9    * Represents an OpenCL platform providing access to compute devices and their capabilities.
10   * 
11   * <p>Platform encapsulates the information about an OpenCL platform, which is a vendor-specific implementation of the
12   * OpenCL specification. Each platform represents a collection of OpenCL devices (CPUs, GPUs, accelerators) provided by
13   * a single vendor with consistent runtime behavior.
14   * 
15   * <p>Key platform characteristics include:
16   * <ul>
17   * <li><strong>Vendor identification</strong>: Platform vendor (AMD, NVIDIA, Intel, etc.)</li>
18   * <li><strong>Capability profile</strong>: FULL_PROFILE or EMBEDDED_PROFILE feature support</li>
19   * <li><strong>Version support</strong>: OpenCL specification version implemented</li>
20   * <li><strong>Extension support</strong>: Additional features beyond the core specification</li>
21   * <li><strong>Device count</strong>: Number of compute devices available on this platform</li>
22   * </ul>
23   * 
24   * <p>Platform selection considerations:
25   * <ul>
26   * <li><strong>Vendor optimization</strong>: Different vendors may optimize for different workloads</li>
27   * <li><strong>Feature requirements</strong>: Embedded profiles may lack required features</li>
28   * <li><strong>Version compatibility</strong>: Newer OpenCL versions provide additional features</li>
29   * <li><strong>Extension dependencies</strong>: Some algorithms may require specific extensions</li>
30   * <li><strong>Device availability</strong>: Platforms must have compatible devices</li>
31   * </ul>
32   * 
33   * <p>Common filtering patterns:
34   * 
35   * <pre>{@code
36   * // Select platforms with full OpenCL profile support
37   * Predicate<Platform> fullProfileFilter = platform -> platform.profile() == PlatformProfile.FULL_PROFILE;
38   * 
39   * // Select platforms from specific vendors
40   * Predicate<Platform> vendorFilter = platform -> platform.vendor().toLowerCase().contains("nvidia")
41   * 		|| platform.vendor().toLowerCase().contains("amd");
42   * 
43   * // Select platforms with minimum OpenCL version
44   * Predicate<Platform> versionFilter = platform -> {
45   * 	String version = platform.version();
46   * 	return version.contains("2.") || version.contains("3.");
47   * };
48   * 
49   * // Select platforms with required extensions
50   * Predicate<Platform> extensionFilter = platform -> platform.extensions().contains("cl_khr_fp64");
51   * 
52   * // Combine filters for comprehensive platform selection
53   * Predicate<Platform> combinedFilter = fullProfileFilter.and(versionFilter).and(platform -> platform.numDevices() > 0);
54   * }</pre>
55   * 
56   * <p>Platform discovery workflow:
57   * <ol>
58   * <li><strong>Enumeration</strong>: System discovers all available OpenCL platforms</li>
59   * <li><strong>Information query</strong>: Platform properties are read from OpenCL runtime</li>
60   * <li><strong>Model creation</strong>: Platform objects are created with discovered information</li>
61   * <li><strong>Filtering</strong>: User-defined predicates select appropriate platforms</li>
62   * <li><strong>Device discovery</strong>: Selected platforms are queried for available devices</li>
63   * </ol>
64   * 
65   * <p>Performance implications:
66   * <ul>
67   * <li><strong>Driver optimization</strong>: Platform vendors optimize for their hardware</li>
68   * <li><strong>Memory models</strong>: Different platforms may have different memory hierarchies</li>
69   * <li><strong>Kernel compilation</strong>: Platform-specific optimizations during compilation</li>
70   * <li><strong>Runtime behavior</strong>: Platform-specific scheduling and resource management</li>
71   * </ul>
72   * 
73   * <p>Error handling considerations:
74   * <ul>
75   * <li><strong>Platform availability</strong>: Platforms may become unavailable at runtime</li>
76   * <li><strong>Version compatibility</strong>: Kernels may require specific OpenCL versions</li>
77   * <li><strong>Extension support</strong>: Missing extensions may cause compilation failures</li>
78   * <li><strong>Device enumeration</strong>: Platform may have no compatible devices</li>
79   * </ul>
