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 ...

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 But over the several years there has been talk that this no longer represents real-world ...

How do you measure the performance of the world’s biggest supercomputers? Developed at Sandia National Laboratories, the HPCG benchmark is intended as a complement to the High Performance LINPACK (HPL ...

If the hyperscalers have taught us anything, it is that more data is always better. And because of this, we have to start out by saying that we are grateful to the researchers who created and ...

The results are in and the LG Optimus 2X is a beast. The power behind the superphone, the Nvidia Tegra 2 dual-core 1 GHz “superchip” processor, is proving it deserves all of the hype it has received.

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 ...
