Well, that's that for these fresh reference OpenCL/CUDA numbers using the latest CUDA+NVIDIA Linux release atop Ubuntu 15.10. If you want to see how your own Linux system(s) compare to these results, simply install the Phoronix Test Suite and then run phoronix-test-suite benchmark 1601182-PTS-NVIDIAOP62 to carry out your own 100% automated, completely reproducible, side-by-side comparison against all of the benchmarks shown in this article.
