The Linpack benchmark measures how fast a computer solves dense systems of linear equations and measures a system’s floating-point computing power. The benchmark is based on Linpack, a software ...

In the beginning of supercomputer performance measurement there was Linpack. This benchmark, the gold standard for measuring high-performance computing, has been the basis for the TOP500 supercomputer ...

We all know about the Top 500 supercomputing benchmark, which measures raw floating point performance. But over the several years there has been talk that this no longer represents real-world ...

When we cover the bi-annual listing of the world’s most powerful supercomputers, the metric at the heart of those results, the high performance Linpack benchmark, the gold standard for over two ...

The way supercomputer power is measured is about to change. Since 1993, the much-celebrated bi-annual TOP500 list is compiled using Jack Dongarra’s benchmark system, called Linpack. It is the most ...

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tachyum ®, creator of Prodigy ®, the world’s first Universal Processor, today announced it has successfully completed vector-based High-Performance LINPACK (HPL) testing ...

The developer of the most widely used test for ranking the performance of supercomputers has said his metric is out of date and proposed a new test that will be introduced starting in November. Jack ...

The High Performance Conjugate Gradients (HPCG) Benchmark list was announced this week at SC15. This is the fourth list produced for the emerging benchmark designed to complement the traditional High ...

The benchmark is based on Linpack, a software library for performing numerical linear algebra on digital computers that was written in Fortran by computer scientists Jack Dongarra, Jim Bunch, Cleve ...
