# Neural Trader Memory Systems
High-performance memory systems for multi-agent coordination in neural-trader.
## Architecture
### Three-Tier Memory Hierarchy
1. **L1: Hot Cache** (`cache/hot.rs`)
- Lock-free concurrent hashmap with DashMap
- Sub-microsecond lookup (<1μs p99)
- LRU eviction policy
- Thread-safe without locks
2. **L2: Vector Database** (`agentdb/`)
- AgentDB integration for semantic search
- HNSW indexing (150x faster than linear scan)
- <1ms vector search (p95)
- Persistent storage
3. **L3: Cold Storage** (`agentdb/storage.rs`)
- Sled embedded database
- Long-term persistence
- Automatic tiering from L1/L2
## Features
### ReasoningBank (`reasoningbank/`)
- **Trajectory Tracking**: Record agent decision paths
- **Verdict Judgment**: Compare predicted vs actual outcomes
- **Memory Distillation**: Compress and extract patterns
- **Feedback Loops**: Continuous learning from experience
### Cross-Agent Coordination (`coordination/`)
- **Pub/Sub Messaging**: Topic-based agent communication
- **Distributed Locks**: Prevent race conditions in critical sections
- **Consensus Engine**: Raft-inspired voting for decisions
- **Namespace Management**: Isolated agent state (`swarm/[agent-id]/[key]`)
## Performance Targets

## Usage
### Basic Operations
```rust
use nt_memory::*;
// Initialize memory system
let config = MemoryConfig::default();
let memory = MemorySystem::new(config).await?;
// Store data
memory.put("agent_1", "position", position_data).await?;
// Retrieve data (tries L1 -> L2 -> L3)
let data = memory.get("agent_1", "position").await?;
// Semantic search
let results = memory.search_similar(
"agent_1",
query_embedding,
top_k: 10
).await?;
```
### Trajectory Tracking
```rust
// Create trajectory
let mut trajectory = Trajectory::new("agent_1".to_string());
trajectory.add_observation(
serde_json::json!({"price": 100.0}),
Some(embedding_vector)
);
trajectory.add_action(
"buy".to_string(),
serde_json::json!({"quantity": 10}),
predicted_outcome: Some(110.0)
);
trajectory.add_outcome(105.0);
// Track it
memory.track_trajectory(trajectory).await?;
```
### Cross-Agent Communication
```rust
// Subscribe to agent messages
let mut rx = memory.subscribe("agent_1/updates").await?;
// Publish message
memory.publish("agent_1/updates", message).await?;
// Receive
let msg = rx.recv().await?;
```
### Distributed Locks
```rust
// Acquire lock
let token = memory.acquire_lock(
"shared_resource",
timeout: Duration::from_secs(1)
).await?;
// Critical section
// ...
// Release lock
memory.release_lock(&token).await?;
```
### Consensus Voting
```rust
// Submit proposal
let proposal = Proposal {
id: String::new(),
proposer: "agent_1".to_string(),
data: serde_json::json!({"action": "rebalance"}),
quorum: 0.67, // Need 2/3 approval
};
let proposal_id = memory.consensus.submit_proposal(proposal).await;
// Vote
let result = memory.consensus.vote(Vote {
proposal_id: proposal_id.clone(),
voter: "agent_2".to_string(),
approve: true,
weight: 1.0,
}).await?;
// Check result
match result {
ConsensusResult::Approved => println!("Consensus reached!"),
ConsensusResult::Rejected => println!("Proposal rejected"),
ConsensusResult::Pending { .. } => println!("Waiting for more votes"),
}
```

## Integration with Other Agents
### Agent 2: MCP Tools

memory.put("models", "strategy_v1", model_weights).await?;
```
### Agent 5: Strategy Performance
```rust
// Track strategy metrics
memory.put("strategies", "momentum_stats", stats).await?;
```
### Agent 6: Risk Metrics
```rust
// Store risk calculations
memory.put("risk", "var_calculation", var_data).await?;
```
### Agent 7: Multi-Market State
```rust
// Coordinate across markets
let lock = memory.acquire_lock("market_sync", timeout).await?;
// ... synchronize state ...
memory.release_lock(&lock).await?;
```
### Agent 9: Distributed Systems
```rust
// Swarm coordination
memory.publish("swarm/coordination", message).await?;
let mut rx = memory.subscribe("swarm/coordination").await?;
```
### Agent 10: Test Results

// Store test outcomes
memory.put("tests", "backtest_results", results).await?;
```
