Interconnect-Aware Topology Simulator for Model Serving with Google ADK

Simulate network interconnect bottlenecks in multi-node TPU and GPU clusters for large model inference. Construct a multi-agent cluster topology simulator in Google ADK that models NVLink vs PCIe interconnect latency under tensor-parallel and pipeline-parallel workload distributions.
