Dear Amir, I am afraid most of the examples provided with the suite are excellent examples to understand how to create an input files and deal with multiple parameters of PWscf. But those examples are not suitable for a performance-oriented benchmarking activity. If you want to assess the performance of your CPU+GPU workstation (or cluster) you might need to try some input cases a bit more computational intensive. GPU support has been introduced to tackle heavy computational calculations, by taking advantage by the acceleration provided by the graphic cards. If the test takes one minutes or less using only the GPU, there is no point to look for any additional acceleration with a GPU.
I suggest AUSURF112, you can find it here: http://qe-forge.org/gf/project/q-e/frs/?action=FrsReleaseBrowse&frs_package_id=36 ( or the archive "pwscf-small-benchmark.tar.gz") I'll take as personal stuff to provide a small set of new benchmarks (with reference outputs) only for the GPU package. Please, subscribe the mailing-list dedicated to the GPU version of the code here http://qe-forge.org/mailman/listinfo/q-e-gpgpu I will be glad to help you go through any issue you might encounter.
