1. f16 Performance: Measure f16 tensor operations
2. bf16 Performance: Measure bf16 tensor operations
3. Memory Comparison: Compare memory usage with baseline
4. Speed Comparison: Compare processing speed with baseline

Phase 3: Integration Measurements

1. End-to-End Performance: Measure complete workflow performance
2. Concurrent Performance: Measure multi-threaded performance
3. Scalability: Measure performance under load
