"""Three-layer GPU autoscaling simulator — stdlib Python. Compares three autoscaling strategies on the same bursty workload: DUTY_CYCLE : HPA on DCGM_FI_DEV_GPU_UTIL (the broken default) QUEUE_DEPTH : HPA on request queue depth (correct signal) KAI_GANG : Gang-scheduled with topology awareness (prevents partial alloc) Reports dropped requests, idle GPU-minutes, and composite score. Pedagogical: latencies and provisioning times are illustrative.
