Each section in the reference.log file has a threshold specifier, which consists
of 2 lines:
 * [metric operator]
 * threshold value

The metric operator line specifies the name of the metric, a vertical bar ('|'), and either 'ge' or 'le', all inside square brackets.

The threshold value is a numeric value to compare the benchmark result with,
to indicate success or failure.

Example:
{{{#!YellowBox
[SciMark.FFT|ge]
0
[SciMark.LU|ge]
0
}}}

This file is read by parser.py to check the metrics against each declared threshold, to determine pass or fail for benchmark tests.
