Oleksandr Pavlyk 20b3bd3148 Add nvbench_compare presets and rare-support-aware bulk coverage
Introduce comparison threshold presets in nvbench_compare and thread the
selected preset through main() into compare_benches.

Refine bulk nearest-neighbor support handling by:
  - adding rare-support filtering thresholds
  - ignoring low-count support values only when removed sample mass is small
  - falling back to full support for all-unique or otherwise unusable support
  - keeping sample-weight coverage over all values

Tighten bulk mismatch reporting to show compact min(ref, cmp) coverage
summaries, and add tests covering:
  - rare-tail filtering
  - strict fallback when too much support mass would be removed
  - all-unique support preservation
  - preset lookup and CLI preset propagation

CUDA Kernel Benchmarking Package

This package provides a Python API to the CUDA Kernel Benchmarking Library NVBench.

Installation

Install from PyPi

pip install cuda-bench[cu13]  # For CUDA 13.x
pip install cuda-bench[cu12]  # For CUDA 12.x

Building from source

Ensure recent version of CMake

Since nvbench requires a rather new version of CMake (>=3.30.4), either build CMake from sources, or create a conda environment with a recent version of CMake, using

conda create -n build_env --yes  cmake ninja
conda activate build_env

Ensure CUDA compiler

Since building NVBench library requires CUDA compiler, ensure that appropriate environment variables are set. For example, assuming CUDA toolkit is installed system-wide, and assuming Ampere GPU architecture:

export CUDACXX=/usr/local/cuda/bin/nvcc
export CUDAARCHS=86

Build Python project

Now switch to python folder, configure and install NVBench library, and install the package in editable mode:

cd nvbench/python
pip install -e .

Verify that package works

python test/run_1.py
