Known Limitations of the Intel® Optimized LINPACK Benchmark

The following limitations are known for the Intel Optimized LINPACK Benchmark for Linux*:

• Intel Optimized LINPACK Benchmark supports only OpenMP threading
• Intel Optimized LINPACK Benchmark is threaded to effectively use multiple processors. So, in multi-processor systems, best performance will be obtained with the Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology turned off, which ensures that the operating system assigns threads to physical processors only.
• If an incomplete data input file is given, the binaries may either hang or fault. See the sample data input files and/or the extended help for insight into creating a correct data input file.
