Math Kernel Library Developer Guide
The source code for Intel Distribution for LINPACK Benchmark is not provided. However, you can download reference Netlib HPL source code from http://www.netlib.org/benchmark/hpl/ . To build the HPL:
Download and extract the source code.
Copy the makefile <mkl directory>\benchmarks\mp_linpack\Make.Windows_Intel64 to your HPL directory
Edit Make.Windows_Intel64 as appropriate
Build the HPL binary:
$> nmake -f Make.Windows_Intel64
Check that the built binary is available in the current directory.
The Intel Distribution for LINPACK Benchmark may contain additional optimizations compared to the reference Netlib HPL implementation.
Optimization Notice |
---|
Intel's compilers may or may not optimize to the same degree for non-Intel microprocessors for optimizations that are not unique to Intel microprocessors. These optimizations include SSE2, SSE3, and SSSE3 instruction sets and other optimizations. Intel does not guarantee the availability, functionality, or effectiveness of any optimization on microprocessors not manufactured by Intel. Microprocessor-dependent optimizations in this product are intended for use with Intel microprocessors. Certain optimizations not specific to Intel microarchitecture are reserved for Intel microprocessors. Please refer to the applicable product User and Reference Guides for more information regarding the specific instruction sets covered by this notice. Notice revision #20110804 |
