analytical-viz: auto_hardware.py — joint HW×parallelism explore

New module extends auto_explore into the hardware co-design space. For a fixed model + workload, sweeps hardware knobs (pe_hbm_gb, bw_hbm_gbs, peak_tflops_f16, bw_intra_gbs, bw_inter_gbs, bw_intersip_gbs) and, for each hardware candidate, searches parallelism for the latency-minimum that fits memory. Returns: - all_scores: every (hw, parallelism) pair that fits, sorted by latency - pareto_scores: 2D Pareto frontier on (latency ↓, cost_score ↓) - sensitivity: per-knob rel_speedup when doubled from the best-fast HW baseline. Ranks which HW knob gives the biggest speedup — a co-design signal. Three sweep depths trade coverage for time: - two_stage: 1 HW candidate (defaults) × autosuggest's memory-min parallelism. Fast (~1s), useful for the sensitivity ranking alone. - balanced: 64 HW × ~2k reduced-parallelism configs = ~130k joint evals, ~10-20s. Default UI setting. - coarse: 729 HW × ~2k configs = ~1.4M joint evals, ~2-5 min. Reduced parallelism sweep for the inner loop: CP × TP × PP × DP × kv_shard_mode (1,920 configs), other 4 knobs held at latency-friendly defaults (ffn_shard_scope='TP+CP', tp_placement='cube', cp_placement='pe', cp_ring_variant='qoml' for decode, 'kv' for prefill). Full 28,800-config auto_explore per HW would take 6+ minutes — too slow. Cost proxy: sum of (knob / knob_default). 6.0 at defaults. Not dollars — a rough capability score where higher = "more spec'd hardware". Verified: - 9 pytest tests pass: * enumeration counts match expected (1, 64, 729) * default cost_score = 6.0 * Pareto non-dominated + subset of all_scores * every knob is monotone-non-worsening when doubled * for Llama 70B decode, bw_hbm_gbs tops the sensitivity ranking (physically correct: memory-bound workload) - Smoke: Llama 70B decode 128K balanced sweep in ~20s produces 5 Pareto configs; best 7.57 ms with 1024 GB/s HBM BW. Doubling HBM BW gives 33% additional speedup; every other knob < 1.5%. Next: Streamlit UI tab consuming this in Commit 5. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

+"""Joint hardware × parallelism exploration.
+
+For a fixed model + workload, sweep both:
+  - hardware parameters (MachineParams: pe_hbm_gb, bw_hbm_gbs, peak_tflops_f16,
+    bw_intra_gbs, bw_inter_gbs, bw_intersip_gbs), and
+  - parallelism knobs (a reduced subset of auto_explore's 9 knobs)
+
+Then rank on:
+  - latency ↓
+  - hardware cost proxy ↓  (normalized sum of knob-over-default)
+
+Also computes per-knob sensitivity — how much latency drops when each
+hardware knob is doubled from its baseline value. Useful for HW co-design
+("which knob to invest in first?").
+
+The default 'balanced' depth: 64 HW candidates × ~2k parallelism configs =
+~130k joint evaluations, ~1-5 s at analytical speeds. Coarse and
+two-stage variants trade coverage for speed.
