Performance Analysis

Key Insights
  • Workspace Optimization: Pre-allocated workspace tensors provide the largest performance gain (15-141x for forward pass)
  • Throughput Scaling: Throughput improves with batch size, reaching 9.66 Melem/s at 100K points
  • Caching Caveat: Simple tensor caching shows minimal benefit; workspace reuse is more impactful
  • Memory Bandwidth: RTX 3050 Ti (4GB VRAM) handles PINN workloads efficiently for research-scale problems
