+NCCL Collective Algorithm Auto-Selector
+========================================
+Topology- and message-size-aware algorithm selector for AllReduce,
+AllGather, and ReduceScatter that automatically chooses the optimal
+Ring/Tree/NVLS/PAT algorithm based on message size and topology scale.
+
+Based on the NCCL algorithm selection framework.
+
+Usage:
+  python algorithm_selector.py --benchmark    # Profile current topology
+  python algorithm_selector.py --select 64MB  # Get recommended algorithm
+  python algorithm_selector.py --generate-table  # Generate selection table
