Hardware acceleration profiler

Build tools to analyze and optimize for Apple's Neural Engine and similar specialized processors. For developers pushing mobile ML limits.

Why now

As mobile ML grows, developers need better tools to leverage dedicated hardware beyond generic profiling.

Who for
Mobile ML developers
Business model
Developer tools
Effort
A few months

Developers using specialized hardware like ANE lack visibility into optimization opportunities.

Create profiling tools that map operations to hardware capabilities, suggesting architecture-specific optimizations.

Target framework developers and performance-critical app teams with paid licenses.

Start with basic instrumentation for common workflows.

Risk: Niche market with rapid hardware iteration.
