LINPACK is a library to measure the performance of computer systems.

LINPACK is a software library for performing numerical linear algebra on digital computers. It was written in Fortran by Jack Dongarra, Jim Bunch, Cleve Moler, and Gilbert Stewart, and was intended for use on supercomputers in the 1970s and early 1980s.It has been largely superseded by LAPACK, which runs more efficiently on modern architectures.

What's a consistent set of Intel HPL options?

I'm trying to run the intel version of the HPL benchmark here and I'm a bit confused by the options. What I want to do (for now) is a single-node run. The node has 2x Xeon Platinum 8276 processors, so 56 cores total. So my PxQ should be 56. However…
