Thanks for the feedback Divi. This is very useful and I am glad things are
working for you now. So far I've yet to see any problems with the
benchmark suites so it is good to get some variation in the testing -
especially for larger simulations.

One datapoint that is missing right now is parallel. So if you have time
it would be nice if you could rerun your simulation across both GPUs with
mpirun -np 2 - essentially run the 100,000 steps twice one after the other
and see if they come out identical.

Thanks.

All the best
Ross
