Everything about LINPACK benchmarks
Measure of a systems floating point architecture
The LINPACK benchmarks are a measure of a system's floating-point computing power. Introduced by Jack Dongarra, they measure how fast a computer solves a dense n × n system of linear equations Ax = b, which is a common task in engineering. Wikipedia →
