# Memory usage grows linearly with dataset size
# Formula: Memory = Base + (Dataset_Size * 0.007) MB
# Example:
# 1,000 points: ~7 MB
# 10,000 points: ~70 MB
# 100,000 points: ~700 MB
# Most operations are O(n) or O(n log n)
# Technical indicators: O(n)
# Portfolio optimization: O(n) to O(n)
# LSTM training: O(n * epochs * features)
1. Use Appropriate Data Types
# Use float32 instead of float64 for large datasets
df = df .astype ('float32' )
# Use categorical data types for strings
df ['symbol' ] = df ['symbol' ].astype ('category' )
2. Enable Multi-threading
import os
os .environ ['OMP_NUM_THREADS' ] = '4'
os .environ ['MKL_NUM_THREADS' ] = '4'
3. Use Chunking for Large Datasets
# Process data in chunks
chunk_size = 1000
for chunk in pd .read_csv ('large_data.csv' , chunksize = chunk_size ):
# Process chunk
pass
# Use GPU for LSTM training
import torch
if torch .cuda .is_available ():
device = torch .device ('cuda' )
model = model .to (device )

Performance Recommendations
For Small Datasets (< 1,000 points)
Use default settings
No special optimization needed
All features perform well
For Medium Datasets (1,000 - 10,000 points)
Consider using float32 data types
Enable multi-threading
Use chunking for data processing
For Large Datasets (> 10,000 points)
Use GPU acceleration for ML features
Implement data chunking
Consider distributed processing
Monitor memory usage
For Real-time Applications
Use pre-computed indicators where possible
Implement caching strategies
Consider using faster libraries for critical paths
Optimize data structures
