Not to denegrate the benchmark game etc but those excited about benchmarking should take a look at my post RE the [Pure Julia HINT benchmark](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/pure-julia-hint-benchmark/88055)

HINT was designed as a different kind of benchmark, first off it measures convergence rate of a numerical calculation, and second off it does so over a range of different memory usages, so it measures memory bandwidth issues and shows a certain 1D “structure” of a computers performance.

Hoping to get some interest in reviving this great benchmark from benchmark fans. I would be happy to contribute after recovering from COVID… 😔🤒🤧
