HPCAgent-Bench evaluates agents that optimize performance-critical kernels across loop-level, scientific-computing, and machine-learning tasks. It uses a separate judge to check correctness and time submissions, compares controlled setup changes, and tracks token cost. Across 40 matched comparisons, only two significantly changed speedup, while billed token cost changed by up to 3.0×; this does not establish effects beyond tested settings.
