Description
Do we need the TSTEPS loop in POLYBENCH_JACOBI_2D if we have the repeats loop? It would be easier to look at the performance of the parallel part of the kernel without the extra loop. I can see having the TSTEPS loop if we expect to incorporate it into the parallel loop.

Research direction
Start by locating the POLYBENCH_JACOBI_2D kernel and comparing its TSTEPS and repeats loops. Determine whether TSTEPS is still needed for the intended benchmark or should be incorporated into the parallel loop. Done means the loop structure and performance measurement behavior match the project's agreed intent.
