That's the very old (now unused) benchmark runner. Numpy has had an ASV
test suite for a while, see
https://github.com/numpy/numpy/tree/master/benchmarks for how to run it.

The approach of GUPB is interesting (the whole application part that is,
the rest looks much more cumbersome than ASV benchmarks), but of course
easier to create for Python than for Numpy. You'd need to find whole
applications that spend most of their time in numpy but not in too small a
set of numpy functions. Maybe benchmark suites of other projects aren't
such a bad idea for that. Or spend a bit of time collecting relevant
published ipython notebooks.
