GPU info not always reported?

Hi,
I've been searching the various CPU and Compute scores, and I cannot see much information on the GPU that a given system uses.
At least not reported in any consistent manner.
Why is that?
Surely it's quite critical to know that to interpret the results?

I cannot see how the CPU Tests are done, do they deliberately disable the GPU?
So I stayed in the Compute database for the following because I know they use the GPU (assuming the software recognizes it is there...?).

I did a search in Compute with various GPU terms:
Geforce = 286,277
Tesla = 1,362
GRID = 243
Titan = 1,982
Graphics = 213,635
Quaddro = 13,172
Radeon = 352,368
Sum = 869,039

Out of what must be a data set in excess of 1million results ("AMD" , "intel" "Mac" searches give 370,944 + 742,546 = 1,083,490 results).

So it seem there might be a lot more GPU one that don't get reported: 1083490 - 869039 = 214,451
Or at least are hard to find.
(And I tried "UHD" and "HD" as well, but it duplicated "Graphics").

And I saw how many Single and Multiple Core Processor results there are: 1,378 (Single and Multiple #'s are the same).
They report GPU info (or some, only one GPU where in some cases they have several).

So my main question, is how valid are the bulk of these million results?
How does one know if a given Benchmark test ran properly, and used the GPU when it shoudl have?

I think one needs to be able to extract a range of benchmarks using some specified criteria.
Thanks,
Alan
