-## implemented
-- 1 to n engines per group
-- 1 to n threads running on one specific core / dsa engine
-- copy inside and across NUMA borders
-- cross-copy: 2 engines copying from their numa domain to the domain of the other
-- all with "packet sizes" of 1KiB, 2KiB, 4KiB, 8KiB, ..., 1GiB
-- all with both CPU and DSA for comparison
-## missing
-- batch vs single submissions
-- effect of fence/drain
