+## Methodology
+
+### Architectures under test
+
+| Architecture | Description |
+|---|---|
+| **FF DNN** | 784 → 128 → 128 → 10, ReLU + LayerNorm |
+| **CNN** | Conv64 (3×3) → BN → MaxPool → Conv128 (3×3) → BN → GAP → Dense10, input 32×32×3 |
+| **RNN** | 2-layer Vanilla RNN, hidden=128, seq=32 |
+| **LSTM** | 2-layer LSTM (4-gate), hidden=128, seq=32 |
+| **Transformer** | 2-layer encoder (MHA h=4 + FFN×4 + LayerNorm), embed=128, seq=32 |
+
+### Frameworks and optimisation variants
+
+| Framework | Baseline | Optimised | Notes |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| **PyTorch 2.14** | Eager | `torch.compile()` | Inductor backend, CPU |
+| **JAX 0.11** | Eager XLA | `jax.jit()` | Full XLA JIT with tracing |
+| **TensorFlow** | Eager | `tf.function()` | Graph mode, no XLA |
+
+### Measurement protocol
+
+- **Warmup:** 15 iterations (full compilation and cache warm)
+- **Timed repeats:** 40 samples per configuration
+- **Statistics reported:** median, mean, σ (stddev), CV (coefficient of variation), p95
+- **Roofline efficiency:** `min(1, lower_bound / observed)` where `lower_bound = max(FLOPs/peak_flops, bytes/bandwidth)`
+- **Batch sizes swept:** [1, 8, 32, 128]
+
+---
+
+## Figure 1 — Roofline Model (batch=32)
+
+Each point represents one architecture × framework combination (optimised variant).  
+The roofline ceiling shows the theoretical maximum given the hardware's compute and bandwidth limits.
+
+![Roofline](benchmarks/results/figures/fig1_roofline.png)
+
+**Key observations:**
+- All workloads fall well below the roofline ceiling on this CPU (typical for small-batch inference)
+- Most architectures are **memory-bound** (AI < 36 FLOP/byte ridge point); only LSTM and Transformer cross the ridge
+- JAX JIT achieves the highest effective throughput per FLOP across most architectures
+- CNN workloads cluster at lower arithmetic intensity due to the convolution memory pattern
+
+---
+
+## Figure 2 — Inference Latency by Architecture (batch=32)
+
+Error bars show ±1σ across 40 timed iterations.
+
+![Latency bars](benchmarks/results/figures/fig2_latency_bars.png)
+
+**Key observations:**
+- TensorFlow eager dispatch dominates latency for small, sequential workloads (RNN, LSTM)
+- PyTorch and JAX are within 2× of each other for compute-heavy architectures (CNN, Transformer)
+- `tf.function` substantially reduces TF latency but does not close the gap to PyTorch/JAX for recurrent models
+
+---
+
+## Figure 3 — Roofline Efficiency Heatmap (batch=32)
+
+Cells show efficiency as a percentage of the theoretical roofline bound.
+
+![Efficiency heatmap](benchmarks/results/figures/fig3_efficiency_heatmap.png)
+
+**Interpretation:**
+- Higher is better; 100% would mean perfect roofline utilisation
+- JAX JIT consistently achieves the highest efficiency across architectures
+- FF DNN and Transformer reach the highest relative efficiency (5–12%) due to their matrix-multiply dominance
+- Sequential models (RNN/LSTM) show the lowest efficiency because of loop-level overhead
+
+---
+
+## Figure 4 — Latency Scaling with Batch Size
+
+![Batch scaling](benchmarks/results/figures/fig4_batch_scaling.png)
+
+**Key observations:**
+- All frameworks show approximately linear latency growth with batch size (expected: workloads are memory-bound)
+- JAX JIT shows the most consistent scaling — early compilation amortises overhead across batch sizes
+- TensorFlow eager latency at batch=1 is disproportionately high due to Python dispatch overhead
+- PyTorch and JAX converge at larger batches where compute becomes the bottleneck
+
+---
+
+## Figure 5 — Compilation Speedup (baseline → optimised, batch=32)
+
+Speedup ratio = eager latency / optimised latency. Higher is better.
+
+![Speedup](benchmarks/results/figures/fig5_speedup.png)
+
+**Key observations:**
+- **`tf.function` is the biggest winner** for TensorFlow eager, delivering **14.2× speedup on FF DNN** and **17.6× on RNN** — TF eager's Python dispatch overhead is so large that graph compilation is transformative for sequential models
+- **`jax.jit` provides 1.7× on RNN/LSTM** at batch=32 — already fast eager XLA means the gains are modest at large batch; the gap widens dramatically at small batch (LSTM B=1: 99.5% roofline efficiency post-JIT)
+- **`torch.compile()` shows modest gains (0.8–1.1×)** — PyTorch eager is already well-optimized on CPU for these workloads; compile overhead can even slightly regress small batches (Transformer: 0.8×)
+- The key insight: compilation pays off most when the *framework overhead* is the bottleneck, not the kernels themselves
+
+---
+
+## Figure 6 — Achieved Throughput (GFLOP/s, batch=32)
+
+![Throughput](benchmarks/results/figures/fig6_throughput.png)
+
+---
+
+## Figure 7 — Measurement Noise (CV%, batch=32)
+
+Lower CV (%) indicates more stable, reproducible measurements.
