One of the applications that might be comparable are web apps / frameworks.
They can be configured relatively easily to give deterministic results 
(html /json) on arguably comparable input (http request).
There's already an existing benchmark 
site<http://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r5&d=2>, 
including sources.
