Performance Tests for Module 16: Hardware Acceleration
Tests whether the acceleration techniques actually provide measurable speedups
over baseline implementations.
Key questions:
- Does blocked matrix multiplication actually improve cache performance?
- How much faster is NumPy compared to naive loops?
- Does the smart backend system work correctly?
- Are the claimed 10-100× speedups realistic?