+
+![CV heatmap](benchmarks/results/figures/fig7_cv_heatmap.png)
+
+**Interpretation:**
+- JAX JIT shows very low CV (<3%) — deterministic compilation produces stable execution times
+- TensorFlow eager shows high CV on recurrent models (Python-level branching introduces jitter)
+- PyTorch baseline shows moderate CV; `torch.compile()` significantly reduces it
+

+## Conclusions
+
+### 1. `tf.function` eliminates TensorFlow eager overhead — especially for sequential models
+
+TensorFlow eager mode carries the heaviest Python dispatch cost among the three frameworks:
+baseline RNN takes **64 ms** vs JAX eager at **1.5 ms** (43×). However, `tf.function`
+graph compilation removes this overhead almost entirely: TF RNN drops to **3.7 ms** (17.6×
+speedup), TF LSTM drops to **4.8 ms** (10.4× speedup), and TF FF DNN drops to **0.18 ms**
+(14.2× speedup). After compilation, TF is competitive with PyTorch for most architectures
+(within 2×) though still trails JAX JIT.
+
+### 2. `jax.jit` achieves near-roofline efficiency for recurrent models at small batch
+
+The most striking result: `jax.jit` LSTM at batch=1 achieves **99.5% roofline efficiency**
+(0.18 ms observed vs 0.18 ms theoretical bound). This is because JAX traces Python loops
+into a flat XLA computation graph, eliminating all per-timestep Python overhead. The gap
+closes again at large batch (B=128) where kernel execution time dominates.
+
+For feedforward and transformer models, JAX JIT provides **1.06–1.17×** speedup — gains
+are smaller because JAX eager already runs optimized XLA kernels for static-shape workloads.
+
+### 3. `torch.compile()` provides little benefit (and occasional regression) on CPU at small batch
+
+PyTorch eager is already highly optimized for CPU via MKL-DNN / OpenBLAS kernels. 
+`torch.compile()` adds compilation overhead and — at small batch — can regress latency
+(Transformer: **0.83×**, FF DNN: **0.31×** at batch=32). At batch=128, compile begins
+to pay off for CNN (+19%) and LSTM (slight improvement). The Inductor backend shines on
+GPU with tensor cores; on CPU it does not reliably beat hand-tuned eager kernels for these workloads.
+
+### 4. JAX wins 4 out of 5 architectures; TF `tf.function` wins CNN
+
+| Architecture | Winner (optimised) | Latency | Notes |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| FF DNN | **JAX jit** | 0.08 ms | 2.2× faster than TF, 2.5× faster than PyTorch |
+| CNN | **TF tf.function** | 5.01 ms | TF's conv2D kernel is fastest on M3 CPU |
+| RNN | **JAX jit** | 0.89 ms | 4.1× faster than PyTorch, 4.1× faster than TF |
+| LSTM | **JAX jit** | 2.64 ms | 1.8× faster than PyTorch, 1.8× faster than TF |
+| Transformer | **JAX jit** | 1.73 ms | 1.5× faster than PyTorch, 3.6× faster than TF |
+
+### 5. All workloads remain memory-bound at batch ≤ 128 on Apple M3 CPU
+
+The 36 FLOP/byte ridge point is never crossed in measured throughput. Roofline
+efficiency peaks at 17.5% (JAX LSTM, batch=32) and 11.5% (JAX Transformer).
+The gap is attributable to:
+- **Kernel launch overhead** (dominant at batch=1)
+- **Untiled matmul kernels** at small N (N=128 is below typical auto-tune thresholds)
+- **Memory allocation overhead** for intermediate activations
+- **Sequential loop overhead** for RNN/LSTM (eliminated by JAX JIT but not by PyTorch compile)
+
+To saturate the roofline, use batch ≥ 512, hidden dimension ≥ 512, or run on GPU.
+
+### 6. Measurement reliability: compiled variants are significantly more stable
+
+| Regime | Typical CV% | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| TF eager, recurrent | 3–8% | High jitter from Python scheduling |
+| PyTorch baseline | 2–10% | MKL threading variability |
+| JAX baseline | 1–5% | XLA deterministic even without JIT |
+| All compiled variants (B≥8) | <3% | Consistent after cache warm |
