//! IMP-600b: GPU vs SIMD Benchmark for Matrix-Vector Multiplication
//!
//! Popperian Falsification Test:
//! CLAIM: "trueno wgpu GPU CANNOT match llama.cpp cuBLAS performance for matvec"
//!
//! KEY INSIGHT: For LLM token generation, n=1, making matmul a MATVEC operation.
//! Research shows cuBLAS "hurts more than helps" for matvec due to latency overhead.
//!
//! Run: cargo run --example gpu_matvec_benchmark --features gpu
