Congratulations!
I'd recommend starting with LINPACK:

Just to get an idea of the performance of the thing.

With LINPACK you can compare your results with others, including new
computers. I would suggest other benchmarks, Dhrystone, Whetstone, FFT
because the FORTRAN codes are readily available and there are reports
from the CONVEX era that compare results from many different computers.
NEC2 is a good idea. Also, look into calculation of Pi, it is entertaining.
