Benchmarking

Tests / trials

What should these tests be?

Follow Abaqus benchmarks

Assess relative performance

Increase in performance given use of i.e. extra cores without the need for additional licenses?

Like for like i.e. same no of cores

Assess correctness/accuracy

NAFEMS Benchmark tests
