@mecej4 yes, exactly. That’s why I think this “numerical benchmark” is not a good benchmark. So the only other numerical benchmark in there is the n-body benchmark, which I think actually is not bad. It’s a bit specialized (mostly how quickly you can compute 1/sqrt(x)), but very common for these kinds of simulations. However, Fortran excels in many other numerical simulations, which are not being tested by those benchmarks at all.
