[Users] benchmarks

[Erik Schnetter]

I believe these benchmark parameter files are wildly out of date and should be removed.

These days, we auto-generate benchmark files based on the target system to ensure that the benchmark parameters are scaled correctly. I have some script in Simfactory that do this. There is a low-level interface to the scripts where you (unfortunately) need to set many parameters (nodes, cores, processes, threads, SMT threads, memory to be used, CPU time to be used, etc.), and a high-level interface where you (unfortunately) basically cannot set anything since these are all chosen automatically... I should give an overview in person; would next Monday during the ET call make sense?
