       This benchmark is highly experimental and may sometimes (frequently?)  give erroneous results.

par_ops  measures  the  available parallelism for basic CPU operations, such as integer ADD.  Results are
       reported as the average operation latency divided by the minimum average  operation  latency  across  all
       levels of parallelism.

       integer bit, add, mul, div, mod operations;
              maximum parallelism for integer XOR, ADD, MUL, DIV, MOD operations.

       uint64 bit, add, mul, div, mod operations;
              maximum parallelism for uint64 XOR, ADD, MUL, DIV, MOD operations.

       float add, mul, div operations;
              maximum parallelism for flot ADD, MUL, DIV operations.

       double add, mul, div operations;
              maximum parallelism for flot ADD, MUL, DIV operations.
