@mingxuanwupnnl would you expect this to be climate changing? TSC tests indicate it is.

The MVK test passed last night so it must be on the borderline. But TSC is still indicating a fail.

@mahf708 can you rebase this to head of master to remove the conflict?

Converted back to draft because want to merge after #7015
