1. Implementing Concurrent Execution of the Needle Contract Language

The basic framework design for concurrent execution has been completed, and strategies for task scheduling and resource management have been established. Multi-threading support has been implemented, allowing multiple contract requests to be processed simultaneously. Preliminary functional testing has been conducted to verify the correctness and stability of concurrent execution.

2. Optimizing the Global Instance of the Needle Virtual Machine

An analysis of the current memory usage of the global instance was performed, identifying redundant data and unnecessary instances. A memory pool management strategy was implemented to reduce memory fragmentation and improve memory usage efficiency. The access path for the global instance was optimized, shortening data retrieval times.

3. Optimizing System Variable Calls at Runtime in Needle

The storage structure for system variables was redesigned, adopting more efficient data structures to accelerate access speed. A caching mechanism was implemented to reduce redundant calls to system variables, enhancing runtime performance. Multiple rounds of testing were conducted to validate the performance of the optimized system variable calls in various scenarios.
