Benchmarking: Intel Linpack

Make sure Hyperthreading is set to on in BIOS and this is run on Linux (normally a separate SSD with Centos on)

Head to Intel`s site to get the latest linpack libraries:

https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-math-kernel-library-linpack-download

Download the latest tgz for linux. This can potentially be done using wget (below is just a example, a newer version maybe available):

wget http://registrationcenter.intel.com/irc_nas/4547/l_lpk_p_11.2.0.003.tgz

Then untar:

tar -xvf l_lpk_p_11.2.0.003.tgz

The above should create a new folder of the untarred files, navigate into this and find main linpack x64 program:

cd l_lpk_p_11.2.0.003/linpack/benchmarks/linpack

./xlinpack_xeon64
