LINPACK makes use of the BLAS (Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms) libraries for performing basic vector and matrix operations.
For large-scale distributed-memory systems, HPL, a portable implementation of the High-Performance LINPACK Benchmark, is used as a performance measure for ranking supercomputers in the TOP500 list of the world's fastest computers. The benchmark is run for different matrix sizes n searching for the size Nmax for which the maximal performance Rmax is obtained. The benchmark also reports the problem size N1/2 where half of the performance (Rmax/2) is achieved. EXTERNAL LINKS
