ~190 MB allocated (4.8× input) -- After all phases: ~50–80 ms, ~50–60 MB allocated (~1.3× input) - -## Implementation Order - -**Prerequisite**: Add comprehensive test coverage for copy semantics, data integrity through -pipeline, and edge cases (object arrays, complex data, masked data, custom field keys). - -Then: -1. **Phase 1a** (copy deep parameter) — foundation for everything else -2. **Phase 2a** (skip redundant validation) — highest ROI, low risk -3. **Phase 2b** (optimize monotonicity check) — high ROI, low risk -4. **Phase 1b** (fix cascading copies) — high ROI, needs test coverage first -5. **Phase 3a+3b** (structure/extract optimization) — medium ROI, low risk -6. **Phase 4a** (mask_invalid fast-path) — high ROI for clean data, low risk -7. **Phase 1c + Phase 4b + Phase 5** — incremental improvements - -## Risks & Considerations - -- **Shared array mutation**: With `copy(deep=False)`, if a node modifies array *contents* - in-place (e.g. `arr[0] = 5` or `arr *= 2`), it corrupts the original. Nodes must *replace* - arrays (`data['x']['values'] = new_arr`) rather than mutate them. This is already the common - pattern in most nodes, but must be verified with tests. -- **Backward compatibility**: `copy()` default is `deep=True`, preserving current behavior. - `deep=False` is opt-in. No external API is removed. -- **Testing prerequisite**: Before making any optimization changes, comprehensive tests must - verify: copy isolation, pipeline data integrity, edge cases (object arrays, None, complex, - masked), and custom field key preservation. - ---- - -## Execution Results +| `largest_numtype` (500K float) | 29.8 ms | 0.002 ms | ~15,000× | +| `mesh_500k_copy()` | 42.2 ms | 2.9 ms | 14.8× | +| `node_process` (500K mesh, steady state) | 7.4 ms | 0.15 ms | 50× | +| `_find_switches` (640K pts) | 80 ms | 31 ms | 2.6× | +| `datadict_to_meshgrid` (640K pts) | 175 ms | 71 ms | 2.5× | +| `mesh_500k_validate()` | 20.5 ms | 14.1 ms | 1.5× | -All optimizations implemented and tested. **173 tests pass** (0 failures). +**Real experimental data (P1386BB_00BE_datasets.db, steady-state refresh):** -### Changes Made - -| File | Changes | -|---|---| -| `plottr/data/datadict.py` | Added `_copy_field()` helper; rewrote `copy(deep=True/False)`; optimized `structure()` with `_build_structure()`; replaced `cp.deepcopy` in `extract()`; optimized `MeshgridDataDict.validate()` monotonicity check; added `mask_invalid()` fast-path for clean data; fixed `shapes()` to use `np.shape()`; optimized `datasets_are_equal()` | -| `plottr/node/dim_reducer.py` | Removed redundant `copy()` in `XYSelector.process()` | -| `plottr/node/grid.py` | Pass `copy=False` to `datadict_to_meshgrid()` | -| `test/pytest/test_datadict_copy_semantics.py` | 64 new tests for copy semantics | -| `test/pytest/test_pipeline_coverage.py` | 63 new tests for pipeline coverage | - -### Benchmark Comparison (Baseline -> Final) - -| Benchmark | Before (ms) | After (ms) | Speedup | Notes | +| Dataset | Data Size | Before | After | Speedup | |---|---|---|---|---| -| **mesh_500k_copy** | 42.2 | 2.9 | **14.8x** | copy() no longer calls structure()/validate() | -| **mesh_50k_copy** | 2.7 | 0.4 | **6.1x** | Same optimization, smaller data | -| **tab_10k_copy** | 0.23 | 0.15 | **1.5x** | Smaller effect on tabular data | -| **mesh_500k_validate** | 20.5 | 14.1 | **1.5x** | Removed np.unique/np.sign overhead | -| **mesh_500k_structure** | 20.3 | 13.9 | **1.5x** | _build_structure() skips re-validation | -| **mesh_50k_mask_invalid** | 10.0 | 9.1 | **1.1x** | Fast-path skips clean data | -| **mesh_500k_mask_invalid (mem)** | 19537 KB | 0.3 KB | **~0** | No allocation for clean data | -| **pipeline_4stage** | 8.2 | 5.7 | **1.4x** | Cumulative improvement | -| **equality_5k** | 1.4 | 1.2 | **1.1x** | Shape short-circuit + set ops | - -### Bug Fixed - -- `copy()` previously did not deep-copy global mutable metadata (e.g., `dd.add_meta('info', {'key': 'val'})`).

Eliminates massive -memory spikes when loading. This is a 1-line fix each. - -#### Node.process() Redundant structure() Call - -**File:** `plottr/node/node.py:282` - -**Problem:** `dstruct = dataIn.structure(add_shape=False)` is called on every -pipeline update in every node.

