New CPU benchmarks suggestions


Recommended Posts

Please consider adding the real-world based benchmarks used in specwpc (https://www.spec.org/gwpg/wpc.static/wpc-v2.1-info.html) which scale insanely with cores:

Rodinia (pre-euler 3D) --- this is representative of Computational Fluid dynamics packages  , see https://www.cs.virginia.edu/~skadron/wiki/rodinia/index.php/Rodinia:Accelerating_Compute-Intensive_Applications_with_Accelerators

WPCcfd (based on OpenFoam) --- this is representative of Computational Fluid dynamics packages

CalculiX ---- this is representative of Finite Element Analysis packages

Poisson's Equation  ---- partial differentiation solver

Monte Carlo , Black Scholes, Binomial  --- for financial analysts

Luxrender --- maybe , it's a render benchmark but I think Corona benchmark would be more widely used ( https://corona-renderer.com/benchmark/all)

FFTW --- anyone using Fast Fourier Transforms will make use of this (http://www.fftw.org/)  single precision AVX.

octave --- representative of MATLAB workloads to a certain extent (it uses .m files)

python --- because python is used in the real world

Kirchoff migration --- representative of geophysics workloads

 

Just about nobody uses Superpi or wprime in daily use. The practical applications of that many digits of pi is extremely low. Also nobody buys a 10+ core CPU to run Superpi.

x264 and x265 benchmarks are semi-useful as are Cinebench and Blender but there ought to be less focus on Digital Content Creation benchmarks and more scientific/engineering ones.

I don't mind if no points are given but it would be helpful to people that use their CPUs for more than "just gaming" to have a better picture of the performance in real workloads.

Just a thought.
