Hello,
When the switch to version 8 was made, I expected updated benchmarks; however, that didn't happen, and CheckMate remains the only new benchmark to date.
I had already suggested updating certain benchmarks, but I’ve now consolidated those ideas into a single post.
CPU:
CheckMate - OK
PhotoWorxx - should be replaced, for example, with the VVC/EVC/AV2 encoding benchmark
Zlib - must be replaced with a faster implementation, for example Zlib-ng https://github.com/zlib-ng/zlib-ng
AES - OK
+However, it is also necessary to add the ChaCha20 (used in TLS 1.3) benchmark, which is relevant for processors without AESNI https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ChaCha20-Poly1305
+In addition, it is desirable to add the new AEGIS benchmark (proposed for future use with TLS) https://cfrg.github.io/draft-irtf-cfrg-aegis-aead/draft-irtf-cfrg-aegis-aead.html
SHA3 - OK
+However, it is also necessary to add a SHA-2 benchmark capable of utilizing SHA instructions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA_instruction_set
FPU:
Julia - OK
Mandel - must be refined for better multithreading support https://forums.aida64.com/topic/13433-threadripper-7975wx-bench-results/#comment-63473
SinJulia - OK
FP32 RayTrace - OK
FP64 RayTrace - OK
+It would also be interesting to see the LINPACK benchmark (or at least DGEMM/SGEMM)
NPU:
some benchmark needs to be added