But the result is only stored for signal emission — the actual -change detection at lines 293-308 uses axes/deps/type/shapes which are already computed -at lines 279-281. - -**Fix:** Replace with a lazy approach — only compute structure when it's actually needed -(i.e., when `_structChanged` is True): -`python -dstruct = None # defer computation -# ... change detection using axes/deps/type ... -if _structChanged: - dstruct = dataIn.structure(add_shape=False) -self.dataStructure = dstruct if dstruct is not None else self.dataStructure -` - -**Impact:** Eliminates the single most expensive call in the pipeline hot path for -steady-state operation (when structure doesn't change between updates). For 500K-element -MeshgridDataDict: saves ~14ms per node per update. - -### Tier 2: High Impact - -#### Plot Complex Data: Replace deepcopy with Targeted Copy - -**File:** `plottr/plot/base.py:456, 488, 517` - -**Problem:** `_splitComplexData()` uses `deepcopy(re_plotItem)` to create Real/Imag or -Mag/Phase split views. This deep-copies the entire PlotItem including array data references -and all metadata. Called on every plot update for complex-valued data. - -**Fix:** PlotItem is a dataclass — use `dataclasses.replace()` or manual copy: -`python -from dataclasses import replace -im_plotItem = replace(re_plotItem, - id=re_plotItem.id + 1, - data=list(re_plotItem.data), - labels=list(re_plotItem.labels) if re_plotItem.labels else None, -) -` - -**Impact:** 2-5x faster rendering for complex-valued plots. - -#### Signal Emission Overhead in Nodes - -**File:** `plottr/node/node.py:316-334` - -**Problem:** Up to 7 Qt signals are emitted per data update in each node. On first data -arrival, ALL signals fire (lines 284-290). Each signal can trigger widget updates and -downstream processing. - -**Opportunities:** -- `dataFieldsChanged` (line 323) is redundant — it emits `daxes + ddeps` which - is just the union of `dataAxesChanged` and `dataDependentsChanged` -- `newDataStructure` (line 330) carries structure+shapes+type, overlapping with - `dataStructureChanged` (line 329) + `dataShapesChanged` (line 334) - -**Fix (conservative):** Remove `dataFieldsChanged` and have listeners use -`dataAxesChanged` + `dataDependentsChanged` instead. Connect `newDataStructure` -only where both structure and shapes are needed together. - -**Fix (aggressive):** Coalesce all signals into a single `dataChanged(dict)` signal -carrying change flags. Reduces signal/slot overhead from 7 to 1. - -#### largest_numtype() Flattens Entire Array - -**File:** `plottr/utils/num.py:28` - -**Problem:** `types = {type(a) for a in np.array(arr).flatten()}` iterates every -element of the array as a Python object to collect types. For a 1M-element array, -this creates 1M Python objects. - -**Fix:** Use numpy's dtype system directly: -`python -def largest_numtype(arr, include_integers=True): - arr = np.asarray(arr) - if np.issubdtype(arr.dtype, np.complexfloating): - return complex - if np.issubdtype(arr.dtype, np.floating): - return float - if include_integers and np.issubdtype(arr.dtype, np.integer): - return float # promote to float for plotting - # Only fall back to element-scanning for object arrays - if arr.dtype == object: - types = {type(a) for a in arr.ravel() if a is not None} - # ... existing logic ... - return None -` - -**Impact:** ~100x faster for numeric arrays (avoids Python-level iteration entirely). - -### Tier 3: Medium Impact - -#### is_invalid() Allocates Unnecessary Zero Array - -**File:** `plottr/utils/num.py:57-65` - -**Problem:** For non-float arrays, creates `np.zeros(a.shape, dtype=bool)` just to -OR with the None check.

Every update re-processes -the entire data through every node. For live monitoring where data is appended -incrementally, this means re-gridding, re-reducing, and re-plotting everything. - -**Opportunity:** Add lightweight change detection: -- Track data version/hash at the DataDict level -- Nodes check if their input actually changed before processing -- For append-only updates, nodes could process only new data - -#### Fitter Node: No Memoization - -**File:** `plottr/node/fitter.py:624-650` - -**Problem:** The fitting algorithm runs on every `process()` call even if the data -and fit parameters haven't changed. For complex models this can take 100ms-1s. - -**Fix:** Cache fit results keyed on (data hash, model, parameters). - -#### ScaleUnits: Redundant Per-Update Computation - -**File:** `plottr/node/scaleunits.py:129-135` - -**Problem:** `find_scale_and_prefix()` scans the full array (`np.nanmax(np.abs(data))`) -for every field on every update. - -**Fix:** Cache the scale prefix and only recompute when the data range changes -significantly (e.g., order of magnitude difference). - -#### Histogrammer: No Result Caching - -**File:** `plottr/node/histogram.py:132-217` - -**Problem:** Histogram recomputed on every update even when data, nbins, and axis -haven't changed. - -**Fix:** Cache histogram results, invalidate only when inputs change. - -### Tier 5: xarray Consideration - -**Finding:** Plottr does NOT use xarray at all despite listing it as a dependency. -xarray could theoretically provide lazy loading from HDF5, chunked computation, and -better memory management.

The original path through node signalOption/setOption relies on _emitGuiChange flag which the batch emit bypassed. Records counter: Read run_description to extract shapes, compute record count as product of shape dimensions. Falls back chain: results table rows -> shape from run_description -> result_counter. Button layout: Use addLayout instead of addItem to keep buttons inside the NodeWidget's VBoxLayout (fixes separate window issue). label(): Use .get() with defaults for missing label/unit keys.
