Problem: Exit button appeared in middle of OpenCL graph during multi-backend run
Solution: Removed absolute positioning (SetCursorPosY), now uses normal flow
Result: Button always appears at bottom, centered, accessible
Problem: "Only vector add damn it!" Solution: Implemented ALL 9 missing benchmark functions:
- ✅ MatrixMul × 3 backends (CUDA, OpenCL, DirectCompute)
- ✅ Convolution × 3 backends
- ✅ Reduction × 3 backends
Total: 12 benchmarks (4 types × 3 backends)
Problem: "VectorAdd completes in milliseconds" Solution: MASSIVELY increased problem sizes:
- VectorAdd: 100M elements (was 1M) - 100× larger!
- MatrixMul: 2048×2048 matrices - NEW, compute-intensive
- Convolution: 2048×2048 image, 9×9 kernel - NEW
- Reduction: 64M elements - NEW, tests synchronization
- Iterations: 20 (was 50)
- VectorAdd: 200M elements (800MB)
- MatrixMul: 4096×4096 matrices - EXTREMELY demanding
- Convolution: 4096×4096 image - Large-scale image processing
- Reduction: 128M elements (512MB)
- Iterations: 30
