Euler 3D Fluid Dynamics


This fluid dynamics simulation is very CPU and memory
intensive. 
From the benchmark

source website:

The
benchmark testcase is the AGARD 445.6 aeroelastic test wing. The wing
uses a NACA 65A004 airfoil section and has a panel aspect ratio of
1.65, a taper ratio of 0.66, and a 45 degree quarter-chord sweep angle.
This AGARD wing was tested at the NASA Langley Research Center in the
16-foot Transonic Dynamics Tunnel and is a standard aeroelastic test
case used for validation of unsteady, compressible CFD codes. Figure 1
shows the CFD predicted Mach contours for a freestream Mach number of
0.960.

The
benchmark CFD grid contains 1.23 million tetrahedral elements
and 223 thousand nodes. The benchmark executable advances the Mach 0.50
AGARD flow solution. Our benchmark score is reported as a CFD cycle
frequency in
Hertz.


Microsoft Image Composite Engine


This application takes any number of images and attempts to
"stitch" them together to make a single panoramic image.



Hyper PI (Super PI)


From Wikipedia:
Super PI is a computer program that calculates pi to a specified number
of digits after the decimal point - up to a maximum of 32 million. It
uses Gauss-Legendre algorithm and is a Windows port of the program used
by Yasumasa Kanada in 1995 to compute Pi to 232 digits.


The results continue to point to the power of the SNB architecture with a single threaded application.
