// BenchmarkPulsarSign measures the wall-clock cost of the 2-round
// Pulsar threshold protocol's *online* phase (Round1 + Round2 +
// Finalize, given a fresh GenerateKeysTrustedDealer epoch). The IEEE S&P 2025
// Pulsar evaluation calls out a 0.6 s online phase across 5
// continents at the production shape; this bench gives the local
// upper bound (network RTT is excluded; the cost here is pure CPU /
// GPU compute).
//
// HONEST PERFORMANCE NOTE.
//
// At corona's production ring degree N=256 the single-poly Metal NTT
// is slower than the pure-Go ring.SubRing.NTT (lattice/gpu's own
// header documents this for every N up to 16384). The default
// corona/gpu threshold = 1024 keeps single-poly dispatch OFF at
// N=256, so BenchmarkPulsarSign_*_GPU here is effectively the same
// kernel as the CPU bench with a small dispatcher branch cost; bench
// noise dominates the comparison.
//
// The GPU win for Pulsar requires a BATCHED dispatch path that calls
// lattice/gpu.MontgomeryNTTContext.Forward(data, batch>=4) at the
// engine layer, bypassing the per-poly r.NTT() pinch point. That
// kernel slot exists (see lattice/gpu/gpu_cgo.go::BatchNTT) but is
// not yet plumbed through r.NTT — that's the v0.6+ NIST submission
// pipeline work (the dealerless DKG GPU path now lives in the shared
// github.com/luxfi/dkg library).
//
// CPU vs GPU pairs (one bench function each) let `go test -bench .`
// emit a side-by-side comparison without bench-fixture trickery; the
// GPU bench remains useful as a regression watchdog (any change that
// adds non-trivial dispatcher overhead will show up here).
