Subject: [PATCH] Add Python CUDA reduction benchmark with cuda.cccl

Introduces reduce_bench.py, a Python script to benchmark parallel reductions on NVIDIA GPUs using the cuda.cccl library, and updates the README with usage instructions and example output. This allows users to compare naive CuPy reductions with optimized CUDA JIT reductions from Python.

+### Python (CUDA DSL/JIT via cuda.cccl)
+
+Python users can now benchmark parallel reductions on NVIDIA GPUs using the new `reduce_bench.py` script, which leverages the [cuda.cccl](https://pypi.org/project/cuda-cccl/) library for efficient CUDA reductions and kernel fusion from Python. This script compares the performance of naive CuPy reductions with the new Pythonic JIT-ed kernels.
+
+#### Requirements
+
+Install the required packages:
+
+```sh
+pip install cuda-cccl cupy numpy
+```
+
+#### Running the Python benchmark
+
+```sh
+python reduce_bench.py
+```
+
+You will see a table comparing the runtime (in microseconds) of naive CuPy reductions and the new cuda.cccl-based approach for various array sizes, along with the speedup factor.
+
+#### Example output
+
+```
+        Size |   Naive (us) |    CCCL (us) | Speedup
+--------------------------------------------------
+       10000 |      690.00 |       28.30 |  24.39x
+     1000000 |     6900.00 |      283.00 |  24.39x
+    ...
+```
+
+This demonstrates the impact of explicit kernel fusion and iterator-based reductions in Python, enabled by cuda.cccl.
+

 Optional backends:
 
 - To enable [Intel OpenCL](https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime/blob/master/README.md) on CPUs: `apt-get install intel-opencl-icd`.
