[Beowulf] Theoretical vs. Actual Performance

[Prentice Bisbal]

For OpenBlas, or hpl?

For hpl, I used GCC 6.1.0 with these flags. I

$ egrep -i "flags|defs" Make.gcc-6.1.0_openblas-0.2.19
F2CDEFS      = -DAdd__ -DF77_INTEGER=int -DStringSunStyle
HPL_DEFS     = $(F2CDEFS) $(HPL_OPTS) $(HPL_INCLUDES)
CCNOOPT  = $(HPL_DEFS)
OMP_DEFS = -openmp
CCFLAGS  = $(HPL_DEFS) -march=barcelona -O3 -Wall
LINKFLAGS    = $(CCFLAGS) $(OMP_DEFS)
ARFLAGS      = r

For OpenBLAS:

make DYNAMIC_ARCH=1 CC=gcc FC=gfortran

# This little summary is printed out at end of build:

  OpenBLAS build complete. (BLAS CBLAS LAPACK LAPACKE)

   OS               ... Linux
