High performance conjugate gradient benchmark. – link – used to measure super computers. There are multiple sizes from 104x104x104 to 192x192x192 and two runtimes from 60 to 1800 where 1800 is what is used to officially submit scores. I picked the 144x144x144 size. It reports a metric in GFLOP/s. Overall profile runs consistently on eight threads, suggesting a MPI run.

Topdown profile shows mostly backend bound with a low retirement rate.

AMD metrics show ~150 floating point instructions per 1000, and confirm the low retirement, high backend memory stalls and low speculation.
