+# Interactive Dashboard
+
+A comprehensive Streamlit dashboard for exploring space-time tradeoffs in computing systems.
+
+## Features
+
+### 1. Overview Page
+- Visualizes Williams' theoretical bound: TIME[t] ⊆ SPACE[√(t log t)]
+- Shows the fundamental space-time tradeoff curve
+- Compares theoretical vs practical bounds
+
+### 2. Theoretical Explorer
+- Interactive parameter adjustment
+- Real-time visualization of space requirements for given time bounds
+- Constant factor analysis
+
+### 3. Experimental Results
+- **Maze Solver**: BFS vs memory-limited algorithms
+- **Sorting**: In-memory vs checkpointed sorting
+- **Streaming**: Sliding window performance
+- Summary of all experimental findings
+
+### 4. Real-World Systems
+- **Databases**: Query optimization and join algorithms
+- **LLMs**: Memory optimization techniques
+- **Distributed Computing**: MapReduce and shuffle optimization
+
+### 5. Tradeoff Calculator
+- Input your system parameters
+- Get recommendations for optimal configurations
+- Compare different strategies
+
+### 6. Interactive Demos
+- Sorting visualizer
+- Cache hierarchy simulator
+- Live demonstrations of space-time tradeoffs
+
+## Running the Dashboard
+
+### Option 1: Using the launcher script
+```bash
+cd dashboard
+python run_dashboard.py
+```
+
+### Option 2: Direct streamlit command
+```bash
+cd dashboard
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+streamlit run app.py
+```
+
+The dashboard will open in your default browser at http://localhost:8501
+
+## Technology Stack
