deal.II is part of SPEC CPU 2017

[Wolfgang Bangerth]

All,
here is a fun fact: deal.II (or, better: a deal.II-based program) is now part
of the SPEC CPU 2017 suite of benchmarks with which all computer makers
measure the speed of their machines:
http://spec.org/cpu2017
http://spec.org/cpu2017/Docs/overview.html#benchmarks
Specifically, it's the 510.parest_r benchmark that solves an inverse problem.

I like the fact that whenever computer makers build computers, they have to
optimize it for our codes as well ;-) Of course, they have already been doing
that for a long time:
http://spec.org/cpu2006/
http://spec.org/cpu2006/CFP2006/
http://spec.org/cpu2006/Docs/447.dealII.html

Cheers
W.
