LinX - A simple Linpack interface

[fgw]

I'm afraid not. Linpack solves a system of linear equations (a matrix with dimensions Problem Size x Leading Dimensions, 10000 x 10008 in your case) where every operand requires a fixed amount of memory (8 bytes). 99% of memory consumed by Linpack is used just to store that matrix. So problem size and memory are bound together.

Good news for you is that Linpack is pretty light on memory stressing. Minor memory instabilities usually don't cause errors in Linpack.

so, whats the idea behind using a big amount of memory during linx/linpack tests? if memory is not stressed too much and therefor linpack does not tell us that much on memory instabilities, wouldn't it be better to focus mainly on testing cpu stability and use as little memory as possible?

i have to run memtest anyway to verify memory stability (or if someone prefers online testing: occt or prime)!
