Research direction

Start with the linked pipeline_parallelism package and its AlexNet example, then review how performance is currently observed and whether the named nsys profiler can expose pipeline bubbles. Done would require a clearly scoped profiling workflow and documented interpretation of the resulting bubble measurements.
