Obviously we're going to need a compiler eventually, so if we could translate those into a high level language, that would be fantastic. Indeed, it would be a wonderful contribution to be able to supply another benchmark suite based on captures from real games and such.
I know, however, that there are already suites of synthetic benchmarks, kinda like SPEC, PARSEC, and Splash, except for GPUs. I've just never dealt with them before, since all my research was on CPUs. On top of this, we're going to need to develop a huge suite of simple tests to validate designs and check for regressions and such.
