QTIP uses a number of different tests, or workloads, to measure performance.
The workloads are divided into five different sections:
-+-----------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+------------------------------------------+
-| Section | Detail | Indication |

-| Integer | Integer workloads measure the integer instruction performace | All app relies on integer |

A section score is the `geometric mean <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_mean>`_ of all the workload scores for workloads
that are part of the section. These scores are useful for determining the performance of
