Description

Hello; I was working on optimizing some CUDA kernels and I thought may be it is a good oppurtunity learn langgraph as well. I created a simple C++ CUDA Test Harness and handed that to AI agents. They can run kernels, get benchmarks, and even can profile via nsight

Could you build this?

Yes It is a developer automation script using LangGraph to compile C++ CUDA code, execute Nsight benchmarks via CLI, and iterate based on stdout logs.
