🧩 Core Components

1. CLI Interface (`cli/`)

Command Parser - Parse command line arguments
Validation Engine - Validate inputs and options
Help System - Provide contextual help
Configuration Manager - Handle config files

2. Benchmark Engine (`core/`)

Orchestrator - Main coordination logic
Scheduler - Task scheduling and queuing
Executor - Task execution management
Result Aggregator - Collect and process results

3. Strategy Framework (`strategies/`)

Each strategy implements the Strategy interface:

python

class Strategy(ABC):
    @abstractmethod
    async def execute(self, task: Task) -> Result:
        pass
    
    @abstractmethod
    def get_metrics(self) -> Dict[str, Any]:
        pass

4. Coordination Framework (`modes/`)

Each mode implements the CoordinationMode interface:

python

class CoordinationMode(ABC):
    @abstractmethod
    async def coordinate(self, agents: List[Agent], tasks: List[Task]) -> Results:
        pass
    
    @abstractmethod
    def get_coordination_metrics(self) -> Dict[str, Any]:
        pass

5. Metrics Collection (`metrics/`)

Performance Monitor - Time, throughput, latency
Resource Monitor - CPU, memory, network, disk
Quality Assessor - Result quality metrics
Coordination Analyzer - Communication overhead

6. Output Framework (`output/`)

JSON Writer - Structured data export
SQLite Manager - Database operations
Report Generator - Human-readable reports
Visualization - Charts and graphs

🔄 Data Flow

1. Input Processing

CLI Command → Validation → Configuration → Task Generation

2. Execution Flow

Task Queue → Strategy Selection → Agent Assignment → Coordination → Execution

3. Metrics Collection

Execution Events → Metric Collectors → Aggregation → Storage

4. Output Generation

Results → Processors → Formatters → Writers → Files/Database
