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 ...

The spec bullet list for the latest Raspberry Pi begins as you’ve already heard: WiFi and Bluetooth, now standard. While this is impressive itself, it doesn’t tell the whole story. The Pi 3, with an ...

In the beginning of supercomputer performance measurement there was Linpack. This benchmark, the gold standard for measuring high-performance computing, has been the basis for the TOP500 supercomputer ...

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 But over the several years there has been talk that this no longer represents real-world ...

Whether it is IBM with the data-centric approach to next generation supercomputers or Intel with its scalable systems framework, there is little doubt that these and other major players in HPC are ...

The way supercomputer power is measured is about to change. Since 1993, the much-celebrated bi-annual TOP500 list is compiled using Jack Dongarra’s benchmark system, called Linpack. It is the most ...

There are dozens of ways to usefully measure the performance of the world’s fastest supercomputers – everything from the speed of a system’s internal communications network and its ability to randomly ...

It used to be simple: Multiply the microprocessor’s clock rate by four, and you could measure a computer’s computational power in megaFLOPS (millions of floating point operations per second) or ...

We may earn a commission when you click links to retailers and purchase goods. More info. Ian Douglas, a web architect over at Armor Games has managed to get a hold of a Nexus One running Android 2.2 ...

The High Performance Conjugate Gradients (HPCG) Benchmark list was announced this week at SC15. This is the fourth list produced for the emerging benchmark designed to complement the traditional High ...
