@Vika-F It looks like a bit too much to add to the regular config. Could it be shortened and the current ones left for a non-regular config?

@david-cortes-intel Will it work if I move the config from regular to experiments?

Yes.

This one is quite big. Are you sure it runs in a reasonable amount of time compared to the rest of the benchmarks?

@Vika-F It would be ideal to try out these additional shapes to assess current performance as a one-off experiment:

• 100 * 1,000
• 1,000 * 5,000
• 10,000 * 20,000
• 25,000 * 3
• 25,000 * 10
• 50,000 * 2
