# exo-backend-classical
Classical compute backend for the EXO-AI cognitive substrate with SIMD
acceleration. Implements the `SubstrateBackend` trait from `exo-core` on
standard CPU hardware, optimised for throughput and energy efficiency.
## Features
- **SIMD-accelerated vector operations** -- uses platform SIMD intrinsics
(SSE4.2, AVX2, NEON) for fast dot products, cosine similarity, and
element-wise transforms.
- **Dither quantization integration** -- applies stochastic dithered
quantization to compress activations while preserving gradient signal.
- **Thermodynamic layer (thermorust)** -- wraps every compute step with
Landauer energy accounting so the substrate can track real
thermodynamic cost.
- **Domain bridge with Thompson sampling** -- routes cross-domain
queries to the most promising transfer path using Thompson sampling
over historical success rates.
- **Transfer orchestrator** -- coordinates end-to-end knowledge
transfers across domains.
- **5-phase cross-domain transfer pipeline** -- executes transfers
through assess, align, project, adapt, and validate phases for
reliable domain migration.
## Quick Start
Add the dependency to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
exo-backend-classical = "0.1"
```
Basic usage:
```rust
use exo_backend_classical::ClassicalBackend;
use exo_core::SubstrateBackend;
let backend = ClassicalBackend::new()
.with_simd(true)
.with_dither_quantization(8); // 8-bit dithered
// Run a forward pass
let output = backend.forward(&input_tensor)?;
// Check thermodynamic cost
println!("Energy: {:.4} kT", backend.energy_cost());
// Cross-domain transfer (5-phase pipeline)
let result = backend.transfer("vision", "language", &payload)?;
println!("Transfer score: {:.4}", result.quality);
```
## Crate Layout
| Module | Purpose |
|-------------|----------------------------------------------|
| `simd` | Platform-specific SIMD kernels |

| `thermo` | Landauer energy tracking (thermorust) |
| `bridge` | Domain bridge with Thompson sampling |
| `transfer` | 5-phase cross-domain transfer orchestrator |
## Requirements
- Rust 1.78+
- Depends on `exo-core`
- Optional: AVX2-capable CPU for best SIMD performance
