Performance — Conceptual Overview
Audience: Implementers, Architects Governance Rule: DGP-30
1. What Performance Refers To
Performance in MPLP refers to the efficiency dimension that concerns system resource utilization and response characteristics. It is explicitly out of protocol scope for normative definition.
Performance is not a protocol requirement. MPLP deliberately avoids performance mandates to preserve implementation freedom.
2. Conceptual Areas Related to Performance
| Conceptual Area | Description |
|---|---|
| Cost Budget Events | Relates to optional token/cost tracking events |
| VSL Caching | Concerns implementation optimization patterns |
| AEL Parallelization | Is involved in runtime efficiency considerations |
3. What Performance Explicitly Does NOT Do
- ❌ Define latency requirements
- ❌ Mandate throughput targets
- ❌ Prescribe resource limits
- ❌ Require specific optimization strategies
This is intentional protocol design.
4. Where Related Semantics Are Discussed
| Source | What It Covers |
|---|---|
| L1-L4 Architecture Deep Dive | VSL caching, AEL parallelization (non-normative) |
| Cost Budget Event | Optional token/cost tracking |
5. MPLP's Position on Performance
MPLP v1.0 explicitly excludes performance requirements. Runtime performance is an implementation concern, not a protocol concern.
This is documented in docs/00-index/docs-usage-boundary.md.
