About

Linpack

This utility measures a system's floating-point computing power by solving dense linear equations. It reports results in millions of floating-point operations per second (MFLOP/s) and includes checks for solution accuracy and machine precision.

Highlights
  • Measures floating-point computing power
  • Solves dense linear equations
  • Reports MFLOP/s
  • Checks solution accuracy
  • Determines relative machine precision

Linpack Benchmark The LINPACK Benchmarks are a measure of a system's floating point computing power. 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. The solution is obtained by Gaussian elimination with partial pivoting, with 2/3·N3 + 2·N2 floating point operations. The result is reported in millions of floating point operations per second (MFLOP/s, sometimes simply called FLOPS). Results. Mflop/s: Millions of floating point operations per second. A floating point operation here is a floating point addition or a floating point multiplication with 64 bit operands. For this problem there are 2/3 n^3 + n^2 floating point operations. Time: The time in seconds to solve the problem, Ax=b. Norm Res: A check is made to show that the computed solution is correct. The test is based on || Ax - b || / ( || A || || x || eps) where eps is described below. The Norm Res should be about O(1) in size. If this quantity is much larger than 1, the solution is probably incorrect. Precision: 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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Linpack holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SYSMonitor has 38 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 78% of Linpack's written reviews are positive against 40% of SYSMonitor's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Linpack ships an update every 8 months, SYSMonitor every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on August 28, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
