Linpack for PC

★ ★ ★ Linpack Overview

What is Linpack?

The Linpack Benchmark app is a tool that measures a system's floating point computing power. It calculates how fast a computer can solve a dense N by N system of linear equations Ax = b, which is a common task in engineering. The result is reported in millions of floating point operations per second (MFLOP/s). The app also checks the computed solution to ensure its correctness.

Software Features and Description

1. The solution is obtained by Gaussian elimination with partial pivoting, with 2/3·N3 + 2·N2 floating point operations.

2. The result is reported in millions of floating point operations per second (MFLOP/s, sometimes simply called FLOPS).

3. The LINPACK Benchmarks are a measure of a system's floating point computing power.

4. Millions of floating point operations per second.

5. A floating point operation here is a floating point addition or a floating point multiplication with 64 bit operands.

6. The relative machine precision usually the smallest positive number such that fl( 1.0 - eps ) < 1.0, where fl denotes the computed value and eps is the relative machine precision.

7. They measure how fast a computer solves a dense N by N system of linear equations Ax = b, which is a common task in engineering.

8. A check is made to show that the computed solution is correct.

9. If this quantity is much larger than 1, the solution is probably incorrect.

10. The Norm Res should be about O(1) in size.

11. eps) where eps is described below.

Linpack functions

- Measures a system's floating point computing power

- Calculates how fast a computer can solve a dense N by N system of linear equations Ax = b

- Reports the result in millions of floating point operations per second (MFLOP/s)

- Checks the computed solution to ensure its correctness

- Provides information on time taken to solve the problem and the norm res

- Calculates the relative machine precision

✔ Pros:

- Linpack is a benchmark program with a long history and can provide a rough notion of the iPhone's power on math-intensive work.

- The app can show the iPhone's performance superiority over other phones on the market.

- One reviewer can adjust the problem size to get the best possible performance.

☹ Cons:

- The app steals cycles for ads during a benchmark, which seems wrong.

- Linpack is not meant to be used as a black-box measure, and only the problem size can be adjusted here.

- The app may not have any useful applications other than benchmarking.

Does what it says: a very specialized test of math speed

By WaltFrench (Pcmac user)

this app is a benchmark program with a long history; this little app moves it to the iPhone. I am not aware of any app that actually uses this type of math on a smartphone; most smartphone applications, even if they analyze huge sets of data, don't attempt the advanced statistical insights it could give. (That is, IF it worked against real data and reported any result other than how accurately it solved the this app problem. This is JUST for benchmarking!) I've used the math on desktop machines for an aggressive stat approach to investing, and the math has useful applications in almost all science, but a phone, especially due to its casual use patterns, is an unlikely home for these types of in-depth studies. In that sense, this app is useful for getting a rough notion of the iPhone's power on math-intensive work and almost nothing else. I found it useful to compare to the old PCs that I used for my work (almost a hundred times faster!) or against other smartphones (similar to other what I see quoted for other ARM chips at similar clock speeds). Maybe the developer will suggest other uses, or show how clever programming could speed up the direct way of solving the problem, but I've been happy with just this.
Owners of other phones look on with envy

By Bz006!! (Pcmac user)

They can say all they want, but when other phone user's have inefficent OS and hardware setup. It shows. And this is the app that will show them. the 4S and iPad 2 that I have just burn through every phone on the market. Including 1.5GHz ones. This is comparable as they all are currently using more or less the same CPU in each phone. Either an ARM Cortex A9 or a slightly modified one; thus when my 800MHz 4S crushes that 1.5GHz ...phone....yeah. This doesn't stand for everything, but it does mean something.
Droid smoker

By DirtyJ375 (Pcmac user)

I learned about this app by watching a clip about the Droid 2. The commentator showed that this app was installed so the viewer could check out the mflops that the Droid 2 is putting out. Turns out that the iPhone 4 totally smokes the Droid 2 by over twice as much mflops. So, to show your iPhone's performance superiority I'd say that this app does the job rather well.
Nice, but with two caveats...

By drtromo (Pcmac user)

First, it seems wrong to steal cycles for ads during a benchmark, but it's unclear how much (or even if) this has an effect. Second, the this app benchmark is meant to be tuned to your system to get the best possible performance, not as a black-box measure. Only the problem size can be adjusted here, but that can have a big effect. For example, on my iPhone 4, by changing the size to 512, I can get an average of 154 MFlops/s.
