What’s a LINPACK benchmark?

The LINPACK benchmark measures computer speed by solving linear equations. There are three benchmarks: LINPACK Fortran n=100, LINPACK n=1000, and Highly Parallel Computing. The results are published in a report and compared to other systems. LAPACK has replaced LINPACK in some applications. A LINPACK benchmark is a way to measure the speed of a computer. […]
