HPLINPACK
HPL stands for High Performance Linpack, is a software package that solves a (random) dense linear system in double precision (64 bits) arithmetic on distributed-memory computers. It can thus be regarded as a portable as well as freely available implementation of the High Performance Computing Linpack Benchmark.
What is Being Measured?
HPLinpack is designed to be a very simple benchmarking tool. It produces the amount of time it takes to solve linear system and rate of execution for solving the linear system.
- Time for solving linear system
- Rate of execution for solving linear system
Workload Metrics
The following metrics are examples of those captured by the Virtual Client when running the HPLinpack workload.
| Metric Name | Value | Unit | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time | 152.22 | secs | Time in seconds to solve the linear system. |
| GFlops | 35.041 | Gflops | Rate of execution for solving the linear system. |
