-  High Performance Computing Linpack Benchmark (HPL)
 
-  HPL 2.0 - September 10, 2008
 
- ==============================================================
 
-  HPL is a software package that solves a (random) dense linear
 
-  system  in   double  precision  (64   bits)   arithmetic   on 
 
-  distributed-memory  computers.   It can thus be regarded as a
 
-  portable as well as  freely  available implementation  of the
 
-  High Performance Computing Linpack Benchmark.
 
-  The  HPL  software  package requires the availibility on your
 
-  system of an implementation of the  Message Passing Interface
 
-  MPI  (1.1 compliant).  An  implementation of either the Basic
 
-  Linear Algebra Subprograms  BLAS  or the  Vector Signal Image
 
-  Processing Library VSIPL is also needed.  Machine-specific as
 
-  well as generic implementations of MPI, the  BLAS  and  VSIPL
 
-  are available for a large variety of systems.
 
-  Install See the file INSTALL in this directory.
