                                 LINPACK

    The LINPACK benchmark by J.Dongarra, Argonne National Laboratory,
    has  become the most widely used application benchmark for scien-
    tific and engineering environments. The LINPACK  here  refers  to
    the  solving  of  a 100x100 system of linear equations, in single
    and double precision, in rolled and unrolled versions. The bench-
    mark  particularly emphasizes floating point computation, thus is
    very sensitive to the  hardware  floating  point  capability,  is
    easily  vectorizable,  thus  very  dependent  of the run-time li-
    braries  and  of  their  quality,  usually  doesn't  fit  in  the
    cache(s),  thus  exercizing  seriously the memory bandwith and so
    rightfully qualifies also as a  memory  benchmark.  However,  the
    LINPACK being very carefully coded does not represent a difficult
    case for the compiler or its optimization capability.
