Calling GC.GetTotalMemory(false) for memory profiling can be misleading and adds overhead. GC.GetTotalMemory(false) returns the total managed heap size, not the actual memory allocated by a specific operation, and memory can be allocated and garbage collected between start and end measurements. The memory delta may be negative if a GC occurs during the operation. Consider using GC.GetAllocatedBytesForCurrentThread() (available in .NET Core 3.0+) for more accurate per-operation allocation tracking.

The AdvSimd.Arm64.AddAcross method is only available on ARM64, not on ARM32. This will throw an exception on 32-bit ARM platforms. The code should check AdvSimd.Arm64.IsSupported before calling ARM64-specific intrinsics, or provide a fallback for ARM32 platforms that only have AdvSimd support.

The DetectCudaSupport() method doesn't actually detect CUDA support. It only checks if the platform is Windows/Linux and 64-bit, which is misleading. This could lead to incorrect assumptions about GPU availability in the application. Consider renaming to IsCudaCapablePlatform() or returning false until actual CUDA detection is implemented.

The AddOrUpdate method's update function is not thread-safe. The existing object is being modified in place, but since OperationStats is a class with mutable properties, multiple threads could modify the same object concurrently, leading to race conditions. Consider using Interlocked operations or creating a new immutable OperationStats object in the update function instead of mutating the existing one.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The AddOrUpdate pattern has a race condition. After updating the list in the update function, another thread could retrieve the old cached operator from _selectedOperators before line 52 removes it. Additionally, multiple threads calling Register simultaneously could interleave between the AddOrUpdate and TryRemove, causing some threads to use stale cached operators. Consider using a lock around both operations or using ConcurrentDictionary.AddOrUpdate with TryRemove inside the update function's lock.
