Estimated code review effort

🎯 5 (Critical) | ⏱️ ~120 minutes

  • Areas needing extra attention:
    • Unsafe pointer logic and SIMD intrinsics in SimdKernels, GemmKernel and ConvolutionKernel (correctness, bounds, tail handling).
    • Parallel/blocking strategies and cache-blocking constants in GemmKernel and CacheOptimizer.
    • PlatformDetector heuristics (feature detection, cache size estimates) and cross-platform conditional code paths.
    • Thread-safety and cache invalidation in CustomOperatorRegistry.
    • New public surface: Tensor/Vector Data properties — auditing potential ABI/behavior implications.
    • GPU context change (.EnableAlgorithms()) impact on supported devices and tests.

Possibly related PRs

  • ooples/AiDotNet#435 — Overlaps the InferenceOptimization kernels and benchmarks (AttentionKernel, GemmKernel, SimdKernels); likely very closely related.

Poem

🐰 I hopped through caches, tiles in a row,

AVX winds whisper, NEON dreams glow,
Kernels aligned, attention takes flight,
Benchmarks hum softly into the night,
A twitch, a nibble—performance delight!
