+- meassure ddr to ddr, intra-node

+All for 1KiB, 4KiB, 1MiB, 1GiB
+All for HW and also SW path
+--> conclude how much overhead DSA engine has
+--> conclude size after which using HW makes sense
+    this point is reached when submit overhead for
+    hw execution is smaller than entire copy time
+    for sw execution
+# submit // done
+- single submit-and-wait
+- multi submit
+- batch submit
+All with both 1 and 4 engines per WQ
+All for 1KiB, 4KiB, 1MiB, 1GiB but only ddr-ddr intra node
+--> conclude which work submission strategy is best for which size
+--> conclude whether multiple engines significantly improve batch perf
+# MT submit
+- multiple threads submit to the same WQ
+- use 1,2,4,8,12 threads
+All for 1KiB, 4KiB, 1MiB, 1GiB but only ddr-ddr intra node
+All for 1 vs 4 engines
+--> conclude how bad mt submit hurts performance
+--> conclude whether multiple engines help mt submit
+# cross copy // done
+- compare which is faster: xcopy, copy from source node, copy from dst node
+All for both inter-node and inter-socket copy using DDR and 1MiB on 4E
+--> conclude where a copy thread should live
