//! Backend Performance Benchmarking for Distributed Training //! //! This module provides infrastructure for comparing performance and //! feature parity between different communication backends (NCCL, RCCL, TCP). //! //! # Features //! //! - Latency and bandwidth measurements for all collective operations //! - Automatic NCCL vs RCCL parity verification //! - Customizable message sizes and iteration counts //! - Report generation in multiple formats //! //! # Example //! //! ```rust,ignore //! use rtx_distributed::backend_benchmark::{BackendBenchmark, BenchmarkConfig}; //! //! let config = BenchmarkConfig::default(); //! let mut benchmark = BackendBenchmark::new(config); //! let results = benchmark.run().await?; //! let report = benchmark.generate_report(); //! println!("{}", report);
