Which is way too long for my impatience, (not to mention it was several times slower on the 770). So I've just implemented an adaptive mechanism for executing fewer iterations per test when possible. The approach I took was to set a desired threshold value for the standard deviation (I chose 3%) and to stop iterating as soon as that threshold was reached by a consecutive number of iterations (I chose 5). So on my x86 laptop with the XAA server that results in an average of about 9.5 iterations per test (rather than the previous 100 iterations per test). And the complete suite completes in about 3 minutes compared to 34 minutes. So I'm pretty happy with that. But if anybody has any suggested refinements for determining when we can declare that we are getting stable results, I would be glad to hear them. -Carl
