Description
I think it is confusing that None means "choose the fastest platform". I think something like auto or fastest would make more sense. This can be done in backwards compatible way by also keeping the None option.

Research direction
Start by locating the compute_platform entry point and any tests covering its None behavior. Read how platform selection is currently specified, then add the requested fastest option while preserving None compatibility. Done means both forms select the fastest platform and the relevant tests pass.
