What is recorded here?
Explained the LINPACK benchmark based on solving dense systems of linear equations and set out how the computation and reported performance were organized for comparing high-performance systems.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The record is the sole-author 1988 proceedings chapter. The multi-author LINPACK software package, later parallel LINPACK and HPL, TOP500 rankings, vendor tuning and whole-system usefulness remain separate.
