HPL Linpack

HPL is a well known portable Linpack implementation for distributed memory systems. This test profile is testing HPL upstream directly, outside the scope of the HPC Challenge test profile also available through the Phoronix Test Suite (hpcc). The test profile attempts to generate an optimized HPL.dat input file based on the CPU/memory under test. The automated HPL.dat input generation is still being tuned and thus for now this test profile remains "experimental".

To run this test with the Phoronix Test Suite, the basic command is: phoronix-test-suite benchmark hpl.

Use with caution this test profile is currently marked Experimental.

Performance Metrics

Analyze Test Configuration:

HPL Linpack 2.3

OpenBenchmarking.org metrics for this test profile configuration based on 240 public results since 6 March 2021 with the latest data as of 27 August 2024.

Below is an overview of the generalized performance for components where there is sufficient statistically significant data based upon user-uploaded results. It is important to keep in mind particularly in the Linux/open-source space there can be vastly different OS configurations, with this overview intended to offer just general guidance as to the performance expectations.

Based on OpenBenchmarking.org data, the selected test / test configuration (HPL Linpack 2.3) has an average run-time of 1 hour, 56 minutes. By default this test profile is set to run at least 3 times but may increase if the standard deviation exceeds pre-defined defaults or other calculations deem additional runs necessary for greater statistical accuracy of the result.

Based on public OpenBenchmarking.org results, the selected test / test configuration has an average standard deviation of 0.6%.
