The problem is that even if we "demonstrate" these 10
articles are bogus, we won't have proved a 100x speedup
isn't achievable (that's a simple logic problem), and you,
or someone else, might come back with another pool of
articles.
I picked 2 of these 10 only to find they were not fair, I
consider this as enough. I'd really like to have something
>20x faster than my CPU, but given how biased these 2 papers
are, I don't want to waste more of my time. So why don't
you go through these 10 papers and show us the one you
think is the most convincing?
