match Device::new_cuda(0) {
    Ok(device) => /* RTX 3050 CUDA acceleration */,
    Err(_) => /* CPU fallback */,
}
```

**Memory Management:**
- **Target Memory Usage**: <3.2GB (80% of 4GB)
- **Model Memory Estimates**:
  - MAMBA: 512MB
  - TLOB: 256MB
  - DQN: 128MB
  - PPO: 192MB
  - Liquid: 384MB
  - TFT: 640MB

## 3. Ensemble Voting System

### ✅ Advanced Ensemble Implementation

**Voting Mechanism:**
```rust
// Weighted ensemble prediction
let total_weight: f64 = weights.iter().sum();
let weighted_prediction: f64 = predictions.iter()
    .zip(weights.iter())
    .map(|(pred, weight)| pred * weight)
    .sum::<f64>() / total_weight;

// Consensus scoring
let consensus_score = 1.0 / (1.0 + variance.sqrt());
```

**Features:**
- **Confidence-weighted voting**: Higher confidence models get more weight
- **Consensus scoring**: Measures prediction agreement across models
- **Dynamic rebalancing**: Adapts to model performance over time
- **Parallel execution**: All models run concurrently for minimal latency

**Registry System:**
- Global model registry: `get_global_registry()`
- Parallel predictions: `registry.predict_all(&features)`
- Model lifecycle management
